I had problems with a couple fonts after I upgraded to XP SP3, so I undid the upgrade and reverted to SP2 (not without a few problems of its own).I now notice that some of the font names in my FONT folder are mainly blue in colour with a few in black. Amongst the ones in black are those that caused problems in SP3. could anyone explain the significance of these colors?
I think this is going to be a little hard to explain but I will try. When I open a folder in My Documents,some documents show up with black font,others are white font and I can't figure out why.I have to hold the mouse over the document to see what it is.I have a folder with all my newsletter emails and some are in black font some in white.It doesn't seem to matter what the file ext. is.
I really like this font in Vista and was wondering how I could install it into XP? I was going to do it by installing the powerpoint reader 2007, but it looks like it doesn't contain the font.
The system's default font is now Wing Ding, which if you know is nothing but a bunch of symbols. I have tried to do a system restore past the date when this problem started but nothing changes. I've done a lot of searching on google but nothing has worked thus far.
I have a font problem on my Windows XP professional.When any software uses some kind of system font, it is a bit to big. Looks like it is one or two pixels to big, og maybe in bold?This error shows up in some softwares, like in buttons and some texts.Its also there when a software crash, in the window that pops up asking if I want to send the error or Microsoft.
WIN XP Sp2, IE 6 and also Firefox 1.5. For some reason all webpages fail to display any colour. It's as if the "Ignore colors specified on webpages" option in Accessibility in Internet options is checked. It isn't. Don't think it has anything to do with that option because I get the same issue with Firefox. I have removed all security software / pop up blocker software, cleared cache & cookies, restored IE defaults, and run scannow sfc to no effect. Am a little reluctant to roll back to a previous date but cannot think of any alternative solution.
It doesn't matter what colour depth I run my video card at, the icons, task bar icons and the window icon top left of every window always display in what appears to be 256 colours. Everything else is 16 bit or 32 bit, depending on what depth I have selected to run my video card at."Show icon using all possible colours" is checked in display properties. I have tried reinstalling windows to refresh any files that may be corrupt.
I have XPSP3 running on my computer and after cancelling a download of themes half way through(I know I shouldn't do that) I haven't been able to change my colours or theme. I have tried many methods from "Doug", a restore, but not yet a repair because I don't have an SP3 disk. I have copied the message I get here, any help would be appreciated thanks. An exception occurred while trying to run "C:Windowssystem32shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:WINDOWSsystem32desk.cpl",Display"
so I got on the computer, started up the Internet, and noticed the backgrounds weren't working. The text colours (like active links etc.) and normal images were working, but not any colours. Same with folders on the Desktop. So I tried to fix it, on the main Desktop I right clicked and went to properties, and changed the modified theme to Windows XP. Before I did that, the Folders looked something like this.
You can change the colors on your command prompt! It's neat that you can change the color to match your mood and personal favorite! :) Here the following on how to do this!1. Click start> All Programs> Accessories> Command Prompt. 2. When it opens, click the icon on upper left corner where say "C:" beside "Command Prompt" there will be submenu comes down. 3. Click Default then click color tab then that it! You can change colors whatever you like to match your mood, and personal.
My printer has just started not to print all the full colours. It is an all in one HP PSC 1410 and now prints everything as either Yellow, Light green or light blue. I have changed both the colour and black cartridges and the computer is seeing them as full, but if I scan or print from computer it prints say the colour purple as light yellow and red as bright Yellow etc. I have tried removing and reinstalling software but that didn't cure the problem.

For some unknown reason or cause, my internet explorer's font size became so small that it is barely readable. How can I make the font size bigger? I tried Tools>Internet Options>Fonts but its doesn't allow to change size.
Hey all. Today I just noticed that while using IE its displaying some website's in extremely small font. I run a Dell Inspiron 5150 with an external monitor hooked up. I have had UltraMon installed for a few days now, but the problem just started this evening. Any ideas?
Running XP SR2 on a new HP I am very visually impaired � I was able to increase font size in all areas except one � any help with this would be GREATLY appreciated. The area that I need to increase font size is the windows help information box � when I enter a question in Windows or any app the answer box has this TEEENY font and I just can�t see it. Is there any way to increase this font. (Would I have to reduce the resolution on my brand new LCD?) thanks
I recently installed a rather large font package on my computer. The font package is large enough to slow down my computer and I want my original fonts back.How can I restore my fonts folder from 30,000+ fonts @ 2GB, to the original windows fonts? I don't want to do a restore option off the disc, because I don't want to lose anything. Any ideas?
When I was trying to make my XP SP3 look like Vista, I changed something for the font. I used Movefile and a script. When the computer restarted, the font had changed, but is far too big and looks terrible. I didn't save a system restore point and I have tried changing the font size in 'Display Settings', then 'Appearance'. And I have tried changing the DPI setting and the 'Display Settings', 'Settings', then 'Advanced'.
In trying to enlarge font for my father so he could view things more easily, the font on the internet is much too large. Some web pages are not viewable because of it. I have tried the Accessibility, Display, Font via the Control Panel. Tried internet options via IE. Suggestions please. As always, thank you .
In diferent programs (example - WinRAR, Winamp) font size in some windows are too big (see picture), it don't fit the window . I can't find any setup to regulate this font size. I have Windows 2000.
Other than Window Blinds, which I've had it with becasue it's so buggy sometimes, is there ant way to increase the size of Fonts in those right click menus and the one you get when you hit start and all programs. I imagine threre has to be a registry fix for something like this. The only other way I know how to do is by going to properties/appearance and font size but that throws the other fonts I want to keep at their chosen size,
I dont' remember exactly what preceded the change (i seem to remember a windows update), but now all of the fonts on any webpage (including this one and my received emails) are font size 14 or bigger (im not sure) instead of the usual 10.
I've been installing fonts onto my computer and I have probably 1600 or so in my folder now. Now whenever I try opening the folder it unexpectedly quits. I don't think it's a memory problem, cause I've got plenty of it. Also, it won't let me install any more fonts cause it keeps closing down.
I just reformatted and was messing around with WindowBlinds for awhile so that may be a culprit, but even though I've now uninstalled it, when I am receiving mail in Outlook Express the messages come in large fonts, I mean bigger and darker than what you normally expect. Then when I hover over them or even click on then they go back to normal size. It's not that annoying, but peculiar. I've tried repairing Outlook Express the best I know how but nothing's changed. Is there a setting somewhere in OE6 that can change that or a registry fix?
