Hey,

I'm still having the same problem this is on a Clean install of XP updated with all patches and fixes *reuses picture*

Romey:

Run XPize uninstaller and select to Restore MS Dlg pointer to MS Sans Serif. If that does not fix the problem. Then it has to be another thing, or not even XPize's fault.
