Text Resolution changed in Editor
and4cb:
Hello ouch -- Thank you for asking, but no, I did not get this fixed; the problem still exists. After a lot of research on the internet, I did play with font smoothing in the ATI Catalyst Control Center, as well as the clear type settings under Effects in the "Window Color and Appearance" (using Vista). I reset all of my settings to the factory default. At least now, when I use the "System" font in the CB editor, I can read my code. The debugger and compiler text is still hard to read. By the way, I am now using the nightly version 10122.
Now, the poor quality text also appears in Excel and WordPad. The only other clue I have is that in my display settings, the computer shows my monitor as Samsung -- I did have a Samsung External monitor connected to my laptop for a brief period, but not currently.
Bottom line is that this does not appear to be a CB issue. But if you have any other suggestions, please do let me know.

What is graphics card? And is it a card or an onboard chip?
Well actually, what I would do is to uninstall the video drivers and then re-install them. That will set your video settings back to their defaults. If it still looks messed up then it's a windows setting doing it.

Hello ouch: Thank you so much for your ideas. The graphics card appears to be "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650". I do not know how to determine the answer to the card vs. onboard chip question. Your suggestion about re-installing the video drivers sounds perfect. I have never uninstalled drivers before. Is this something you could tell me how to do easily? If not, I will research on the internet when I have some extra time. I am very grateful for the guidance you have provided so far.

The text resolution changed after a Windows Update. And, great news, the text resolution is fixed since the Windows Update from last night. At least this time, Microsoft fixed something that they had broken previously.
Thank you to all who offered suggestions.
