HP Pavilion xt953/Windows ME/Internet Explorer 6/AVG Virus Detection/Spybot.

When I bring up sites with clothes or furniture the pictures are blurred and are worse when I enlarge them. Can you help? Thank you.

Check your windows settings

I would check your Windows Settings for your display options. This is how I would do it. With your mouse, right click on an empty area of the desktop (make sure there are no icons real close), when the pop-up menu comes up choose Properties, go to the Advanced Tab, or the Settings Tab, then look at at the colors, I would run it as I high as I could, also check the screen area, depending on your graphics card, most will let you set it to at least 800x600, but I run mine at 1024 x 768, make your selections then choose OK.
I HOPE THIS HELPS

Thanks for trying, but that didn't help at all. Maybe I didn't explain myself well enough. See the Online Class ad to the left of your screen? Well on my screen the letters are fine, but the picture of the camera they're holding is blurry and the background colors are muted. Thank you.

Using dial-up?

If so are you using an internet speeder-upper?

If so try turning it off.
