Project - Blurry and Inverted Black/Blocky Areas

I am new here so please go easy on me!

 

I am an estimator for a Building company and I am trying to resolve an issue with Project, I have sopken to our IT and they say its a new computer needed because of the Graphics Card, I am not sure this is the case as all other software works and changing my laptop is not a 10 minute job is its got proprietory software on it, anyhow the issue can be see in the attached screenshots.

 

The laptop is upto date and has all correct drviers installed.  I've tried compatibility modes, low res, everything I can think of but no joy!

 

Its a Dell 7737.

 

Any help would be appreciated.Blacked out inverted and Blurry textBlacked out inverted and Blurry textBlacked out inverted and Blurry text

    Resolution:  Integrated Graphics card settings

    I had the same issue w/ JUST Project, and it was not easy searching for others with same issue & finding a solution. Your screenshots were very helpful !
     
    See the setting I changed to resolve - I had an Intel HD Graphics controller. 
    When I turned OFF  the CONSERVATIVE MORPHOLOGICAL ANTI-ALIASING,  It fixed the issue with MS Project.  


    SEE PICS BELOW

    In case image does not come through... 
    -type in at start search bar "Graphics Settings" -  if the Project does not appear browse for the loation of Project:  "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINPROJ.EXE"  and set it to appear. 
    -Now set to high performance

    For me to get to the setting:  
    -Next Task is to find your graphics controller setting and turn anti-aliasing off.  
    Goto SETTINGS  - >   DISPLAY  on left side ->  scroll down and click on DISPLAY ADAPTER PROPERTIES FOR DISPLAY 1   - >  on pop-up screen it lists your Adapter type, here it was my Intel HD Graphics card CLICK TAB Intel HD Graphics Control Panel -> Click GRAPHIC PROPERTIES.... goto 3D settings ->  turn off ANTI_ALIASING
    all other settings can still be High Performance.

    Also you may be able to see the Display Controller if you right click on task manager and see its icon there.
