My nephew...a games addict did something wonderful to my system..i.e, my computer. Suddenly it started spewing a fantastic language which is not known to any humanbeing.. i am posting a pic ..of how it looks. Needless to say, all the menus come in that lingo only...
 I tried system restore, but it is not working...Checked up, and saw that restore option is ON. Hence i got no other alternative except to turn to the techie guys and gals out here...Please Help me !!!! Yes..i know that re-installing the OS is there...but kept it for last alternative..  After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Thankyou R&D..for your kind suggestions.
 i tried everything..last good configuration start..restore to another date..etc.But surprisingly none worked...one of those vagaries of OS..i think. I use Firefox...somehow never liked IE. After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

I use Firefox...somehow never liked IE. may be the font file is corrupt. get the font directory from some else with same os. backup and replace the font directory. you can also do checksum on the font files and compare with the good filesystem. Did you try another font for the system font to see if that helps like the Ariel. This post has been edited by r&d: Jun 7 2009, 01:43 AM |

Just happened to browse by this section of the forum.
R&D is correct -- the below (font file method) is what should have likely fixed the problem. Sometimes, say if you visit a website with say Devnagri or Bengali or Marathi or whatever font that your computer might not recognize...get the respective font file and it works. Sometimes, with PDF documents even (say with complex equations if it like an engineering e-book or something) -- you will not have all characters displayed properly -- same thing -- get font file (Adobe gives you error message of what font file is missing) and it works. Lastly, I think ALL font files are either in Windows folder or System32 folder -- can't remember.
