My nephew...a games addict did something wonderful to my system..i.e, my computer. Suddenly it started spewing a fantastic language which is not known to any humanbeing.. i am posting a pic ..of how it looks. Needless to say, all the menus come in that lingo only...sad1.gif I tried system restore, but it is not working...Checked up, and saw that restore option is ON.
Hence i got no other alternative except to turn to the techie guys and gals out here...Please Help me !!!!
Yes..i know that re-installing the OS is there...but kept it for last alternative..

He can try system restore that is if he can find that in the control panel and once again if he can locate control panel! blink.gif

Yes, that should work. System restore will mean all the data gone, Boom.
if you have backed up data, then yes system restore will clean all unwanted stuff

System restore does not delete data bhai. I have done so many times and all my files are safe. wub.gif The system files or the settings get back to the time when the system was back-ed up. Only I have noticed the folders you have deleted come back though empty. blink.gif

you mean restore from registory? These incremental backups / restores work with servers. In case of PCs, this is simply done by using restore disc that brings PC to factory settings

You mean Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
Many of my friends use it and its easy to use. It resembles Windows in many ways. Sometimes even crashes like it. tongue1.gif
Most softwares are available online through package manager and installation CDs are available by order for free from their site www.ubuntu.org

Come on. how is the game addicted nephew going to play games on Ubuntu.
Besides simplefable would have to switch browsers that would be traumatic enough.
It looks like browser is IE6.

Why don't you have you nephew fix the either the system font setting or
regional setting in Control Panel. but if this some kind of virus then you will
have to reinstall. Doesn't your nephew know what he did.
I think windows does have a mechanism where you can boot up in last good
snapshot or something. may be safe boot would work as well.

may be the font file is corrupt. get the font directory from some else with same os.
backup and replace the font directory.

you can also do checksum on the font files and compare with the good filesystem.

Did you try another font for the system font to see if that helps like the Ariel.
