Text not legible in ribbons, pull downs, menus.....

[Anonymous]

I hope someone can help. I had this issue first shortly after I installed the software about a month ago. I tried to search on the support, discussion forums and such to no avail. I asked our consultant and could not figure out what it was. I ended up doing a complete reinstall and that was fine for many weeks now. All of a sudden today it was like this when I got into the software. The text is not visible in any of ribbons or pull downs. It is visible or legible in my task pane, properties box and help. Not sure what to do. Please see the attachment for a screen shot of what it looks like. I appreciate any help. Thanks - Kelly

First thing I would do.
1. Update your video card driver.
2. or New Video card.

Thanks Bill - I did just get a new computer so I don't believe that could be the reason.

Ideas & Help Needed. Still trying to figure out why my menus and text become squares. See attached image. Have had this happen 3 times now. The only thing that works to correct it that I've found is to Repair the installation. Unfortunately it doesn't last long. No reason for this. It happens after being out of the program and then get into AutoCad and the text is messed up. Any help is much appreciated. See the previous posts. It is not the video card as this is a new PC. Thank you! - Kelly

Check your windows Appearance setting for the Menu Font.
