I tried to fix my registry, and now almost aal my fonts are italic, adn it occurs in all programs. It's driving me nuts! it affected only the Explorer (6), but after I installed the bacup registry it started affecting my mozila and other programs as well. arrr... thx in advance...

another problem: often, when I load a web page via the dang explorer it doesn't load the page. that doesnt happen with mozilla... as for the fonts, I've tried deleting and installing like some-1 suggested in 1 of the former threads, but I either did it wrong, or it's not the problem.

Tweakui has a Repair font folder under the 'repair' tab. Worth a try? Download Tweakui

thx 4 the url phil. I mannaged to fix the font problem. the registry program moved some of the to the TEMP folder, so I moved them back home. the problem with the Explorer - I wasn't able to fix yet. hopefully I'll get answers in the site you gave me (it'll take me a couple of hours... :) ). I would have switched to firebird mozilla long ago, alas the explorer runs much faster. :(

I found out the source of the problem. I used some register cleaning program that messed it all up. it changed my autoexec.bat file and once I erased it from it through the notepad - problem was solved. here's what my autoexec looks like: C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\NETWOR~1\VIRUSS~1\40~1.XX\scanpm.exe C:\ @IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE mode con codepage prepare=((862) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\hebega.cpi) mode con codepage select=862 SET BLASTXX=AXXX IXX DX HX PXXX T6 SET SBPCI=C:\SBPCI and here is what it looked like with the program's addition (the addition stayed even after I deleted the program): @scanreg.exe /opt C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\NETWOR~1\VIRUSS~1\40~1.XX\scanpm.exe C:\ @IF ERRORLEVEL 1 PAUSE SET BLASTXX=AXXX IXX DX HX PXXX T6 SET SBPCI=C:\SBPCI mode con codepage prepare=((862) C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\hebega.cpi) mode con codepage select=862 @echo off LH C:\WINDOWS\Smartdrv.exe CHOICE Do you want to Compact the Registry now?
