Text problems
I am having some problems with the text display on my computer. Anything
that doesn't involve a program appears as gibberish (for example, www.microsoft.com might read as þòC1ÖN§×e??. I would appreciate any assistance that you would be able to give. Thank you in advance. |

I am having the same problem...for the second time in recent months. Did you
solve the problem? If so, what did you do? Thanks. "Lord Geos" wrote: I am having some problems with the text display on my computer.

Since LG never came back to us, we don't know whether he got his problem
sorted or not (but it doesn't appear to have been answered here) Two things spring to mind as possibilities.... 1) you've changed the system font somehow 2) malware let's take the second one as being most likely..... You may have a virus/spyware hijack download the Stinger from here and run it to make sure that A-V-disabling viruses are not present on your PC http://download.nai.com/products/mca...rt/stinger.exe - update your virus scanner and run a full system scan of all files. Reboot to Safe Mode and run CWShredder - to remove variants of the CoolWebSearch hijacker. http://www.merijn.org/cwschronicles.html Use CWShredder, the removal tool: http://www.merijn.org/files/cwshredder.zip http://www.merijn.org/files/CWShredder.exe http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads...CWShredder.exe http://www.zerosrealm.com/downloads/CWShredder.zip download AdAware from www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to remove spyware, adware, and other such nasties from your system. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "rdh1121" wrote in message news I am having the same problem...for the second time in recent months.
