My desktop runs W2K and has a dual head (2 monitor) setup run off a matrox G400 card, I just went down stairs to make a cup of tea and when I returned for some reason my primary display has taken to using what looks to be some kind of Asian font. Bizzarely when windows a dragged onto the secondary display they display as usual with the standard english windows font.

So my questions which I hope you guys can help me with are: What the hells happened to my computer, how can I fix it & has anybody else ever experienced anything like this?

Here's a screenshot of my computer the two explorer windows are both showing 'my computer' as you can see the AVG window in the centre of the picture displays correctly for the portion on the secondary display and incorrectly for the portion on the primary, anybody have any idea what the hells going on?

Try reinstalling the G400 drivers.

Thanks, I reinstalled them and everythings back to normal that was just bizare, turn my back for aminute and suddenly everything on my main screens in another language (well typeface) I've had computers screw up many times before but never anything so odd yet so harmless.
