Okay, I know Clear Type looks good on my laptop and on LCD monitors, but I have an old fashioned CRT and having Clear Type enabled by default makes fonts look blurry. I haven't figured out how to turn it off - can you help? - Wayne S.

ANSWER:

Turning off Clear Type is as easy as a few clicks of the mouse - if you know where to click. As in the question above, you first open the Personalize dialog box, but then it gets trickier. Click the Windows Color and Appearance option, and then at the bottom, click Open Classic Appearance Properties for More Color Options (I know that doesn't sound like the right selection, but it is).

Then in the Appearance Settings dialog box, click the Effects button. Here, under "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts," in the drop- down box select "Standard" instead of "Clear Type." That should clear things up for you on your old CRT.
