I uninstalled B.I.S.S. Hosts Manager and my whole computer went into italics. I have the Arial and Courier New fonts. Need some additional help troubleshooting whats going on here. Thanks.

Right-click the desktop > Properties > Appearance Tab > Advanced Button

From the drop-down menu you can choose fonts for different things.

Click on where it says "Desktop", it should show a drop-down menu with different elements of Windows Vista you can change.

By the way the default {well for me anyway) is Tahoma, font size 8.

Hey thanks Randomlygeneratedname. I actually was able to troubleshoot the problem. My default font was Segoe UI and I was missing the file (it was deleted somehow or another). I copied it from another computer and rebooted and everything is straight now. Thanks.
