I have three user accounts on this machine. A few days ago we logged out of one account by clicking Log Off. Instead of the monitor going to black for only a second, the monitor remained black. However the computer was still on and functioning because it responded to the DVD/CD-ROM drive ejection button on the multi-media keyboard. So I turned it off by holding in the power button. Upon normal reboot the user account icons were vertically stretched as well as the icons on everyone's desktops. The gadgets are stretched vertically as well. Also the Vista fonts are not as clear any more; in other words the labels on the icons are not as clear, Gmail fonts are not as clear, certain websites that use normal fonts are not as clear. However the fonts, toolbars, etc. in Office 2007 programs are just fine, and the graphics in a simulator like FSX Deluxe look great. I wanted to test the simulators to see if they were affected; so I went into FSX and set every slider to max, and what's strange is that it has never looked better. I have kept the computer up-to-date on the MS updates. Many updates do not require a reboot but I usually do reboot anyway. I say this because I do not believe I rebooted the computer on the last update because Microsoft said it was not necessary. Any ideas and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. My setup is as follows: HP Pavilion Vista Home Premium (32-bit) SP1 AMD 64 Live Processor 4 Gigs RAM NVIDIA GEFORCE 7900 GS Many Thanks, Brandon |
