what is wrong with it?  Is it grainy?  Blurry?  If it\'s just the start button it could be something with your monitor, maybe the corner has been affected by a magnet from a speaker or something.

Not to sure what to tell you...can you be a little more specific?

Must be something wrong with your monitor because it looks fine here.  Does it only look bad on your monitor because of its location?  DO you have non shielded speakers next to your monitor?

Go to display settings (right click on desktop, properties) --> Appearance tab --> Effects button --> the 2nd option should be checked with ClearType selected.

Click OK, apply and tell me if it changes.

u know if my speakers weren\'t magnetically sheilded, would they cause permanent damage to the monitor?
