Asian Fonts in Windows Apps

I'm having problems with Korean fonts and the text in my IE looking jagged.
I loaded an old version of a Korean word processor (Hangul 97) onto my system, but it was incompatible with Vista. I removed the program, however I have noticed two issues since the installation/removal.
First, the font in my IE 8 is fuzzy. I've tried the solutions suggested in previous threads (ClearType, DPI change, resolution, monitor driver update, graphics card driver update), but none of these solutions solves this problem.
The second problem I have is that when I choose "Save As" or "Open" from both Paint and WordPad, the "Save As" and "Open" window titles are in Korean. I'm guessing the Korean word processor changed my default font when I installed it.
Any ideas how to solve these issues?

OS: Vista Home Prem SP2
Browser: IE 8
Monitor: LG W2453 LCD
Video Card: ATI Radeon 3650
Resolution: 1440 x 900
DPI: 96

Hello dd976,
I would think the quickest way to resolve this is to carry out a system restore, to a point before you installed the "Korean word processor (Hangul 97)".

You may also want to clear out your registry, as some of the problems may be there, download this free app and run it.


CCleaner - Download
( backup your registry when prompted).

Give this a try and post your results, good luck.

Thanks, stoneys-nutz. I did a system restore and that solved the issue. I would have liked to have located the cause of the issue, but I'm just happy it's gone.

Glad you got it fixed.
