Tool/Symbol Text greyed out

Hey all,
After running this problem by Ralf, he couldn't replicate it or offer a solution. So, I'm turning to you guys:
Since installing update 10, the text labels? for symbols, sheet names, layer names, command line prompt has gone very light grey--so much so I can barely read them. This only occurs on Mike Schley overland style. HW style, all text, etc, is normal (blue I think and easily read). I've tried reinstalling update 10 and done the repair bit, but no help.
If anyone has an insight or solution, would appreciate

1. Graphics driver up to date?
2. Configured to system to anything other than standard? Like accessibility options, font sizes, other sizing things, etc.?
Installed a new graphics card the other day and the latest drivers for it.
All the rest you mention is standard.
I just did a full repair on CC3+ and the problem is still there.

1. Uninstall the Mike Schley add-on.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Reinstall the Mike Schley add-on.
4. Reinstall the Update 10 (I don't know if it addresses anything in the Schley pack, so this may be unnecessary).
See if that helps.
Not sure how to uninstall the Mike Schley add-on? It came with my copies of CC3/CC3+.
thanks

Where did you install CC3/+ ? How did you install it - as "you" or as "Administrator," and if "you" are not an Administrator, have you tried to use the program as an Administrator? What I'm getting at is maybe it is a permissions thing?
Typically, I run as admin on all my progs, but just opened CC3+ as admin. No changes. Now I'm getting wonky random node errors by using fractalise.
Man, this has been a bad update for me. I wonder, what if I uninstall the whole thing and reinstall from the site?

However, note that after repair and reinstall, now the toolbar buttons are very small. Going to view>toolbars> check for large toolbar buttons does nothing. I've put in a support ticket already, but am being told there is no solution.
Cal
Removed and reinstalled from the site. I'm at 3.74 now. Just the update 10 is required eh?
thanks
Cal
PS: no, the greyed out text on MS style is NOT fixed even on version 3.74. On the HW style, all toolbar/symbol/sheet/layer text is normal: black text on beige background. However, the small toolbar buttons have been restored. Will go ahead with update 10 again.
thanks
reinstalled and back up to update 10
toolbar buttons are restored but they were on 3.74
MS style: still have the issue where the text is grey so I can barely read it
HW style functions normally
So, now I have no idea what to do. Other than never use the Mike Schley style that is.

As to the other question, I could set up a FastSupport meeting and take a look at your PC if you are amenable to it - pending the answer above...
Yes, all active. Yet I hasten to add that these have never interfered in any of the updates so far.
Also, I am not quite sure I have all the default terrains for MS style. 'Snow' for instance, is not available while another Mapper on here seems to have used that for one of his maps in the MS style. Also, when I choose the style for terrain, it allows me to choose HW style
but every type I choose merely shows as the default green 'land'. This is the first time I've tried the Mike Schley style so I don't know if this is normal or not.

Disable your A/V & A/M and uninstall CC3/+.
Restart the computer.
Disable the A/V &a A/M again.
Reinstall CC3/+.
Odd behavior like you are seeing is a result of those resources not being available to the program. This can be due to simply missing, permissions not correct, or blocked by A/V, or botched install due to A/V blocking. Hardware and viruses are another possibility but I think not likely as you are not seeing issues elsewhere.
If you are using CC3 strictly, I think Update 11 is current, whereas Update 10 is current for CC3+. Be sure to keep A/V & A/M disabled until all the installations are complete. Be sure to run the updates last.
