I'm using a new imac 5k and am finding it quite frustrating with VM. The

and Connect Text is one of them. The only way I can get CT in some
semblance of usage is by moving the VM on my old 23 inch DP screen
through the thunderbolt connection. Then turn of the retina setting and
it displays fine. Far form ideal though.

Is anyone else finding this problem with retina screens and Windows
apps?

Could disabling the CT toolbar help? Everything else is text, so in theory, it should be usable, unless this issue affects text as well.

While we're on the topic of virtual machines and vintage software (like GrandView), I discovered an operating system called FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/ exists. I haven't tried it yet, but this might be a better way of running things like GrandView, Agenda, WordStar or what have you than using emulators like DosBox.
