larsilus,

Thank you for using Dell's Community Forum.

If your problem is with the graphics look of IE, the best thing to try is adjusting the systems’ DPI settings.

Hi everybody,

I have had the same problem with my D800 (resolution 1920x1200). Changing the DPI was not really succesfull...

I found following statement in the MS knowledge base that describes problems with high resolution monitors:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;820286&Product=winxp

They propose to add the following reg entry:

> > HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
> > UseHR= dword:00000001

This entry was still active at my laptop -> I changed the dword from 1 -> 0 -> now the graphics are shown in a propper way :)

Cheers

Thomas

Hi there,

Got the same problem with poor graphics in Internet Explorer. I tried the suggested reg entry solution and this resulted in a better quality of the graphics. However, by using this solution most webpages become so small that you can hardly read them. Can anyone help me?

Greetz, Robert.

Hello There,

I too just purchased a D800 with the SXGA and am experiencing cloudy graphics using Internet Explorer. It seems to be just the GIF's that are affected. I would appreciate any help!!

Hi,

all my Problems described above are solved now (changing DPI on 1 Notebook and changing RegistryKey as described above solved the problems). The Graphics look good now!

Thanks+Bye

Could use a bit more help...

I am familiar with the procedure to adjust the DPI, but can someone explain how to access the Registrykey so that I can try the solution given above.

Thanks Again!

I am glad you had the same problem with Explorer because Dell claims we are the first.  We have just purchased in Jan 2004 8 Dell Latitude D600's and have the bad graphics problem in Explorer.  I have talked to Dell but after many attempts at trying to resolve the issue (ie. reinstalling the graphics driver, putting a new mother board in) they claim it is what it is and are stumped.  MSN Explorer is just fine and Internet Explorer 6 is not.   How do you change the registry for explorer as suggested by Microsoft?

I made this registry fix when I got my D800 last March and have been enjoying the most amazing monitor on a laptop ever since. The post by KratelT below, or earlier, depending on how you sort your threads, shows exactly how to edit the registry.  No worries-Nike.

cheers
