The Cheez

Everytime I install a new software program (that includes
its fonts), I get the error message that I currently have
over 500 fonts installed and that by adding more, WINDOWS
will not behave properly. I have tried to manually delete
fonts from C:\windows\fonts, but then found that
everything is corrupted because I deleted fonts needed by
windows. To resolve this, I had to reformat my hard drive
and reinstall the operating system. NOT good! Where can
I get a list of the fonts that are needed by Windows so I
can clean out the excess baggage, and is there a proper
way to Uninstall rather than delete? I really need your
help! (e-mail address removed)
