Eric,
The link you need is the second match for your *exact* query (i.e. "how do
I turn clear type off") on <http://google.com/> (and most of the others
are obviously irrelevant [from the summaries; there was no need to follow
them]).
I am not picking on you personally, but questions about Windows XP
configuration are *really* off-topic on this list. This is a high-volume
list, and if we were to answer every off-topic query, it would get out of
hand very quickly. That's why there are search engines. And the
instructions above show just how easy it is to use them -- simply search
for the same question you ask on the list.
In fact (and this is addressing a more general audience), it's probably a
good idea to search <http://google.com/> for the exact question you're
about to ask on the list. You never know what might turn up... ;-)
Igor
P.S. FYI, the link I meant was <http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/customize/cleartype/tuner/default.asp>
P.P.S. Mean, eh? ;-)
