Okay Guys, Here it is:

I went to a clients house and after updating their Comodo Antivirus (Puke), they rebooted after system and AV updates. The system rebooted with the Wingding Font that shut this person down for about a week…Yikes! After searching and searching on the internet, I found absolutely nothing except Here try this and try that. Since I Still have my Technet internal account I found a fix that works for Windows XP. This Fix worked for Windows Server 2008 Enterprise which my client was using.

After Dabbling with it and trying the fixes from the internet, I tried this and Vola! It worked and client is happy. So If you get this here is what I recommend doing:

1. Copy the following text to Notepad

2. Click file then Save as on Notepad
(Save this as Something like fonts.reg or something like that)

3. Just keep clicking okay where the okay button should be.

4. Restart your computer.

Thats it that is all there is to it. I spent about 3 hrs trying to figure this one out. Not too complicated since I knew it had to do with Fonts. What this .reg file does is it enters in the registry automatically the key that was either corrupt, damaged or missing when the update happened. Now May I remind all of you that this happened For Commodo, this may happen with other antivrus programs.

Hope this helps you out.

Till Next time
