Try changing ClearType settings in "Desktop Properties", Apparence, Effects.

what happens if you start the computer in vga mode, this way it will only use the most generic drivers, your display should be clear but huge.
If you have a mainboard cd with the Laptop this will have all the default drivers for your video card.
