Buttons have changed in Windows ME

all of my buttons have changed in Windows ME. The
restore, minimize, and close buttons have changed into a
O, 1, and r.
All of my checkboxes have changed too.

On IE, the button next to the BACK button has changed to a
6

Any help on how to change them back would be appreciated

Use System File Checker (SFC.EXE) to extract a new copy of the Marlett.ttf
font file from your Windows 98 CD, or the Setup (CAB) files on the hard
drive, whichever you have. Reboot after restoring the file.

Richard,

The user has Win Me and therefore no sfc.exe and marlett.ttf is protected
by Win Me's System File Protection.

Instead they need to replace marlett.ttf using the procedure set out in
MS KB 265371 - "How to Extract and Replace a Protected File in Windows
Me" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=265371) for details of how to
extract files from the cab set.

OOPS. Thanks for the correction. Since I post in both Win98 and WinMe
groups, and since this is the first WinMe group, I didn't notice the change.

Now you know why I don't try and do both. :-)

I'm waiting for the first time I post a WindowsMe answer in a Windows XP
newsgroup. Then I'll know that it's time to start wearing the bib 24/7.

Now you know why I don't post in XP groups!
