Blurred Games

Kind of an odd problem I'm having;
Lately I've gone to play a game and it has been blurred slightly. In Guild Wars the entire game is blurred (menu, text, graphics) and in UT2004 the font is blurred. It's as if the game was not set to the right resolution and was being stretched (I have a TFT). I have re-installed graphics drivers and made sure the resolution in game is set to 1280x1024. Any ideas?

Thanks.

Here is a screenshot:

Forget about the .JPG compression, it looks like that anyway and I used Photoshop to convert it.

I have a 17" TFT with a resolution of 1280x1024.

Small update, it's happening in every game. My monitor is set to 60Hz (DVI) and I tried turning the post-processing off in Guild Wars; it stopped the game being blurred but text was still unreadable and I remember being able to use post-processing before with no disadvantages.

You're right guys, it is cleartype. Is there anyway I can still have cleartype on and keep my games unblurred? I have been using cleartype for years and this problem has only come on in the last few days...
