    The icons and pictures in the Dell E1705 are blurry in the Internet Explorer, Does anybody know how to solve this problem? I have read once in this forum about changing a file, but I do not remember where.

    I have tried to change the DPI setting from 120 to 96, but the icons in desktop and fonts get too small.

    thanks.

    Your icons get small becuase you have a WUXGA screen - when its at 96 DPI, you're at your native font size, so making it bigger at 120 DPI will make all of your icons blurry.

    Thank you guys, I just disabled Internet Explorer Scaling in the Dell Quickset and the images in the internet explorer are just fine now.
