ACT 2010 Start up Issue- "Required Arial font for ACT! is not present"

[robcass]

After installing 2010, when I start the program, I get the following error, "The Required Arial font for ACT! is not present"

Then pressing "OK" the program does not boot.  Thoughts? Help?

Thanks

What operating system areyou using?

You need to repair or add the Arial font back to your system as the operating system font table is not reporting this core font.

You should be able to get this font from you Windows operating system media.

Thanks for your response, much appreciated. I am running XP. I dont know if I have disk, can I copy the fonts from another computer to the subject computer instead?

[MMcFadden]

That should work too.

thanks

[robcass]

Thanks again. Do you anticipate any issues if I copy fonts from Vista system to XP?

[MMcFadden]

As long as the system accepts the fonts, you should be fine.

thanks

Thanks, but the system would not allow me to copy the fonts on the "good" computer to a drive for transfer to the "bad".  I guess I am dead in the water until I can locate a Windows XP CD?

you may be able to invoke a Repair on the machine, but it will most likely require the media.

thanks
