Quicken, OpenOffice, Adobe "fuzzy?"
That's the problem I had on my new Asus K60IJ computer. As I make my so-called living as a freelance writer/editor, I NEED OpenOffice, Adobe PDF and Quicken. But they came up "soft and fuzzy" on all text.
I nearly went crazy - nobody could solve it, and I was ready to take the computer back. SIGH.
Then a nice chap Online sent me some links - and I "accidentally" solved the problem! IF YOU'VE GOT THE SAME PROBLEM - - - -try this. Worked for me!
R-click on COMPUTER.
L-click on PROPERTIES
L-click on Advanced System Settings
L-click on Advanced menu
L-click on SETTINGS in the PERFORMANCE box.
Clear ALL boxes except for the following:
Smooth edges of screen fonts.
Smooth-scroll list boxes.
Use visual styles on windows and buttons.
CLICK ON "APPLY" THEN "OK" and get out of all frames.
Re-boot if you like, but you don't have to.
If you wish, leave the shadows under the mouse - but BE SURE
that the box "Enable desktop composition" is UN-CHECKED.
When I did that, all my programs appeared nice and sharp, as if by magic!
Probably saved my marriage - - -and sanity.
