You know when you click on your name in Live Messenger? It should come
up with a menu with an 'Options' tab (Among others), but the text does
not appear!
I shall add a screenshot of the problem:

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings,

I'm thinking it might have something to do with your large DPI settings. Do you happen to
know what your DPI is set to in Windows?

Okay, sorted it
For other people who also have the problem, go to your control panel
then to personalization, then on the left there is an "Adjust font siz
(DPI)" link, go to there and set it to "Default scale (95 DPI)
After a re-start the menu text will appear; however if, like me, yo
prefer larger text in menus...

Badger the development team to sort out 120 DPI text for the menu

P.s. I've decided to keep 120 DPI, I can still use the menu, but I'm
only slightly sure about what I'm clicking on!
