solitaire collection display problems

Hi,

 

When I open the app on my HP nx9420 with an ATI x1600 graphics card, the programs opens up fine. Then when I click on any game like "Spider" the display becomes all pixelated and I can not read the screen.

 

It's probably something to do with my graphics card but everything other program using Windows 8 works fine.


Thanks


Stephen
