    Installing problems
    Hey, I am downloading fonts to my computer, and I'm trying to install them. I'm going to control pannel, then appearances, then fonts, then I go to file and click instal new font, then I click on the folder and I go to press OK and a box comes up that says something about how that file is in use and try again when not in use.. im not using anything though. There was nothing open. HELP PLEASE!

    Close out all other windows while installing fonts. Additionally, check to make sure (in properties) that the font is not "read only".

    Other than this it should install without problems.

    I just tried exiting everything and they aren't read only. It still says "(filename) in use and cannot be replaced"
