Tried that. Set to Win Classic, no difference. Returned to my own theme, no
difference. It really is odd. Thanks for your comments.

re: repair install. Just done this. No difference.... and the screen that
displays at the end of setup, welcoming one for the first time to XP (NOT
the login Welcome screen, which is fine) was displayed in an Old English
font. I can't say which font, since I have a few variants on this type, but
it was one of them. Arrrggghhh!!
