My comp certainly does. Half of everything shows up in italics right now. Winamp playlist, everything on the fark.com webpage (this site comes up normally), the words in that blue screen during shutdown...it's all over and it's very confusing. I have an idea on what caused it: I was fixing up this comp, so I decided to reinstall XP. I started running the setup and jazz, and it warns me that installing on a partition with an already existing OS might screw things up, but there's no 'reformat' or 'kill old OS with a rusty knife' option, so against my better judgement, I do it anyway. It runs fine, but gives me an annoying option every startup asking which OS do I want to run, "XP Home edition" or "XP Home edition" (Yes, same exact wording) So I figured out which one was the new one (rather easy), and I delete the old one using Windows Explorer so I don't have that DOS dialogue at startup eac time. That's when I start noticing these weird italics appearing all over. It's rather weird and kinda funny at first but...it starts getting on your nerves. Has anyone ever had anything like this before? Thanks for any help!
