Unreadable fonts

[David Shoop]

I have windows 2000 professional. I turned on my computer
and the font was changed on my desktop and the font within
programs is completely unreadable. It looks like blocks
and circles and such. I reformmated my computer and for a
little while it was fine. Then I turned my computer back
on and it is the same problem.

Any Ideas???

Sounds like the problem to me....I'm gonna personally try
it on my PC which I'm experiencing the identical problem.
W/B with results.

Oh I don't know. If you install a new op sys and this issue rears its ugly head AGAIN, then my verdict is you installed some software in both versions (lives) of your op sys that is cauing this issue. I doubt it is hardware as long as you have hardware that is compatible with Windows 2000. This is usually determined if when you install Windows 2000 you are never queried to install any drivers of any kind. Everything is PNP and FOUND during the installation.

I am having the same problem. Cannot read any of my emails, cannot use most of my programs because the fonts have all been changed to symbols. Can copy fonts from my back up to fonts folder in Control Panel, but everytime I reboot fonts disappear again. Actually, I do not even have to reboot. Fonts seem to disppear overnight.

Did you ever figure out how to fix the problem?
