when using Presenter 11 with Powerpoint 2013, the dialog boxes are so small, they're unreadable

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 4, with a Windows 10 operating system.  I'm working in PowerPoint 2013 - the dialog boxes that pop-up are SO small that the text is barely readable.  The size of the PowerPoint slide I'm viewing is fine -- it's only the dialog boxes that are minuscule.  Is there some setting I can change to make the dialog box size (and text) larger?  I don't need to make everything larger -- just the dialog boxes and the text inside them.

I already checked with Microsoft -- and since it just seems to be a problem with Adobe, they said its not their issue.   http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2013_release-powerpoint/dialog-boxes-are-too-...

This also happened when using Microsoft Edge while I was in contact with Adobe support.  See all attached screen shots.  So -- it seems like an issue with Adobe products, not just with Presenter & Powerpoint.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This has come up for using Adobe Connect (and other Adobe products) as well. I believe you can solve this problem as described here: http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/

Thank you for the reply.  I tried this, but couldn't get it to work.  I've left a comment on the post you forwarded to me.  Hopefully someone can help me resolve it.

Great, let us know if you get it to work.

You may need to create the manifest file to mach the dll file for Presenter. It can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Presenter 11\MenuLauncher.dll.

Thanks.

Since there isn't an exe file for Presenter, that is what I would test first.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried it, but it didn't work either.  I'm going to go through all of the steps again from the beginning and make sure I've done it all right.
