I had to reinstall XP Home. I've noticed my text in the tool bar area, menu area etc. are blurred and jagged. I use Bellsouth for internet. I recently installed Browser accelerator from Bellsouth and my
browser graphics are very jagged. I've set the accelerator option to best graphics but not change.
I've also set internet tool options to disable auto image resizing. I've tried several font, etc settings
on monitor desktop settings but no better. Any ideas.
There is an option in XP (right click on the background of your desktop) and select setting. I think it is in Fonts & stuff... The option allows "smooting" of the fonts, it will deither the edges so that it is less jaggy. There also an option for LCD where the edge of the font is going to be darker...
1. Right click with your mouse an empty space on the desktop 2. Click on Properties in the next box 3. Click on Appearance on top 4. Click on Effects over towards the lower right side 5. Now click on the down arrow on the second box that you see ( Should state " Standard " ) . Select Clear Type. 6. Now click on Apply on the bottom, than click on OK in the next window that pops up. You are now done.
Need of larger Fonts :
Go back into Display Properties
1. Click on Appearance 2. Click on the Font Size in the next window in the Appearance area, and select what size fonts you want. You can change back again if you don't like it...
You can also go to Settings in Display Properties and click on Advanced. Here you will be able to change the DPI setting from 96 DPI to 120 DPI that will also enlarge the fonts
Is it only Fuzzy on this Bellsouth browser or on Internet Explorer as well ? Don't know what video card you have, but just maybe you could try one more thing and install a new version of a video card driver to see if this helps....Probably not, but worth a try. Your monitor might be getting older as well, but you did not say which one you had or how old is it. What about resetting the monitor to its default setting to see if this helps...Cannot think of much else, but if I do, I'll post it here...Let us know what monitor and video card you have and please try another browser as well to see if its the browser you are using...Good luck
