I just noticed something odd about the "Start" button on the bottom left of

my Windows XP screeen. It apears the bottom half of the word "Start" is

shifted slightly to the left and out of line with the upper part of the word

"Start". The word no longer has a smooth appearance, almost like it has

been pushed to the left a pixel or two. Everything else appears normal. Any

ideas or comments?

 

thanks, Bob

    Sounds like a video driver problem.

    I updated my video driver but the problem persists.

     

    It is only the word "Start" and not the Windows symbol that appears

    alongside the word.

    Any 3rd party theming apps installed? Is this a recent issue? If so try a

    system restore to before the problem occurred.
