Right click your desktop > Personalize > Window Color and Appearance > Open classic appearance > Effects > Either untick the top box, or set the drop-down menu to standards.

That made it worse

Is your monitor set properly? That might make it look blurry if it's misadjusted.

Wrong resolution, perhaps?

1680x1050 which is native

If it's on a vga connection, press the "auto adjust" button on your monitor

-on vista here and fonts are sharp, no less sharp than my linux installation

Try an auto adjustment in your screen options. You might even have a dedicated button to auto adjust.

Also, check your screen Hz is the highest it can go.
