Weird graphics issues just got even weirder

I'll try to explain this as best I can...
Before the latest update (ever since re-installing Windows and Buzz):
* The bar at the top, with all the buttons and counters and such, was a bit enlarged. I never figured out why, but it looked like the icons had been stretched to fit a larger size setting (a setting I don't recall making at any point).
* When I would click the background in Machine View and type, to bring up the machine auto-search window, this window would appear somewhere other than where I clicked. If I'd click too far down or to the left or right, the search would appear off screen.
* Built-in pattern editor has over sized font, looks really weird.
I tried uninstalling and re-installing Buzz again last week. This made no difference. The issues persisted.
How it looks after the latest update (since today):
* The bar with the buttons appears to have shrunk down (although there still appears to be some stretching going on with the icons on the buttons), and the text on the time counters is still over sized, but the spacing is not proportional, so the numbers and letters are stuck together and hard to read. In fact, nearly all text in Buzz is like this now. Even the menus are hard to read. It seems only the title bar and machine names (on the machines, but not in the lists) are normally spaced (though I haven't looked absolutely everywhere).
* The quick search window still does that annoying thing it did before, so the only difference there is that now it's also barely readable.
* Built-in pattern editor still looks as weird as ever.
Anybody else having this problem? Anybody got the slightest clue what's causing it? Anybody know how to fix it?
I'm on Windows 7.
