Has no one else experienced this problem? I am working on upgrading a friends computer. He has PhotoShop, InDesign, etc. I took his computer home to upgrade it, and only took the "box" (no monitor or other peripherals) to my shop. I noticed while going to Microsoft's Windows Update web site to get latest XP Pro upgrades) that the text was practically unreadable, yet other web sites appear to display jsut fine. Then I learned about this Adobe Gamma thing - apparently it calibrates to a specific monitor. Could this be the problem I'm having when I hook his box up to my monitors (I've actually tried a couple different monitors of mine and it still doesn't display the microsoft site very well)? Or when I take it back will it work fine with his monitor? Or, by some quirk - is it a bad video card (but bench test show the video card should be just fine)?

Could it be that - when my friend installed his Adobe software - he has a
printing company that is virtually all Adobe products - perhaps he
installed some default fonts for his software that inadvertently
removed/altered the default IE 6 fonts, etc.?
What can I do to check this? According to my defaults, etc., on all of MY
other computers that work - I have:
in "IE6\Tools\Internet Options\General\Fonts"
Language script: Latin based
Web page font: Times New Roman
Plain text font: Courier New
Also,
in "IE6\Tools\Internet Options\Accessibility" everything is unchecked;
Also, in "IE6\Tools\Internet Options\Security\Custom Level." I have "Font
Download - Enable" checked.
I need to check those fonts, etc. on my friends computer, but what if
they're the same? Are could it be something else? (even the motherboard?)
