I'm talking about dpi-awareness, or rather the lack of it. Your current 
i-Catcher software does not declare itself as being dpi-aware, which causes 
it to have fuzzy text on many machines. You can overcome that "fuzzy text" 
problem by adding a "dpi-aware" section to your manifest, but that would 
still leave i-Catcher with a "missing or partially missing" controls problem 
on some machines because of the fact that it is not actually dpi-aware, 
whether it declares itself to be so or not. Paradoxically, despite your 
scathing comments about VB6, a standard VB6 compiled exe is itself at least 
partially dpi-aware :-)
