D610 SXGA+ font problem

I have reinstalled winXP on my D610 and now fonts seem more difficult to read. I have 1400x1050 resolution like before and tried 120DPI fonts with no success. What is the proper configuration?
Before, fonts seemed to be more bold.
Thanks.

    Go HERE

    Install your Chipsets (all three of them) first, (needed to insure success with other Dell installs, operation of
    your PCMCIA etc., etc.,) then Dell QuickSet which has the 'icon'/'font' utility as well as other features
    (like a lot of your Fn functions).

    System and Configuration Utilities

    Dell Client Configuration
    Dell Internet Explorer Scaling Utility>>>>>>>>>>>>This may also be needed (for IE Font Scaling)
    Dell Notebook System Software >>>I have better results with the (50MB) previous version of this one.*

    You should also install some others as well, like "Input Device..." for ALPS TTouchPad/Stick Console, etc..

    Should reboot between each install.

    *Click "Other Versions" and use this; Dell Notebook System Software, v.3.11.0, A18 Release Date: 11/6/2005

    I installed everything and still have very thin fonts.
    What should make them bold?

    I prefer the "normal" 96 dpi, must reboot to take effect.

    Some of the tabs left of 'Settings' also have 'font' choices.
