Postby metalmonkey » Sun May 09, 2010 2:26 pm

This morning microsoft had installed an update and now all my word documents have been changed to olive oil font...looks like windings. I've tried to change them back but I can't has anyone else had this problem or does anyone have any suggestions. Very anxious about loosing so much information?

Hi metalmonkey,
So more info..........
OS version...............and what was the update, the KB number

You could remove the update.............in XP.......
Control panel -> Add/remove programs....have the show update box ticked

And reboot system.
