Blurry Text and Incorrectly rendered colors in 8,1

Ok...I'm at my wits end with this lap top.  I have tried everything.  I fixed it once...for about 48 hours, and then it went right back to the way it was.  
Problem:  My laptop (HP Envy with windows 8.1) exhibits the common blurry text problem that everyone complains about.  However, there's an additional problem with mine.  The colors are all off.  Reds show up as greens, greens show up
as reds.  It's a mess.  I can't even watch a movie on this thing cause it looks like a different planet!
I have downloaded all the newest latest greatest drivers for my graphics card.  I have went to the manufacturers website and searched for drivers and downloaded them.  I originally had W8.  I downloaded and installed W8.1.  No change.
 My graphics card is the AMD Catalyst.  I upgraded it.  
When I fixed this thing the first time, I THINK the thing that did it was to go into Control Panel to uninstall programs.  My AMD catalyst, when I clicked on it gave the option to "repair".  So I hit that.  When I restarted...my
colors and text were perfect.  For about two days.  Now it's back to it's former crappyness.  I tried that again to no avail.  
I've tried all the "de-scaling" crap that has been suggested on various forums.  Nada.  
Someone please help me with this.  I'm deployed overseas and my laptop is my lifeline over here.  

Go through the step by step instructions as sited here:
How-To Uninstall AMD Catalyst™ Drivers From A Windows® Based System
There is also a
standalone uninstallation utility will clean your system of any existing AMD Catalyst drivers to prepare your PC for the clean installation of a new driver version.
Once the driver uninstalled visit AMD's website to download and install the latest compatible driver.
Right click your desktop.
Choose AMD Catalyst Control Center
Locate 3D Application Settings (under gaming)
Locate Morphological Filtering.
Make sure it is off.

  • Blurry text and logo

    I'm trying to alter a document since I noticed one small error that we received from a graphic designer. When I opened the document in in-design, the photos, logos and text below the pictures came in blurry. Please see below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I submitted the original photos and logos to the graphic designer since we are the client. The files she sent back look FANTASTIC except that I noticed one TINY mistake which was an error on my part (one word was misspelled wrong). When I open the InDesign file, the photos, logos and text under the photos come in blurry even with high quality selected. It’s in a text box and I changed that easily. I thought it would be a really easy fix to change this one word and then export as a pdf and jpeg. I attached the InDesign file if that helps.

  • When I go to a drop down menu, for example bookmarks, I mouse over the text and it turns color with a dark bar; can this be fixed?

    I am running Firefox 5 currently. Ever since the last update to Firefox 4 and currently with firefox 5 I have had this issue. The dropdown menu is normal when it first drops down. When i move my cursor over the text in the menu it changes to a dark blue bar and remains that way until I close the dropdown, it resets until i dropdown and mouseover again. When I make a selection in the menu it works fine.
    I have also noticed that the buttons in the browser and in certain websites have a "sweetspot" you have to hit for the button to function. In past versions if you clicked anywhere on the graphical button it would function.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

  • SSRS - overlap in text and gridlines (rendering to .pdf)

    I have searched everywhere to find the answer, but I cannot find it. I have a table where numbers have been outlined to the right. The table has a borderstyle black with 1pt and padding with 2pt. When rendering this table to .pdf the numbers disappear behind
    the gridlines (with or without gridlines). Some do, some don't. See also the included image.
    Can someone help me with this? Increasing padding does not work. Adding spaces does not work. Outlining to the center or left, yes that works, but I need it outlined to the right.
    Is there someone who can help me to fix this?
    Best regards,

    Hi _Montinio,
    According to your description, when you export the report to PDF file, the end of numbers in each cell are hidden.
    In Reporting Service, if values are numeric, it will automatically right aligned in textbox. And the padding for textbox is set to 2pt by default. As we tested in our environment, the textbox works properly. Please refer to screenshots blow:
    In your scenario, according to your screenshot, it seems like you don’t set padding to top and left. So I would like to know some detail information about your report design. If possible, please provide some screenshots about results both in BIDS and PDF
    render.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best regards,

  • Dynamic Text and color changes......

    In some cheap website creating software I have you can turn
    text into rich text and change the color of individual words inside
    the same text box full of text. Is there anyway to do that in flash
    CS3?

