What's your computer OS?

Which OS does your computer have? Try disabling this feature for your browsers. For example, locate the Chrome executable which is commonly found in %ProgramFiles(x86)%/Google/Chrome/Application/. Right click the file, select "Properties" and then under the "Compatibility" tab tick the box saying "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings"

- If you run the program (and it doesn't do much) does it stay active in Task Manager, or does it disappear from there?
- Go to the command prompt and type "\program files\internet explorer\iexplore" (including the quotes) + enter. Does it give any message apart from the next prompt? What happens on the screen?
