I have installed and uninstalled Adobe Illustrator few weeks ago. And now I just found out that I couldnt get into the Font folder in Control Panel. I dunno if this is caused by uninstalling the Illustrator.

Now I can't install new fonts because I can't open that folder... :cry:
Please help me~~~ Many thanks!
 
Can you access the Font folder though Windows Explorer (C:\WINDOWS\Fonts)?

You can also try TweakUI (available from Microsoft) and the Repair Fonts Folder tool.

Once installed...

Start
Run
tweakui
Repair
Select Repair Font Folder in dropdown
Repair Now
 
I tried using Tweakui but seems that it didn't help. When I click on Repair Font Folder, nothing happens. I click click click click it but still nothing happens!
I guess I might have to run Windows XP again... :cry:
 
Madmatt, I just tried typing C:\WINDOWS\Fonts on the bar and I can access the Font Folder now. Thanks.
But no luck on clicking in the Font Folder in Control Panel... :(
 
I would try to do a System File Check on your files.

Insert your Windows XP CD into your drive

Click Start, go to Run

Type "sfc /scannow" - no quotes

The process will take awhile to run, and you won't know when it's finished except the dialog box will dissappear. After that, reboot your PC and visit http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com to make sure your computer is up-to-date :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
