the clarity seems to have changed for the worse. my ad pictures look bad. the bunny rusty posted in the cam thread.. well the pixels look like big squares. i sure don't recall things looking like this. WOW i checked in the member's cars thread and the pictures look like shit. what's up?

It's your computer Kevin.

Check your browser's settings.
Are you using AOL (I bet so)?

ok. no, netzero sean. i've been getting this notice from spyware that there has been an attempt to change my browser settings. something to with a popup filter i think. i'll shut down, the notice will come up, i'll write down what's going on. maybe somebody here can give me some insight. the gray banner up top looks like crap too. there are not enough houses on my street to warrant us even being offered dsl. i'm stuck with dial up. tees? did you get my pm a few days ago?

Kevin,

I think you've got some malware. I fixed a system yesterday with similar problems. The bug would continually go in and change the Display properties to 16 colors and lower the resolution.

First, go in a manually reset your display properties. See if that makes a difference. Then, run this and post the results here.

HiJack This!

We'll figure out what you've got.

Keep cheking with your phone company on the DSL. We we have lived here for a few years and when we first moved here there was no DSL, and a sattelite hookup was quite costly. So I called them about something else a few months ago and they told me that DSL is now available here, I was surprised because we live out in the country outside of Amity.

paul, to show you how little i know, this is my first cut and paste. computer was set True Color 32 bit. i noticed no picture issues prior to this am. i deleted the netzero "free" trial high speed program.

Sorry, my fault.

Try this:

HiJackThis from MajorGeeks. Don't click on anything. Wait for the download to start.

super paul. registry mechanic found a number of problems. 26 in the control panel alone. it cleared up the picture issue. thanks so much . sometimes this kind of information is as important fuel injection trouble shooting.

kevin

but the top still looks like this. is this the way it should look?

God I love Windows.

well the top is better now . kudos to who ever is doing the manipulations. the h-p laptop is mine as of last week (wifes work sold it to us for a c-note), all of the software was gratis too.
