Ive just got back to home pc and kids have been messing with windows fonts and shit and the whole thing looks a right mess, ive put them back to what I think is normal but it still doesnt look right? Could some one have a quick look in display--appearance--advanced and let me know what fonts are normally used and what size. Internet explorer seems worst as does task bar

 

I think your on about win xp yeah? im on Vista at the moment so ive got different menu's.

Show my a screenshot and i "might" remember what the settings "should" be

 

 

cant see anything wrong there what do you think isnt right? and ill see if i know how to get it back

 

for me the txt where the tabs are in explorer look lost (tab seems massive with strange font txt), icons in toolbar are all blocky for some reason. And the text on the start menu seems wrong font. The actual content in internet explorer is fine, its just the menus/tabs.

Im on laptop now and that screen grab looks okay to me also wonder if its monitor settings maybe?

 

Hmm strange.

You could just use system restore and restore back to yesterday or whenever the pc looked fine

 

I am not familer with XP MCE (looks like Media Centre anyway) so coudln't tell you if it is wrong or not, but I'd do what he above says - restore back to yesterday and it should reset itself... START > ALL PROGRAMMES > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS : System Restore...
