Foreign Language Font

F

Ferdo

I visited an IwilL.net site and it prompted me to
download a foreign language font. I chose cancel. And
now after a few minutes of browsing all the text IN THE
ENTIRE OS changes to an unreadable foreign language font!
The Start Button as well as the time settings in the
System Tray look are in a foreign language font.

I've done a system restore to a previous date.
I've checked regional settings for anything unusual. The
settings are the similar to other computers that have
WinXP.
I've updated IE 6 and checked all Advanced Options for
anything unusual.

Anyone have any Ideas?

Wondered what happens if pressed [cancel]. Always press
the corner x or task manager to end task.
Thanks for the post.

Search for all .reg and .css files in you computer.
Do not open or run any of them. If you find some with unfamiliar name let us
knwo.

These may have been used to install and start the new font.
