hello, I ran system mechanic on my computer and it seemed to fix all the problems in the registery. however when I rebooted all the things on the desktop have the icon correct but the words under it are symbols. It's the same way through out the computer. I zipped all the fonts from the other computer and put them in but it didn't work. Previsouly I tried to update the weather bug but it would not update right and I was forced to uninstall it. I also uninstalled AVG virus protector as it would not get the updates either. So these are the things that were done on the computer prior to having this problem. I have no clue what to do. Any help would be appreciated, I hate to have to reformatt the computer. I am using windows xp service pack 2. Thanks
