after installing new drivers for my video card (geforce mx440se 64mb) i started having troubles with my visual style and other visual settings. first of all, all the buttons (ie the close, minimze and maximize button) went from a nice orange to a wierd blue colour. also in some applications (ie wmp and some website) the text seems to overlap. i got rid of the drivers, but the problems remained. anyone have any idea on how to rectify the problem??
already checked all of that, everything seems to be fine. the only things wrong, shown under the "themes" and "appearance" tabs, are the minimize, maximize and close buttons, which i already mentioned, are a wierd blue colour. i tried to change it, but i cant figure out how.
any idea on how to fix it?
