Blue Screen - Then system window/font problem

[Christopher C Knapp]

Hello,

First thing was that I was getting a BSOD 0x00000050 for win2k.sys on boot. It would not get into Windows no matter what I did. I tried changing ram and video card one by one. Finally, I copied win2k.sys from another machine, back onto the problem machine. Now it lets me boot into Windows, but all of the system windows are unreadable font. This is what all of the system windows look like now, http://www.clydekirkpatrick.com/P1010007.JPG

Please tell me what I can do to take care of this. Do I need to re-install the OS, or is this a known issue that can be fixed. Thank you.

I'm sorry, that should read 'WIN32K.SYS' not win2k.sys.
