    • You can also use third-party driver update software like DriverBooster to automatically update all your drivers.

      Adjusting Display Settings:​

    []Custom Resolution: Some graphics control panels allow you to create custom resolutions. Check if your graphics card settings have an option for custom resolutions. []Scaling Options: You can adjust the scaling options within the graphics control panel to make the display more suitable for your needs without changing the global font size settings.

    Additional Tips:​

    • Compatibility Mode: If the driver update doesn't solve the issue, you can try running the driver installer in compatibility mode for Windows XP.
    • Windows Updates: Make sure to install any pending Windows updates as they might include driver updates or patches that could help.
    Before proceeding, ensure you create a restore point so you can revert if anything goes wrong during the driver update process. If you encounter any specific errors or need further assistance, feel free to provide more details.
