^^ It seems VGA drivers are not installed in your system. Try to install latest drivers for your graphics card.

^^ Thats the same dialog box which you are talking about. You can customize it to change look of Shutdown dialog box.

I'm really sorry to have to be so broad about this, but one of the shell32.dll, explorer.exe or msgina.dll files contains a dialog box that looks like it has 3 large square buttons in the middle row, all styled with a classic look.

I regret not knowing where it is, but if I were to edit this dialog, would the shutdown box not be much more flexible?

^^ Try to change the dialog box font to some other font and also increase its size. Edit 5th line:

FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg"

I got the buttons figured out.

Also, when I click [Alt], I can see the big white text... But I still see the black small text.

^^ click on the arrow buttons in the dialog box and use arrow keys on keyboard to move them a bit up so that they can fit in the background image.

You can do the same thing to delete the "Flag" text. Simply click on it and press Delete key.

Regarding "Good Bye" text, I have no idea why its showing in small black font.
