For some websites i visited, i can't read their font. it becomes so small and blurry.
for example, if i go to hotmail.com. I just relied on my intuition when typing my email address because i do not see what i'm writing. its way too small and blurry.
Any ideas. thanks

Do you have your DPI setting set to something other then Normal Size? I have this sort of problem when I use Large Size.

Also make sure that your screen refresh rate is properly set to your monitor specs.

regular monitors need to be set between 65 and 75 while LCD need higher refresh rates of 75 to 85

Well i checked my DPI settings and were at the normal size. Then, I checked my text size and no wonder it was set at the smallest size. I set it up at Medium size and now everything works perfect.
thanks a lot.
