    Try updating your graphics drivers or run Windows Update.

    How many times have you rebooted? My m1340 did that for the first two or three reboots, and then figured itself out.

    It popped up a balloon tip box that said "Your resolution is not optimized for your screen (duh...is that why it's fuzzy?). Click here to change it." Never a problem since, though sometimes it does it after I exit a game. NBD, but if there's an easy fix, let me know...

    Uninstall your display drivers, restart windows, and install the latest drivers.
