| Non-printable characters in dialog boxes Does anyone know what XP file builds the dialog boxes for the accessory programs for "save before close" and the print execution status? All text except the file name is question marks or unprintable "squares". I see it in Paint and other MS native tools and with third party applications like TurboCad only. Office apps are fine. I obviously have a corrupt file somewhere as problem recently arose on only one of three similar computers. Not losing sleep over this, but inquiring minds need to know. -- John Conover USAF Ret      |

Hi John, Deleting the localization file mfc42loc.dll from %windir%\system32 folder should fix the problem. -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Xanadu John" <XanaduJohn@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:20232FFE-B0B4-4EC9-A976-E05556042FA8@microsoft.com...
