Ok I fixed it.
CoH dev's need to learn how to program without affecting windows.
This was caused due to my font size in WINDOWS beign 140%.
Now I can go blind faster but my CoH will run, yay!

Right-click on City of Heroes in the launcher, select properties, then add the following to "Extra command line parameters" to get a windowed version for the initial launch (you can then change the options in-game):
-fullscreen 0
Get into the game, change the screen resolution, exit game completely (to the desktop), remove the "-fullscreen 0", restart the game. You should be at your resolution choice that you selected in game.
Or control screen size, you can also add:
-screen <Xsize> <Ysize>
Example:
-fullscreen 0 -screen 1024 768
If you are trying to set it to fullscreen at a specific size instead add this:
-fullscreen 1 -screen 1024 768

It's not just CoH. There are several programs that do this with the font size increased. Most of them are using an API call to a function created by Microsoft. |

Don't blame the CoH programmers, blame the poor scaling on the people that wrote the API.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
Recently I've switched from a GTX 470 to two 460's in SLI, now I can't log-in anymore because I need to agree to the terms but the agree button is offscreen.
Anything I can do? already tried changing my desktop resolution...CoH always launches with an uber big resolution and I can't click the green button.
Thanks!
