If you cal see my screen.jpg in http://www.geocites.com/SiliconValley/Horizon/8217/screen.jpg you can see that in the bottom of my screen setup apear 3 botons without text in it, only can see a line, it ocurrs after I install cuteFTP.
Ok, I see your problem.
Tell me how you uninstalled cuteftp.
I recommend you get, if you don't already have one, an uninstaller; I use cleanseep.
Then, using the uninstaller, reinstall CuteFTP, then remove it with your uninstaller.
==============
it's apprarent that somethingh is lingering onyour system from Cute.
Here's my method for installing as I test tons of software.
================
My Foolproof Installation And Removal Method
Take 5 extra minutes on installations and you
will always have a uncluttered system; and maybe
prevent yourself from having to reformat your harddrive
and reinstall Win95.
Utilities Needed:
1. Get WRP, free.
WRPV3.ZIP is the Best and easiest Registry Backup/Restore
I've Seen. Go To:
http://www.webdev.net/orca/ and Search for WRP and
download it and install. It's a well written batch file operation
that saves your,
AUTOEXEC.BAT
SYSTEM.DAT
USER.DAT
PROTOCOL.INI
SYSTEM.INI
WIN.INI
CONFIG.SYS
MSDOS.SYS
And will restore all to there original state if needed.
This has save my tail on many occasions.
2. Wmatch.exe. This small free utility can be obtained from
http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/. It's 199.526 in size.
PURPOSE
WMATCH lets you place the filenames of two directories in
side-by-side windows, and then shows you which files are the
same and which are different.
3. Cleansweep, or a good installation monitor that records
changes to ALL system records. Including C:\Windows files,
C:\Windows\System files, System.ini, Win.ini, Config,sys,
Autoexec.bat, Protoco.ini, and most Important, your Registry.
OK. 1st thing to do is make a new directory, I call mine A-win,
then a subdirectory called A-sys. Putting these on a separate
drive is preferable, but if you don't have a separate drive,
the new directories will do just fine.
Now, open two instances of you file manager side by side.
Highlight all the files [not folders] in C:\Windows and Drag them
to A-win, thus copying them. Then do the same with
C:\Windows\Systems, Highlight and drag all files to Subdirectory
A-sys.
Now you have a easy to get at backup of the important files.
3. The extra mile: Copy all between the double lines and paste it
to notepad or your favorite text editor, then "Save as" Change.bat.
===================
@ECHO OFF
fc before.reg after.reg > changes.txt
===================
OK, the installation begins:
1. Here, before you do anything, you open your registry and export
the entire registry, named "BEFORE.REG" to C:\1
(C:\1 is my saving directory.)
Then after all the installation is finished you export again
only call this Export "AFTER.REG".
2. Run Wmatch and make sure that there are no "Different" files between
C:\Windows and A-win, nor C:\Windows\System and A-sys.
3. Run WRP backup for a fresh copy of your important system files.
4. Close all running applications; you must leave Explorer in your
Task Manager/Ctrl+Alt+Del on. 95 won't run without it.
5. Start your Cleansweep Monitor.
6. Click Start.....then Run.....then type or browse to the setup program
and run your installation.
7. If the program says to reboot, go to your Cleansweep Monitor 1st
and Stop the Monitoring, save the report to a text file, name it the
name of the "program.txt". Close the Monitor then reboot. Not all
programs need rebooting on installation.
OTHERWISE, After the installation of your new software you should
run it once before you stop Cleansweep Monitor.
Most of the programs store their settings not only during the installation
but during the first start. To log these modifications too, it is recommended
to start the program once, open some windows before you stop and
save your Cleansweep Monitor log.
8. Open your registry and make your "AFTER.REG"
then open a dos window and CD to you C:\1 directory and run your
"Change.bat". That will produce a text file that neatly shows you all
of the changes made to your registry. I always rename the
"Change.txt" to the name of the program.
9. That's it. You now have all changes recorded and the ability to
completely uninstall it if you don't like it.
10. If you're going to keep it, run Wmatch.exe and copy all new files
to their corresponding directories; A-win and A-sys.
If you want to uninstall it. Run Cleansweep remove. That takes care
of everything in most cases. If your removing the application either
right away or soon, when you do, re-boot to Real Dos Mode and
CD to WRP, EXAMPLE:
C:\WRP>RESTORE [enter]
and it will put your registry and other system files right back in the
exact shape they were in before the installation.
11. Run Wmatch to see that it shows no differences in your windows
files or your windows\system files periodically.
12. This sounds like a lot more work than it really is. It's about 5 extra
minutes on installations and you will always have a uncluttered
system.
Did you save your registry BEFORE you installed Cute??

Hi qrt
I think I know little about your problem, it's rather rare then
widely "popular" case. And I remember, I did test install - uninstall
Cute FTP (it was about ~ october 9 last year, release day of
Cute FTP 2.0) - just for trying similar effect.
This can be caused by a corrupt or missing Marlett font, which is a
hidden font located in the Fonts folder..
Try this:
Replace the font by extracting a new marlett.ttf file from your
original installation media. The file is in the win95_06.cab cabinet
file on disk 6 if using floppy disks, or in the win95_05.cab cabinet
file if using the CD ROM. To do this, type 'extract /E /L
C:\Windows\Fonts win95_0_?_.cab marlett.ttf' at a DOS prompt, or use
CabView, one of the PowerToys. You must set the file's Hidden and
System attributes after extraction by typing 'attrib +s +h
C:\Windows\Fonts\Marlett.t
Please note: Cute FTP do NOT use registry for storing own
config data, instead of this prg using Cuteftp.ini in own folder.
... But if U uninstalled prg and want clean registry from Cute FTP
U can check and remove these keys:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pfc\CFK
@="3518732c,1" <-- here and below might be some different lttrs/#
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pfc\CFK
@="3432f87d,5"
Important!!!
Be carefull - this a Registry, play safe, do registry backups
before editing registry.
Key is \pfc\.. not \.pfc\.. its in lower part of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
If key \pfc\.. have ANY additional entries: subkeys, values etc..
do NOT remove \pfc\.. - only remove CFK.., If there nothing
more - just as above - highlight \pfc\.. and click Delete.
BTW this key not connected any way with your problem,
remove this only if U want clean from Cute FTP registry
(prg uninstall will not remove this key).
OK now try 1st part - reinstall Marlett.ttf
and let us know if it helps.

Tahkyou to all.
