I apologize for mentioning the Accessibility section: it
would appear that you reviewed these settings.
I experienced this problem previously and it was due to
the driver for my video card not being functional.
Sometimes video driver updates cause more problems than
they solve. There may also be a compatibility issue with
your monitor attached to his video card.
I thought of this after my earlier post.
