Windows 7 theme problem

[michaelc]

Hello, recently, my computer asked me if i'd like to change theme back to 'windows basic' due to high usage of memory. I clicked yes however i encountered problem with font(?) being massive! Have a look at this:

Can this be solved?

P.S sorry for the massive picture cant resize it on paint because of this

Have a look in

Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display > Set Custom Text Size (DPI)

Set to 100%

Can't even navigate through control panel due to all folders being like this. Can this be done through shortcuts or perhaps a bat file?

Do it in safe mode?

Copy this into Notepad

Spoiler

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000060

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0000\Software\Fonts]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000060

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\Software\Fonts]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000060

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\Software\Fonts]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000060

[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontDPI]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"LogPixels"=dword:00000060

Save as dpi.reg and change the file type to all files. Save on the desktop for ease of access. Right click it and chose Merge. Ok the operation and reboot, see if that fixes ya

Have to say it's an odd problem though

Starting in safe mode causes same problem.

To last reply about the reg edit - After a while of trying to figure out how to click on merge because it happens when I right click too I finally got it with help of a friend and after restart nothing changed

Anything else I could try? Should I just do a system restore?

Doing system restore seems to have fixed it.
