This is what I see:

Notice anything missing? Where do I set my project name? The text box exists, I just can’t see it! Well, according to Winston(thanks for the tip!) the solution is to turn off, or scale back the hardware acceleration. To do this, you need to navigate to Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display\Screen Resolution.

Click on Advanced settings

Troubleshoot tab\Change settings and then scale it back. I found this worked for me.

The end result, well, there isn’t much eye candy anymore, but at least now I can see what I am typing.
