C:\Program Files (x86)\Video Surgeon 2\, find the VideoSurgeon.exe file and right click and select Properties.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Song Surgeon 5\, find the SongSurgeon5.exe file and right click and select Properties.

2. Go to the Compatibility Tab.
3. Toward bottom, find and click button that says Change High DPI settings.
4. Once this is opened, toward the bottom check the box that says "Override high DPI Scaling...."
and then in the dropdown box below it, select System.
