Text Blurry!!

[Guest]

Due to a problem I had to re-install XP Home and it went all fine and well
but in Photo Editing programs and sometimes in other places such as Word etc.
The text is quite rough or blurry or sometimes both!
Ive tried using cleartype and that dosen't make much diffrence so how can I
fix it?
I know using Tweak UI XP Powertoy you can re-install the fonts will this work?
Please help ASAP
as I need to work on some graphics for my website.

Tried using the latest video card driver and setting the screen resolution
to your monitors native (recommended) resolution?

Yes I have the drivers that I had before which worked fine and I didn't have
any problems I cannot install newer ones as it says something about VGA so
maybe I have to start in VGA mode im not sure but I have the same screen size
as before and same drivers for graphics and settings so I dont know why it is
like this.

Sounds more and more to me like you are not running the latest video driver
made for the video hardware in question...

Windows XP would install 'default' drivers that may work - but they are
probably not the latest nor the best for your computer.

Do you know the name of the video card? Or at least the manufacturer?
(NVidia, ATI, Intel?)

No it will not let me install them it says that it couldn't find a supported
operating syem which mine is Windows XP Home 32 Bit and that it would exit
then it said try starting with normal VGA Drivers so I tried going F8 on boot
up and enable VGA Mode but still didnt work so inst there just a driver
update as I dont have the Catalyst software.
Also the driver worked find before same version but when I re-installed its
gone like it has.

What do you reccomend I do?
