Thanks for your help, Keith.
Display properties come up as TrueColor32. I'll try to include a couple of bits
that may help diagnose or eliminate things.
I first noticed this a couple of months ago, but oddly. A few sites seemed to have
clear text but some pixelated pictures, i.e., at MSN, the photo to the left would
be pixed, but the ad photo to the right was crisp. Many other sites were fine.
Over the last week, more pictures online appear pixed, but a few are still clear,
especially on older sites.
When I pull up saved photos on the computer, they are displayed crisp and clear.
Every graphic completely internal to the computer seems fine. The problem is likely
to be in my computer rather than the browser itself, but I don't know what to look
for.
Any more things I should be checking for on my own system? Any advice welcome.
I have been happily running Firefox 1.5.0.8, and if it is a browser problem, I will
holler for help there. But I needed to do more eliminating on my own system first........
Thanks!
