Hi guys, sorry it's been so long since my posting....I've been reloading Windows!

Thanks to Gary's comments I've found the root cause of my problems but I still don't have a final solution.

I'm running

Windows XP SP2D
Dell 4300 Precision Laptop
nVidia Quadro FX 360M
Dell 2005FPW monitor

I re-formatted the hard drive, loaded XP and started loading the misc. drivers I got from Dell's website. I go to the video driver and thought maybe I should load the fonts first. Nah, I went ahead and loaded the nVidia driver. I tried to load the fonts. Wouldn't work. So I uninstalled the nVidia driver and presto the fonts loaded no problems. So I re-loaded the nVidia driver and the fonts wouldn't come up in any of the programs I use (Word, Quark, etc.). I can see them in the fonts folder, but when I double click on them I can an error message (__.PFB was not a valid font file). Remove nVidia and the fonts work fine, but my monitor perforamnce is horrible.

So nVidia is clearly the problem. I went to nVidia's website to see if I could download a driver from them and they only have "partner certified drivers" available. I tried the ones listed for Adobe, but they didn't work.

Do either of you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Tom
