You didn't tell what application. It matters since some internet accelerators blur the graphics. Also your post didn't tell what video mode you have the machine set to.
Best of luck,

I have blurring of text and graphics on the desktop of my 6-month-old laptop running XP Home. Can't find where to make adjustments, or is there a place at all to do this? Thanks in anticipation.
