6. Go to internet options
then the "advanced" tab

make sure "automatic image resizing" is disabled
and that "smart image dithering" is on

8. this weird
just to satisfy me right click on the desktop and choose properties tell me what the screen res is maybe we can change it, reboot change it to a higher res reboot again. It may toggle something in the registry and 'fix itself'

9. AOL?
AOL fetches compressed cached images from their servers instead of the web. They're invariably crappy. If you're using AOL, you oughta look for a "turn off compression" or somesuch option.

24. That is a good find but no go, I did notice something...
The little Icon in the left hand corner of the image space before it opens the image isn't what it was before, I don't think...

26. There are thousands of them and I have no idea what I need to

31. Are you running any sort of spyware killer?
Sounds like you picked up some shit. Did you install any programs immediately before you noticed the problem?
