| David,
| In notepad the font was 'Symbol Regular'.
| I changed it to Times Roman, closed it, and when I reopened it, it was
Times
| Roman. Does that mean it will stay? I also tried my scanner again, but
it
| still is using Symbol.
|
| Thanks, Eileen
|

Eileen:

Thank you for 'Symbol Regular' however what is the disk file name ?

I looked on my PC and could not find 'Symbol Regular'.

Do a search of the complete Registry on the text; Symbol Regular

Do NOT take any action but takle note of the full path to the key in the
Registry and the
name of the key and please with that information.

I don't know if I can explain it properly. :-(

But that is the next step.

Search for occurrences of; "Symbol Regular" and "Symbole.fon"
and note their locations. Then compare their locations to to the settings of the Registry
of a known good WinME PC. That may provide information.

Start -- run
type; Regedit

Put the cursor at the most Root Level (my computer)
From the Pull-Down men; Edit -- find
type; Symbol Regular

Then you would have to note all the locations where it was found.

{ sorry, the following example is from a Win2K platform, the platform I use to post/read
UseNet News Groups. This example is to show what is needed, it is NOT an example of what
exactly or nearly what YOU will find }

Example:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
^^^ The above represents the full path to a Registry key.

Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGA res)
^^^ The above represents the actual Registry key where the txt was found.

Then you would repeat the process...

Put the cursor at the most Root Level (my computer)
From the Pull-Down men; Edit -- find
type; SYMBOLE.FON

It is possible to copy and paste the text out of the Registry.

Do NOT make changes in the Registry. Mistakes in the Registry can be fatal to the OS !

David,
Typing 'Symbol Regular' found nothing.
Typing 'SYMBOLE.FON" got Symbol 8,10,12,14,18,24 (VGARES). "SYMBOLE.FON"
That was all the info.

That doesn't tell me where, in what hive, was that Registry key found.

As in my example --
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

The hive is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE (Aka, HKLM )

When I went to Registry Editor and typed in Symbol Regular, nothing came up
on the right side of the window, it was blank. The titles for that window
are "Name" and "Data"... So below is what I got for Symbole.Fon.
