| Sorry to have taken up bandwidth. Found the answer.
Go to control panel, and then display / settings  and set at True Color 32 bit. 
Makes all the difference in the world compared to 256 colors!

  Subject: [OM] OT viewing one's images on screen 
  Within the last four weeks all of my on screen images have taken on a visibly 
specled almost grainy look with some separation of colours. This applies to my 
own images in process though slide scanning, being PhotoShopped, and after 
uploading or whether I am viewing images from others' web sites. The best I can 
describe my on screen look is that the images, regardless of size, have a back 
ground texture just slightly resembling the texture of needlepoint embroidery 
fabric.
  Can any one tell me what possibly ails my screen and whether Windows 98 has a 
screen tune up diagnostic anywhere.
  Thanks
  John Hudson
