Visual Studio Express 2013 GUI issues - c++

I am having some weird graphical issues in the Visual Studio Express 2013 edition (C++ Project) where when hovering over some things it shows an enlarged sprite over the whole window until I resize the window or move the window somewhere else and then back again.
An example of a 'normal' window (Memory 1 to be specific)
Now I will hover over a value so it shows the little hover box with the value (I am not entirely sure what this is called) but is shown in the next screenshot.
As soon as I move my cursor away from the popup box showing 00|0-> ('->' representing a pin) VS2013 freaks out and shows a very large stretched out (looks as if its a blown up sprite sheet of the characters?) across the whole window.
Things I have tried
Closed and reopened VS2013 -> still not working
Turned PC off and on again -> still not working
Uninstalled VS2013 and reinstalled -> still not working
Tried to change the font from Consolas (Default) to Times New Roman -> still not working

Qt quick applications glitching

I opened some Qt quick examples that comes with Qt and when I try to resize the window it starts to glitch.
This is an animated gif using the stoc example:

My configuration is: Windows 10, 6 GB ram, i5, and using Qt 5.5.1 64bit MSVC 2013.
Is there any way of fixing it?

Windows XP Mode loading in small screen in vmware player

I am running windows 7. I have just finished downloading and converting (using vmware converter) the Windows XP Mode vmware image to a .vmx file for vmware player.
I can then play the Windows XP image fine in VMWare player. There is however and issue where the windows xp screen inside vmware does not take up the whole screen. In face it only takes up a very small area. I've read on some forums that this might be a compatibility issue between windows 7 and windows xp.
Does anyone know how to fix this please?
Install VMWare Tools on the guest XP machine and bounce it. It contains several virtualization drivers among them one for the virtual graphic card. This allows you to dynamically change the screen resolution of the guest, just by resizing the VMWare Player window.

Blackberry simulator: can't lower graphics settings in view menu

I downloaded the simulator for BB Bold 9930 (v. 7.1) at http://us.blackberry.com/sites/developers/resources/simulators.html
My Windows VM follows the system requirements at http://developer.blackberry.com/bbos/java/documentation/the_bb_smrtphn_simulator_447179_11.html, except for one thing: OpenGL 1.x compatibility, which I can't figure out how to test (see Windows 7 on Virtualbox virtual machine: is it OpenGL 1.x compatible?).
So installing this and launching C:\Program Files\Research In Motion......\9930.bat causes the following error to come up:
"An OpenGL 1.x + compatible video card with recent video drivers is required for graphics acceleration. Please try a lower graphics acceleration setting by navigating to the view menu".
Clicking on the view menu is impossible until I click OK on the modal dialog, but when I do so, the program immediately crashes with the message "BlackBerry Handheld Simulator has stopped working".
Is there any way around (through the command line, for instance?)
You should be able to force the simulator not to use the graphics acceleration at all (which hopefully would work around your problem).
See this BlackBerry forum thread here.
Basically, just include this in your simulator config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<fledge-configuration>
<BodyBuilder::opengl-acceleration>0</BodyBuilder::opengl-acceleration>
The setting of 0 turns off graphics acceleration. You can either turn it off by default in your simulators, or just in one particular simulator, by using the fledge-saved.conf file, or 9900-saved.conf file (for example, to change the setting on the 9900 simulator).
On a Windows system, these config files would be located somewhere like:
C:\Users\myname\net\rim\fledge-2\

g3d and visual studio 2010?

I just freshly installed visual studio 2010 on my laptop and set up g3d aswell. I then opened a sample project that came with the g3d download to test if I had it set up right. The build was successful but when it came to executing the project i got this error
My laptop is new and g3d ran fine on my old laptop so i dont understand this. The new laptop however has switchable graphics. The chips that are in it are :
Radeon (TM) HD 7470M and Intel(R) HD Graphics Family
Well just in case anyone else was wondering what the answer was to this is it was a hp problem, the dual graphics card in my computer wasnt being picked up. I had to download the CCC Catalyst Control Centre and allow the programs access the radeon graphics chip in my laptop.
