IE 6 pixelated images

J

Jerome

All images in IE 6.0 for me are extremely pixelated. I've
changed my display settings to no avail, and I've saved
images to my computer and opened them in another program,
where they appear correctly. The only advice I've been
given is to empty cookies and cache (done, no help) and
to uninstall and reinstall IE, which I'm a bit loath to
do. Anyone have any ideas?

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.

Run REGEDIT to 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
UseHR= dword:00000001

If that's not the solution for you:

Hope this helps,
