I reset the screen resolution to 1280 x 1024. I'm overwhelmed by the
difference. It will take some getting used to. Icons and text are so small,
etc.
To my disappointment, I still find text in Word docs becomes distorted when
I scroll through pages fast. Lines are repeated.
I'm about convinced that my Nvidia Ge Force FX 5200 is just not adequate.
What else could it be?
