Win98
I/O & I/E v6
Due to problems with fonts, symbols etc.etc. explained in my post here, I am
considering reinstalling win98 but unsure if I lose any settings in
explorers' etc.
Any suggestions please.

No, not if you install "over the top".

Very true, dadiOh but the user may face unexpected problems with an "over the
top" install as compared to a clean install. I wonder is it really necessary
to go to this extreme just for fonts or are there other problems that I am
not aware of.

Never mind, Terry posted back and I had a few issues associated with the time
clock and Wallwatcher on my computer that are now fixed so if the date seemed
weird then just ignore it because all is fine now.

The solution to my problem of unwanted smaller text, and title bar letters
instead of an underscore, square, and a X, was to delete "ttfcache" in the
windows folder.
Upon reboot all back to normal.
Thanks posters.

At some stage, I have read your posts here and there,
http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?q=terrybetts11138&start=0&scoring=d&ie=UTF-8&
though I do not understand why you want to reinstall instead of
posting your problem in one concise post as some of us are old and
grumpy (not necessarily Bear, probably just me) and don't have the
patience to read all your posts to find what your problem is. (You
don't say here)

Please consider posting on the assumption that none of us has read any
of your posts on this newsgroup or all the others.

Have a look here, but if you do a clean install, then of course you
will lose all settings.
