DPI error? in Windows 7

    In Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display I have set the text
    size to 100% (96 DPI), after trying a number of different settings. Now it
    seems like the setting doesn't apply everywhere, I have some old
    applications, which draws text like in 120DPI (125%).

    In Visual Studio it also inserts this line in the designer.vb file
    Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(6.0!, 13.0!)
    This indicates that Windows is still using 120DPI

    Sorry for posting in the Vista group, but there's no group for Windows 7.

    Thanks in advance

    It also happens on "new" apps as well, at least with an ATI HD4890 video
    card and 9.9 drivers.
