Clicking On Font Folder Results In Freezing The System?
Mar 24, 2006
I currently use Adobe Photoshop for much of my work, I require various specialized fonts, such as the ones done specifically for films, TV and Bands alike.
Whenever I click to go into my fonts folder, you know c:windowsfonts, it freezes,it just gets stuck there, an I need access.When this was working, downloaded fonts only worked at the time i placed them in.The .ttf file stayed in the fonts folder, but when I came logged on at another time after logging off/shuting down, the font was no longer in the drop down lists in the Microsoft programs/photoshop, and like i said was still in the fonts folder.

When I click the 'my computer' icon in windows xp it takes a while to load, upwards of 20 seconds to display my hdds etc. I made some changes to services.msc last week in an attempt to speed up my machine, any thoughts on something I may have disabled which would result in this?

A friend of mine clicked a link in an AIM message that gave me a virus, haven't been able to get rid of it. Hijackthis log is attached. If I don't figure this out soon, I'll have to buy a new HD so when I format I won't lose everything.

I double click on a Jpeg it opens in Windows Paint instead of the Windows Fax and Picture viewer as it has always done.BMP and GIFS still open correctly When I check under properties it states that Windows Picture and Fax viewer is the programme it opens with and that is highlighted in the drop down column. I can open them when I use the right click drop down menu and select preview, then it will open in the viewer. I have ran Norton Antivirus, spybot, Ewido, adaware. I have tried changing the Jpegs to open with paint, then changing it back again, still won't budge.

mouse stops moving and when I click a small circle appears --- Multiple clicks will usually restore the arrow -- Sometimes moving the arrow starts to move a frame which I don't want to happen.--Zone Alarm usually shows incoming and outgoing colors but will freeze and only show the ZA in lower right blue area

I have just removed Vista from my PC and re-formatted my hard drive, before installing XP. When I try to playback any video, it opens the player, tried both mediaplayer and nero showtime, then freezes the entire PC. Have loaded all the usual codecs but still no joy

I have a problem. When I double click a folder, I am sent to the Search Results folder and the content of my folder is not displayed. To access the files from a folder I need to right-click and click on the Open command

I've been installing fonts onto my computer and I have probably 1600 or so in my folder now. Now whenever I try opening the folder it unexpectedly quits. I don't think it's a memory problem, cause I've got plenty of it. Also, it won't let me install any more fonts cause it keeps closing down.

I think this is going to be a little hard to explain but I will try. When I open a folder in My Documents,some documents show up with black font,others are white font and I can't figure out why.I have to hold the mouse over the document to see what it is.I have a folder with all my newsletter emails and some are in black font some in white.It doesn't seem to matter what the file ext. is.

I forgot to backup my Font folder so when I reformatted Windows all sites were rendered with an unpleasant font. How can I get those basic fonts back?

New install of OS, all MS security & crit updates. Nothing extra. Few apps installed.
When I right click on file(s) in a folder the screen blinks, and I hear the sound of a USB PnP device being added to the system. Of course no evidence of a PnP being installed. No USB devices are attached. All USB ports have been tested and are good. And worst off all - This is intermintant.

The windows Explorer search feature works well enough for most file searches except when looking for files on a disc. On those occasions, the In Folder results point not to the disc drive but to c:documents & settings[name]Local Settings Applications Data. In short, not to where the files are. To add insult to fubar, clicking on any folder in the list results in -- absolutely nothing because I am clicking on a phantom folder (duh). I know that if I scroll across to the right, miles outside the screen view, I'll finally see where the file in question actually resides -- major and unappreciated pain. Is there a config or reg edit somewhere that will allow me to set the In Folder to show the file where it actually is, referencing the disc drive, instead of the above c:. If not, at the very least, I think Microsoft should share some of what the Einstein was smoking the day he came up with this one.

I really like this font in Vista and was wondering how I could install it into XP? I was going to do it by installing the powerpoint reader 2007, but it looks like it doesn't contain the font.

The system's default font is now Wing Ding, which if you know is nothing but a bunch of symbols. I have tried to do a system restore past the date when this problem started but nothing changes. I've done a lot of searching on google but nothing has worked thus far.

I use CorelDraw and with it comes a little app called Bitstream Font navigator. I try to use it as little as possible though as it always messes up my system fonts. Normally it comes right again after a reboot. This time though it won't change back. Seems it's stuck on Tahoma or something. how to change it back to whatever the default system font is?

is there a SAFE way of changing my system font because i want my OS to look more customised than it already is.i really don't know what to do since when i look at other forums i find that you have to change the registry and sometimes the computer doesn't like it and i don't want to risk damaging my system.

Every time I install a new font in windows my internet explorer browser (version 6.0) displays everything in italics. So I restore my system back to the point before I installed the fonts - and everything is fine. Even if I install just ONE font and it is NOT an italic font, my browser display turns into italics again. This is driving me crazy and I don't know what the problem is.

I have a weird issue (relatively minor one) concerning my system tray on my XP SP3 installation. This has gone on for several months (if not years) now on my custom computer. I am pretty good at computing in general, but this stumps me right now and then! (please view my computing specs if you can see them, if not PM me.)Apparently, whenever I click on any icon in my system tray on the start bar, it will usually show the right click menu for the TASK BAR. Does this make any sense? I wish this would not happen. If anyone knows how to resolve/fix/stop this, please reply to this thread, please. Thanks!!! I am running a genuine (valid) copy of XP SP3, with all updates. I do not run any illegal modifications or otherwise illegitimate software at this time, so that is not the cause of this at all. I swear by the number of hairs on my head, if that is not enough, then the amount of stars in the universe!

Currently I have been this problem once this in a while. Whenever I one click, it does what double clicking do. It doesn't happen always, but it happens once in a while. Somebody told me its a bug in Windows where you clicked only once, but Windows think you have double clicked.

Back in November, my computer wouldn't recognize the hard drive. After replacing the hard drive, it still wouldn't recognize it. So I replaced the motherboard. I have since been plagued with a problem... Every so often, the computer freezes up, I can't operate the mouse or keyboard and must reset the system. It's not just during one process that it occurs. It's almost always when I run Outlook Express, but it happens at other times, too.

I read an article on slashdot.org which states that if windows users do not install the windows genuine advantage update that windows will stop working. Apparently this is supposed to be happening this fall. I have installed the Windows Genuine Advantage update because well I had no choice but I haven't installed the Windows Genuine Advantage Notification update (KB905474).These are separate updates. If I do not install the notification update will this mean that windows will stop working or do I just need to install the Windows Genuine Advantage update for windows to continue to keep working?
