Chrome text very distorted

Using Chrome ALL the text is quite distorted. Viewing the same page on IE looks great. I reinstalled Chrome and am still experiencing the problem. Dell Pro Support is stumped. I can't understand what is happening.

Hello Experts. Naturally I thought a photo would be helpful, but it is proving difficult to accomplish. Using Snagit, if I take a shot of the sample poor text and email it, the shot is too small to be able to see the problem. I have captured it, attached, in two different formats. With jpg I find that if I resize it to demonstrate the problem the problem disappears. Naturally both Chrome and IE are being used in 100% size and native resolution of the monitors. Hopefully one of these two files will show the problem. Shaun, your link describes what I have.Before trying to implement it (and pay the fee for the cure) I will do a bit more investigating and hoping for a solution that does not require me to buy a program to fix it.

Now I am TOTALLY CONFUSED. I began my day intent on fixing this problem with the help of all you Experts. Yesterday I had already verified that my Chrome was the latest version and that my video drivers were up to date. I also checked the smooth fonts box and it was already checked. I essentially did NOTHING. i first went to a specific page that I first noticed the problem on. It was/is perfect!! I have no explanation of how this is happening. I did not turn off the computer between last night exhibiting the difficulty and now when it is perfect once again. You Experts have been SUPER in coming up with your suggestions and research. I appreciate it a LOT. But for now I am just scratching my head as to what has happened. Thanks again!!
