Nicolas,

I've had similar problems with touch screen drivers dialogs... I resolved
the problem by using an application called resource hack (reshack... just
google that one) which allows you to open the EXE, DLL or CPL files and
browse to find the dialog box that is giving you the problem. What is really
useful is under each dialog is a list of all the fonts name that are used by
the dialog. In my case i had to install MS Sans Sharif.
