System fonts corrupted after restore
Hi
New to this site and I really hope somone can offer some advice.
Using a Samsung NF210 netboook with Windows 7 starter 32.
Used Acronis v11 to restore the image for the C:\ drive after the mousepad changed its settings and the option to reset them vanaished. I've never used Acronis on this machine before but found it to be a life-saver on machines with XP and Vista and expected it to be smooth and easy.
After restoring the netbook failed to boot with the message "BOOTMGR is missing". Samsung's built-in recovery replaced whatever was damaged, but the next start-up revealed a MAJOR PROBLEM.
The fonts in many system opertaions and some applications are screwed up. The attachment shows how task manager now looks (no text showing), error or warning messages show the same blank content with blank boxes for Y/N and a similar lack of text in other processes or an abnormal font is used . The Acronis image restore has also affected the the Windows System Restore and that is now showing the setting for the C:\ partition as "Off" and also again as "missing". I assume this missing point is an actual restore which has been misplaced. If so it's from the day before the Acronis point was made and would be a very good fix if it still exists.
There are, I think, two possible solutions, neither of which I can achieve without help.
1) get Windows to find the missing System Restore point. As far as I can find on Google this should be in the partition's System Volume folder, but this is locked on & starter and I can't get in.
2) repair the corrupted font(s), as apart from this everything else seems to be OK.
The seems part makes me think option 1 is best, but I gladly accept any help toward either point, or any other solution that may be offered.
Thanks
