When viewing this webpage: http://www.airservicesaustralia.com/brief on my Win XP Pro system, the text within the webpage is displayed as if it were overlapping itself on parts of the page. See what I see at: http://members.optus.net/ebaldry/index.htm
This weird format only occurs on my system. The page appears normal on other systems (both XP Pro and Win2K systems tested).
Both IE 6.028 and Mozilla 1.4 display this page the same way. I have tried changing resolution and upgrading Radeon drivers, with no changes. It is only this (and one other) webpage that is affected. All other webpages appear normal on my system.My system config is: P4 2.6H, 1GB Corsair RAM, Asus P4C800 mobo, Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB, Audigy 2, Twin monitor setup.
I would not ordinarily worry about this, but I actually need this website for aviation purposes (weather, briefings etc...) so it's important to be able to view it correctly.Suggestions or comments appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan.

It appears I've solved my own problem.
In this case it seems that changing the DPI setting on the Advanced/General page of the Display Properties to anything higher than the "Normal" (96 DPI) affects the formatting of some webpages. Not all mind you, just some. I certainly welcome an explanation as to why. It's understandable; I just want to know why some webpages are affected, and the majority are not.
Thank you,
Dan.
