I'm not sure if Windows ever does this on it's own, but it may have activated "Disable DPI scaling" for TOTH (you find it in properties of the game exe). This is basically the same as 100% DPI but for the game only.

Hi.
I think I have not that option in my system (windows 7, portuguese)

To add a bit more (confusion), I notice that in my system (win 7, 2560x1440, 125% scaling), the game only works with "Use Windows XP style DPI Scaling" option checked (ON). If I disable this option the display options (ie, if I try DPI virtualization), the game does not launch. This, I think, means TotH exe is not really a "DPI-scalling aware" application
Check here for some technicalities: http://www.mathies.com/weblog/?p=908)

So in fact I can only run the game full screen without real DPI scaling (which is a shame, the counters are a bit small, and without zoom...[:(])

Correct, the game is not DPI scaling aware
