Vista games font problem

Hi!

I discovered a problem when starting any of the built-in Vista games. The
tip window as well as any labels have stretched fonts, so one is unable to
read completely what is written there.
Reinstalling the games did not solve the problem. I don't know whether the
problem could be DirectX-related. If needed I could post a DxDiag logfile.

I use Vista Business x64.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards,
AS

Have you found any solution? I'm with the same problem.

No, none. It is really annoying since any open-source game is maintained
better.

I am getting this on Vista Home Basic too, with Geforce 8300 GS with latest WHQL drivers.

Found a fix, go to Nvidia's control panel and set it to "let 3d application decide"

The weird fonts disappeared after that.
