Corrupt Alt-text / Display Driver Issue?
Hi all...my first post and a complete head scratcher...
I have an HP Compaq 8510p Laptop (T7700 2.4Ghz Dual Core, 4MB Ram, with dedicated HD2600 graphic cards. running Windows 7 Pro x64)
When I hover over any of my menu bar icons (e.g. Internet Explorer) the text buble (or Alt-text as it actually is I think) says what I am hovering over in a cream popup.
However, when I hover over the Windows "Logo/Start" icon, the Alt-text is corrupt, so much that you cannot read it at all. All other hovers are perfect as expected i.e. over the system icons etc.
I have also noticed it in MS Office in all applications (I have Office 2007 Pro installed) and in every ribbon, all icon hovers work as they should except when I open the list of font sizes from the drop-down list of values. All Font sizes are displayed in a corrupted/broken fashion, again I cannot read them.
Although I suspect it may be something to do with my ATI graphics driver, I do have the latest version installed.
As said it seems to be localised to those areas and does not seem to be getting worse or better. Totally annoying.
I have used other applications and all seems perfect, including Acrobat, COD Black Ops, Minecraft and Chrome etc.
Therefore I'm completely baffled. Any ideas/suggestions or previous experiences?
Thanks in advance.
