web pictures/images are blotchy

The images on webpages have suddenly become not as picture clear as they were. They look jagged and blotchy as if they were made with a low-resolution camera.I did install a web-accelerator form my IP,but I have no idea if this the problem; the IP says not.

Also, one game, Age of  Empires Rise of Rome,  developed  occassional video problems, with the same jagged textures..But this happened before the web-acclerator was installed.

My video card is an nvidia mx420 with tv out (64mb)

Any ideas to help me out?   Thanks

Hello:

Did you ever figure out the blotchy web images because I'm having the very same problem?

Please let me know,

Thanks,
