i reinstalled windows xp pro on my pc after having some issues with a messed up version of xp pro and now when i go to certain sited i am missing some fonts and characters. does anyone know where i can go to get an install pack or something that has the missing items in it? for example, when i go to myspace, instead of seeing the little characters that some ppl have in their names, such as butterflies or skull and cross bones, i get a little box with some numbers in it, other sites i get question marks in the place of letters. its really no big deal, but i would like to see things the way they are supposed to be and the way i was seeing them before the windows re install. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Those symbols are generally when it is a different language, that is not recognized by the operating systems language package.. At least thats what I've noticed.

to post a screenshot just hit the PrtScrn button on your keyboard. its up above the insert, home, page up keys. up by the F12 key.
then go into mspaint or something and hit paste. then save as a jpeg or whatever other file you are using
