Font smoothing problem

Reece · 09-25-09, 07:13 AM

Every now and then when I exit a game the desktop font (infact all other windows applications) is corrupted and almost unreadable, not sure what the problem is but a guess would be font smoothing, I was going to show a picture but the funny thing is it appears ok when taking a snapshot, the desktop font looks stuffed but a snapshot of the fonts look ok, that's weird!!!

Anyone come across this problem and knows how to fix this, so far the only thing I can do when this happens is restart windows (XP Pro).

Unfortunately I can't make it happen, just does it once or twice a week.

Thanks.
