Comment Boot Camp Retina (Score 1) 241

Any tips how to tweak Windows settings for non-retina applications? At work I have some Windows apps that I occasionally use from a Mac at home via VPN. They have worked OK although somewhat sluggishly on my late-2009 4GB Mac mini via Win 7/VMware. We recently got mid-2014 MBP so I tried Win 8 via Boot Camp but the initial experience was very bad: Win 8 Remote desktop client app's text & icons are way too tiny. One PACS client's image area is OK but the user interface elements are way too big so they fill almost the whole screen leaving only a small area for the images. The other PACS client severely crops its display area. It behaves slightly better if I adjust its window smaller but it is still unusable. I tried to tweak the "Make Text and other (Desktop?) items larger or smaller" and tweaked the resolution down to 1980x1080 but the results were not satisfactory. Any suggestions? Is Win 10 any better with Boot Camp?

That's a sad story. But to a radiologist "a speck of dust" sounds like "might be just noise, need more input to label this as malignant". There is a fine line between too much false positives and too much false negatives. I guess that was a barium study which is not very sensitive at all compared to gastroscopy. The world is full of anecdotes from relatives complaining how doctors fail to 100% diagnose everything that in hindsight is clear.
