    Hey guys I got my dell e1505 today and cranked her up. I went onto the internet and all the images are fuzzy like spreaded apart. Is that because of the widescreen? Or is there something wrong? Please get back ASAP. I called Dell Support and they hung up on me....

    Right-click Desktop --> Properities --> Settings tab --> push the slider under "Screen Resolution" all the way to the right --> Apply --> OK.

    It could also be the DPI.

    Right-click Desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > Change the DPI to Normal > Apply > OK. I would bet on this being your problem.
