To one and all,

I have FINALLY figured this out. I stumbled onto the answer while doing 
something entirely different (figuring out a problem with my notebook 
battery). IE has a hidden feature called "scaling" which was meant to

address the readability of fonts but, through poor implementation, 
extends to graphics. By default, many Dell computers have it turned on 
while most others have it turned off. The link explains how to turn it 
off if you have a Dell:

Here Microsoft tell you how you can manually turn on this "wonderful"

feature if your OEM has not done it for you:

Many thanks to everyone who offered help.
