Commentary By Ron Beasley
I am running Windows 7. When I turned off my computer last night all was well - when I turned it on this morning all was not well. I went to the web first and the fonts were all messed up - at many sites the fonts were all italic and in some cases bold italic. It was the same in all web browsers and Excel. I did a goggle search and found I am not the first one to have this problem which is certain fonts simply disappear. Arial regular, Georgia regular and Verdana regular were no longer there. I had to go to another computer and copy the missing fonts onto a thumb drive and reinstall them on my main computer. There may be others missing but they haven't bothered me yet. The only thing that happened was Norton did a system scan last night that included a registry scan.
Has anyone else had this problem!
Your problem probably has more to do with Norton than it does with Windows. I'm amazed anyone still uses Norton bloatware. Damn thing is monstrous and slows your computer to a crawl. Do yourself a favor and get rid of it. Install something with a lighter footprint, like Avast. Even McAfee. Anything but Norton.
ReplyDeleteAgree. Norton is Junk. Try NOD at www.eset.com/ It has a lengthy free trial. McAfee is only slightly better than Norton. It "breaks" all the time and needs laborious uninstalling and reinstalling. Mostly because it's targeted by hackers so much.
