Thanks for speedy reply
Have moved the thorUI window around, nothin appeared behind it. Have checked thru zone alarm's listings of allowed programs, thorui.exe is allowed and has full permissions. I have windows xp sp2 but the xp firewall is disabled (zone alarm auto shuts it off when it is installed, have checked connection settings to confirm windows firewall is disabled). Have tried opening thorUI with reduced security apps running - just zone alarm firewall, avg anti-virus, spyware guardian, spyware blaster, microsoft anti-spyware. Still getting the same results when opening thorui - as it opens there are two browser click noises (same as sounds u get from clicking back or forward on Internet Explorer), then text panel fills up with strangely sized html code. I've uploaded a screeny here to show what I mean:
I do indeed have ATI 5.9 drivers... now i think about it those drivers have changed since i did my reinstall of thorui, will take a look into the fonts deal... only other thing that might be relevant is that i've tuned my fonts using cleartype tuner to get the smoother looking type across all applications - will play with that also. Will post if I get any change so others that might have same issue can be updated.
