I have a friend whose fonts were corrupted after they loaded some Disney children's CD! Since they are running Win XP on their PC, I was able to help him by walking him through running System Restore to a time prior to when they had the problem. If you know someone else who has Win XP, ask him to direct you through the icons until you can load & run System Restore.
