Windows XP introduced a number of graphics features and controls that apparently were not integrated completely into their previous graphics frameworks. Examples of these graphics problems include scroll bars and buttons on forms and windows, misplaced or wrongly sized text, and uncoordinated colors. Most of these problems stem from the use of the custom themes in XP, so users should insure that they have fonts and DPI set to NORMAL (96 DPI), and the color depth set to 32-bit. If the problem remains after making these adjustments, try setting the theme to Windows Classic or Windows Standard. All of these settings can be accessed though My Computer | Control Panel | Display.
