Picture quality

[Terry]

WHy is it when I open a site with pictures it is
distorted and looks like a puzzle trying to fit together.
I have my display settings at 32 bit high quality and it
still works like that. when i use aol browser the
pictures are clear

this was happening to me and i think that i've finally
fixed it. it seems like this was happening to lots of
people with newer dell laptops with fancy high-resolution
video cards/screens.

i spent like 4 hours with a dell person on the phone who
ultimately told me that i'd have to format my hard drive
and load things separately, thank god i didn't do that.

i tried downloading an updated driver from the website of
the company that makes the video card (NVidia) - i don't
think i needed to do that but a friend was saying that
possibly IE was using a generic Microsoft XP video driver
for the card. it turns out that it IS using that type of
driver but i don't think that's the problem.

anyway there are 2 things that i did and either or one of
them worked. the link below is to the dell support page
where i found the info. first of all you need to go into
internet explorer's Internet Options under the Tools
heading, then click the Advanced tab. scroll down to the
Multimedia heading and UN-check the "enable image auto-
resizing". somebody on one of the groups said that alone
worked for them.

the second thing is to right-click on the Windows
Desktop, then click Properties. click on Settings, then
Advanced. change the DPI setting to "Normal Size (96
dpi)", then click OK and restart your system.

the net effect is that the text winds up being kind of
small, but the images on IE are super-clear. i hope this
works for everyone else.

WHy is it when I open a site with pictures it is
distorted and looks like a puzzle trying to fit together.
I try to adjust the color quality by clicking the mouse right button then click on" Display all images with full quality" it is working fine and pictures are clear but only that page okay, if I go to another website it has the same problems
when i use netscape the pictures are clear all the time

Is it a laptop?
The reason for blurry images is that IE6 is set up to resize the
images based on the Display DPI setting. Many laptops are shipped 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
