Make sure ClearType is the same for recording and playback  (a real problem if the playback machine is a different machine than the one you recorded on).

 

(Note: Image comparison should be a last resort because there are too many things that can go wrong)

 

How to set ClearType on Windows 7:

  • Right-click in desktop
  • Personalize
  • In bottom/Left, Display
  • In Top/Left, Adjust ClearType text

 

On Windows 10:

  • Right-click in desktop
  • Personalize
  • In Top/Left, Find a Setting Box”, type literally, “Adjust ClearType”, but no quotes.

 

If you are VM'ng, the "Font Smoothing" on the "Experience" tab shown below in attached rdp.png  is what turns on "ClearType".
