I forget why, but I decided to reinstall after not playing for a while and this is what happened. All text (except what pops up in those windows), item icons, and colors are messed up.

I've played through and beaten the game without any problems before.

So far I've resarted my computer, downloaded the latest video drivers (maybe what's causing it?), and raised/lowered video settings.

Hello, I found a fix for your problem and it is quite my pleasure to present it to you considering it's my first time helping someone out with a problem =D

Ok, first things first, here's my settings, and when I modded them a little it did NOT change the text glitch which I had that was IDENTICAL to yours.

Now, the following settings in my NVidia driver (poor little FX5200) got it to work.


Right click bottom righthand Nvidia Settings in the taskbar then go to the followin menu
Nvidia Display > Your monitor


Now go to the following menu

Performance and Quality settings

Under this menu you should see the following list or something close too it.

Global Settings
-------------------------
View : Basic Settings
Antialiasing settings : Application controlled / off
Anisotropic filter : Application Controlled
Image settings : High Quality ( not sure if this has to do anything with it. )
Vertical sync : Application Controlled


Now also, I don't think this should have anything to do with it, but I do have a overclocking addon to the NVidia Driver and I OCed my little gfx card a good 30 / 80 mhz. So, try those settings and see for better results and get back, I'll be checking later.

I changed the anisotropic filter and image settings and it worked! So I'm guessing the problem was with anisotropic filter. The new driver I installed must have changed the settings.

Anyway, your first time helping someone out was a success! :thmbup1: Thanks for your help.
