Scandoublers sometimes take a little while to warm up, and the picture won't be perfect until it does so. Maybe it just wasn't warmed up until you had got in to the game? Try leaving it on a fuzzy screen without touching the Amiga and see if the picture gradually improves by itself.

I think that another factor is the lack of interlace, so if a particular game or part of a game relied on interlace originally, it may look weird due to flicker fixer turnung it off by default.

That woudn't explain why the same screen looked fuzzy, then looked ok when he went back to it. It's the same screenmode both times, so if it was an interlace problem then it should look the same both times.

As I said the way to test this is to start it from cold, get to a screen which looks fuzzy, then just leave it. If it is in fact due to the scandoubler needing to wam up, then the screen will improve by itself. Let us know if this is the solution :-)
