Windows Default Font Issue?

Like it says in the topic description, "I have a large, bulky font set as default causing problems," but I am not positive. Its kinda hard to explain but it all happened when I installed a large font pack to my windows fonts folder. I was experiencing problems so I tried to remove as many as possible to clean it up a bit. Now I am having problems using my Cyberlink powerDVD program because I cant even see all the options!!

As you can see the font takes up so much room I cant even see all the options. I guarantee you it has nothing to do with my windows skin or the difference in of the program in the picture, as I am having problems with other programs too, such as Ventrilo.

Someone please help me fix this issue so I can change the settings of my movies!!

What font size do you have selected in Display Properties?

In the list of Normal, Large Fonts, and Extra Large Fonts, I have Normal selected

Maybe this will help:

Well I have tried all those DIP and appearance changes but they were all right. Do you know a way that I can delete every file in my Fonts folder? I have my windows disk to restore them.

I do not think you have to go to the extreme of uninstalling all the fonts.

Have you looked in Display Poperties>Appearance and then clicked on the Advanced button and then changed the font style and size for the Active Window? Whatever that is set to is usually what changes the default text style and size in the windows.

Using Windows System Restore to return the computer to the way it was the day before these problems started is another option if the above doesn't work and there are bound to be other options too.

I would hold off on deleting the fonts until all other options have been exhausted.

It seems like Windows must have some fonts installed or else you will run into problems before you have a chance to reinstall them.

Also, have you rebooted since this problem started?

You appear to be running some kind of "skinning" software, according to the black title-bar in your screenshot. Or maybe some kind of Theme hack.

Please explain.
