[HELP] What is wrong. Please help.

Hi to you all.

I'm a Aqua fanatic and i've been moding my windows xp for along time and i already did so many changes that i cannot make a list of all the changes.

I've been with a problem for a long time and i cannot solve it and this forum is my last hope to solve it.

I think some DLL in my system was changed in a way that defaces most of the sites i see. Not only with Internet Explorer, but with Firefox it does the same.

The problem in the sites i see is that some FORMS are very very wide.

You can see an example in:

https://clientes.netcabo.pt/

See how the username apears to me:

And se how the MSN Messenger popup apears wide to me to:

See anothe example right here at Aqua-Soft foruns:

Does anyone has any idea how can i solve this?

Please help because browsing the sites right now seems like a nightmare.

Cheers

Strangely enough,I suffer from the same problem.

at first i thought it was a firefox-only problem, so i posted it on Mozalline forums, and in the IRC room.

No one knew how to fix it thought.

Then I figured out the problem was on IE and other browsers too.

Strange.

both of you are using flakitesp2, right? what you have to do is uninstall the 'mac shell dialog' reghack.

#254384

hmm, I cant find "mac shell dialog" in flyakiteOSX

#254393

right. it was removed for the osx version. the hack i'm talking about is only for the sp2 version. sorry. another thing to check is: is your theme using any one of the lucida fonts? if so, try changing to another font. i've had problems with the lucida family.

#254395

But lucida looks so good!

Does anyone knows how to disable this manualy?

Because i've instaled flakitesp2 before Osx ever existed, and i've deleted all files. So right now i can't unistall it

Tks

Well, I've never installed flyakiteSP2, only OSX.

My guess is somewhere along the line your MS Shell Dlgs registry entry has been moddified.

My suggestion is to open RegEdit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionFontSubstitutes

Change the key MS Shell Dlg to "Microsoft Sans Serif" without the quotes, and change MS Shell Dlg 2 to "Tahoma" without the quotes.

When you've done that, restart. If it is still not fixed, it "could" be the font your visual style is using. You might want to try switching to Luna or Classic and seeing if it happens. If it doesn't happen on another visual style you know it was an issue with the visual style you were using.
