MTEXT Dimmed Out - XP related?

MTEXT Dimmed Out - XP related?

(OP)

The text in a MTEXT window appears dull and faded out.  I believe the problem is realted to windows XP.  I'm currently running autocad 2002.  I was using the same version of autocad on a windows 2000 machine and there was no problem.

Is there some setting that needs to adjusted in either the display driver or a windows setting.

Several other co-workers are experiencing the same problem.


Thanks,

Thanks Exxit. I have just run into the same problem on a new machine with AutoCAD 2004.  You get a star today.
