Weird text glitch in volume mixer

I think you may be right, b/c I uninstalled IE9 and the glitch went away...if you dont see a reply from me again youll know the glitch has gone for good.

Just letting you know this bug or whatever it is, is still present in Windows 8. So yeah...nuff said, see attachment



But I repeat, for me the fix was in win7 and in win8, to keep deleting FNTCACHE.DAT file till those boxes never appear again! I had to delete it two times. The last time was more than a half a year ago in windows 7 and they never showed up again...until windows 8 ... but deleting that file did the trick in win8 too.

Thank you for the advice... just started the laptop today and the squares are still there. I will delete font cache again, then if that doesnt help delete ie9, because i think that's where the problem stemmed from.
If it works then I`ll get IE9 back from Microsoft's website.

Yippee, I have finally found a way to get rid of the squares!
And, it was my gut instinct that was correct. A photographic memory isn't that bad at all!!!

The solution, for me anyway, was of course, IE9. I have deleted it with no squares whatsoever, whilst playing audio. (Before, the squares were only disappeared when no audio was playing, and the mixer was opened immediately upon bootup). Now I can open the volume mixer whilst playing audio and have no problems.

I don't think that an advert on television will make me go back to IE9, because of the problems caused. (But anyway I use chrome so IE is not used anyway!)

I have IE9 (although I don't use it) and have no squares since I got rid of them...

I have not only deleted fontcache several times,but have also deleted IE9...and still have issues with the square...any advice?

I had to re-install Windows 7 for various reasons and chose not to update to IE9, so I had no squares from the start this time. It's seems very likely that IE9 is the cause.

Today the squares are back again and I don't even have IE9 installed.
I give up on trying to understanding this abomination...

Is anyone here using Office 2010?

I heard it's related to office, but I'm not so sure. If someone here hasn't installed office but had the square issue, that will put an end to that theory...

Another thing I noticed is everytime you open volume panel right after booting the system (to check if the squares are there) they don't appear, so the only thing you can do is everytime you start your pc open the volume panel right away.

Other than that, I haven't found any solution so far, and I mean it, I followed all the suggestions, from deleting font cache, temp files, uninstalling office and messing with other system files, but it never did the trick.
