Try this if it helps you....I tried with a DELL software
technician on phone but it still did not resolve my
problem....I found this response from another person in
this group.....Manu

Reposted information from Frank Saunders:

The reason for blurry images is that IE6 is set up to
resize the
images based on the Display DPI setting. Dell ships its
Inspirons with
higher DPI than the default and set IE6 to resize the
image.

You can either set the DPI to the default (Normal - 96) or
remove
IE6's UseHR registry key to deactivite image resizing.
Here are the
relevant information (from Microsoft Knowledge Base):


Images Scaling in Internet Explorer (hi-res)
============================================

How to Activate Scaling
Internet Explorer 6 and later automatically adjusts the
scale on
higher resolution systems when the DPI setting is higher
than 96 DPI
and the "UseHR" registry value is added to the registry.
These are
usually done by the manufacturers of higher resolution
systems.

Set the DPI
These are the steps for changing the DPI setting on your
system.

Right-click the Windows desktop to display the context
menu.
Click Properties on the context menu to display the
Display Properties
dialog.
Click the Settings tab on the Display Properties dialog to
display the
Settings tab.
Click the Advanced button on the Settings tab to display
the monitor
properties dialog.
Select a DPI setting in the Display frame of the monitor
properties
dialog to change the DPI setting.
Restart your system to allow the changes to take effect.
Add the UseHR Registry Entry
The UseHR value is added to the Main key under "Internet
Explorer" as
follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Right Click in the right pane and select New | DWORD value
and set its data
to 00000001
