The display DPI setting isn't going to fix the fuzziness.

However, if you find things too small after you have set the display adapter to 1280x1024, then the DPI setting is the best way to correct this, IMO.

Go to the Display Properties, select the Settings tab and then push the Advanced button. On the General tab, there is a drop-down for DPI setting. The default value is 96dpi.

Set it to a higher value to make things bigger, or a smaller value to make things smaller.

You should also make sure you turn on ClearType. Go to the Display Properties, select the Appearance tab, and then click the Effects button. Check the box next to "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts", and then select ClearType from the drop-down.
