Re: All icons are blurred in windows 2000

Good luck with a "repair install," assuming you mean a W2K CD repair
install.
I'd wait before trying that, since you'll probably have massive Win
Updates, and other updates.

If the only problem is blurred icons, wait and look for more solutions.
I assume you've checked Display Props> Visual effects>, as well as >
Appearance>.

I haven't seen a problem like this before. I suspect that something
in
the OS specific to icons has gotten corrupted. A repair install might be
the
only practical way of fixing it.

Only icons are blurred.

Rest of the things are fine

Any procedure to play with the windows to get back the icons to
original
state?

None of the above worked.

I am able to see images at perfect resolution but every icon in
my
OS
has
become awkward.

Open Device Manager, navigate to the display adapter, then
r-click
it and
pick properties, then driver, and then pick "Rollback". (See
Device
Manager in Windows Help and Support)

Or perhaps you have altered your display refresh settings?
