WindowsFX 5 Beta not showing tabs or text

The tabs and some of the text on the configuration menus are invisible.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it still happens.  The effects seem to work perfectly if I guess at the controls.

 

I can't figure out how to get screen caps attached to this forum so I will submit a support ticket.

Make sure that in your ticket you include your graphics card, OS, number of monitors.  Thanks!

Yes the graphics card is very important.  We had an issue with nvidia optimus drivers but worked around those, but it may be there are some other buggy drivers out there.

How do I updat my ticket?  I just see the ticket ID, my name, etc.

 

But my graphics card is the build in graphics for a HP Touchsmart 5xx series.  Device manager says Mobile Intel (R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family,

Running Win7 SP1.

It is an all in one, touchscreen computer so only one monitor.

The effect seem to work fine.  Its the configuration selections that do not show up.  To me, it would be effects that the onboard graphics would not keep up with.  The static text doesn't take any processing power.

 

And it is only the text on the tabs and the lines with a circle that can be checked that do not appear.

Did it work before or is this a new install?   What OS?  What version of WFX?

If you are running a WB, try switching to another one. If that doesn't do it, you may want to uninstall WFX, run a clean up program like CCleaner and reinstall WFX.

My understanding was this was resolved during the beta process.

When did you install WindowFX?
