Hi,
Yesterday I finally took the plunge and upgrade my Win2K installation to Windows XP (didn't format first). I also upgraded my graphics card to an Radeon 8500 at the same time. At the moment I am using a fairly old XP driver from ATI but I am in the process of trying to find out what is the best driver to use.
In the meantime I am having two strange font corruption problems. On the Windows Start Menu the fonts look fuzzy (kinda like when you are running a laptop LCD screen on a non standard resolution). Also, I use CoolMon (which should work under XP) to monitor the stats on my desktop and the fonts on that are also currupted.
Someone suggested it could be ClearType but I have tried enabling/disabling it to no effect. The icon text fonts are fine.
Any other suggestions?
Edit : I am now using the latest unofficial Radeon 8500 driver and the problem still persists. Suggestions?
