System font and buttons currupted

Hi, everybody

I recently encountered an anoyying problem. After I
visited some website, the system font and buttons are
changed. Specifically, the system font on desktop(but font
on taskbar remains normal) is changed into a smaller but
bold font whicjh is hard to read, so is the font in the
treeview and list view of the file explorer(font in the
menu bar remains normal).

Another problem which occured concurrently with the font
problem is that some system button look wierd. For example
the window resizing buttons(hiding, closing) are displayed
with stranged icons, the closing button should be a cross,
but now it displays a number. So is the scrolling bar
control, instead of displaying the arrow, it displays
number. The radio button and check box in dialogues(even
in some web page)are replaced with starnged bitmaps.

I know that it must be that the system resources like font
and buttons are disrupted. I've tried system restore, but
it doesn't fix the problem. and I don't want to reinstall
system and other application software all over again. I
wonder if anybody know how to recover this. IS there
anyway to set up or change the system font and buttons?

Any input will be deeply appreciated.


Sincerely

Jackie

Did you check your font settings?
Those would be under Start Settings Control Panel Display Appearance
tab

Seems to be allot of this around. further info is
hehttp://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q134861
Yes, the same info applies to ME, but before you go trying to restore the
font, it is in a different place on the CD and the extraction process is
different. Try grabbing TweakUI and using the repair fonts button:

akUI.asp
Follow the install procedure closely, and carefull with some of the
options, the weren't made for ME.

Hi, eric

I actually tried that. It only changed the font of the
taskbar and window menu bars etc. It has no effect on the
font on desktop as well as those in explorer. Thanks for
your tip though.

Hi, Mike


It was amazing that you helped me fix the problem. It
works. In my case, I only need to delete the tempary file
Ttfcache under Windows folder.

Thanks a lot
