problem (maybe directx or textures) in games

Okay, firstly sorry if this is the wrong place to post my problem bu
I've got no idea what causes it so what catagory it would fall into...

I have:
ATI X1600
Core duo 2ghz
vista business

My problem, a little while ago i installed two worlds and to get it t
work messed around a bit, e.g. updated my directX updated the driver
for my graphics card. Now I have a problem. I'm not sure what exactl
caused it but now in games things like menus (in virtually every gam
i've tried) are unreadable they look all scrambled (thats the best
can explain it). It also applies to ome things like maps an
occasionally parts of the models (in shadowgrounds or second sight). I
even sometimes happens to the background in solitare! I've trie
re-updating both my drivers and directx but that hasn't fixed it and t
be quite frank I have no idea whats going on, it's such a wierd thin
but isn't just for one game or anything, it's mesed with them all. An
help would be awsome, I don't know if anyone else had had this problem
I've tried googling it and searching the forums but has no idea what t
search for (menus sorta messed up in games and looks all scrambled
surprisingly didn't turn up anything). Anyway it's really gettin
annoying (makes setting graphics options virtually impossible & starte
trying to play GUN, and can't read the insructions at the start).

Anyway, like I said any help would be fantastic (sorry for th
rambling)
