OK Let's rewrite this from the ground up.
My girl has an HP desktop with an AMD Radeon 7560D card and Windows 8. She has no visual effects on anything... unless I connect via LogMeIn and force it to use the LMI Mirror video driver. Has anyone else had issues with AMD cards and the visual effects?
Edit:
Sorted it out, the graphics drivers were refusing to update. If someone else has this issue, you have to manually update with these:
