The text on my PC has started looking odd. It's happened on two PC's. I'm assuming it's something to do with an update that happened a few weeks ago. Does anyone know what's happened & what the fix is ?

TIA, Dave.

First, press the auto-adjust on the monitor if you have one.

If that doesn't fix it, run through the Cleartype wizard.

Internet Explorer? Windows 8? Same thing has happened to me but it seems to vary depending on whether I'm using a public wifi network or at home.

It's not a monitor (not least because Dave has posted a screenshot of the problem!) / ClearType issue, instead, it's as if the computer is refusing to display proportionally sized fonts anymore.

Looks a bit like [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/pc-people-is-my-graphics-card-dying ]what happened to mine[/url]. Not sure how it got sorted but doesn't happen any more

OK, looks like I'm sorted thanks to Cougar. The monitor auto set-up is grayed out but the download of the Windows Cleartype Wizard has sorted this.

Many thanks. Dave.

Sorry, you're absolutely right, I'm a plum. That was a pre-coffee answer.
