This is Cleartype doing "sub pixel hinting" with crappy nVidia drivers. I've had this problem with several different versions of the nVidia drivers. It's quite annoying. What really ticks me off is that there is no way to disable the sub pixel hinting without disabling Cleartype completely.

How the Candidates Stand on Technology
Someone in this group posted about the Clear Type online tweak/tuning site. It's really neat that you can quickly tune your Clear Type settings online, to meet YOUR needs. I don't see the ability to TUNE the Clear Type settings, using WindowsXP itself, only enabling it or disabling it in Display

If the problem is because of the text mismatching (when looking at the bitmaps), you could try disabling ClearType in settings->screen->ClearType to see if that makes a difference. Starting with Windows CE 5.0, and Windows Mobile 5.0 the display driver doesn't need to intercept the AAF0 ROP for text, GPE handles it

Has anyone else experienced such troubles? The resolution and refresh rate are set to the same settings I have in XP so those are not at issue (I have tried lower and even higher settings to see if they make a difference). And I have already tried disabling ClearType, which is something I never cared for anyways.

Thanks for the replies! Did you set your video card at the monitor's *native* resolution? Any other resolution requires interpolation which degrades sharpness. Did you try disabling ClearType?

Is it possible that it's related to ClearType? The IE blog describes a similar wierdness that they supposedly fixed in IE7 by disabling ClearType if a transform was being applied. http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/08/31/730887.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/03/03/543181.aspx

Disabling ClearType
Get the point =P It's one thing to change the look and feel of a new product by disabling a feature by default. It's another not to let the user choose if he or lastly (at least for now =P ), turning off ClearType by default would be a smart move, since the majority of the end users probably won't be using it.

Disabling clear type is another option but be prepared for fonts to look "washed out" if you go this route.

can't turn off cleartype
The only way to get it to work properly again is disabling font smoothing (Standard or ClearType, which both show the same behavior), but I don't consider that an acceptable solution. Another likely cause -- besides WinXP -- is my video card. At the same time I switched operating systems I replaced my old Matrox
