Unwanted color between letters of text

Windows XP Pro SP3
Mainly I see it in Windows Explorer GUI and Windows text. Between the
letters "i" and "l", usually lower case, there appears an orange
color. Happens on desktop icon text, too. I have installed and
uninstalled MS Clear Type and tried all the adjustments in the
program. I've tried different font sizes in Display properties. I have
a 23.5 inch LCD monitor set to native resolution of 1920X1080 and,
yes, the graphics card can handle that quite well. I've noticed this
on another machine in the house that is running only SP2, so I don't
think it's a bad update file. Everything else looks just fine. It
doesn't see to affect other programs, at least none that I remember.
I'm typing this in Agent, black on white, and no problem.

The word "file" for instance would have an orange color filled in
between the i and l. It don't hurt nothin', but it's annoying as hell!
I've tried google, but no joy, mainly 'cause I don't know what the
heck to call it!!

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
