    Hi,

    After installing IE ver.7 , my Dell Latitude (with XP) screen has changed, in that, it has become slightly hazy !

    It's not as CRYSTAL CLEAR as it used to be.

    Do I need to install a file to return to it's usual look ?

    It's the effect of "clear type". Open the display properties > Appearance > effects > smooth edges of screen fonts> select "standard" from the drop down list.
