WINDOWS ME Font Install Option Not Functioning This is a new but relatively common problem.
The short fix ...we have been told...is:
Goto Control Panel> Tweak UI>Repair Tab
and choose , repair Fonts Folder.
Since 'Tweak UI' does not seem to be on all machines, Gateway has posted this fix: ISSUE: The Install New Font option, located in the File menu of the Fonts folder, is missing in Windows Me. RESOLUTION: 1.On your screen, locate and click the Start button. From the Start menu, click Run. 2.In the Run dialog box, in the Open field, type: Attrib +S C:\Windows\Fonts, and then click OK.
The Fonts folder now appears normally.