    Thanks clbeech I actually found an easy way to do it. For
    your dynamic text box you can click the "html" box in the
    properties window for that text box. (Its a little square box with
    this <> inside it and its just to the right of the singleline
    and multiline box drop down.) You can then select the text you want
    to edit inside the text box and change its font/size/color as well
    as turn it into a dynamic link and it will do so without affecting
    the rest of the text in your text box.

  • Fix for blurry text on Dell 30" U3014 connected by DisplayPort to Mac Pro (late 2013) AMD D700

    Just connected my new Mac Pro (late 2013) to my Dell 30" U3014 with DisplayPort cables, only to find blurry text and bad gamma etc.
    Whilst the earlier post/discussion Mac Pro (8 core with the D700 GPU's) (Dell U2713H) was somewhat illumative, I thought a simple list of links for this specific configuration might help someone.
    The Ruby script, modified for D3014 can be found at post http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3153072
    If you're impatient like me, don't forget to copy the created Folder to /System/Library/Displays/Overrides before rebooting.  Thanks to Blurry text on Dell Monitor + Mac OS X | Danilo Ercoli

    Hi Grant,
    Thanks for taking the time to think about my issue and respond. But I don't see where your response is relevant.
    I want to connect two monitors, each via Mini-Display Port, and only one will work at a time. I am not using DVI cables at all. In this article, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6068, it clearly states that I can connect three monitors via Thunderbolt (mini-display port) as long as they're on different busses. I was doing that, and it didn't work.
    What display configurations can I use with my Mac Pro (Late 2013)?
    You can connect up to six displays to your Mac Pro (Late 2013) running Windows 8 via Boot Camp. Check the list below to be sure you're setting up your displays in a supported configuration via the HDMI and Thunderbolt ports.
    You can connect:
    Six Apple LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays via Thunderbolt. For best results, attach displays to different Thunderbolt busses when possible (see figure below).
    Three Apple Thunderbolt Displays (27-inch). Connect only one per Thunderbolt bus (see figure below). Note: You could connect three more LED Cinema Displays (27-inch) or third-party displays, one per Thunderbolt bus, for a total of six displays.
    Two Apple Thunderbolt Displays (on Thunderbolt bus 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV using HDMI.
    Two 4K displays (on Thunderbolt buses 1 and 2) and one 4K Ultra HD TV on HDMI).

  • Why is it that text in Mavericks and Safari renders as medium gray and not black, anymore?

    Why is it that text in Mavericks and Safari renders as medium gray and not black, anymore? In Mountain Lion and Safari 6.x this was not a problem.

    Have registered the following to the feedback link above by macjack:
    Mavericks renders most text as a gray (65 +/- in all three RGB using Digital Color Meter) and not black.
    This is a big change from pre-Mavericks and is especially difficult in Safari; worse still in Safari "Reader" where sub-heads in Reader-ized text are still paler.
    Especially for older eyes this does not fly. This user is close to downgrading to Mountain Lion and Safari 6, where this was not a problem.
    Stout rap on the nose: Jony Ive should be shorn of his glasses/contacts and forced to read only on these displays and OS versions until he cries out for the opthomalogist. One can only conclude this problem exists because those who came up with it were never in need of actually using it.
    Make the text BLACK.
    It's the same story on our MacBook Airs and MacBook Pro.

  • Every time I try to replace text on a brochure template, the colors inexplicably change- and when I try and change the color, it doesn't let me- help, very frustrated:)  Please respond in laymen's terms:P

    Hello Everyone,
    I am working with the Green Grocery Newsletter Template, and I am trying to substitute the text.  As an example of my issue, when I highlight the title text and start typing, it turns blue, even though the text color box still shows green.  Actually, any text I try to replace turns blue!  If I try to change the color of my blue text, the text color box shows the new color, but the text on the template is of course, still blue.
    Please help:)! So frustrated and on a deadline.
    Thank you:)!
    Kindra

    Just wondering, when you pull up the inspector, is the writing that is coming up blue a hyperlink (when you click on it, will it take you to a web page or an e-mail)?

  • How can I change the color of a folder icon and also the color of the text

    I am using Yosemite.  Is there any way to change the color of a folder icon and also the color of the text?

    You can't. You can't individually set the properties of just one array element.

  • Lack of sharpness in text and colors

    Recently I have noticed text and colors appear to have faded, not dramatically but discernible nonetheless. I have adjusted brightness (in displays) with no effect so I wonder if someone can suggest another route ... or is it symptomatic of other problems.

