    ok here's the problem, I am not sure if I am being too picky.
    I have the display settings to 120DPI and and internet exp text settings to large. Is it because of this that some site's text and images seem fuzzy like not as clear as other sites? is it because some sites are not designed for widescreen so it gets stretched?

    also for more information i have the xga with truelife and x1400.
    also do I have to install drivers for the screen I reformated according to southern girls's guide and it didn't mention it.

    Thanks for any help anyone may be able to provide.

    Right click anywhere on the open desktop, go to properties, go to to the advanced settings tab and then lower your DPI.
