    Question Red i's and l's

    Can anyone please explain why i's and l's appear red when the rest of the text is black?

    It's on everything I look at or read - emails, forums, word etc.

    I have a new laptop and am transferring things I want from my old desktop via a memory stick. Could I have 'something' on the desktop that's been transferred to the laptop?

    Sounds like an optical illusion. Have you tried expanding the font using control/+ or taking a screen shot and expanding it, to check the colouring?

    That didn't work.

    Here's a screenshot of what I see.

    Cute! Okay, not helpful. The only other thing I can think of trying is updating your video driver. Sorry, deffo not my area of expertise but maybe while you're trying that somebody who knows what they're talking about will wander in!

    I'm not even going to attempt that! I'll take it back to the pc shop tomorrow and see if he can sort it out.

    Thanks for the help.

    I'm not sure if this is the answer but...since changing back to 100% rather the 125% that I find easier to read the problem has disappeared.

    edit: hard drive died after 2 weeks weeks of owning new laptop.
