Thanks for the suggestion, I'll add it to the list.

Hi, I think someone encountered this before, but can't recall what the solution was. What version of Windows are you running? Are you trying to update from a previous version or do a new installation? If you are able to post a screenshot of the error message this would be useful. Do you know if you ...

Thanks, I'll take a look when I get a chance and see what is going on.

Hurrah! Good to know it's sorted, re-installing everything is always painful - especially downloading all the Windows updates. Perhaps worth taking an image you can restore to in the future?

When does the sof...

That's great, glad it's working. Hopefully this will be useful if anyone else has the same problem - I'll amend the title to make it easier to find.

Hi, Someone else had this problem a few years back, the trouble is I can't remember the outcome or find any of the correspondence about it! I think it boils down to the font 'Arial' either missing entirely, or the 'regular' style of the font missing or somehow not usable. You could check in control ...

Hi David, I'm assuming this is Electronics Assistant so I've moved the topic. What versions of Electronics Assistant and Windows are you running? Current version of EA is 4.31.
