    Hi, just a quick question:

    I recently reformatted my XPS M1710 and reinstalled Windows and all of the drivers.

    But after this format, all graphics and icons - like for instance the 'Google'-image at google.com - appear jagged around the edges and somewhat blurry.. I have tried reinstalling the graphics drivers, but it changed nothing.
    What causes this, and how do I go about fixing it?

    Thanks a lot!

    Check your font DPI. It sounds like it's set to large (120) instead of normal (96). Right click on the desktop, then

    Settings -> Appearance -> Font size -> Normal
