        Looks like the system font's been changed to Wingdings or something...

          Looks like Marlett to me, but yeah, I'm with tiresias...

          That's some nasty stuff all right. What was it that you removed?

            It's not spyware, the systems is now read-protected...
            There is no fear, there is power.
            There is no death, there is immortality.
            There is no weakness, there is the Dark Side.
            I am the Heart of Darkness.
            I know no fear, But rather I instill it in my enemies.
            I am the destroyer of worlds.
            I know the power of the Dark Side.
            I am the fire of hate.
            All the Universe bows before me.
            I pledge myself to the Darkness.
            For I have found true life, In the death of the light.

                "Tahoma", at least on our machines.

                Hmmm... I always thought it was "MS-sans serif"

                  I always thought it was Trebuchet MS on XP machines. I'm probably wrong though. Same thing, Tahoma on 2000, MS Sans Serif on 95/98/I think ME.

                      Shroom was right though - it is Marlett. What's the purpose of Marlett anyway, (apart from simulating a bad case of font corruptus?)

                        I'm sorry I can't help feeling that KC has spoofed us.
                        Notice he hasen't chimed in here.
                        I think he's laughing to hard.

                          nope.i saw it happen.that box was badly infested by spyware.
                          in the end it was decided that the best move was wipe/reload.
                          i thought it was wingdings but hadnt had time to check.
                          between adaware and spybot there were over 2000 spyware items found before it went to hell.

                            It's a really strange, pointless-seeming font. I wonder why it even exists? Geek art?

                              Look at the various parts of standard windows and I bet you can find the "characters" from this font there.

                                  Heh... you're right - it's the symbols used on the various buttons and window corners for resizing! Funny now it never occurred to me.

                                          Problem

                                          This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                                          every time I open the tool, I have the screen that appears
                                          and I am always in a hurry to use it so I click and it automatically sends me a link to the manufacturer.

                                          It annoys me lol.

                                          2 solutions to remove it.

                                          Either you remove pic.bmp and it no longer appears so no more links when clicking.


                                          or else you can modify the exe to remove the .bmp


                                          hope this helps users...

After a while, the board started to change color, but the solder still didn't melt.
                                          Fortunately, I'm testing it on old network switches to see how it works.
                                          What am I doing wrong?
