Times New Roman Font Not Installed?

May 26, 2010

OS: Vista Home Premium 64-bit with Office 2003

When a client asked me to do a document using Times New Roman 12, I
discovered that Vista did not have that font (it didn't appear in my font
list nor was it available in Word), so I downloaded and installed it from a
file called Times32.exe. I had to manually extract the TTF files from the
archive because running the exe didn't install the font, even though the
installer said it had. When I used Vista's Add New Font and specified the
actual TTF files, Vista said they were already installed, and THEN Times
New Roman appeared in Vista's font list and in Word 2003.

Now I have Word 2003 telling me that I'm using Times New Roman, but it
doesn't look like Times New Roman on my screen nor on paper. It comes out
in both places looking like Tahoma, which is what I set up to be my default
font in Word.

At first I thought it might be a problem with the template (.dot) file I
was using for my client, so I created a blank new document using Normal.dot
and set the font to Times New Roman. It looked like Times New Roman on my
screen, but on paper it looked like Tahoma.

Do I need to find a special edition of Times New Roman specifically for
64-bit Vista? Why is what I see not what I get?

Find The Font Folder, So That I Can Copy A Font Onto A Disk

Feb 23, 2009

I am trying to find the font folder, so that I can copy a font onto a disk to put onto my laptop. In other versions of Windows its C:windowsfonts, which it appears to be in Vista, but once in C:Windows I cannot find the fonts folder. If I go through the control panel to the fonts folder it will not let me copy the front from there. It will let me right click the font to copy, but not let me paste onto a memory stick. I have already got into Folder options and made sure that Hidden files are visible.

Times Changed After DST

Mar 15, 2010

I have a job that runs at 3:10am every day and sends me an email with the
results. All the emails before the change to DST were timed with 3:10am.
when viewed on days b4 DST. Now after the change all of these emails are
timed at 4:10am. The job that ran on the 15th is timed at 3:10am.
All of my time related options appear to be correct.

Why did the time change on emails processed b4 DST???

This also happened to files and their 'Date Modified' as viewed in windows
explorer.

It now appears if I need to prove that I created a file or sent an email at
a particular time prior to DST, it will show up as happening an hour later
that when it really happened.

Long Log In Times

Apr 15, 2009

I have several Vista business 32bit laptops,of various makes and models, but all have the same problem. They are joined to a w2k3r2 domain, and whenever the users take them home and are not connected to the domain, they are unable to login. They can get to the welcome screen and put in their domain username and password but it will sit forever at the welcome screen with the circle spinning. I have clocked it up to an hour before shutting it down. As soon as they come in the next day and are plugged into our network they have no problems. However I have found that if I log in as the local administrator, let everything come up, I can log off and log back in with my cached domain user account. i did check to see if the user profiles were actually created ahead of time and they are. I am stumped and it is to the point where I am ready to downgrade to xp on these machines as work is being lost.

Dvd/cd, At Times Not Working?

Jan 23, 2009

I have been having problems with vista on and off, but my main thing right now is with my dvd/cd, at times it will not work and i have to go to Regedit, and change some settings, but then i have to go to Roxio and uninstall and then recover and reinstall, well, i have tried to uninstall it and it tells me it cannot find the path so my roxio cannot uninstall, so, it will not recognize my cd/dvd player i dont know if im explaining it correctly, but it has become a very frustrating thing, i have run virus scans and i have found nothing i have no clue why this is happening, i have thought of running a recovery disc but im sort of afraid to do anything that may harm it any more than it already is.

Speed Up Boot Times?

Mar 22, 2008

The "problem" - Vista boot times. The fastest Ive ever managed to get it was 25 seconds, thats from the moment you see the green bar, to the moment the desktop appears. Ive all features on (effects etc) along with the sidebar, resolution is 1290 (?) x 1080 on a 50" plasma TV. Now granted, 25 seconds isnt long to wait, however what I DONT understand is how my girlfriends Sony Vaio laptop (around 1.5ghz dualcore, 1GB RAM) loads Vista (all be it 32bit) in 19 seconds.

Surely having 8GB RAM means faster boot times? I originally thought that my RAM was too slow (533mhz) so upgraded to 800mhz (fastest I can go) but no effect. I then read about Raptor drives being FAST, so installed one purely for the OS, it makes marginal difference. Ive altererd the boot to show 4 processors, timeout delay 3 seconds, nothing to be started at startup.

