In light of my experience, i think you are right in that one of the problems - that with the display - could be down to your graphics card. I have just had to disable Hydravision on my ATI card for a very similar reason, only in this instance it was the task boxes in Outlook which were displaying gobbledeygook.
I have had a similar problem in the past, too, with some of the more esoteric features on Nvidia software. |
