i can see clearly now

When you read text on your computer monitor, do the fonts seem . . . grainy? Do the edges of the letters appear ragged? Especially italicized text?

Try this:
Click the "Start" button (on the task bar at the bottom left of your screen).
Hover over "Settings" and click "Control Panel"
Double Click "Display"
Click the "Appearance" Tab (the fourth tabbed page)
Click "Effects . . . " (at the bottom right of the menu)

Under the second check mark, labeled: “Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:” Click the drop down arrow and select “ClearType” instead of "Standard"

Click "OK" (NOT cancel or the red "X" in the top right corner)
Click "Apply" (at the bottom right of the menu)

beautiful!
