Fonts blurry

If you have sudden problems with blurry fonts in applications, go to Control Panel -> in search box type Fonts; click Fonts and then set your View to "Details". Right click on that tab and select "Date Modified". Now filter the dates so that the last ones to be installed are shown.

Chances are, you have a few that have been installed in the last two weeks. Highlight those and select "Delete".

Now, reboot and see if the problem has been fixed.

Windows 7 using too much memory

I have encountered problems with Windows 7 using too much memory, but a reboot fixes the problem. This can be the result of a faulty driver. I think that, specifically, Comodo System Cleaner
was causing a memory issue. This may be resolved in newer versions of the program, so update it first and see if the problem persists. If it does persist, uninstall it and test again.

You can also go to your Device Manager and select View -> Show hidden devices. Expand "Non-Plug and Play Drivers" and uninstall any drivers that you think are unnecessary. Usually, third-party drivers are spelled in lowercase. If you don't know what a certain one is, google its name, and you should be able to find out.
