See "How to Restore the Operating System to a Previous State in
Windows XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=306084). If you cannot
find and start SR from your normal account, boot to the Safe Mode and
try from here. Or see "How to Start System Restore Tool From a Command
Prompt in Windows XP" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=304449).

This usually happens when we fiddle with System Fonts. Not all fonts are
but many you wouldn't expect to be are.
