VP 12 window opens small in Win8.1 64bit

VP 12 is still opening weirdly in Win 8.1 64bit on my Toshiba 1920x1080 laptop.

The splash screen opens at regular size, then moments later, it shrinks as if the screen resolution changed, then the Vegas workspace opens, but it's all fouled up with odd windows in various places and about 75% of the size it should be. I click the enlarge-to-full-screen button in the upper right and the undersized Vegas windows centers itself. I have to click it again to get it to fill the screen.

But even after forcing it to full screen the fonts are tiny and distorted.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled and CTRL-SHIFT-launched to clear parameters, all to no avail.

I've messed with changing screen resolutions. No matter the resolution it opens less than full screen.

I've adjusted font sizes in the control panel.

It once worked fine. Now it doesn't. Very frustrating,

Have you tried right clicking on the vegas120.exe file, choose properties/compatibility and then check the box that says "disable display scaling on high dpi settings"?

Yes that fixes it. I also had the same issue.
Thankyou.
