Distorted graphics when online

I have a dimension 8200 with  NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX with tv out. When I am online, graphics and images are distorted anf fuzzy. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the video drivers to no avail. I can not use system restore because I just got rid of the blaster virus. I changed some settings a few weeks ago to allow a computer game to look better, and I can't recall how or what I changed. I have since reset the default display settings for windows xp, but this hasn't corrected the problem either. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I may be able to fix this problem?

    Some Internet service providers, now have the 5x faster technology in them which makes your graphics look bad, cuz its trying to reduce the amount of data sent to you so thus faster speeds.  If you go under internet settings and have AOL you can turn this option off to see the graphics in there full detail.  If you dont have aol and someother ISP, then just check their options and turn the 5x faster thing off.  Hope that helps!

    Thank you for the ideas. My isp doesn't use 5x though. I am getting to the point where I don't think the problem can be corrected w/o a new video card, argghhh.

    Did you install the newest drivers from Nvidia?

    Yes. I went to the website, downloaded and installed the updated drivers. Didn't help though.
