Display blurry when I drop to 1280x1024. Please help.

[Paradigm]

this must be the "native resolution" since it's the resolution it started up with when I installed the driver.

it can't be a font setting i was using -- i can't recall drastically changing anything about the fonts. yes, it seems very uncommon. though this is a UXGA screen (i think it was the top of the line before the shiny screens) it was never at 1600x1200.

for some reason the properties says that this is set up for "multiple monitors" and it has the 2nd monitor ghosted. i am having a bitch of a time navigating the ATI Radeon properties, but i can't find a way to switch from this multiple monitor setting. that could have something to do with it.

astroglide, thanks for your thoughts. btw this hitachi HD really is speedy.
