    My VGN T350P (Windows XP) has an annoying power management monitoring problem. Does anyone have a solution?

    When I select vaio control center icon and then Vaio power management viewer, i am told that my Vaio Power management is diabled and that I should open my Control Panel and enable Vaio Power Management via Power Options Properties.

    When I do that within Control Panel, I can open the Vaio Power management tab.... :) but the font is too large for the fixed-size window, and I can only see a portion of the available options :( ... This means that I can't review or reset my power management controls.

    How can I reset the font size or make the window resizeable?
    Any suggestions much appreciated!

    You have a high resolution display, no?

    Go into control panel > display > appearance
    change font size to normal, hit apply and reboot.

    Once you're done with your settings, change the size back to large or extra large, whatever it was. Hope this helps.

    Thanks Hep but it doesnt seem to He(l)p. I have hi res screen 1280x768 but it is set to normal font. Problem persists with either Classic or XP theme. Message text is set to default Tahoma 8 in Control Panel but my Sony Power Management window font is always too large ....perhaps 12pt... and only this particular window has the large font...which is curious.
