I booted a computer this morning only to find upon bootup that the system font is completely unreadable. It looks like this $%^&*()@. It starts this way through the welcome screen and continues at the desktop. I have up-to-date virus definitions on the machine and ran the virus checker this morning. No viruses were detected. I rebooted and ran system restore. It did nothing to correct the problem. (I have another XP pro machine sitting right next to this one so I am able to see what I am doing by using the other machine.) I am completely stumped. I have never seen anything like this before. Any ideas? Is there something I can do short of reinstalling XP?
