Cross-posted; problem seems to be associated to both areas?
Searching reveals no help. Probable culprit: Runing Family Tree Maker (FTM) for win95/98 without realizing it. Problem did not occur with installation, nor with importing a gedcom file, but after a short period of time using its features to make revisions. Email & Newsgroups: No Bold/Regular fonts in Subject lines to show whether it has been read or not. In body: No "regular" font available; only Italic and Bold or Bold/Italic. Italic not turned on, clicking it does nothing (in HTML mails). Same with groups, though 99% of those are plain text. Fusion, web authoring: Refused to start because it didn't have a Verdana font. All other apps -were- Italics only; no "regular" choices. TS steps: -- All Accessibility stuff is OFF (control panel; Accessibility settings) -- All apps EXCEPT email/newsgroups seems to have "fixed" themselves. -- Ran chkdsk all drives; ran boot.ini SOS mode. Chkdsk found no problems. SOS mode is finding problems on a data drive and fixed them. Has happened twice so far. Otherwise all drives are declared "clean" of other Restarts. SOS never found any problems on the boot drive. -- ShutDown/Restart not working. Gets to the blank screen with mouse cursor, power never goes off or restart never happens; just freezes there. -- Updated prior to use Antivirus, WinPatrol, Search & Destroy and Adaware all coming up clean. -- Bootup time is "normal" unless the SOS slows it for disk checks. -- Shutdown time is "normal" up to the point of the freeze. -- UPHclean and Bootvis are installed and run. As near as I can tell, ALL above issues are the only ones. Everything else seems fine. I'm currently backing up (Imaging with Ghost 10) Drive C (boot drive) to 4 DVDs, but ... it's just a precaution because I'm backing up with these problems present g. Better this than nothing though if something goes astray. Excepting possibly the cold boot/restart problems, I have a feeling that whatever is messing with the fonts in email and the groups is common to everything. I've seen this before onthe groups but the only finds I come across don't indicate whether any of it worked and I've already tried most of them as evidenced here, I think. I DID have a problem with administrative right too but that also seems to have cured itself along the way. Strange. Any relevant comments or thoughts or suggestions will be most happily received. Besides the annoyance of these problems there is always the possibility of it "growing" and impacting other things eventually, so ... Thanks in advance to all who reply with relevant information!

Thanks, Robert! You're a gentleman and a scholarg; well, you know what I
mean. I can't recall what it was set to, but in the Advanced Properties Display I changed the font to Vedana and all straightened itself out. Unfortunately I didn't take note of what it -was- set to, so I can't duplicate the symptoms; easily, anyway. I'm just glad to have it working correctly again. Thanks again for the kick; it worked out well. Pop` Poprivet wrote: Robert Aldwinckle wrote: "Poprivet" wrote in message ... Cross-posted; problem seems to be associated to both areas?
