If the "Install Fonts" option is missing:

Start>Run>cmd [enter]

cd c:\Windows\fonts [enter]

attrib fonts +s +r [enter]

Now see if the menu option has returned. If it has not, replace the
fontext.dll by extracting it using msconfig:

Hi Procexpert,

This problem can be fixed by setting the read-only attribute to the Fonts
folder, as Malke suggested. There is a small change in the instructions
though. You need to switch to the Windows folder, and then use the Attrib
command.

Alternately, type this command in Start, Run:

cmd /c attrib +s +r %windir%\fonts

See if the "Install new font" option is restored.
