    Hi,

    As the thread title suggest, I am having problems with my internet explorer using the Inspiron E1705 model. Basically the problem is that when I go to the websites that I normally go to, certain parts of those website would not work properly like when I open up a link to see a picture, the internet explorer would load the picture as it normally does with showing the original size of the picture first and then making it smaller, my problem is that when I click on the picture to view its original size again which has a higher resolution than my screen, the picture gets choppy. I already updated my explorer to the version 7 and it still giving me that problem. I ran my antivirus but it didn't help. Do I need to change my videocard driver? My videocard right now is just the stock and my 3D card is Nvidia Gforce 7900. I would really appreciate your help on this matter.

    Thank you!

    I have the X1400 and i6400 form dell. My images have been acting up since i got the update for the drivers. for example moving images have been flashing fast and moving where they should not go. It could be something with dell, but try resetting IE. I had to do this because none of my buttons for IE woruld work. For example shift button would go a page back and peroid would close IE and a bunch of other problems.

    Do this and see if it works

    I don't have that problem at all, but i'm using the drivers from NVIDIA's site, not the dell ones.

    are you on the 120 dpi screen setting? If you are, all images in IE will be enlarged which could cause them to look pixelated. There is a registry key that I downloaded to fix this.
