I have Windows 2000 SP4 and over the weekend my application screens and user
areas have all lost thier font. It now displays symbols (like in the system
information area) instead of the standard english. All of my icons are still
in english and can read them with out a problem but it is all of the other
areas that have changed. Even when booting the "Starting Windows display
that states please wait is in symbol form.

Has anyone ever seen this before? How can I correct it without formating
and reloading the drive?
