Fuzzy

Hi!

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Some of the icons for the tiles on my Windows 8 are blurry. It's nothing major, but they're not as crisp or high resolution as I remember.

Here's a picture:

You can see that with Mail, Skydrive, Camera, Maps, Music, and Store, the icons are all a little bit fuzzy and not as high resolution as they should be. Is this intended or not? I know it's minor but it really bothers me.

When I go to desktop it looks good. I tried to reinstall the graphicdriver but it did not work.

Here is what I have:
Windows 8 Pro
Nvidia Geforce 680
16 gb ram
Intel i7
Benq monitor

Thanks for any help you can give me!​

You may have to install your graghics driver manually from the control panel. My ATI had to be done that way as well. Past that, if your monitor has an auto adjust you can try to see if that will fix it. I would lean toward the driver itself though....

Thanks for the answer. I tried to uninstall the driver manually and then install the latest version but its the same problem. I will try to install a clean version of Windows 8 and see if I got the same problem after that. I can't auto adjust the display because its disabled when I use DVI cable.

Gotcha, what kind of error are you getting on the video driver install?
