Linux Mint 17.1 blurry windows


I just started using Linux Mint 17.1 and so far I like it. I just have one small problem with it, all the print goes out of focus unless the mouse is hovering over it. This just started happening a couple days ago. I know it's my fault, as my 2 year old got hold of the keyboard for 10 minutes before I realized what it was she was playing with. It seems that all the icons, windows boarders, pictures, and such are not effected, just the text. Anyway to correct this blurriness?

Okay I found the problem is my nvidia driver from this link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...s/+bug/1307236
What I have to do is delete .nvidia-settings-rc, but I cannot find it. Where is this file?

This problem still exists.
I encountered this problem recently.
Web searched were not fruitful and I opened the thread
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...-a-4175696045/

after a few hours of creating a new profile and transferring files and poking around the old profile to see what was the cause...
Hmmm, why does this bug exist?
