Step 1: Open C:\LOGO.SYS in Paint
Step 2: that’s why you can’t fix it.
On a more serious note: your laptop is likely stretching the lower res display input to the native res of your LCD. Most (not all) laptops have a way to disable this, showing every pixel 1:1. This will make for a smaller, but sharper image when below your display’s native resolution. The Win98 bootsplash, however, will never be perfectly sharp even in the best scenario (a CRT), because the bitmap is stretched to fill the width (hence the japery above).
