    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.

    I encountered the same problem and checked the above opptions (the ones in performance potions/visual effects tab) one by one. Just turnninf off the "Enable desktop decommposition" solves the problem