Ive even installed a stripped down version of Vista 64 HomePremium, taking out loads of things I dont use, again doesnt make that much of a difference. Ive heard of others getting their system to load (with the same config as mine) in 12 seconds?!! Again, yes this is truly, truly picky, but hoep someone can shed some light on this forum as to why a system 4 times faster and more powerfull.. takes longer to boot up?

Spacebar Broken 3 Times

Nov 6, 2008

This is the 3rd spacebar I have ordered. I realize there is that metal thing and where it goes in the spacebar. I checked as before to see that the metal thing was secure in the plastic holders. It was (as I thought before), and I proceeded carefully to put the spacebar back in (with the metal thing towards the back forming an upside down U). When I did, once again, the metal piece dislodged itself from inside the keyboard and I put it back, however, it's not firmy in the grooves as it was. It works, but feels different than all my other keys and sometimes, and it is not working smoothly. So now I have 3 spacebars with the metal bar. Previously, I taped it so it would not move and it worked, just not perfectly.

Screen Flickers At Different Times

Apr 27, 2008

I just bought a gateway with Vista. The screen flickers at different times. The picture on my desktop backround flickers and 75% of most internet sites I visit cause me the same problem. I have tried changing the resolution, changing the screen refresh rate, changing from 75 hertz all the way down to 60. I've followed all of the directions when troubleshooting.

Expanding Boot Times

Jun 6, 2008

im currently experiencing a longer boot time for no real reason. After a fresh install i did all the usual junk. finally i decided to run a registry clean, then update my experience score. Rebooted everything was fine, then cam back after i went out & bootup took 3 times longer! I have a very powerful system & u can imagine the frustration of having to wait after it only took about 30seconds to boot b4.

I dont suspect the registry clean, all it did was remove reference to some files i had deleted hours earlier but i could be wrong. Luckily i had made a full backup before i ran the reg cleaner etc so ill have a try at restoring & see if it happens when i do nothing to it. i had disabled some services first thing but not sure that would do anything about 2 hours afterwards.

Updates And Rebooted The Computer Many Times.

Mar 26, 2008

It came installed with vista home premium but yesterday i bought the vista ultimate upgrade dvd. I inserted the dvd and upgraded as per instructions. It was completed without any problems.I've installed all important updates and rebooted the computer many times.

Now my laptop runs really slow, takes a longer time to boot up -about 3 or 4 mins now. In my sidebar i have a CPU meter and usually both cores run at less than 50 percent but now it jumps around 90-100%?? The graph looks like a lie detector when charles manson answered no to the question if he killed anyone?!

Incorrect Summer Times In Vista Clock

Apr 13, 2008

As far as I can tell the Vista clock does not take into account that Great Britain time is UTC+1 during the summer. It is currently showing UTC and London time being the same.

Is there a setting I'm missing? I have my local time set as Pacific time and
UTC is off by one hour as it is using Great Britain time as UTC.

Remote Assistance: Connection Always Times Out Or Fails

Mar 12, 2010

FIRST, the connection is being made over the internet, with an invitation and password, not within a local network.

SECOND, we can successfully make a Remote Desktop connection to each of the computers involved. If we can successfully configure Remote Desktop, then why not Remote Assistance, which uses some of the same communications protocols?

THIRD, we can succesfully communicate with Windows Live Messenger. However, if we choose the remote assistance option with the same contact, we cannot connect. Ironically, the connection appears solid in that one contact successfully sends a request and the other accepts the request, but the connection always times out or fails. The dialog suggests that the other user may have closed the Remote Assistance session, but they have not..........

Blue Screen Of Death At Random Times

Aug 16, 2009

Been getting the dreaded blue screen of death seemingly at random times. Might happen once today, nothing for a week, then 3 times in an hour. This always seems to occur when surfing the net, at least it has never happened when I'm doing non-internet-related activities anyway. No new hardware that I haven't used before so I have no clue what prompted the sudden changes. The error screen says: IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL : Stop:0x0000000A (0x00000010,0x0000001B,0x00000001,0x821BCFF9).................

