Right click desktop and select Properties
Click Appearances tab
Click Advanced button
Click on item(s) such as Active Window, Inactive Window, Message Box, etc. and you should be able to set the font for each. There's a button on the right to toggle Italics on/off.
There's probably a way to do this globally, but maybe this will get you by until somebody else chimes in with that fix.
That's the first (and pretty much only) thing I've tried. None of the settings there are in italic, so I really don't know where this is coming from.
I've wiped and reinstalled everything twice on here, so I'm starting to think it might be from a program or windows fix or something like that. I don't know where to start looking to find out which one it could be though.

Here's a link to MS where they tell you how to reinstall fonts.

Strange that it keeps occuring even after you reinstall XP. Maybe try using a different default font than Arial and see if that works.
