Screen Resolution Issue?

Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit) screen resolution seems to be off. Everything is so tiny, I cannot see anything at all. I can change the font size and zoom the score, but the palettes are so tiny I cannot use them. Notation also doesn't actually work. I noticed that someone posted about messing with the Windows resolution and changing the executable, but come on! I don't know know what that means and I shouldn't have to do that. I tried it and couldn't get it to work; told me the command line wasn't valid.
