Can I reinstall Windows XP system safe fonts?

Is it possible to reinstall some or all the fonts in the system without having to repair or reinstall the operating system? Recently, I did this and do not want to have to reinstall all my applications and drivers, if I can avoid it.

Thank you.

Try the following:

  1. Open the command prompt and go to the folder i386 from your Windows XP CD-ROM. using the command "expand - r", copy all the files .tt_ and .fo_ missing from the Windows folder.
  2. Use the following examples, replace E: in E:\i386\ with the drive letter for your DVD/CD; Replace c:\Windows with the drive and directory of your Windows installation and the name of the font file with the missing font is replaced.
  3. for. FON font files
    Expand E:\i386\Sserife.fo_ C:\Windows\Fonts\Sserife.fon
  4. for ".". TTF font files:
    Expand E:\i386\Arial.tt_ C:\Windows\Fonts\Arial.ttf
  5. Repeat for each missing font"
  6. Restart the system.

    I'm sorry, but you will need a Windows 9 x / ME drive to provide during the XP installation from the XP disc is a version upgrade. There is no way around that. See if you can find a friend with an older operating system disk (not a recovery disk) to support qualification. Otherwise, you would need to buy the full version (not upgrade) of XP to install on the computer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I reinstall windows after replacing the hard drive? Laptop did not come with a disc.

    My internal hard drive went bad in my laptop, easy to replace and relatively inexpensive. However, the laptop came not with the windows disk. So, how can I reinstall windows once I replaced the hard drive?

    Basically, you have two choices. You can communicate with the person who made the computer and see if they can provide either a set of Windows Vista restore disks (I would assume) or an installation for Windows Vista (probably OEM) DVD. If the second choice, determine if you will need to download device drivers or software packages from their web site. OR, you can purchase the operating system of your choice, retail. The wisdom is that, if this is your choice, you see if you will need the device drivers and get those of the web site of the manufacturer.

    Once you have the disks, install in the usual way.

  • How can I reinstall windows 7that I deleted by mistake

    How can I reinstall windows 7 I have somehow deleted by mistake

    Method may vary according to the resources you have.

    1. For some, you press a certain key combination at an appropriate place in the boot process. The machine will use the files in a hidden partition on the hard drive to get us back to the State as delivered. Of couse, this deoes does not work if the machine has no such partition partition either because he has never done or has been deleted or damaged some time after the initial installation. Check the computer manufacturer web site or documents accompanying the machine to determine if this applies to your machine and, if so, the keys used.
    2. For others, locate you and use a disk or a set of disks that came with the computer. You will place the DVD in the boot from the DVD drive and follow the prompts on the screen to install the OS and, possibly, the applications and utilities provided by the manufacturer.
    3. For others still, find you the retail DVD and reinstall, as it has done before.
    4. And still others, you must use a value recovery disk you did once the computer has been configured with a program/utility provided by the manufacturer of the computer or you got to a 3rd party or one provided by Windows 7.
    5. And, in certain circumstances, depending on how the system has been removed, a recovery can be performed using a partition recovery utility is included in Acronis Disk Director (not free).

    After that, you need to maybe reinstall applications and backups user files or install media or re-downloads/downloads.

    If you have Windows 7 with an OEM license agreement (it came pre-installed on the computer is the most likely scenario for this, but you can buy OEM copies so) or you have a license to retail (upgrade or full version) - the way your question is worded is very specific - you * can * install Windows 7 costs/clean on this same system as much as you wish.  A new hard drive won't stop you activation - well that at some point, you need to activate by phone, as opposed to over the Internet.

    Now - if the motherboard is replaced and it's licensed OEM and replacement was not that of the OEM that probably set up your computer...  Then you have a problem.

    Unless you happen to have a license of Windows 7 retail sales, so it is not related to the computer (motherboard).

    I think most of the technicians know how to use a recovery partition, but the real problem for the recovery of Windows 8, it is each brand (oem) will need an installation disc for their particular model. We can install a Dell windows 7 cd on any PC OEM and after doing the updates, it will itself attest. With windows 8 you can even not windows to be installed on the PC if the disk you put in does not support security in the BIOS.  In other words, you need the proper (HP, Dell, etc.) model numbers version of Windows 8 recovery CD similarly be able to install it.
    If you are a system integrator or building a PC for yourself I think that the normal OEM cd should work as long as you you know number OEM KEY or product key. Its the BRAND PC which will be a pain in the buttocks in the future for technicians who have to reinstall Windows 8 on a VIRGIN hard drive AGAIN.

    Original title: re install windows 8.1.

    I have problems with my computer and want to re install windows 8.0. I had upgraded my computer windows 7 to windows 8 but can't update windows like systems to give me an error that it cannot find a file and he needs me to insert the media.  I insert the windows disc 8, but the system indicates that it is not the correct information.  He is looking for another disc?  I created a recovery usb drive, but that doesn't seem to help.  I feel that I have completely new install windows 8 but I am nervous of course think I mess up something.  given that this computer was originally shipped with windows 7, I have to use the recovery discs I've done initially or is there a way to create new ones with the new windows 8?

    Hello and welcome!

    If you are using a CD to upgrade of Windows 8, then there not all reinstall the files included for a full Windows.

    Your best option is to use the recovery partition on your hard disk or the recovery CD from your PC back to Windows 7. Then Windows 7 SP1 upgrade and get all updates. Then, move to Windows 8 again.

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.
