Windows 7 - Vista Games Font Problem

I have been using Vista for a couple of months.
Recently I encountered a problem with Vista games.  The games (Mahjong
Titans; Minesweeper etc) have lost their fonts.  Titles  and tips have now
very large fonts which do not fit in game screens/pop up tips.
I would appreciate if I can get help to get the original fonts back.
I am using the latest Nvidia drivers for my system (GeForce 7800GTX SLI)

Thanks

I have the same problem.  I am using the latest nvidia drivers so not to sure
why it is not working.

Dorth,

I have solved the problem.  Do you have Nvidia nTune installed.  If yes,
open the Control panel. Go to "Adjust Image Settings With Preview".  Choose
the problem the setting was on  "Use my preference emphasising QUALITY".

Regards

Joe

I had the same problem, but did not bother look into it for a long time.
This worked 'like a charm' again!
Thank you for the post! Very useful!

Great! Finally a solution! Thanks.

But how come I couldn't find this on any troubleshooter wizard or FAQ? I
mean, this is exactly the kind of stuff that one would expect to be there,
and based on how old the previous messages in the chain are, there's been
plenty of time to update help files with this info.

XP "All Programs" "Games" not available on Vista Windows 7 I can't find the games on Vista as above which are online (some) and very popular on XP. These games available on as follows: Free Cell, Hearts, Internet Backgammon, Internet Checkers, Internet Hearts, Internet Reversi, Internet Spades, Minesweeper, Pinball, Solitaire, Spider Solitaire. It is possible for me to copy from XP C: \ Program Files \ "MSN Gaming Zone \ Windows \ numerous games .exe file" and run on Vista? If not is it possible to purchase this game set for Vista and use as on XP? Thanks for your help.
