Windows 7: 1024x768 blur screen

Using 1024x768 resolution will look weird because the native resolution of your monitor is 1280 x 1024. So you should be using that resolution just like AddRAM suggested.

Yes. But the blur problem was not there before I change OS and motherboard. My OS was XP and Mother board was Intel. Processor is still Intel but motherboard is Digi-Light.

I believe there's no problem that you changed your MoBo or OS. My monitor here my office has the same resolution like yours 1280x1024 and i changed it to 1280 x 768 after applying the changes it really looks weird.

Have you changed the resolution to see if it looks ok ? Posting replies will not help.

Change it and let us know if it is better.

Just notice guys the OP has switched to 7, with inferior hardware, should go back to XP.

I was busy editing my other reply.

NO.

I used 1024x768 for square monitor. and it was not blur.

but after changing mother board and OS it started looking blur with same resolution. That's the problem.

I never used 1280x768 because it is not suitable for square monitors.

I went looking for the minimum 7 requirements, and apparently 7 only requires a 1 Gigahertz processor and 1 gig of RAM? [What you talkin bout Willis?]

Aero itself requires 128 meg video card with Direct-X 9.0 compatibility and I could see that causing video wierdness if it was not shut off by a Windows 7 install automatically if it wasn't capable? No idea though, I haven't had a non Direct-X 9 computer in 12 years?

YIKES to functioning with that little power!

On the plus side that tidbit of knowledge is now beat into my brain for upcoming exam, tyvm.
