IE Looks Like Poo

Ever since I got my laptop two years ago, I've had a weird problem with Internet Explorer: images are pixellated and somewhat garbled. I've messed around with the IE settings but have been unable to fix it. It's only a problem in Internet Explorer. Firefox, as well as all other non-internet applications, look fine.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this??

(Internet Explorer on the left, Firefox on the right. Actual size -- IE displays larger than Firefox. Note the "TAY" text and the bird's wingtip if you really want to see the pixellation.)

Update: Well obviously I hadn't tried an internet search in a while. I googled for a bit and found this solution. Hallelujah, IE doesn't look like doodoo anymore!
