To check the graphics driver click the System icon in Control Panel, Hardware tab, then the Device Manager box.

Click on Display Adapters then the drivers tab. Note dates and version then go to the manufacturer's website to see if their date on the newest driver for that model is more recent than yours. If the dates are more recent then download the new driver. Also do this with your monitor if the dates are the same then there's nothing more to do.

Or cataracts?

Aside from all the "are you logged in?" and "too much eggnog?" jokes, it sounds like somehow your ClearType got turned off.

Try this: Open Windows Help, type "ClearType" and click on ClearType Frequently Asked Questions. Then from that page, click on "Go to the Microsoft typography website, and then follow the instructions for tuning ClearType."

Then follow the directions on the Microsoft webpage, and fine tune your ClearType settings.

Hope this helps. If not, then beg, borrow, or steal another monitor, and try to isolate the problem between your graphics card or the monitor. Once you do, then replace the bad component. ($$$)

Have you tried cycling the power a few times?

There is an adjustment, but it is deep inside on an LCD, and it is more likely a capacitor going bad.

I've been through cataracts ~ but yeah, I suppose if you started having the problem in just one eye ~ .........

Time to see an eye doctor.

Ok, thanks. That didn't work. I'll try the graphics driver and card check now.

Or just click on the Update Driver button and allow it to search for an updated driver. More than likely it will return a message saying that there is no driver more recent than the one you are already using.
