Vista web graphics

[bazookaman]

I've got an image on a website I'm building that looks fine on my Mac as well as in XP in Parallels. However, when my boss pulls it up, it looks like crap. Not sure how to describe it. Not bad like a lo res jpg or gif, just bad as in Vista isn't rendering this image very well. Vista is the only thing i can think of since it looks fine on a Mac and XP. the only thing different about the boss's machine is its running Vista. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this?

Can you post link? I have a Vista test PC here.

here you go...

I posted up a jpg and a gif. Funny thing is, it looks like the same crap regardless of the jpg or gif.

Just checked in XP on IE 7 and it looks fine. Let me go across the hall and I'll check on the cr@p Vista box. (all the PC dweebs here hate Vista><

I think i've narrowed it down to lightview. I'm using that for "click on the thumbnail and see the larger image" thing.

The imagetest.html looks fine on Vista. But when i pop that same image into the lightview link, it pops up looking like crap...in Vista.

Looks on Firefox on Ubuntu Linux.

Looks fine on Chrome, Safari, Firefox and IE7 on my Vista box, but I'm not a graphics designer, so maybe I just have lower expectations. Can you post a picture of what you see on your bosses computer?

I'm posting from Vista 32 bit. Both graphics look fine in IE.

Is it maybe a browser scaling issue? What size is the browser window? Have you tried to give it a defined size rather than letting the browser scale it?

It gets jaggies when I set IE 7 to display it at a custom scale.
