Widescreen vs regular

Well if you turn UseHR off, the fixed size fonts used by certain websites (like www.cnn.com ) won't be scaled up and they may appear too small for one's liking. Also, IIRC, the relative fonts used by some websites (like www.washingtonpost.com ) won't be effected and will remain large, and thus text will appear disproportionally large wrt images. Perhaps that is what you meant when you said "left the text bad"? Try to be more specific when you are describing these things.

He tried the tweak to the registry. It cleared up the graphics but left the text bad. When he tried to fix the text, he decided to get rid of the tweak. He scaled down to 96 dpi and scaled down from 1600 to 1200 on his resolution and the graphics are really nice, but he says the text looks "softened", but it's still better. He's just peeed that he cannot use something that he paid more money for at it's native resolution without having to downscale.
