Emacs on Windows does not always get the screen size right.  The
effect of this is that previews become too small or distorted.  Newer
CVS Emacsen have options for setting the screen dimensions manually.
That's why I asked for the information from `M-x preview-report-bug
RET'.  Since you haven't provided this information I cannot judge if
that's possible with your Emacs build.

You could customize `preview-scale-function' which is described in the
manual, see (info "(preview-latex)The Emacs interface").  But that
shouldn't be necessary because the font size in previews is calculated
to match the font size of the default face you are using.  Unless, of
course, Emacs cannot detect your screen dimensions properly ...
