Can't read buttons in fullscreen

Thanks too Mark's help the other night I finally got my TorqueDemo running in fullscreen mode.
My first task to tackle was to be GUI creation. However I very quickly ran into a problem here. When I open the GUI editor in fullscreen mode everything is ok. As soon as I click on any and I mean any button / menu all the printed words on the screen become distorted.
Meaning if I click on newGui control etc... I can't read any of the choices. I can't read anything on the screen at all. Even if I back out of the GUI editor the main GUI for the FPS starter kit has the same distorted text that can't be read.
The only way to fix it is to completely shutdown the torque demo and re-run it and before starting the GUI editor I set it to windowed mode.
Any ideas what is causing this?

Thanks mark. I've been working through the minapp tutorial plus i have the 3d gammer book. I also had the latest drivers for my vid card. Just didn't understand why all the text distored, but I do not have that problem with the new card so all is well :)
