Aside from all the "are you logged in?" and "too much eggnog?" jokes, it sounds like somehow your ClearType got turned off.

Try this: Open Windows Help, type "ClearType" and click on ClearType Frequently Asked Questions. Then from that page, click on "Go to the Microsoft typography website, and then follow the instructions for tuning ClearType."

Then follow the directions on the Microsoft webpage, and fine tune your ClearType settings.

Hope this helps. If not, then beg, borrow, or steal another monitor, and try to isolate the problem between your graphics card or the monitor. Once you do, then replace the bad component. ($$$)

Ok, thanks. That didn't work. I'll try the graphics driver and card check now.
