Ever since I upgraded to w2k Professional, All my symbol characters aren't being printed, eg. In MS Word2K all my bullet points come out as ampersands, or when I create a pdf file for the bullet points appear as 2 question marks. I tried this with a w98 and NT system and they work fine, is there a patch for this problem?

This has more to do with your printer driver then a windows system patch. Download the latest win2k driver from the printer manufacture's web site.

Most likely you need to upgrade your printer driver if you haven?t done that yet? W2K should recognize your printer in any case, unless you need to check the HCL and see if W2K support your printer otherwise try to get the latest compatible driver from the Internet.

Tip: Have you tried using different Fonts?

You could also try to delete the profile you are logging with and create a new profile and than check if this will solve your problem.

Good Luck!
