Try Kubuntu or PCLinuxOS
when their updates screw up, its easy to re-install :^0 :^0
Sorry Oz, my religion made me do it 
It wasnt even on my mind until you stated the disclaimer
Hey another weird one if anyone knows -- Vista -- after a reboot the fonts in everything changed. Not just the desktop, or anything -- Every font in Every program tried (IE, Outlook, Word, Acrobat, Netmeeting, etc.).
And, the monitor, no matter what setting it is on will not fill the screen,
Odd
Does it happen after EACH reboot? If so perhaps the default font/desktop settings are corrupt or missing, had the fonts screw up like that in Win2K too but it was due to a corrupted font file.
Of course you did the obvious and checked your graphics drivers, or did you use the Linux drivers on them by accident. Just can't help myself, can I?
Vista update 938371
In order to replace that update, which can't be individually removed like most of the other Vista updates from what I can find, you either need to roll back the system (pre SP1) or reinstall from the Vista disk (which MOST new computers don't include anymore due to partitioned HD's.
the problem is though, according to MS KB 938371, you NEED that update in order to install SP1 and SP1 will not install until it confirms that the update exists.
Anyone else seen or know of a workaround on this one yet?
NOTE: I already know about Ubuntu, I am not looking for a Linux solution. I know that there is a Questions forum on this site, I am opening up a discussion on it as there seems to be no exact answer. I am wondering if others have seen the issue and what various solutions, if any they have come up with, and again I don't care that XP, Linux or MAC or any other OS don't have the same issue.
