Hi.

For some reason all the tooltips as well as some
droplists' items have changed their font to a old-
fashioned system font, instead of remaining Tahoma (as
selected in the desktop properties).

I can't put my finger on when it happend and I haven't
been able to change it.

Thanks,

Mickey

A recent Critical Update.

Recently these were changed by a Critical Update on my machine...
Display Properties | Appearance tab | Effects |
? Show shadows under menus
? Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key

System Properties | Advanced tab | Performance Settings button |
? Show shadows under mouse pointer

Display Properties | Appearance tab | Color scheme:
Changed from Windows Standard to Windows Classic.

I changed them back to what *I* want. ;-)
-----

Right click Desktop Properties | Appearance tab |
Advanced button | Item:
Menu
Tooltip

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Wes,

Would you know the number(s|) of th(at|ose) update(s|)?
I have not been affected as you have.
(I already use Windows Classic theme and no shadows.)

Jan,

One these:
Security Update for Windows XP KB839645 on 7/13/2004
Security Update for Windows XP KB840315 on 7/13/2004
Security Update for Windows XP KB841873 on 7/13/2004
Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP
5.1 KB842773 on 7/13/2004
Cumulative Security Update for Outlook Express 6 SP1 KB823353 on 7/13/2004

I don't even care which one or ones did it. I got my settings back. It
upsets me though. It's my machine, dangit! ;-)

Wes,

I installed the first three, but I was not affected.
Thus 842773 (BITS) could be the culprit.

Jan,

Could be. I have BITS disabled. I don't remember if I had to disable it
again after the update.
