It's becoming a real pain so any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have tried to revert to Classic style and switched wherever I could to my beloved crispy clear Tahoma, the one I love on XP, instead of the blurry Segoe UI font. I ended up with a hybrid system as Microsoft has hardcoded Segoe UI in so many forms and dialogs that in fact the Vista box now looks even worse. Thumbs down. And this silly behaviour is also present in Windows 7. Bleah. I already wear glasses but the ’soft’ look of Vista (not to mention Office 2007) really drives me nuts.

It makes everything absolutely blurry and hard to read. I've seen Cleartype on many LCDs and it always looks horrible. Without Cleartype, text is much more clear and easy to read.
