    I tried to increase the DPI of the logon screen on my Win8 system. It has been messed up. It's too big to see anything. I can't recall how I did that so can't revert it. I've googled around and checked the tricks, but nothing works. I searched the registry and set all the LogPixels values to 96 DPI, but still no go. Any idea how to "reset" this?

    This depends on the model of Macbook Pro (i.e. the screen size - 13.3", 15.4" or 17") you purchased, but the resolution and DPI (or PPI), for the 2009 unibody models, is provided by Wikipedia (here and here).

    However, given the resolution and display size, you can easily calculate the PPI. In summary:

    MacBook Pro 13.3":  1440x900 (127.68 PPI)
MacBook Pro 15.4":  1440x900 (110.27 PPI)
MacBook Pro 15.4":  1680x1050 (128 PPI)
MacBook Pro 17":    1920x1200 (133.19 PPI)

    Open the Apple menu at the very top-left of the screen and click on About This Mac. Click on the More Info button, which will open up a window with lots of categories of information. The Graphics/Displays category will tell you your screen resolution.

    Or to view and change the resolution: Open the Apple menu at the very top-left of the screen and click on System Preferences..., then Displays. This will show a list of available resolutions with the current one highlighted.
