I'm having graphics troubles for the last week. Local
graphics display perfectly but when I hit a website the
graphics are terrrible... jpegs are grainy beyond
recognition, gradients look like 16 bit color (or worse)
and anything that has transparency seems reveresed.

I reinstalled my graphics drivers just in case - no change.

This is a browser only issue, but it happens in ANY
browers. including Netscape, Firefox and of course
Explorer.

I sure hope I don'thave to reinstall system software...
