Problem - New laptop comes with mandatory Windows 8.
Solution - OOTPB works fine with Windows 8 (ok, this one is a gimme).
Problem - New laptop has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080. Nice for OOTPB (I've seen portions of some screens for the first time, like nine (9) windows available for the Organization Overview screen!) but . . . tiny font. It's clear but still too small to be comfortable for long periods of play.
Solution - Select windowed 1600 x 900 in OOTPB preferences. When about to play OOTPB, right click on desktop and select 1600 x 900 screen resolution (which seems to be the #2 suggestion from the laptop manufacturer). Start OOTPB and . . . perfect match! (Only six (6) Organization Overview windows but I'll "live" with that.
)
Problem - But, hmmm. Mr. Fussbudget does not like the display which looks just a bit blurry in this resolution. Not bad, but bothersome.
Solution - Hey, what about one of the other skins? Download the Classic skin and try it out. Holy Smokes, this looks great! Fonts nice and crisp. (I have noticed in the past such subtle differences among skins - it's not just a matter of color schemes).
I love the flexibility of OOTPB.
