RE: Windows text in WingDings



Stephan,
I did a system restore back about a week before it all happened and it
corrected the problem. I later realized that i was using a corrupted/outdated
version of Adobe Photoshop that i recently loaded.
I had to go to my other computer and figure out how to get to "resore" as
all was showing in wingdings.
If you don't have second computer to figure out try this;
Go to start
All programs (the very first icon above Start - if you're using XP Style)
All of your programs should show up
Then the first column of icons "Accessories" is the first icon with a ">"
(right arrow)
Go to that Icon and drop 5 icons down (which is system tools) and let it open
then all the way to the bottom of that 7 icons is System Restore.
Restore should come up in regular font

Hope that helps.
Let me know if you need more,

-Edmund
