Solved Fonts Folder not opening

[bhanu2217]

When ever i try to open Fonts Folder either from Control Panel or C:/Windows/Fonts It never opens up, just the green line on the top keeps moving and even once it reaches the end it doesn't open up.

Please help.

Using Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit

Are you sure you wait long enough?
How many fonts did you install yourself? If you have a lot of fonts, the rendering could take some time, ya know

Go to C:\ Windows, right click on Fonts and go to properties to see how many files are in that folder.
As a comparison: I don't believe I installed any fonts myself, still the Fonts folder holds 491 files.
I remember in XP times one of our secretaries brought her PC literally to its knees by installing every font imaginable

I just recently formated my computer, so i havent installed any fonts yet.
but i have installed Corel Draw and Photo-shop, not sure if they install some fonts along with them.

There are 752 files in that folder. Not sure how

How long should i wait?
I have Intel Core 2 duo, with 4GB DDR3, 500GB Seagate Hybrid Momentous XT HDD

Now the font folder opened up but it says 0 fonts

Hi bhanu2217 and Welcome.

Photoshop does add fonts and I'd assume Corel Draw does too.

Regards 0 fonts, try this:

Click Start, type Font Settings.

Click Change Font Settings.

Click on Restore default font settings under Font Settings.

You might have to restart.

as for the waiting time I guess at least until the HD LED shows no more activity but it shouldn't take more than 4 or 4 minutes, seeing how mine with 471 fonts opens almost instantly.
