[Lee Keel]

I am using ms4w 2.2.6.
And commenting out ANGLE FOLLOW did not resolve either problem.

strange...
what version of mapserver are you using?
can you (temporarily) turn off the angle follow of your labels and
report if you're still having the same output problems

Tim is pointing out that if you're viewing an interlaced output image, the first, alternating set of scanlines will be displayed and then your browser will start again at the top of the image, filling in the alternate interlacing lines.  This will cause the top of the image to appear complete while the bottom is "blurry".  You can see variations on these visual artifacts depending on your browser, and the effect is more pronounced over a slow connection.
