    Crappy Graphics on Dell Inspiron 5100

    Hey All,

    My laptop at work is a Dell Inspiron 5100 with an ATI Mobile 7500C 32MB display adapter. It's a great little machine but the graphics are horrible. All major images, aside from the Wallpaper,(?), is blurred. Specifically, on the web.

    Now, is that my web settings or is this the result of my drivers for the laptop?

    Thinking it was the drivers, I went to ATI's website who told me to go to Dell since the drivers were specific for this type of display panel, etc. I did and go the correct driver from Dell. After installing and rebooting, it's still the same.

    Any suggestion please?



    System:
    Dell Inspiron 5100
    2.8GHz Pentium IV
    512MB DDR SDRAM
    32MB ATI Radeon Mobile 7500c
    Windows XP (Don't know what edition)

    That's a very interesting website, Midknyte, would you be able to put that in one of your stickies? Also thanks for mentioning me in the "Tech Tools" sticky.
