The only thing that looks normal is MSCONFIG, which is one of the things I
was using prior to all hell breaking loose. All of the other programs appear
to be affected. So, it is very difficult to run anything - since I can't read
anything. The DOS window is unaffected. CHKDSK runs with no errors.

The other symptom is that I have no desktop visible (just a blue screen). I
am running stuff using Task Manager.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

Thanks,
David

Thanks Carey. But System Restore doesn't run. I get a messagebox with the
title "System Restore", three lines of gibberish, and a button with gibberish.

I suspect that system restore is using the same font of fonts that the rest
of the system is.
