Technical Help / Re: Advice from a techie needed
« on: Wednesday 09 August 06 22:16 BST (UK)  »
I have a duplicate Fonts file (well, a bit more than 'duplicate' actually, if you know what I mean) that I keep in My Documents.

I just copy it backwards and forwards between computers if the main fonts file has only the lesser / normal ones in it.

I open the duplicate / select all /  and 'copy' with the mouse, then I open the the main fonts file in Control Panel, delete what I know is messed up (if any) and click in between the font file, right click and paste.

If a font has not been deleted, it won't let the replacement be loaded.....but it's a damn good way of finding out which ones you need to delete.

I reckon if you deleted all the ones that are messed up, and selectively copied the new ones in the same method you will be OK.

Technical Help / Re: My Firewall is driving me mad
« on: Wednesday 09 August 06 22:04 BST (UK)  »
I just had a look at this....I can't see how the firewall is 'locking' the connection....If there are no real issues in the 'Exceptions' list...which there don't appear to be, I am not sure if this is a firewall issue.

I think what I would do in this case, rather than using Command to ping the IP etc, is to do a System Restore back to a suitable date when it was working OK.

START/ALL PROGRAMS?/ACCESSORIES/SYSTEM TOOLS/SYSTEM RESTORE.

It won't cause you to lose anything [but it will stop recently loaded programs from running so you might  have to load them again]

Hope it works, ALBERT
