Sometimes widdling with the font smoothing settings helps a bit - when I switched to a flat panel my eye strain got somewhat better, because I was no longer dealing with screen refreshing, but the fonts looked blurry until I screwed around a bit. The new default MS Word font is almost as pain-inducing as the new toolbar thingy, because it's supposedly optimized for flat screens. Flat screens and perfect vision maybe.
Anyway in XP the setting is under display properties/appearance/effects...I use the True Type smoothing and it makes it a tiny bit more comfortable.
