Today this thing is really effecting my design…

When setting text, you have the antialiasing choice of none, sharp, crisp, strong, and smooth. (shown in the top toolbar of PS7 and CS, I can’t recall in earlier versions). I imagine you have "none" selected. Also, you may be working in too low of a resolution.

You will also find if you look at the bottom of your screen, the % percentage is not within the confines of normal viewing. Photoshop works in increments of % regarding zoom application which means 15%, 25% 33% 50% 66.67% 75% 100% , all things appear normal but 27.39% will not.

Also, as Sandy has suggested, antialiasing can affect font viewing.

And my last suggestion. Your graphics card/on-board graphics card is possibly going. Reason? If it’s only after this long,(3 Years) chances are it may be going. However, I personally don’t know how to test it.
