Windows games - hint window text too large

I'm running vista 64 home premium and I have noticed that on a number of
windows games the hint windows are dispalying over large fonts so you cant
read the entire hint.
for example in freecell when you try to move a stack of cards thats too
large the hint window is supposed to tell you how many cards you are able to
move at that moment, but that part of the message is off the egde of the
window.
Ive noticed this with all the card games the mahjong game even the kids game
Purble place.
Ive tried adjusting the fonts dpi setting and even the advanced setting from
personalizations. any Ideas?

thanks

RE: Windows games - hint window text too large


I am having the same problem with Vista 32 bit: some fonts are too big to be
readable in some windows games. I think the problem is recent, probably since
service pack 1 or some update.

Thank you to anyone who posts a solution.

RE: Windows games - hint window text too large

I had the same problem.
Text was big and in black and grey.
After reinstalling the factory back-up file, the problem was over.
Hint text and names now in normal font.
