It may be that the default system font may have gotten deleted. Check C:/Windows/Fonts. Its Italic version might be the only one remaining. Just check once.

Damn, I missed it. Hey quan, going a little offtopic here, but why don't you use the third link in my sig. It gives you a much better forum theme and takes out the ads too.

Changing your browser font in Internet Explorer.

Microsoft Internet Explorer will allow you to browse the Internet with a variety or different fonts. To change your browser font.

  • Open up Internet Explorer.
  • From the Tool menu, click Internet Options.
  • Click on the General tab (usually the default tab) and click Font Settings button at the bottom of the dialog box.
  • Now the Fonts dialog box will appear.
  • Once you are there, you can select the Proportional and Fixed-width fonts that you prefer, as well as the Character sets.
  • Make your selection and click OK to save your settings.

its simple yaar...

Right Click on desktop > Properties > Appearance > Advance >
and in that see if the fonts are Trebuchet & Tahoma and check if they are Not Italic
if italic than make them non-italic

otherwise

u need "Trebuchet MS" & "Tahoma" Font
if u dont hav it than install it in ur windows font directory

than from display properties change all fonts
change all title to Trebuchet MS & all menu bar & message font to Tahoma (total 6 changes)

LOCKED :shock:
Can b a Virus Attack, do u have Good Updated Antivirus Software (like Kaspersky), 1st Scan your PC for that
also
their can a bit of Windows Files Problem
so
insert your Windows XP CD in CD-Rom and press Windows+R Button on Keyboard (for Run)
and type
sfc /scannow
so that it can repair system files

you must do this while logged in from Administrator Account and not from Limited or Guest Account
