I don't think 2.0 would be any better than 3.1 in this respect, and
you probably will have problems..  Have you tried changing the
mswin_scale value in the Settings window?  This is kind of a catch-22
I know; you can type something like this in the terminal window:

leabra++> print taMisc::mswin_scale
(c_float) mswin_scale --> 0.85
leabra++> taMisc::mswin_scale = .75;
leabra++> print taMisc::mswin_scale
(c_float) mswin_scale --> 0.75

leabra++> taMisc::SaveConfig();

this will only take effect when you restart the program.  I think
smaller #'s = smaller windows.  If this makes your eyes hurt, perhaps
it is time to invest in a higher res monitor?  I always use 1600x1200
for this reason.