    Sorry. Resolved. Universal Access. I just hadn't found it.

  • Is it possible to do a GLOBAL color change for both text and graphics in ACrobat XI?

    I used to do this using the Pitstop Pro plugin but now Pitstop is almost $900 and this is the only thing that I would use it for, not worth the investment
    I can change text color by selecting individual text items, but I want to change all of the red text into white text
    I also need to change all of the red graphics into white graphics and I can't figure out how to do that either
    I have a trial version of XI on a Mac and will buy it if it can do what I am trying to do, i.e. global color changes to both text and graphics
    thanks!!

    I have version 6, but it is way out of date, doesn't work on my current system, I downloaded a trial version of the new one, version 12 I think, now I have to decide if I can afford to buy it, it is not cheap!
    oops, sorry, I didn't read your entire message, aargh!
    I'll check with them if I can upgrade from this early version, thanks for the suggestion!

  • Find and Replace Font Colors in Multiple Text Boxes

    Hello,
    I have Illustrator version 15
    I made many text boxes with multiple colors, red and black on each letter. I was wondering if there is a find and replace tool for multiple text boxes. I want to change the reds to black and the blacks to light grey. I tried clicking on change swatch color but it only worked for the letter I had selected, even with the global option selected. I then when to select -> Same -> Color Stroke but it just selected each text box on the page....Is there anyway to do this?
    Jordan

    Not exactly a find and replace but you can do it.
    Select the text frames yu want to change the colors using the shift key to click select the frames.
    Then go to Edit>Edit Color>Recolor Art
    You wll see a dialog with red and black bars along side two shorter bars click the shorter bars to select a New Color a color picker will appear you can use the swatches or the color mixer.
    There is a live preview /so you will see the change in case you want to pick a different gray, of course you can always go back to the recolor art dialog.
    I am afraid you manually have to select text frames with multiple colors in order to accomplish what you want but the method above I believe is the only want to change the colors.
    This video shows how the dialog works but pretend the one frame I did not select is another color.

  • Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

    Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
    I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

    Hi Tom,
    Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
    Please explain what you are trying to do.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Renderable text and indexing

    My ultimate goal is to have as complete a “Full Text Index” as possible.  To that end, I have a couple of questions.   I have both scanned pdfs and pdfs that have been created from word or powerpoint and have renderable text.
    for those files with renderable text
    If a page has renderable text, is all of the text included when the “Full Text Index” is built?
    If a page has renderable text and an image, is the text within the image ignored when the “Full Text Index” is built?
    If I OCR the document, if a page has renderable text and an image, is the image ignored during the OCR process?
    If I OCR the document, if a page has an image and no renderable text, is the text within the image recognized during the OCR process?
    Thanks.

    1. If a page has renderable text, is all of the text included when the “Full Text Index” is built?
    The key question is "Do the renderable texts' fonts map to Unicode?" Fonts that map to Unicode are searchable.
    Such will be harvested by the Catalog index.
    Using Acrobat Pro you can create a preflight to check for this.
    2. If a page has renderable text and an image, is the text within the image ignored when the “Full Text Index” is built?
    Ok, a scanned image of text has no "text" just pixels that look like text - it is all just an image.
    So, nothing to be harvested by the Catalog index. The page's renderable text will be harvested by the Catalog index.
    3. If I OCR the document, if a page has renderable text and an image, is the image ignored during the OCR process?
    A page of a PDF that has renderable text cannot be OCR'd.
    Provided the page's content is an image containing pixels representing characters OCR will attempt to recognize these and provide an output.
    If Searchable Image or Searchable Image (Exact) is used the "recognized" output is a hidden/invisible layer (text rendering mode 3 - no stroke, no fill).
    The scanned image remains on the page. Searchable Image 'tweaks' the image. Searchable Image (Exact) does not.
    So, for both you have the scanned image and the hidden layer of OCR output.
    Alternatively, if you use ClearScan recognized characters (in the image) are replaced with an Acrobat generated font.
    Anything not recognized is left as a bitmap of the 'character'.
    So, the image is not ignored by OCR as it is what OCR analyses to recognize characters for providing an output.
    A Catalog index will harvest the OCR output of any of the three OCR modes.
    4. If I OCR the document, if a page has an image and no renderable text, is the text within the image recognized during the OCR process?
    OCR will attempt to recognize the pixels that represent characters and when recognized provide an output.
    A Catalog index will harvest the OCR output.
    Be well...
