    battery question

    stupid joke... Anyway you can call Microsoft to ask about it or ask at the Microsoft store, but they may not have a procedure yet. Maybe in 1 year when they actually start dying out then they will have an answer. As far as I know they have not addressed that issue yet.

    Had the same problem with Wizardry Online. You can just right-click the icon, go to properties, compatibility tab, and "Disable DPI Scaling" for the individual game, so you can keep your scaling on the desktop. There is a resolution option in the game, it defaults to 1024x768 which is why you...

    Surface Pro Heat and Battery Life

    I am getting 5 hours between one note, IE, and streaming playback. The only time I've ever had the fan come on (or at least noticed it) was running a game at full res. Other than that I don't think they've activated. The tablet gets warm but has never gotten hot. If you are concerned about...

    Stylus for Surface Pro - Calibration

    I have been messing around with the calibration and have a few tips: 1. Go into the calibration tool and reset the pen calibration if you have already adjusted it. 2. Start the calibration. The first time you calibrate, there is a more detailed (16-point) "major" calibration. For this part...
