  1. Tiny multi colored text popping up on my screen. Virus?


    Hi. I hope this is OK to ask here.
    Recently when opening firefox, suddenly, cubes of tiny (5 pt or close) multi colored text popped up all over my desktop from wall to wall. it was too quick to read, ans some of the blocks were oriented sideways. then, poof! gone.
    I am considering that this might be a graphics card malfunction, but I have not been able to recreate it.
    Has this heppened to anyone else or does anyoneknow what this is?
    Thanks!

  2. Even with ClearType off, Text in system apps is multi colored.

    Hi. I'm struggling to remove that weird multi-colored text that, in the past, has been associated with sub-pixel anti-aliasing like Clear Type.

    Here's an example:

    Tiny multi colored text popping up on my screen. Virus? [​IMG]


    I've tried two things with no improvement:
    1) Turn off ClearType in the ClearType Text Tuner
    2) Turn off "Smooth edges of screen fonts" in the Performance Options control panel.

    Where else can I go to turn this off? It looks like garbage!

    • Select Color.
    • Turn "Automatically pick an accent color from my background" Off and select the color which you wish to have.
    • Turn "Show color on Start, taskbar, action center, and title bar" On.

    If you want to change the taskbar's text color, follow the steps below:

    • Go to Settings and select Personalization.
    • Select Color and click on High contrast settings.
    • Now select the color of your wish and Apply.

    Hi George,

    For us to properly isolate the issue and provide the suitable solution to your concern, we need additional information:

    • Are you referring on the computer's default text color?
    • Is it the text color on the browser or website?
    • When did this issue occur?
    • Have you tried setting the High contrast?

    We'll look forward on your response.
