Sorry, I should have clarified that the first update I mentioned in my last reply was a Windows update (KB3000850). The second update I mentioned, the Intel one, doesn't have a KB number.

Well I looked up the KB3000850 update using the search function on here and saw that it has the potential to cause problems (I don't have AVAST). I've had this laptop since March but I just want to make sure these updates are necessary. Do you recommend I do the update for Intel by going to...

Thanks for your help. I downloaded it per your instruction, and everything installed/restarted with no problem. One other question, I have 4 "Optional" updates and wanted to double check if I needed to install thesel. Again, I don't like to just install things all willy nilly since I'm not an...

Okay I went to the linked page you posted (thank you by the way) and it had a different published date, does that matter?

Thank you Wynona! I will check both of those links out.

Thanks for both of your replies! I did have someone else look at my screen they also said the fonts looked blurry/odd. Maybe I will try updating video drivers. It's just weird how everything looks bright and blurry compared to my dad's Windows 7 computer. Something is up! I keep looking at my...

I'm trying TRYING to work from home today but the screen fonts are making it unbearable for me. In Firefox/IE they appear blurry/distorted and it doesn't look right and hurts my eyes. I can't keep fussing around with settings(clear type/brightness/resizing) because it seems to make things...
