From: "Dallas" Jagged on
i found it, not the "contrast" per se' setting, but the clear type & so far,
it is helping - contrast is better w/ a darker font..

a few months ago, when i wasnt on much, i did a few things, i found in
google to maybe speed up my machine & one was the fonts, but could never
find my way back to the same thing; i dont recall ever going thru control
panel>appearance/themes> display>appearance>effects, but this has indeed
helped a lot, at least on a few windows i do have open.

again, andrew, many thanks for your help as i wasn't even aware of clear
type!
