Default Someone With Windows Vista Please Help Me!

Hello,

I had a bunch of free fonts installed and I wanted to delete all those junk fonts because I just got Adobe Font Folio 11. I accidentally deleted some of the default fonts and I cannot get them back. Because of this Photoshop will not open because it gets an error when "initializing palettes" and causes Photoshop to stop working.

I'm about ready to go insane. I've been searching google now for over 3 hours to try to find the default fonts that come with Vista but I cannot find them anywhere. I've tried everything from installing other windows software trials like office, power point, outlook etc because they install the default fonts. But those fail because "permission denied. failed to create font. make sure you have permission", which makes no sense because the account I'm on is the Administrator and only account on my computer.

I've tried finding download sites to download the fonts. But 90% of the sites link to the same site which gives me a "cannot be found" message because the file has been removed. And the other 10% of sites just link to another site, which links to another site, which links do another site which are all just filled with google ads.

I've tried loading my Windows Vista disc to see if I could get the fonts that way but didn't work either.

If anyone can help me out please let me know. I got some work to do and I cannot do anything at the moment.

Thanks.

as yuo have Windows Vista, you can go thru the official installer and install ONLY the fonts...

and it is illegal to request pieces of that software.

you can go there for the free fonts: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...ista_typefaces

You can download a program called Recuva that will scan wherever you deleted your files and allow you to recover them.

<font color="darkgreen">Run your Vista CD and opt for the Repair option. It wil overwrite all your system files but wont destroy any of your data. Then you can go back and do a Windows Update to patch them back up. Also, Service Pack 1 was released earlier this week.</font>

I strongly recommend you hold off from installing SP1 yet. One user complained that the update disabled video card drivers, while others complained that it slowed down their system, or caused blue6 screens.

<font color="darkgreen">It is a problem with the hardware manufacturers not updating their drivers yet. Most are updated but some are not. So Mcrosoft has made Windows Update detect if you have any of the incompatible drivers. If it finds you do then it will not present SP-1 to you. Supossed to be my Mid April when all drivers should be updated.

Performance improvements are indeed true. If someone is having slower performance then I would question their system specs and if their drivers are certified for Vista or not because you can also manually download SP-1 and install in which case if you have incompatible drivers it will not prevent you from installing SP-1.</font>
