Problem reading User Interface font?

1

I used Flash 5 pretty well a while ago and just got Flash MX. I have looked everywhere to try and fix the User Interface font. I cannot clearly read most of the fonts on the interface or in the scroll menus. Example: When I go to add a sound file to the timeline, I scroll down my list of files I imported but the font is bearly ledgible. I read through this thread but did not see any relation to this problem. Sorry if this is a newby question, but it is driving me nuts…
