I'm using IE7RC1. Whenever a web page is opened its font's color get
distorted, Instead of showing characters in black it is shown in purple and
black colors. Kindly tell the remedy.
Hi,
Try this...
Internet Options> Advanced> Multimedia> uncheck "Use Clear Type."

Thanks, Don. Your answer does help!
However, like I already commented in another thread on this issue, this
option should be renamed to "UnclearType"... :( Oh, man, they have weird
people in that IE7 product launch team to approve something like this as a
default... and not to even bother mentioning how to get rid of it!
Don, thanks again!

I had just purchased an expensive high resolution 22 inch monitor, and was
convinced that the problem was with the monitor itself. I tried it it on
Firefox and everyting worked great and then uninstalled 7 and loaded 6 and
sure enough no problem. I did not have the problem on my old flat screen
monitor, nor do I have it on my laptops truebrite screen.
Thanks for the solution, MSFT should be a little more proactive in dealing
with this problem, after all, this is the most visible "face" that MSFT has.
