Default IE 7

It runs great and it's fast... I love the new smaller top menu... and I love the tabbed browsing...

But eveyrthing is blurry... Font and pics, but it mostly shows up on font... Is it just like this and I have to go back to IE 6 or is there a fix... I've tried basic font settings and it doesn't help...

Seems when I print screen, it kinda fixes it... It's much worse than the pics show..

Try using Firefox, or Aol Browser. The aol browser is like IE and Firefox stuck together in one browser. I use it, it doesnt have any aol adware or anything like that. Just cuz it says aol, i thought it was going to be a p>o>s but its actually damn good, and pretty fast. and has TONS of options.

I have AOL Explorer but it's being slow compared to IE...

Firefox tends to freeze up on certain sites and was having errors with favorites... and many other things... I really hate Firefox...

I've found that IE 7, besides the fact that the fonts are blurred... is faster, more responsive and has more useful features than AOL Explorer or Firefox... It has all the features that AOL Explorer and Firefox have, with more, but runs faster...

I'll go back to AOL Explorer if I have to... I just wanna see if there is a way around this blurred font...

For starters, IE7 is still not finished....your using an RC1 version. I know, because I have Windows Vista RC1 loaded at work. It's the same version.

Wait until its completed before you start worrying about making modifications to the settings as some of those settings may not even be completed just yet.

Also, to adjust font sizes, open up your display settings by right clicking on the desktop and choosing properties. Go under Appearance and you can click the advanced tab located in the bottom right corner. It will allow you to adjust the fonts in any windows/icons/menus etc .

Hope this helps.

hold down "control" and use your "scroll wheel" on your mouse to change the font size. Easiest way to do it.

Control + Scroll Wheel = Font size change

Well, I've been running IE 7 since about late February. Haven't really had any problems.
Only things I've noticed is Mypay (its where military people go to see our pay stubs, print out our W-2s and stuff) doesn't seem to recognize it as a current browser, and at Chevy.com, the bowtie symbol on the top left side of the page covers up the "Chevy Vehicles" and "Cars" part (which it doesn't do on Firefox). But, its only Chevy, who cares?
I've run IE7 Beta 2, Beta 3, and just installed RC 1 today. No problems.

Hurray!!! SOmething i will have to download that will only give me headache and virus'!!!
Lol. I've gotten more viruses from p2p networks in the last month (and I hardly use p2p anymore) than I've ever gotten with IE.
I never have fallen into the Firefox/alternative browser craze, and, when I tried Firefox, I was like, eh... whatever.

DevilsReject, you liken Vista RC1? I was able to download Vista Beta 2 a few months ago when they offered it, and they said those that were able to download Beta 2 were sent an email to get RC1 (which I must have deleted the email by accident). I wasn't too huge a fan of the new Vista layout... too much of a change for me, but, than again, I didn't like XP when it first came out either (now I look at '98 and want to hurl).

That just zooms... It's IE 7 itself that is blurry...
