Computer graphic problem

My PC has 2 op systems,Vista and Win 7,connected to a HDMI monitor via a HDMI cable,when I use Win7 the desktop and icons are pin sharp,as is all other applications,but when I load up Vista,it all goes horrible and fuzzy and not as clear as under Win7,it's the same cable etc,why is this,is it purely because Win7 handles the graphics better???Cheers.:cool:

    it could be drivers, but also screen resolution, no of colours and frequency are the things I'd check first

    Does sound like the graphics drivers on the Vista OS need updating/tweaking.

    Have you changed the resolution on the Vista OS ?

    Right click on desktop => properties

    Make the resolution the same as the Win7 OS.
