Found this on another board. I have similiar resolution issues since upgrading to Adobe 8. I'm downloading from Nvidia, but won't finished until tomorrow (40MB file on dial up is really slow).

Good luck,

My menu fonts were fine, but the console fonts are blurred. My solution was to update the display card driver. Note that I found the Microsoft update option actually REVERTED the display driver to an earlier version. Direct updating from NVIDIA's site solved the problem. Other system details:
