AOL Desktop 9.7 and Windows 8.1

I have recently switched my AOL Desktop Service to a new PC with a Windows 8.1 operating system. The AOL Mailbox now is only a small window on about 1/4 of the screen and the font is tiny. AOL says that this is a problem they have with Windows 8.1 and their only suggestion is to change the screen resolution. That has no effect. They tell me that AOL is working on a fix for this. Has anyone else had this problem. Any suggestions?
