How to fix pixelated images in IE

I don’t use Internet Explorer (IE) much (Firefox is better in so many ways), but since I write web pages I have to check how they look in IE every so often. I found that most of the images in IE were pixelated (jagged edges where lines should be clear), so I finally went off to hunt for a solution. I found one here:

Ryan McFarland at ziek.com

If you are experiencing pixelated images in IE, take a moment to visit Ryan’s web site and he walks you through all the steps, including screen shots so you can be sure you’re doing it correctly. I tried just the second fix (using Regedit), and that solved the problem without changing my screen font size (the first fix does this, and may make your screen font too small to comfortably read).

PS. I haven’t used Windows Vista, and these instructions are for Windows XP. Not sure if you’ll have the problem with IE in Vista, nor if these instructions will work in Vista.
