system fonts screw-up

[IanStJohn]

Hi

I'm running XP on a PC with nearly 800MB RAM. Over the last few months I've
noticed the fonts in Explorer and Outlook Express become corrupted after a
while so that I cannot read menu items etc ... I have no idea why and there
doesn't seem to be any way to correct this without a reboot.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Hopefully its not a virus issue - I keep
my NAV and Windows security updates up-to-date and have Zone Alarm running.
Nothing has been reported.

I have left a screen shot of OE at

Appreciate any advice/assistance.

Thanks
Ian
