Missing Text

I am missing text in certain areas. I suspect either corrupt windows and or new software conflict as NVIDIA techs suspect.
This problem appeared first when I opened my NVIDIA control panel. I was missing text in the left side menu, but could access and use them if I left clicked in the place they were supposed to be.
Then I noticed the text for my 2 other drives were missing in the system tools/ defrag page. I can left click in the area the text [describing my drives] are supposed to be and can defrag as usual

Last night I noticed that some text during an a software installation, was missing. The usual "Next", "Back", or "Finish" boxes were empty but if left clicked on, could be used.


I tried to repair Windows. After booting, I did not get a repair option selection. It only ran through an installation process.

You need to watch for a message that comes up to press F2 (I think it was) when going through the installation procedure.

If you didn't go ahead with it, try a virus scan and spyware scans, and possibly a hijackthis scan. AVG for antivirus, and spybot for spyware.
