You likely are not using "
Clear Type Fonts" as yet.... Micro$oft gives us a little program we can use to adjust or tune the
Clear Type Fonts to our own liking.....
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/step1.aspx..... That link will take you to the
Clear Type page where you put a check mark in the little box to turn on
Clear Type... then by clicking the Next button, away you go adjusting the type appearance so that it is the clearest and most enjoyable to you and your eyes.......
Especially on a laptop, using and setting "Clear Type" is really quite a necessity for your enjoyment........ Have fun and enjoy the new appearance of the fonts on your desktop display........ BT
