Text looks like binary or computer language. Why what is happening

When I turn on my computer all the text looks like a binary or computer language. Every day I have to restore to an earlier time to put it right. Why this is happening and how I put good...

I refer to the captions under the icons on my desktop.

No I does not always restore to the same point. I restore to the last point, which was good.
I use XP SP3
I don't know the State of malware, and I don't know how to find out...

Sorry to be slow getting back to you.  Notifications of the Forum do not seem to work for me.

I didn't find anything exactly like your situation, but maybe one of system fonts is damaged.  See if the following can help.

Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select Properties
In the Properties window, click the tab "appearance".
In the appearance window, click on the button "Advanced".
In the Advanced window go to the menu drop down under ' question: ' and select 'icon '.

The default value must be fonts: Tahoma and size 8.  If those who are not your settings, change to make them so.  If not, try another font.  Not all fonts will allow you to use 8 point type; I wouldn't not much bigger.

If your setting is already at 8 points Tahoma, open a text editor that allows you to specify fonts (e.g. Microsoft Word) and see if the police Tahoma works correctly.

Malware:

You must have a version recent (2 or 3 year) an application of antivirus with current updates (i.e., not later than yesterday).

Download, install, update and run both of these free applications.
MalwareBytes Anti-Malware
SUPERAntiSpyware

You don't need the paid versions that work all the time.  Just make it a practice to update and scan your system on a regular basis.

  • Why my 3d text look like garbage?

    I tried the service extended in cs5 and my extrusion is pixelated, rough, serrated or any other word that you can use to tell the garbage.

    Here's what I did:

    Selected: 3d > regrowth > text layer...

    The settings alone and clicked on OK.

    That's what I get:

  • Text looks like in dw cs5

    Hello

    I just downloaded a trial of DW CS5.  I usually use VisualStudio.Net MS development, but now we must make DW.  I opened an index.html page in code view and I see that the code is in gray text - as he commented <! - comment - > .  Tags scripts and code inline CSS are coded by color, I'm used to, but the majority of the HTML on the page is dimmed.  It's new in CS5?  I'm not at all familiar with the toolbar at the top.  I want just the HTML color code.  Is it a difficulty of the user, or is it just how CS5 DW renders HTML in the code view?

    This looks like a content management system that handles all of this.  I don't think that would change much of this in Dreamweaver.  It is possible that the page is a Dreamweaver template file in which case everything is grey with the exception of the editable regions, they allow you to edit.

  • The icon in my dock for Firefox has suddenly changed an image that looks like 2 pieces of paper stacked on each other irregularly with 3 pencils drawn on the lower right corner. Can I change it to look like the emblem of Firefox? That's happened?

    More details to be added.

    Try the solution in this thread for the pencil icon:

    • Remove the Firefox icon from the dock.
    • Create a new icon by dragging the Firefox application to the dock.
  • Firefox won't start on my laptop. Why what is happening now, I used it for years?

    Firefox needs to be downloaded via another server whenever I try to access the internet.

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  • Digital fax on computer - when the computer is offline, what is happening to the incoming fax?

    I have the HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8600, and it is on the network.  I recently put to save incoming faxes as digital files on a computer on the network and it works perfectly when the computer is available.  My question is this: what happens to incoming, if the computer is offline or unavailable fax (as if someone shuts down the computer)?  I want to just make sure that faxes are not 'lost', and they will be printed or recoverable in some way.

    Hi Memjay,

    I understand that you have an Officejet Pro 8600 that you put in place the digital archiving of faxes to a network folder, and you have just a question about it. I will do my best to answer this question for you!

    If your computer shuts down, and the printer had to receive a fax while it was turned off, the printer should hold that fax in memory (can generally hold up to about 30 pages in memory) and then when your computer is back on and pull has refreshed (generally set to 5 or 10 minutes) faxes in memory should appear in the network on the computer file. This document of setting up digital fax HP to save faxes received on your computer has a before you Begin section that explains just that ideally, you want to leave the computer at any time, but once again the printer there little memory to contain faxes until the computer is back on and looking faxes again.

    I hope this helps to answer your question, have a great day!

    If the problem persists, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling adobe.

    You can try to uninstall all older versions, Adobe Acrobat , and see if the problem is resolved. Uninstall earlier versions of the application and then install the version you want. If multiple versions of Adobe Reader are installed on the system, remove all versions and install only one version.
    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. click on Start, type Appwiz.cpl in the Start Search box, and then click Appwiz.cpl in the list of found files.
    2. double-click on the version of Acrobat or reader you want to uninstall.
    3. click on Yes if you are prompted to confirm that you want to uninstall the program.
    Note If you are prompted to confirm that you want to run the program, click on allow.
    4. click Yes to restart the computer.

  • Hebrew looks like gibberish

    This seems a common problem but I can't find a solution.

    When you type the Hebrew text looks like gibberish.

    1. I use windows 10
    2. LabVIEW 2015
    3. my local system is defined in Hebrew
    4. I don't have this problem on any other program (used to have in "Notebook", but after I change system local Hebrew - it has been resolved)
    5. I do not see this behavior on another computer with similar settings (win10 + LV2015 + local system put in Hebrew)
    6. Several years ago, I had a similar problem with labview 6. It was solved by a service pack published by NI - I hope that is not the case at the moment...

    Thanks for the reply.

    Apparently history repeats.

    I installed SP1 for Labview 2015 - and the problem was solved...

    From my research, the problem may occur if IE7 isn't the web browser by default. I understand that you have tried to define default IE7. At this point, please follow the steps below to check if it:

    Step 1: Set default IE7 in IE options
    ========
    1. open Internet Explorer Page

    2. click on tools (usually in the upper right corner) and go down to Internet Options

    3 switch to the tab programs, click "Make default" under "Web browser by default" if IE is currently not the default browser.
    4. click on OK.

    Step 2: Set IE as default in Set Program Access and computer defaults
    ========
    1. click on start, and then click default programs (you can find it in the control panel if you do not have a shortcut on the start menu)
    2. click on "set program access and computer by default.
    3. Select custom, and then click to expand the options.
    4. Select "Internet Explorer" as default web browser, and then click OK.

    Step 3: Check the associated registry key
    ========
    1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.
    2. navigate to the following key:

    Mand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\InternetShortcut\Shell\print\com

    3. in the right pane, check that the (default) value data are defined as follows:

    "C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe" "C:\Windows\System32\mshtml.dll",PrintHTML "%1"

    4. exit the registry editor.

    Then, restart the computer in order to check the result.
