A number of users with Matrox or S3 video cards and the latest drivers have reported garbled/unreadable text on the graphic Globe display. However, a user with a Matrox card, reported turning bus mastering off in the display properties worked for him. See below: I tried changing various resolution settings – no change, looked into the whole .txf thing, turned off Suitcase font manager just in case – no change and once i understood it relies on openGL / directx thing had a look at the adved settings options for the graphics card turned off dual head – no change turned off 32-bit Z-buffering – no change Then I turned off bus mastering (right-click on the option and it explains this may cause DirectX problems with some programs) …restarted… And it worked!
