Well, this is a weird one. As mentioned in another thread, I'm cleaning up someone else's PC. That's going fine but when Windows Live Messenger is run, the display is corrupted, like so:

Notice that all the text etc. is slightly distored. Look at the scroll bar button on the right! This only happens in the Windows Messenger windows, everything else displays fine.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Couldn't find anything on Google.

Hmm, it seems to happen with all Windows Live products, not just messenger. Guess I'll try reinstalling Live Essentials and see if that fixes it...

Well, it seems to be a graphics driver fault. Works OK with the default windows driver. However, a driver update doesn't fix the issue. :/
