ie7 beta preview, please help.

thedoors27 · 03-30-2006, 05:15 PM

Ok, so I thought I'd download ie7 beta preview and install it on my computer. Well I've done that and I can't help but notice it displays webpages kind of blurry.

That's the only way I can describe it.

The text on webpages is not crisp as it is on ie6 or in firefox.

Can anyone help me?

It's quite easy. Go into the properties -> advanced and uncheck USE CLEAR TYPE. I had the same problem and that fixes it.

They have an illustration to show you how to disable or tweak it.

This is going to sound rather stupid but I can't find properties lol.

Cheers for that....one question though....what is the point of clear type???? I just don't see any point in it.

I dont know for sure, but i would say it would probably one of the function keys at the top of your keyboard

thedoors27 · 03-30-2006, 05:40 PM

Tried all of them, the best that one of the f keys did was to highlight the text.

It's a great feature man

Finally you know what the link to the window is. Why would you like to get rid of it?
