Is anyone experiencing wrapping text problems in Windows 2000 Professional? I am experiencing it in three applications so far...notepad,sqlserver 6.5 isql, and a custom application. The problem is that the text isn't displaying properly. It looks like multiple lines are being displayed on the same line, so it looks jumbled or corrupted. But when you turn word wrap on in notepad, it displays properly. In isql, you have to switch from column aligned to tab delimited. And we haven't figured out what to do with the custom application. I have service pack 2 for Windows 2000 Professional installed and am still experiencing the problem.
I have changed fonts, refresh rates, and other display options, but to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and/or how to fix it?

I'm having the exact same problem Tara and have been through everything to find a solution with no luck so far. The problem is also in sql 7 on the same machine.
I've done enough to know that it happens when you get to over 513 characters wide (at least on my ws).
We have sql6.5 running on a windows2000 server with no problem. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with installing the office 2000, since that is not on the servers.
