Internet Explorer 7 problem

[Gluben]

Everything seems to be fine except for one thing. All images, graphics, logos and the like appear very pixelated and out of focus. The quality was better on my older PC. I was on a Dell desktop running Windows 98 (mostly using Firefox) and I am now on a brand new Dell laptop running Windows XP Media Edition. Is there a way to improve the quality/

a print screen would be useful

Sorry, it's hard to tell there, but it's basically that pixelated when full size. I'll post another if you want me to.

Well that's useless as it's a) jpeg compressed and b) sized down.

Yeah sorry, it was from Myspace. I don't have anywhere else to post it up. Apologies if I am not knowledgable on these sorts of things, but it basically appears as you see on that uploaded picture, only with the page scaled up to full size.

I read that IE7 overrides the global windows settings for cleartype and stuff. No idea why you'd want one program to display differently to all the rest but then I have no idea why they've buggered up the GUI either. You'll find you can fix it in the IE settings (if you can find the menu buttons).

Well I've tried enabling and disabling ClearType, but nothing different. Most of the text seems fine either way, it's just logos and images, and I'm not sure which setting to change for that. For example, the text I'm typing here is fine, but the Metropol in the top right hand corner is pixelated, as are the emoticons.

Have you tried switching it off then on again?

Are you sure it's plugged in?
