Hi,
Today I started up my computer and found that when I opened windows like control panel there were huge areas of solid black colour, to the point where I can't see static text on the screen, and links only show up with the mouse over them (obviously because of the change in contrast).
Here are three images which show the issue.

Has anyone seen this before and possibly fixed it?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

This look like what youre seeing?

If it is it looks like programs like codecs (ie: Shark007), iobit Game Booster or TuneUp Utilities Turbo/Economy mode can cause this

Thanks for the reply.
I actually looked at a similar thread to that one... and it's not quite the same as my problem, my issue seems to be quite a bit 'worse' than that.
If you look at the imgur links to three images in my original post you can see screenshots of the actual problem.
