Hello again

I saw both this message and your previous one saying that the Fonts
folder does have the S and R attributes. So now we know:

Your fonts folder has the right settings;
Your desktop.ini is okay (you created a new one);
You can see the fonts in a Command window but not within Windows once
you reboot.

I'm really beginning to think that maybe you have something nasty on
your machine that is sabotaging your Fonts folder. Can you please try
one more thing for me? While this is happening -- that is, when you have
installed fonts but can't see them in Explorer -- open Regedit (Start |
Run | regedit <ok>) and navigate to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

Is there anything listed in the right-hand pane?
