1. Step Download and install ClearType Switch 1.0. It is available here.

2. Step After installation, launch ClearType Switch.

3. Step Now uncheck Enable smooth edges for screen fonts. This will disable Anti-aliasing and cleartype text.

The “ClearType Switch” program simplifies the process of disabling anti-alaising and cleartype text without wasting your time in wizards that adjust cleartype text in Windows 7.
