3ds Max 2014, Mac OS X and Windows 8.1 - Fonts are to small

[be.hummel]

 
 
Hi, 
 
recently I installed 3ds Max 2014 (Education License) on my Mac Book Pro Retina (Mac OS X) with Paralells and Windows 8.1 (I think it is only the Preview 8.1 Version). 
After successfull installation, the palettes and toolbars right and down are with very small fonts. So it is very difficult to see some options etc. 
I have to say I want to learn 3ds Max in next time, so I'm a really beginner.. I saw some tutorials and there it looks quite different ..  
 
I've tried to increase the font size with windows options like "Optimize Visual Display and Fonts" with this support site but it solved not my problem: http://docs.autodesk.com/3DSMAX/16/ENU/3ds-Max-Help/index.html?url=files/GUID-0CAA47B5-6FDA-4402-8E3... . Also there is only Windows XP through Windows 7, and not Windows 8.1 or 8. 
 
Is it just the problem with Windows 8.1 or can i fix the problem with 3ds Max options?
 
I hope you can help me as soon as possible and thanks for help in advance!

Here's a tip to change fonts in Windows 8.1: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/make-text-screen-larger-smaller/?v=t

Have you tried that?

You're not alone with this issue. Here's my post about small fonts and other UI flaws of 3ds Max 2015. Also this corresponds not only to Windows 8/8.1 but to latest Windows 7 SP1 as well.

Yes I've already tried, but it does not change the look of the menus and toolbars. But thanks for the help:)
