Joey, when you say, "I do not have to option of Install New Font," are you saying that the highlighted "Install New Font" in the picture below is not listed at all? Or are you saying that it is greyed out(non-functional) like "Open, Print, Create Shortcut, Delete, Rename, and Properties" instead of Black(functional) like "Close" in the picture below?

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

So, you are saying -

Well, that picture I made was for someone with the same problem, however, they own a Gateway running Windows ME. I had never used ME at that point so I didn't know what to tell them. I later got a hold of an ME machine in CompUSA, and it was all there like in the picture. That got me thinking before that maybe it was an issue specific to Gateway. They had to call Gateway to find out how to do it.

If I can get ahold of the person that had the same problem, I will let you know what they had to do, if they even remember.

I know that Carson told you the Registry Editor way, but that is not something the average user should have to mess with, especially to just install fonts.

OK, before you try the registry thing, try this -

Start > Run > Type: Attrib +S C:\Windows\Fonts > Click OK.

Start > Settings > Control Panel > Fonts > File >Install New Font...

The Fonts folder should now appear normal, and the "Install New Font" option should be available.

If this works, buy me a beer at the next Bar 9 gig, and we will call it even. ;)

We all know what +S means, right?

It's "Plus Slash".

That was adding the system folder attribute. Did you happen to copy a fonts folder over your old one?

That happens sometimes. Good work for slash, I forgot all about that, and I will proceed to forget again.

And this folks, brings and end to the JBA font install saga. =) Many rejoiced.
