having probs with new computer,all photos or pictures are heavily blurred even on home page.im not an expert anyone any ideas,what is causing it.all the words are perfectly clear.cheers alan.

Sounds like the screen resolution is set too low

Right click on the desktop click on properties then on settings and see if it is set to 32 bit if not change it and all should become clear

Right a few questions, to help us, help you...

1. Why is you thread titled Broadband connection, does this only happen when you are on the web?

2. What screen is it, a TFT (flat screen) or a CRT (big chunky one)?

3. Mac or PC?

And whilst your there, also check that it is set to 16 Million colours...

it only happens on the net,i was downloading a lot of music on linewire then experiencing problems with computer crashing, defragmented computer to try and fix it this is when all photo's became blurred, could it be doing it because the firewall thinks it is unsuitable material?

Sounds like a graphics isuue mate as already stated. Firewalls can prevent access to unsuitable websites if you wish but i've never heard of them blurring images.

If the graphics settings are ok you could try using Mozilla Firefox for browsing. It may solve your problem and it's more secure than Internet Explorer. By the way, I wouldn't mention downloading from Limewire, you never know who is reading on here.

I am guessing you have a tft as you havent answered. It's possibly down to not having the resolution set to the native resolution of the panel. for example 17" tft's normally have a naitve resolution of 1280 x 1024. This is because thats how many crystals it has (or something). This means that if you use a smaller resolution everything has to be upscaled to fit the size of the screen. This causes blurring and blending to occur making the picture less sharp. Also the refresh rate needs to be set to the native one of the panel for optimum sharpness

its a 17"tft tried fixing resolution no joy so far

Try downloading firefox, it's a very good browser and hopefully, it will solve your problems... here's a link if your interested:

Am I likely to encounter any problems installing Firefox on the same PC as IE 6.0?
