True Type Font Dilemma

Comment:
I am running WFWG 3.11 on a Virtual PC using the 45 day trial of Microsoft Virtual PC 2004. When ever I install Office 4.3 Pro or use Internet Explorer 4 i get a big white box saying:
"Invalid True Type Font Detected. An application used a true type font that caused an error in windows. Quit all applications and restart windows".
Im at my wits end to solve this problem can anyone help.
