AutoCAD is formatting weirdly...

This may have been addressed in the past, but I'm not sure how to phrase the issue so I'm not sure what to search the forum for.  Just installed acad 2016 on my new machine.  Windows 10.  Have a look at the screenshot, text in dialogue boxes and properties windows is huge and too big for its allotted space.  The Start panel is all screwy.  Please help me out...

Just a hunch, but, I'd start by looking at your graphics card. Is it compatible with autocad? Then what version of the driver to you have installed? If you can roll back to an older driver or update to a newer one, it might help.

Thanks for the quick replies...

 

Installed the service pack.  It helped with the start screen, not properties windows or dialogue boxes.

As for the graphics card, ive got an Intel HD Graphics 5500.  Resolution is at 2880x1620.  I messed around with different resolutions but it didn't work...

This thread might help, and also in the last reply from Autodesk.
