Re: Blurred fonts on LCD monitor

Apparently, MS pushed out a Intel video driver
update recently that broke things.

Dell Dimension, 1901FP monitor and Intel 82865G integrated controller.
When opening apps this morning most fonts appeared in italics.
i.e go to IE, all fonts are italics.
Changed the theme in Display and italics disappeared and fonts became
normal, but out of focus.
Now any bolded font is very grainy, and in fact all fonts are blurry.
Switched monitors, reloaded both display and controller drivers - no
difference.
Do I go out and buy an external Video controller? If yes, any ideas as
what's good for normal office use, minimal games, but because I develop
applications on the PC I need top quality visual appearance.
TIA
