Solve : Help, half the page is encrypted.? |
|
Answer» Last night when I turned off my computer it was find. At 10 a.m. today I turned it on and when I go to a web page half the page is in good font and other is in encrypted font and tiny. Also when I try to open the Microsoft Word page to type a letter it says "Tahoma Font is missing". The other thing that is going on is up in R corner at top where you go to "close" or "MINIMIZE" etc. Those things have been replaced with 3 littles boxes that have a "0" in the (-) little box, a "1" in the maximize box, and an "r" in the "close or x" box. Go into the control panel and open the Fonts folder. Scroll to the bottom until you get to Times New Roman (True Type) (This is the default font in Word), open this file and view the different font sizes for this type. Is the entire document readable or is some of it encrypted? I did what you said. And it opens up into a small oblong window and it LOOKS good. But when I open the screen up to "maximize" the first 3 settings are encrypted, and sizes 12, 18, 24 and ok, and the rest of the big letters are encrypted "looking" also (blocky letters not totally together). Something ELSE that is interesting is when I am off line I noticed the font looks right as when I go to OUTLOOK EXPRESS. But when I go online then the lettering of the font is narrow and different than the lettering on the left that tells me what file folders I have in OUTLOOK EXPRESS (the left side has the font I have always used.) I still have those new "characters" also up in upper right hand corner that have replaced "x" for close, etc. It looks liks this: "0" "1" "r" instead of what used to be there (-) cant remember what was middle ONE and "x" to close the screen. Do you have any idea what changed those? It's like some setting has changed for only half of the computer and the other half is ok. Thanks for your reply. Ceci Quote from: programming_pat on June 24, 2007, 11:04:01 PM have you made any changes such as installed a new program or a device driver. No. It was working good last night when I turned off computer like always. And when I turned it back on about 10 a.m. this morning, it was like this, like it hiccuped or something and unchecked a setting or something. And I can't open the Microsoft Word page to write a letter because it says "Tahoma font" is not there, but when I open OUTLOOK EXPRESS, it's there. I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Microsoft Word 2000 from the CD I have started the computer in Safety Mode. I have tried resetting the fonts but the page of "accessibility" seems to be grayed out and I wondered about that because when I first turned it on today, everywhere I went it wanted a password, even to go to Outlook Express, and it never does that. So the passwords had all been ignored. It's like it's in safe mode almost but I can't get it out. Thanks for any ideas. CeciWell, here's an update -- I think I'm delerious from this, LOL Anyway, it is maybe a "script" problem someone said or a Windows 98 Se problem. All I know right now is I have discovered that it has 2 TAHOMA fonts in the Font page and it will not let me remove either. But when I go into Microsoft Word to type on the screen, it says "You don't Tahoma, go find it" The print I was reading as encrypted is really the font = "Small Fonts" on my list of fonts in my Outlook Express page. So font problem is what I can ADD to a possible problem. Something is making my fonts not come into my Windows98, I guess?? It most definitely is not defaulting to "Times New Roman" font except in some spots. And the "r" is still up on the RIGHT upper corner where the little "x" used to be to close the screen. But some of the odd lettering has disappeared off the internet pages I pull up, but the font still isn't right -- it looks more like, of all things Tahoma font -- go figure. Thanks CeciTravel Here for instructions on repairing the Font folder in Win98.... Make sure to back up the registry first.You could copy the fonts from a friends computer and drag them onto yours. The fonts you have might have corrupted. when you copy a font you have to select it and drag it. programming_patHe hasn't returned in over a month now... |
