From your description it sounds as if ClearType has been enabled with
the incorrect choice of setting for the monitor in question, but why

If you are running Win XP, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/...ner/step1.aspx. Then,
run the wizard to configure Clear Type for your LCD monitor.

If you are running Vista, try the link from
www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartypeInfo.mspx.
