Hello:

HTH,
O.J.

If you suspect it to be a (WinMe) registry issue AND (as you seem to imply)
the missing text problem has happened only fairly recently, you could try a
System Restore (assuming your SR points go back far enough) and see if that
corrects the problem.

NB. depending on how far back you need to go could affect any modifications
(hardware/software) you've made to your system since - you may have to
're-do' them.

FWIW - Looking back over previous WinMe NG posts, very few font related
issues seem to have been fixed by any suggestions offered except a fresh,
clean WinMe re-installation.

At one point she said to have done an SR, I believe, which means the only
thing left would be a fresh, clean re-install. That seems to be quite
radical to me, since only Spybot is affected, don't you think, Mart, and
what's your take on that?

Back to a time when nellie was *absolutely certain* that Spybot's text was
working correctly?

AFAWK !!

.... and

see my previous FWIW comment.

However, to prolong the agony, I suppose another possibility is to confirm
that ALL remnants of Spybot (folders etc.) are deleted after uninstalling
it. And, search the registry and delete all references to Spybot - but
poking about in the registry goes with the usual health warning. But no
guarantees at the end of it.

Hence my previous observation - and its probably quicker than faffing about
trying to fix it - unless nellie can just live with it.

The topic has now been unresolved for almost a week - a clean install of
WinMe only takes a day - and that includes backing up important data and
re-installing all non-WinMe applications! And the bonus of a clean, lean
machine again too.

If I was paying, I know which option I would choose g

Mart:

I do declare my submission and shall refrain from any further involvement.
Along the way I had my share of problems with 'Spybot', but none of them so
serious as this. They could all be fixed with the methods already mentioned
before.
On hand of the given info here, nellie should be able to make up her mind.
I admire your patience.

Harry.

remember you said something about 'it may come back to haunt us'?
If it weren't for my patience, I might not be here today.
But by grace we all are and that's good, isn't it? H.

Plenty of patience mixed with a good helping of humour are essential
ingredients in the WinMe news groups, Harry. And talking of haunting, did
you ever dump that old 'reference' hard disk?
