We use active desktop to put a logo, calendar and a search-able phone list on our users desktop. The phone list works by linking to another page that has the search and results boxes (and the JavaScript that does the work).

Since upgrading to IE8 we found that some users don't get the search page when clicking on the link. I noticed that it only affects users who have the display options DPI setting to something other than normal (96 DPI).

Note: If you open the active desktop page directly in the browser the link works OK, regardless of the DPI. It's only a problem when the page is used as an active desktop.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a fix or a workaround for this issue?

you ever find anything for this? I'm also looking for a way to prevent users from adjusting the DPI size - in Windows 7 there is the control panel display page "make it easier to read what's on your screen" with Smaller 100%, Medium 125% DPI Display settings. But only those settings. I want them to be able to adjust other things like screen resolution etc. – Jordan W. Jun 2 '10 at 1:01
@Jordan - No, I didn't find a solution to the issue. – Chris Jun 9 '10 at 17:30