Formatted Hard Drive 3 Times Vista Setup

Apr 1, 2009

I've noticed some files on my hard drive and the Windows folder is reported as being created in 2006.Since 2006 I have formatted my hard drive 3 times using the Vista setup.I know for a fact that the last time I formatted and reinstalled was January 2009. Can someone explain why these files and the Windows folder shows an earlier date?? When selecting the Format command during setup does Windows actually remove everything form the hard drive? I have noticed that the format doesn't take very long, at least not half as long as it used to with earlier versions of Windows. If Windows doesn't actually remove everything form one's hard drive

Random Freezing: Re-installed, Windows, And It Froze After I Installed The Chipset Driver

Mar 30, 2008

My vista keeps locking up after various amounts of time, no matter whether its just idling, or im making the computer work hard. As ive read on other topics, I think its a driver issue, but I just dont know what to do. I will try another fresh vista install tomorrow and get the vista updates quickly to see whether that helps the situation. I have ensured it isnt overheating like it did initially when I bought the system, and it is now a safe and low temperature in a running state. Also, it only detects 3.5Gb of the 4Gb of RAM I have in my system. PC Spec:

Ive re-installed, windows, and it froze after I installed the chipset driver. I contiuned, and found a sound driver wasnt digitally signed. However it still crashes. I have got the latest drivers for it. For it to crash, all i did was open recycle bin, from idle state.

Slow Response Times When Opening/closing Apps And Programs

Apr 16, 2009

I need some assistance. I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop that runs Vista Home Edition. Whenver I boot up and try to open a program or application, it takes a really REALLY long time for it to open. For example, whenever I try to open Firefox or Internet Explorer or even my control panel, the window will open and will be blank. Then it will start to load but either take an enormous amount of time or, after I've become tired of waiting, I'll try to exit and it will say (Not Responding). Now eventually this goes away and the window does close, but like I said, it takes a ton of time trying to open and close these things up. If I do wait it out and I do get into my Internet Explorer or Mozilla, any links that I click or addresses that I type, it again, takes forever. I've run a deep system scan with my Anti-Virus software and came up with nothing. I did a system restore to a point where the problem was not happening and, again, nothing.

Slow Hard Drive Access Times, Gets Slower With Time!

Oct 11, 2008

this is my 3rd fresh clean install, using both vista x86 and x64, and all new hardware as well (new mobo, hd's, cpu, ram, etc):

symptom:
after a day of two of creating a user account, the hd access starts to become excruciatingly slow, and gets slower with time. when you use explorer and want to access the hard drives, the system takes 3-7 seconds to open the folder. when browsing pictures, it takes 3-6 seconds to switch to the next, etc.
creating a new user account solves the problem temporarily, until a day or two passes, and then the same thing starts to happen!

what i've tried so far:
- disabled indexing (windows search service)
- disabled hard drive indexing
- tried booting up as ide, as well as ahci
- created new install with raid0, and same issue.

system:
* e8400
* asus p5q-e with latest bios
* 2 x 320 wd 3200aaks sata drives, 1 x 250 wd 2500aaks sata drive
* asus sata dvdrw drive
* 4 gb crucial ballistix pc2-6400 (ddr2-800)

i've noticed this problem accelerates even more when using the "sleep" power mode. but even when disabling this, it still happens.

i've googled for over 2 weeks. i've done 3 fresh installs, i've replaced all the hw, and used 3 different copies of vista ultimate, with same results!

update: here is a video of the problem:

HDD Activity Indicator Lights Up For 20 Minutes And Even Mouse Cursor Freezes Some Times

My HDD activity indicator lights up for 20 minutes and even mouse cursor freezes some times. This is because of uTorrent 1.8.3 and video conversion activity I guess. Will increasing of RAM from 2gb to 6gb help? Can I combine 2x1gb 800mhz installed modules with new 2x2gb 1066mhz modules? Page file is on G: HDD already, not C:. Windows Vista is x64.

Font Sizes

Apr 8, 2009

I don't know if anyone can help me, but I was wondering something. I just got this laptop 7 months from a friend. I was wondering why the smallest font size on this thing is only 8? Is there anyway to add any font sizes smaller than 8. I need at least a 6. It is this way for every font. And i have the same problem on my desktop and it's still XP. If anyone could shed some light on this, I'd be grateful. Thanks.

Font Size

Jul 29, 2009

I edited the registry and either modified or deleted a line
regarding font size.

Since then all my html messages use size 12 in Windows Mail, Live Mail, or
Yahoo Mail.

I can specify the use of a different size, but as soon as I type anything,
the size reverts to 12.

I can change any other attribute such as face, bold, etc. and they all
work.

I would like to reinstall Windows Mail but I understand that's not possible
as it's inseparable from Vista.

I've run sfc /scannow and there are no problems.

The only solution that seems possible it to fix or replace that registry
line I screwed up.
