phillip1966 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Had a problem with windows 95b on spare computer I planned to give my son's family-as they are NEW to home computing-thought it would be good place to start... This comp was found by me- w/o disks to re-install so .....After I used WinRescue95 to get it working again-the upper right hand "minimize", "restore up/down" and close buttons contain #'s instead?????????????????????Also in display appearance settings the selection drop down arrows arent arrows -they also are #'s!!!!Any help as to why this has happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Somehow you are missing a needed font.It is of course a bit of time I had a W95 system , but if (as it generally happens) things have not changed that much in later release that should be marlett.ttf. But, as it happened to me just a few days ago working on a seemingly completely unrelated thing:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/XPSP1-with...0-MB-t3717.htmlif I added marlett.ttf but not tahoma.ttf I had a similar effect to the one you describe.You should try and re-add these two fonts and possibly check if anything else has "gone astray" in the Registry related to fonts.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainyShadow Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 To save yourself some time, first delete the C:\Windows\ttfCache file and restart. Then, if it doesn't fix the buttons, proceed as jaclaz said.btw. sometimes just changing the appearance scheme helps, you could try switching to a scheme with different caption buttons size.HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
