Funny text

[Ice_Cube]

Sorry if this is strictly technical support for the game, but on this forum some of the text is garbled, especially the quotes. Any ideas on how to fix it?

[gryphon]

Which internet browser are you using, and at what resolution are you viewing it ?

Refreshing doesn't help if it looks like that ?

And garbled as in fussy, small, are totally different that carracters ?

[Ice_Cube]

right,

I am using a recently installed version of Internet explorer6, I am in 1024 X 768 and the text looks like it is being view through a fish net. Some is visible and some isn't

[Gobalopper]

Could you post a screenshot?

[Ice_Cube]

Don't know how to put it in a post so I have just attached it.[attachment archived by Gobalopper]

Looks like those words are slashed up ;D

But only some of the words are affected,you say?

[Ice_Cube]

It is always the words in the quote thingees, but sometimes normal text is mess too.

[lowzeewee]

Hmmmm.....that's a strange problem....can you please attach yr dxdiag?

[gryphon]

He :) I had that ones. Don't think there is any need for a directX file [ althougth if you would want to post one ;) ].

Try updating Java runtime and look through the properties of IE and see if scripting and all those things are turned on.

If you highlight the text, do the letter become clear at that point ?

Did you install all features of IE ?

When I had the problem it was with the first Beta of Opera 7. It was happening randomly. . and I did manage to fix it before getting the new Beta version back then. [ the new beta had solved the problem from itself ]. Can't remember at this time what I did to overome it .. :-

[Ice_Cube]

Yup, if you highlight it it does become clear and I down't think it is a directX prob. It happened after I installed IE6 off an old CD. IS there and update site. (lousy microsoft)

[gryphon]

You mean this udpdate site at Microsoft ?

[lowzeewee]

Try attaching yr dxdiag as well...then i can see what needs updating :)

[Ice_Cube]

Sorry for my ignorance, what do you want me to attach?

[lowzeewee]

Go to Start-Run-type in dxdiag then run.Then 'save all information',save as any name then attach it here :)

[Ice_Cube]

[Ice_Cube]

I don't know why they are there but those are teh games that I can invite someone to play, on the msn messanger thing.

[lowzeewee]

DO you know any other foreign language[non-english in this case]?

[Ice_Cube]

Nope (although I am studying french ;D)

[Gobalopper]

You could try going to Windows Update and making sure you have all the lastest patches.

[lowzeewee]

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ :)

[Timenn]

Watch it when you using the updater. If the computer crashes while doing that, it demolishes your entire computer, which means you can build it up from scratch again. (In Win98)

[Ice_Cube]

I have downloaded the latest everything. (except those security updates).
