I have an old Windows program that runs in W7 with a patch OK, but will only fill the screen in 640x480 with a non-resizable window. Changing the DPI settings in Windows made the window a lot better size, but I have to log off every time I change the DPI settings. Is there a way to change the DPI temporarily or just when a certain program is run?
Why not just lower the resolution before starting the program, and then re-set it when you're done? That doesn't require a restart/log-off/whatever. You could also set "run in 640x480 screen resolution" as a compatibility option.
I hate the horrible scaling it introduces.

What is "it" in this sentence?
Changing res on an LCD.
Ah. Yes that makes sense. Do you have a newer-ish graphics card that supports GPU-based scaling that you could enable?
I do but it still looks bad, any way to change the DPI per application please?
See if this works. If so, you can do it via a batch.

Other than that, perhaps the screen magnifier?
