Yes, but my friend on another forum called me Koolaid (Not Kool-aid), and it just stuck, but Kool-aid is just, like Yaya said, it's colored sugar water for kids.

Does anyone know how my screen visuals could've gotten so crappy? I didn't even touch any thing and it has nothing to do with brightness or contrast.

Close IE

To be honest, I don't see what's so crappy on that picture...?

it looks normal...

Makes me think it's the fault of your monitor - hardware issue.

Dang, I was hoping it wasn't on my end. Basically everything is significantly grainier and slightly darker, but brightness changing has nothing to do with it. Also, I was enraged after turning on and off my computer, cuz at 1st everything was normal again, but then it just changed back into the grainy mode for no reason. ARRRRGH!

Try looking in your screen settings, because I have the same kind of Vista (I mean it's older) and that has never happend to me.

Where are the screen settings? The only way to adjust things like that was on the graphics properties tab in the desktop.

If you have one of those old monitors then it's probably time to get an LCD monitor.

In the control panel, I found a screen setting type thing that adjusts the screen resolution.

It's probably a Vista from around 2007, so it's not really that old.

If you have Intel, try looking in C:\Intel\ExtremeGraphics\CUI\IntelHDGraphics.exe

Load the executable, and change the settings to try and fix the problems. I boosted the saturation and made it a bit brighter, my screen/laptop looks incredibly new. Try that.

Well I have the Intel folder in my C: drive, but I can't find the ExtremeGraphics folder. I can only find the Logs folder, so is ExtremeGraphics a hidden folder?

SBURBIAN COUNTDOWN why are you so awesome. Slight spoilers for people who have not read Homestuck.

Why didn't you just post that into the "What are you listening to?" topic?

I'm an idiot

I'll go post it there.

XD Okay.

Here's a crazy theory. Maybe Yaya was using a browser with anti-aliasing turned off, and when it got turned back on somehow, all the text looks fuzzier than before.

Otherwise, I've got nothing.

It may be a hidden folder, good suggestion. Try turning "show hidden folders" on, that may help.

I'm not sure if you guys saw my chatbox post, but I fixed the problem by setting my monitor back to factory settings.

Oh, I didn't see that :/

Your signiture is starting to get anoying now, Thomas Why would you be proud of living in Vancouver?    

I assume it's some logo of a basketball/other sport team.

Could be hockey/ice hockey... I have seen some kind of Canadian blue - animal ice hockey logo before. The something Bulls is their team name I think. Blue something maybe. I dunno.

LaTeX is pretty nice to use. It's pretty complicated at first, but still easier to let it do what you want than Microsoft Word.

What do you have against Vancouver?

I made the logo in my signature smaller. It's the Vancouver Canucks by the way.
