This works for me.  Create a text file with the XML code below.  Name it "CharacterCreator.exe.manifest" without quotes.  Put it in the folder that has "CharacterCreator.exe".  Renaming accordingly it works with Character Creator 1.52 or 2.0,  iClone 6.53 or 7, or  3DXchange 6.52, and  popVideo 3.01, but NOT CrazyTalk 8.1 and NOT CrazyTalk Animator 3.1 for some reason.  Good luck.

Added Kelleytoons' Registry edit:

You need to tell Windows to prioritize external manifest files. This is done by adding a key to the Windows Registry:
1. Tap on the Windows-key, type regedit.exe and hit enter.
2. Confirm the UAC prompt.
3. Use the sidebar hierarchy to go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide
4. Right-click on SideBySide and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.
5. Name it PreferExternalManifest.
6. Double-click the newly created Dword and set its value to 1.
7. Exit the Registry Editor and reboot your system.

XML Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

Thank you very much. I nolonger have eye strain using iClone and 3dXchange.

Sigh -- yet ANOTHER duplicate post.  Okay, I definitely need to get another mouse for this computer (I fixed my desktop).

Kelleytoons, I went back and added your registry edit to my original post for those having this same problem in the future, and thus having the whole solution in one spot.  Teamwork :D

Okay, that did work, and I'm a happy camper (not exactly happy it was so complicated, but thanks to JimmyB7 (I never even realized this was an option -- it actually solves another issue I'm having with my 2D animation program.  So -- THANKS!)

But one more complaint, RL (and a bit of a snark at Animagic -- I love you, man, but sometimes you are wrong :>).  The UI is NOT consistent among programs, even those that should be.  Just look at where the tabs go in CC versus iClone and you'll see.  If they are truly going to use the excuse that they want to use QT to be consistent, then they ought to BE consistent.

Oh, and Animagic -- if this manifest edit thingee DOES solve the problem (just about to try it but I'm in the middle of a few things) then both you and I were wrong: it's not a question of whether RL should have used QT or not, but rather that they misled Windows by telling it they were handling DPI issues when they clearly are not (all the articles about this say that the "fix" is for the software NOT to say they are handling scaling properly, and then Windows will take over -- that's what the manifest trick does and is not needed when the software authors behave correctly).

The good news is that it's an EASY fix for RL (nothing more than a single line of code that basically says "Hey, we don't know what we're doing... at least when it comes to displaying this on anything other than the one machine we're testing this on" :>).

Ah I think I found the answer - the other thing you have to do is edit the registry to use external manifest files. I'll do this tomorrow and hopefully that will solve this.

Sorry Kelleytoons, I forgot about the registry edit required.  That was the jury-rig I had to do after the Windows 10 upgrade.  Can you provide the registry entry? I don't seem to be able to find it now.  It involves a Google search every time.  Good luck.

Well that would make SOME sense if the UI was shared but since the two that are a problem that DO have a similar UI have never been available on anything but Windows that's just insane to use anything but the Windows API.

I disagree, as a common platform across applications does have an advantage even within the same OS. RL felt that with iClone 5 the end of the road was reached as far as the UI went and that it was time for something different, based on their experience with QT in other applications. I don't believe it is very productive for us to speculate about RL's decisions in absolute terms, like "insane". I know you have long-time experience in software development, but so do I, and I can see the reasoning behind's RL thinking.
