Can't install font in Windows XP

[m_ridzon]

I'm trying to install a new font in my Windows XP Pro, SP2 system at home. I
have the font saved on a floppy drive. I successfully installed it on my
WinXP computer at work but then was unsuccessful at home a few hours later.
When I go into the Control Panel, Fonts, and then try to add it, I get a
pop-up message that says, "The TAHOMA_SLASHED.TTF file is currently being
used and cannot be replaced. Wait until Windows is finished using the file,
and then try again." I don't understand this error message. Why is it
popping up? How do I correct this?

Thanks,
M Ridzon

Have you tried just dragging the font from the floppy into your
windows/font folder and re-boot?

R-click TAHOMA_SLASHED.TTF, pick delete, and restart.
