font failures in wordpad save dialog

[Guest xp-pro]

Xp pro (SP-3 and all current updates)

 

I've noticed an odd bug in my laptop. Wordpad displays blank boxes

forfilename text in dialog boxes. Someone gave me a fi earlier but I lost

it. What was that fix?

Ok, I ran the "regsvr32 jscript.dll," but on check of the regkey

 

{f414c260-6ac0-11cf-b6d1-00aa00bbbb58} I found two of them

 

One has value of JScript Language - /implemented categories shows duplicate

(2) entires with no value set

 

the other shows JScript Language Authoring /implemented catagories shows one

entry (different character string - but also has no value set

 

One shows ProgID as JScript

The other shows PRogID as JScript Author

Here's something to try: Export the regkey, then delete it; register

jscript.dll again and see what happens. Restore the backup if need be.
