IE7 and Text in Web Page

Since Internet Explorer 7 I have run accross several instances where after upgrading to IE7 the text on some internet pages as well as in some e-mails is very faint - almost Iridescent.  I had to switch back to IE7.  This happened on 2 HP computers that were probably about 4 years old and on one Gateway that is about 2-4 years old.  Can you tell me what is going on with this?  Is it a graphic card issue?

The good:  IE 7 includes built-in tabbed browsing; antiphishing technology; an RSS reader; and a redesigned Favorites Center.

The bad: IE 7 is limited to Windows XP SP2 users only; installation requires reboot; reuses old IE 6 code and doesn't yet comply with current Web standards; doesn't match all the features found in Firefox or Opera; carries a Microsoft legacy of not patching its IE flaws quickly enough.

The bottom line: IE 7 was Microsoft's one chance to leapfrog ahead of the competition, but the company has only barely caught sight of the current front-runners. For more features and greater security, switch to Mozilla Firefox.
