If you have Windows XP, you need to turn on Cleartype. Display Properties > Appereance > Effects > check box that says "use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" and in the dropdown hit Cleartype. i also suggest you use the cleartype tuner available here.

I understand if you don't like cleartype at first because it's blurry, but just wait a while. Leave it like that overnight and look at it with fresh eyes in the morning, your PC will look great.

ClearType is what you need my friend.

#370318

have you tried turning on cleartype? :P

#370321

Hey, I dunno if anyone has mentioned it, but I think ClearType might help :P

#370334

Sorry no one is helping out. If I were you, I'd try switching to cleartype fonts.

#370365

No need to flame him guys all he wants is an answer. Try turning on ClearType.

:D

Why the hell are all of you telling him the same thing -- here, I'll be different. Try Greyscale Font Smoothing to make your fonts the closet to OSX's fonts. :)

I believe you'll be wanting a Macintosh. Check apple.com, or follow the suggestions given above. You'd probably have even more luck if you placed your thread in the right forum.

Okay, because of some virus which is not on the computer, there is no apperance tab. Is there a reg tweak for it?

I'll check that.

Hey, I think I found it.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Control Panel>Display>FontSmoothing. What do I change the value to?

In my opionion the "ClearType Tuner"-Powertoy from here might be helping you in a better way.

-2 in "cool points" for osxdude :P.

1 point is from spelling weird incorrectly (how come I didn't catch that?!)

-1 point for double posting

Here are the Board Rules, I suggest you read them ;).

because of some virus which is not on the computer

How can a virus not be on a computer and still affect it? Viruses spread over networks still install themselves on the host computer, to my knowledge...

P.S: Just kidding about the cool points, but seriously, double-posting is against the rules.

#370417

No one has mentioned cleartype! :P How could you miss that?

#370442

FFS people... do you not know anything? This poor user that you're harassing simply needs to turn on Cleartype.

#370446

About the virus thing: Um, it did what it wanted to do, then deleted itself, making everything the virus changed permanent.

And I asked for a reg tweak!!!!!!

#370660

Just reformat, don't deal with viruses.

#370662

Neal, I'm downloading it now.

Reg tweakers! Pls send tweaks!!!!

And how to reformat?

Oh and this computer I'm using is my dad's.

#370665

CLEAR TYPE IS NOW ON-Close thread, please.

#370666

Oh wow, just look at how much cleartype replies there are here, and you finally try it.

#370703

Well, I didn't repond for a while.

#370706

Indeed...

Now where did Mr. Loco wander off to?
