i have posted this on tech support forum but no answers there so i thought some of u might have a clue...

Every time i start my comp. (warm or cold start), I get a message saying: 'an illegal operation has been executed. Fontreg will now be closed'.
I have to close the window every time and it also seems that this problem makes the loading time when I click certain text windows (like this window) extremely long...

What can be the cause of this problem?

Sounds like some sort of file that loads up is corrupted. My guess is that you may have a corrupt font, or maybe a corrupt registry entry.

You could run a program like Norton Utilites' WinDoctor or Ontrack's Bix Fix and see if that resolves it. Or you could just reinstall your OS. (Over what you have now. I'm not suggesting you do something drastic like formatting your drive.)

Or you could move all of your fonts from the fonts folder to somewhere else, then move them back one at a time and see which one is stuffed and delete it.
