in the last week text in programs such as itunes and photoshop has been
appearing in bold and looking very basic looking, look at this link for an
example:

As silly as it sounds have you checked in your display setting to see if your
colour settings are set to 32bit? Perharps one of the programs you removed
has messed up the graphic drivers along the way.
Failing that I would uninstall/reinstall your graphic drivers as it doesn't
take long to do.

Mike,

thanks for the reply. I did what you suggested. Display settings were
already at 32bit.

i uninstalled graphics driver, restarted system, then vista automatically
reinstalled driver upon restart. Restarted system again, and no luck. exactly
the same.

Now the problem is only when running certain programs such as itunes and
photoshop. general use of Vista is fine, in folders and desktop.
