    1. run at native resolution
    2. set dpi to 96
    3. enable cleartype

    Did you try, downloading updates and installing the ATI catalyst control center?
    Is your resolution set to what it was when you first got your laptop?
    Check you DPI settings and you color settings.
    Other than that, I can't think of much esle.

    Hope some of this helps
