I'm sorry if this isn't the right sub-forum for this question. I wasn't really sure where to put it.

My problem is that for some reason, in applications where you can check boxes, the checks don't show up. Strange, I know... but that's the problem.

Here's a screenshot of the problem. Notice how the boxes under "Show the following volume controls" are checked, as those are showing below, but checks don't appear in the boxes. No matter how many times I click them checks don't appear.

I also have this problem in Windows Scanner and Camera Wizard. It allows you to check the pictures that you want to upload, but when I do checks don't appear, forcing me to memorize which pictures I have checked and which I haven't.

I started having this problem when I installed the nVidia 93.71 drivers. Has anyone else had this issue with the 93.71 release?

I'm about to roll back the drivers, but I was just curious if I was alone on this.

Thanks.
 
I tried reinstalling the 93.71 drivers and tried the 93.81 beta drivers and nothing fixed it.

I guess all that's left to try is to roll back to the 84.25 release.
 
How are you changing drivers? Are you using Driver Cleaner Pro after uninstalling the drivers?

Unplug modem, uninstall nvidia display drivers, restart to safe mode and run driver cleaner, reboot and install new drivers.
 
I'm sorry, you're not going to believe this. I'm on a roll with stupid mistakes this week.

For some reason when I updated drivers it selected 16 bit color by default, which somehow kept the checkboxes from working. I just switched it to 32 bit and they work again. :eek:
 
Wow, that's really odd. I'll definitely remember that one if it comes up again :D
