After reinstalling XP on my PC over the weekend, I noticed that some text (especially bold text) looked to be very, very blurry. Maybe blurry isn't the right word but it was very difficult and uncomfortable to read.
Normally this is the kind of stuff that I notice and nobody else does, and I was preparing to live with the problem (as I do with my other 50 display related problems). As it turns out this can be fixed very easily...
1. Right click on the desktop
2. Click Properties
3. Click on the Appearance tab
4. Click Effects
5. Change the dropdown "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" from "ClearType" to "Standard"
You should notice an immediate difference. For some reason things like Google Talk (the desktop application) still appeared with blurry text. In that case, you can't be a good old fashioned restart after changing that setting.
