All my webbrowsers are displaying only bold and looking weird. Except for Google Chrome which seems to be displaying in italics. I was uninstalling a lot of stuff today, and I'm pretty sure that did it, but I don't know what I uninstalled that caused this. I tried reinstalling specific fonts from this website, http://web.nickshanks.com/fonts/microsoft-core-web-fonts but nothing changed. Any help would be appreciated.

I know I uninstalled microsoft silverlight. I had no idea what that stupid thing did so I got rid of it. ScienceApe ( talk) 03:34, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

I really liked using this program to convert to .ogg for commons. The last time I went to use it my AVG vaulted it. The article was edited on April 14 to reflect the issues (malware etc?), and then reverted. I don't know enough about computers to figure out a way to make it work. It is listed on commons as a method of converting for upload. Is there a way to find a pre-April version that works? It seems to have a 'phone home' thingy so when I tried to re-install from my HD it failed. Some sites say that a restore will fix it, so I may install, convert, restore type thing. Thoughts?-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 20:12, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
You can download older versions of the program from here. AvrillirvA ( talk) 21:58, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
A better solution (being a native build, as opposed to relying on Cygwin as SUPER does; and being open source, unlike SUPER; but still using FFmpeg as a backend, just like SUPER) would be WinFF. ¦ Reisio ( talk) 22:03, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
I got one converted and uploaded. I used a command line program, ffmpeg2theora. When did they do that drag and drop feature with dos windows? I had stuffed a copy of cmd.exe, the mp4 video and ffmpeg2theora all into one folder before I realized the easier way. The newest version of Super kept making files that pixelated in sections. This one works except VLC crashes when I try to play it. File:Andromeda and Milky Way collision.ogg. Someone may wish to try playing with the original from the source site and see if they can get a better version out of it. Most of the converters listed above didn't seem to have any .og* output.-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 15:04, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
No need to apologize. I can see how gurus can get frustrated by many of the posts here. I have a working converter and video now, but I sure wish I had known how easy command line programs were to use now (the drag/drop I mentioned above). I may try your suggestion as well. The video I finally got to work still crashes my VLC, but that may be just my sys. Thank you again for all your very helpful input.-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 21:47, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
