Strange font style on all displayed Windows
Hi, Just bought a cheap second hand computer running ME.
The font used in all the windows and lists, everything basically, is in a different style than I'm used to. I would like to change it to the "normal" font used in XP and win98. ie; Community Newsgroups-Microsoft Int. Exp & tools edit view favs tools help all this writing is really strange! Can anyone help? Regards |

Right click on the desktop and select Properties (or Control Panel | Display),
click the Appearance tab and then select the various Items that include text (such as Active Title Bar, Icon, etc) and check that the Font used is MS Sans Serif (Western) and the size is 8 point. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP helloblondie! wrote: Hi, Just bought a cheap second hand computer running ME.
