That's basically it. I'm using Windows 7. There's no text appearing in various windows, and the desktop icons have no text below them. If I right click, then the thing that normally appears appears, except it's much thinner because there are no words in it. The symbol that appears beside "Personalize" is there, and some others, but no words. If I open task manager, it also appears blank (picture may be attached). I opened my anti-virus program, only to find that the "Do you give permission" thing that appears is blank, with some symbols and such on it (the yellow and blue shield, the blue help symbol, and the symbol of the program). Icons in folders also appear with no text below them.
I have Chrome open right now. Text appears normally when I search things and all that, but the text that normally appears next to favorite website icons is gone, and the text at the top of the window is gone too (pictures hopefully attached). I just now realized that those pictures CAN'T be attached, because when I open the thing to browse stuff to attach, there is no text (or icons). I can't search them by name, because the name doesn't appear under the file on the desktop, or at the top of the window when I open the picture.
So yeah, all the words are gone. I CANNOT update my video card driver. I recently had my computer fixed, and the problem was apparently that the most recent driver for my video card wasn't compatible with my screen. So the guy set it to an older one. It worked fine for several days. Then last night, my computer just froze. I tried to restart it a couple times, but the "Welcome" loading symbol kept freezing. I restarted it in safe mode, which I've never done before, and the Welcome icon froze again, but this time I spent a minute scolding the computer for breaking again for no reason despite all I've done for it. The Welcome icon unfroze, continued spinning, froze again for a short while, and spun again, and finally loaded everything up. I guessed at the time that I just needed to wait a few more seconds when I tried to restart it normally. I had assumed that it had just outright froze those times, since the icon was completely still for a long while.
Since the internet didn't work on safe mode, I restarted it normally, and sure enough, the Welcome icon froze, and sure enough, it unfroze after about a minute and continued loading. It loaded everything up and I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I noticed there was no text, just icons. With a word document, the word document symbol appears normally, but with no text underneath it. No text at the top of windows. Can't use Windows Task Manager, because I can't see text in it. No text appearing in right click windows. So that's my situation.
