Hello. I have sort of a strange problem. After installing a printer (Lexmark 2030...old one, I know), I opened up MS Works 7.0, and all of the text in the document is jumbled together. The letters overlap each other. When I copy the text and paste it into say an email, the text is fine. Could the printer be causing problems with MS Works? I also tried opening a new document and typing, and it's like the cursor won't advance, so the text just types on top of itself. This has never happened to me before, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Well, I decided to just go ahead and delete my printer (in the Printers and Faxes folder), and the text is now fix. I guess I'll have to look into getting a newer printer, since even the newest drivers didn't help.
