That's exactly the same error message that was crippling DVD Profiler under Linux (using Wine). The cause was a missing font (tahoma.ttf).

It seems a bit too convenient to be something similar as you're (I presume) running Windows, but have you made any changes to your computer recently that may have affected the fonts and/or registry?

Definitely sounds like a computer or app problem rather than a database issue.

I haven't made any major changes to the computer recently, and yes, I am running Windows.  And yeah, like I said, it happens both when I use the menu option and the icon option.  Any ideas?

I do have XP, not sure how to use safe mode with network capability...

I'll try after work today, one question though.  How will starting is safe mode fix the problem or help me find out what the problem is to fix it?

in safe mode less programs are running in the background that could cause problems with your network.

If this problem only appears in the profiler you should make a full database backup, uninstall current profiler version and reinstall the latest profiler version and restore the backup.
Other options could be downloading the most recent updates of XP.

That is almost always a good idea.

Yup, I always download the updates when they're available.  Just wasn't sure what I was looking for by starting up in safe mode.  I've never had this problem with profiler before so was hoping for an answer and fix rather than removing and downloading again.  Thanks for the advice, uninstalling and reinstalling is probably what I'll end up doing.

I hadn't tried changing the layout, but just did to see if that helped, but no luck!  I have tomorrow off, so I'll actually have a few minutes to sit down and futz till it gets fixed, I hope.
