A common denominator if fonts/graphics are washed out and web text not crisp would be...graphic card or the drivers? I uninstalled the video card drivers and reinstalled, booted up and boom, the NOD32 settings were excellent, as are Malewarebytes which were washed out. Text on webpages are more crisp. I then adjusted the gamma, brightness, etc and it went back to being washy looking. I uninstalled and reinstalled, adjusted gama, etc and all is ok..What made me think of the video drivers was because it happened before to a lesser degree. There are still some parts left in the registry I assume since I had to install twice...Also the icons in my tray were tiny but now back to normal....Now I need to fix OE as the text and graphics are too big and overlap, in those grapic ads from Tiger Direct, etc...what size and where should I look to tweak this, does IE control OE fonts?
