Apparently my brain was working better after I got home from work. I changed the monitor from "generic" to "generic svga etc etc" and now my resolution is 1024x768. Now if I can just get back used to reading the small fonts and stuff I'll be OK. Incidently, I failed to mention in my original post that one of the things I tried was reducing the color palette from "millions" to "thousands" of colors. Heck, I can't count that high anyway.
