Image quality is poor

[Guest]

I have a new computer that is using Internet Explorer 6.0 and many of the
images on the web pages are poor quality (e.g. the Microsoft Windows image in
the upper left corner of the webpage for this discussion group). They are
fuzzy, seem to have a shadow, and jagged instead of smooth lines. How do I
improve this?

Hi,

I'm not sure if this will directly help your problem (it may be due to
hardware errors), however, consider the following:

Close all internet Explorer sessions.
Spawn a single session and,
Click on Tools, Internet Options.
Click on the Advanced Tab.
Scroll down to 'Multimedia',
and UNCHECK the following:

'Enable Automatic Image Resizing'
'Smart Image Dithering'

Click on OK.

Does this help the problem?

If you have any other questions or comments, please reply to this thread,

Best regards,
Altrus

Thanks for the advice, but this didn't change anything I could see.

Hi,

Have you tried updating your video drivers?

Hi,
Is your ISP compressing images to reduce download time? Earthlink, AOL,
Netzero (and some others) offer this feature. You should be able to disable
this feature. Check the "Help" page of your ISP.

Other possibilities:

Same problem- good discussion of the problem.

If you have Zone Alarm, Uncheck "remove private headers" for all
sites.


or.....................

Try clearing the IE cache. I.E./Tools/Options/General/Delete files (and
delete offline content.)

Hope this helps

Done all of the recommended suggestions..Still no joy..Current PC is running
XP Pro with SP2 and all current updates..
I have another PC (work) that is running Win 2K with all updates & the
problem does not exist on it..I share the same
keybaord/mouse/monitor between them..

Any other suggestions/solutions..Would like to see this resolved..

Thanks, Bobbyjak

The only other thing I can think of is to check for new video drivers.
