O.P. Vista Menus
Hello all :) I am running Windows Vista, and when i right click the menus are so huge and oversized :( is there a way to alter these so they are smaller? :) Thanks.

It is not related to the drivers.

Please .2007, don't post anymore when you have no clue about the subject. Various users have warned you before and you keep doing it. I'm not trying to harm you in any way here, but it is getting a little annoying and it would be great for the community to see you improve a bit.

In Vista, the default font resolution and icon size is a higher then in Windows XP. Try going in the display settings and selecting a smaller icon size and smaller DPI setting for your font.

No, Vista supports relatively high resolutions with the default VGA drivers. So even if he didn't install his graphics drivers, he would still be able to run Vista at high resolution, but without the bells and whistles of the Aero user interface.

And its nothing to do with Graphics Cards anyway :) its just the font is to big for my liking in menus, an i will thanks (Y)

EDIT: Its already at the smallest :( I just want the right click menu text to be smaller and less spacious.

There is another place (Display Theme? Don't exactly remember where) where you can set the font size for menus.
