Mart,
I tried to copy Tahoma.ttf and couldn't. All I can do is move it to another folder, so that won't work. Eileen "Mart" wrote in message ... Eileen wrote :- Have you guys given up on my font problem?

Eileen, I presume that you meant "Paste" and not "Move" to another folder.
If so, then re-name it in that other folder, then copy and paste it back to the font folder (Be sure that you've made a safe copy of the original symbol.ttf - just in case!) To be honest, I am clutching now - I think your system's registry and font set-up is very badly corrupted/damaged and begin to doubt whether it is 'repairable' without some delicate surgery - not easily done by remote control. As I asked earlier, "Is a clean install completely out of the question?" You *may* get away with a re-install (over-install) - has to be worth a try before a clean install -but I don't really think that it will repair the damage that you've got. - Law of diminishing returns!

Well.......I now have changed and moved just about everything that looks
*changeable and moveable*.....the test will be when I reboot. And that scares the heck out of me, grin. This computer has not been turned off for more than 2 days....something I never do. But I will bite the bullet sometime and do it. Noel.....I took a look via the JV Tools Registry Cleaner and you have no idea how many programs have those blasted Image Zone Express keys in them.....it is incredibly INVASIVE!!!! Keep that thought tucked in the back of your teeny mind, ok?? (VBG) If this reboot goes OK, I will remove them. I have found folders all over this durned computer with bits and pieces from that stupid program. And I blasted HP yesterday.....not that it will do any good!! Hope you are feeling OK.....missed you when I was picking my way thru the minefield of useless XP folders, etc. So did what I thought was OK....we shall see. Tried to con Majik into coming up here and fixing it....didn't work. He prefers the Hills of Kentucky to the Great White North!! (G) Cheers.....Figgs "Heather" wrote in message ... YAHOO!! Got my Quick Launch Tool Bar back......making just a tad of progress here. When you get your head together, I will run some stuff by you. I have been studying that added hidden file intensely and I moved the Quick Launch Folder from it to the proper original *Application Data* one.....and voila....with some fiddlin', got it back.....so I now have a half-assed idea of what I have to do with this particular extra folder and subfolders....but not about to get too aggressive until I back up some of my latest stuff. But trying that little thing and having it work made me realize I sort of understand what I have to do....if that makes any sense. (G) If the two folders were identical, that would be easy....but they aren't. So I am picking my way thru it. Most of it is from the failed install. But some of the subfolders are current. Comprendez?? Cheers.....a slightly relieved Figgs "Noel Paton" wrote in message ... This program definitely has some major problems - I just loaded it into an ME VPC, and the program opens with not a word visible - and freezes. It then updates itself..... The updater then updates itself..... ( and that's a 4.2MB download!! - the dang program in the first place was only 5.5MB!!) - and then says that there are no updates available for anything on the system. However, I can't see any effects (yet) outside the program itself. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Heather" wrote in message ... I am truly baffled......but I had other problems on here before the download.....I have a lot of XP folders from a failed upgrade. So perhaps I was more vulnerable to the bad stuff!! Odd that you and I both downloaded that blasted program. I have removed it, but the Zone Image Express is right there in the middle of where my OE emails were.....so grasping at straws here. I thought perhaps it just might provide a clue to Mart. Good luck....I am still sorting the mess out on here. Other than that download, nothing else new was on here. Cheers....Heather |

Mart,
I meant 'move'. Since the Font Folder wouldn't let me copy Tahoma, I put Symbol back in the Font Folder. I need a break from this problem. Was busy all day today and going shopping all day tomorrow and will be back sometime over the weekend.
