Zuma Deluxe

A fix for resolution problems in Win10 1803 (new DPI Scaling options in WIndows)
Problem: the game is in full-screen mode, but Zuma's launch screen is off-center, preventing the "Click To Play Button" from being clicked.

Cause on the particular laptop I diagnosed: Native resolution is 1920x1080, and DPI scaling in Windows is set to 150% (or some other value) instead of the Windows 10 default of 125%. This setting can be found at:
Settings > System > Display > Advanced Scaling settings > "Enter a custom scaling setting size between 100% and 500%"

Solution: Set DPI scaling in Windows back to 125% instead of 150% (or whatever other value was there). Reboot or log out and back in. You will now be able to get past Zuma's launch screen and into the options to turn Full Screen off or on as you wish.

New problem: user of the laptop wants 150% DPI scaling and a working full screen Zuma Deluxe.

Solution:
1. While Windows DPI Scaling is still set to 125%, launch Zuma Deluxe from Steam.
2. Alt-Tab to shift focus back to Windows.
3. Right-click the Zuma Deluxe icon in the Windows task bar, select popcapgame1.exe and right-lcick it, select Properties.
4. Select the Compatibilities tab.
5. Ignore all the other stuff and click the "Change High DPI Settings" button. This is new as of Windows 10 1803 (April 2018).
6. Ignore all of the other options and turn on (put a checkmark in the box for) "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by" and in the pull-down menu just below that, choose "Application".
7. Click Ok and then Apply and close the window. Now go back and change DPI Scaling in Windows to 150% or whatever value you prefer, then reboot or log out and back in.
