Look the Video and Fonts on Windows 7 are Blurry even with my Glasses on!
Even on the U TUBE display videos and other Reviews the Fonts are very blurry!
I will just sit on the sidelines until they fix all of this crap!
You looking at hours to change over to a new OS system and hours to change back (if you can) if it does not work.
Window 7 Beta has been out for almost a year and they have not worked the
bugs out of it?
The only ones defending this crap are probably the geeks who created it?
I can live with the small stuff but Video display is Major!

To get rid of this problem just go to the Nvidia control panel, then choose “Adjust desktop color settings” from left hand side and then reduce the Image sharpening from right hand side, that’s it.

Thank you very much!

My theme suddenly changed for no reason, maybe beacause of Windows Update.

Hi, Looking for help as I’m slowly been driven crazy with this problem….the fonts on my Vista laptop are huge, meaning that I’ve to scroll every which way to view webpages, emails etc. Even the icons on the desktop are huge. It’s becoming a real pain so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Karen

I already wear glasses but the ’soft’ look of Vista (not to mention Office 2007) really drives me nuts. 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.

How anybody could think Cleartype makes text look better is beyond me. 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.
