I have installed "Instant DVD Recorder" software from Pinnacle. When I start
the software I see the buttons, check boxes, etc and they seem to function
when I click on them but there are no captions (labels) on the screen for
them. I have installed the latest and greatest supposedly for XP, even in the
safe mode. The technical support for Pinnacle has not been helpful. I think
this is a problem with my desktop though, because the same software on my
laptop with XP pro sp2(same as desktop) works ok.
Thanks for the help!
 
Installed what 'latest & greatest'?

Pinnacle software is sluggish, try "watchhdtv" at
http://watchhdtv.net/program.aspx it lets you watch and record HDTV. FWI
it's a little hard to set up but runs much more smoothly than Pinnacle
software.

Edit,
My previous post refers to a Pinnacle HDTV card or USB HDTV tuner, if not
please disregard my post.

I can do the updated drivers, but why would 1 software prpogram not show
controls and all on my desktop be ok? This has nothing to do with recording
or viewing the video.
Thanks

Is there some windows setting that would keep some labels from showing up in
a program?

I applied new video drivers, didn't solve problems. An there is no " turn the
text off" setting.
Any more ideas please
