Is This A Driver Problem ?

[Riddler]

On certain menus & windows I get text that's cut off & missing....any ideas why ?

[DWk]

dont think so. what resolution do you use? if you are using 1024x768 (at least) then its not a problem...just bad designing of the card properties

have you changed text size?

you may want to try:
right-click on desktop ->properties and on the appearence tab select font size and set to normal

[Riddler]

Thanks for the responses !

@DWk...........res is set to 1024 X 768, tried other settings....same thing occurs.

@ObiWan...........font size is set to normal, tried all the others...same thing.

I guess a new video card is needed, huh ?

Im on 1280x1024, and I cant see any W's

it must be a font or size setting option somewhere,

also try right click,l desktop, >properties>settings> advanced, the have a look at the dpi setting, should be 96

Right-click desktop, select Properties. Select the Appearance tab and click Advanced.
Play around with the settings there.

@ Livy.............96dpi, check. Same thing.

@ Smurfette...........The funny thing is, the settings I think I need to change in " advanced " are located in the ATI sub-menus ( see screen shot above ) and all those windows come up with missing/cut-off text. Some of the more critical ones are even missing the OK/APPLY buttons !

I can't see the pictue (or many avatars) now even though it was there last night because my isp's DNS seems to be flakey ATM!

Well, that's it for me; it doesn't matter how good their chipsets get I'm not going to touch or recommend anything ATI if they're gonna put standard Windows stuff in their own panels.

Edit: Heh, now the pic's back for me :-/ Have you asked on an ATI board?

[Livy]

never had anything like this on my ati card.
how did it happen? did it just appear like that one day, or was it after u installed something, or changed something etc? is it only the card properties like that? or other windows?
