  1. Strange text in some system displays


    I have just noticed that in a few displays I have strange text/fonts being used. See pictures;

    I haven't checked every page for this error.

    It doesn't seem to appear in applications themselves.

    I have reset the font, language and restarted the computer a couple of times with no change. I have an antivirus program which is upto date.

    Any Ideas?

    :)

  2. Fuzzy display that goes away if text is selected or refreshed


    Hello,
    I have a strange issue, this started about a week ago after Creators' update. I have the system to auto-update all software and features from Microsoft. All drivers are up to date. I have manually installed the latest display driver for this laptop.
    Issue:
    • When I have many windows open, the display crumbles only in selected parts of the screen as shown in the attached picture.
    • This flickering doesn't happen in safe mode (with networking).
    • Doesn't happen with a live USB linux session either.
    • This is reversed upon selecting the text (for example in a webpage or a word processor document).

    System specs: Windows 10, founders update. Intel 4 series express chipset (Centrino processor) with 5gb of ram running windows 10 creators update.

    Solutions tried so far with no success:
    • Text scaling and DPI scaling,
    • installing various drivers including Windows 7 drivers for this display,
    • Going to safe mode, uninstalling the driver and deleting it and restarting,
    • uninstalling most of the programs and features (except MS office and a few other essentials)
    Can anybody help please?
    thanks and best regards

  3. Increasing text in an image

    Happy Holidays everyone!

    I downloaded a picture from the internet and it's a step-by-step guide to installing Arch Linux.

    It's a large picture, but the words are very tiny. When I tried printing it out, the words were even smaller. Is it possible to enlarge the text?

    I'd like to print it out, because I plan on installing Arch on three different systems. To me, this is very handy
