Thrasher:
Things that can also mess it up :

What EvilEd said ^
Incorrect video card drivers
Bill Gates
The Cat
Some random act of vengeance by a bored 11 year old...

Oh - NOW you tell us!

It's obviously requiring some font that is missing - in order to render correctly. You can either overlay it with 2000, or find out what fonts you are missing by comparing with another 2000 machine.

EvilEd:

--- Quote from: "gords" ---I should add - many months ago, (nearly?) all fonts were deleted from the system during an upgrade to add extra fonts. All the fonts were replaced but this was the result!

Back in appearance
Advanced (Button)
Change "Item" to "Message box"
Change font to something smaller, mine is tahoma - 8pt
you should see the effect on the example immediately

gords:
I have already gone through all the options in Appearance and compared them to another machine.

I have just removed the graphics card drivers and reverted to the Windows default driver - no change!

EvilEd:
Looks like a backup of data and see if your restore points go back that far... failing that, then create a recovery disk and do a "Repair" on the windows install.... just be prepared for lots of windows updates and to re-install any apps if they need it.

I would try changing all those to different fonts to see if you've got a "Different" tahoma or similar....

That's what I'm desperately trying to avoid :roll:

The "standard" Windows dialog boxes are fine (such as the one Thrasher posted). It's the "3rd party" ones that go wrong!?

It seems to like there's either something set wrong in the registry or a file is corrupt ... I just can't find what/where! I've been Google-ing for hours :(
