I recently purchased a new Blu ray / MDisc burner, 100Gb capacity. It came with Cyberlink Power2Go (OEM) included. Normally when software is included with a peripheral, it is meant to work.
I was eager to try out the 100GB disks. Once I installed the software from what I remember last summer, it looked ok. I have since changed monitors and have a large screen high resolution now. When I open the software the fonts and menus are so small i cannot see them. It is nearly impossible to use!!
There are some work arounds, I tried them, such as Over-ride DPI (or something) and there are different combinations you can select when you right click on the program and select properties. These did absolutely nothing. I tried using a lower resolution and was prompted by the software "Power2Go will not function in this resoution and this DPI setting".
Apparently, someone thought it was a good idea to have some default settings built in that conflict or disobey the windows settings for fonts, and absolutely not workable way to change them. Windows has removed the option to individually control program font sizes, so this is not an option. Its all or nothing.
The wonders of technology and the advances that it brings!!
Using Windows magnifiier I was able to attept to setup a disk to write. The problem is I have 100GB Mdisc XL media and in the software it only allows me to burn blue ray disks (with a maximum 25GB). This is not what I paid for!!
The simple and easy fix to this was to open up my old copy of Ashampoo burning suite (FREE) which lets me burn any kind of disk I want. It is easy to use, intuitive and hassle free. Mischief managed.
My experience, and I have a lot of it, with software is OEM and commercial are usually pretty close in function. I am very glad I did not buy this, but at the same time it would be nice if it worked because in a way I did buy it.
