if it's the way the website is made, I don't think there's much you can do about it. You could turn your color depth down as far as it will go and it might help, but I don't think there's a lot you can do about it

If you can read the text on this website alright, I'd say it's the websites you've been visiting. Perhaps if you post a link to one of them you're experiencing the problem with, we could see for ourselves.

Have you tried making all the font bigger?

In IE>View>Text Size>Increase. Try that.

What kind of monitor do you have. Going to the defaults on teh monitor settings might help too.

Do you have an example URL you can post?
