windows 7 and IE8 does not show a ‘UseHR’ in the main registery, and even when adding it it did not work for me – anyone else have any ideas, or is it time to get an Apple?

Folks don’t forget about “Ctrl + middle mouse wheel” or if no mouse Ctrl and + or _ to adjust the zoom of the IE page!

Also in the status bar, above the clock you should see a Magnify Glass. If it is not at 100% this can cause the issue.

Also, by going down to 80 or 60% magnification will do the same as all the above tricks.

My wifes Acer fried itself after 2 years so we had to borrow a friends Dell… She has become used to the High DPi settings so None of these options will work for me. If I fix the pixalation, she complains the fonts are too small…

Someone told me Windows.com has a powertoy you can download to adjust font size… hope it works!

Anything under max resolution on the Dell is a complete blur. Thank you dell for charging High end for low end monitors!

I have had this problem (in IE but not in FF) for at least a year. I had searched (with the wrong keywords) and asked around (to the wrong people), but I didn’t look too hard since I use FF almost exclusively. Finally, I had a job that couldn’t use FF and had one of the auto-resized pictures covering a critical button in IE, and so I became serious in my quest. I was used to the font size with the 120 DPI setting on my 1680×1050 resolution, but the UseHR registry change worked like a charm. I don’t have fuzzy pictures in IE anymore! Yay!!

Yes, Aaron Kim, if both IE and Firefox change to pixelated images it probably was an update that was installed on your computer. Sounds like a universal setting. But if the things above didn’t work I don’t know where you should start.

Fixed my problem! I’m using Sprint’s EVDO and thought I was facing a server-side image compression issue, but it was just the DPI setting. Thanks for the tip!
