It might help me pinpoint the problem.Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-72271765505339115472010-03-19T08:51:56.479-07:002010-03-19T08:51:56.479-07:00The font is a system file, so the OS might be repl...The font is a system file, so the OS might be replacing it after it notices that the files is gone (file protection). You can read more about this idea here:<br /><br />XP: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/wfp.mspx<br />Vista: http://www.petri.co.il/unblock-files-windows-vista.htm<br /><br />If you really think the font file is the cause, you'll have to boot to safe mode to get rid of it first. I recommend renaming the font file when you do this, as opposed to nuking it outright. Change the file name extension to something else so that it no longer "looks" like a font file.<br /><br />Could you post a screenshot of the error?GhostBuildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03693606878028232315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-49324271696236855622010-03-18T20:25:43.608-07:002010-03-18T20:25:43.608-07:00Hi Linda,

Weird, huh?<br />There's also a somewhat buggy file that I'm a bit suspicious of. I'll stay away and see if that helps.<br /><br />My third suspicion is that there's some borked-up font that's causing it problems. Some people suggested I remove Franklin Gothic (supposedly this goes bad). But each time I delete it, the damn thing pops back like it never left.Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-51145524033720112952010-03-18T14:21:00.572-07:002010-03-18T14:21:00.572-07:00That photo is very apt.

After a long time I got a message that it didn't reinstall.<br />Yesterday I completely <i>uninstalled</i> the thing and will try to reinstall it from scratch when I get the chance. Keep your fingers crossed.<br />I left a message at Keyframer too. Lets hope the Flash wizards will smile on me...Namowal (Jennifer Bourne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384500508934864421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-38009648059114281172010-03-18T07:19:22.914-07:002010-03-18T07:19:22.914-07:00I side with Sally.

Do you have the original Flash disc? And it's STILL not re-installing? <br /><br />Are you on a PC or a Mac? <br /><br />I bought a whole computer with the 'real' registration no's only to find out when I tried to migrate files that they weren't real at all. CS3 essentially told me: NO way. (That was such a pricey, pricey lesson.)<br /><br />Anyway, a few people at the keyframer forum might be very helpful or you can twitter/email Shawn at FITC (although they're pretty busy getting ready for their big event.)booda babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09424036488795599663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36618421.post-59556278541800618852010-03-17T21:59:30.095-07:002010-03-17T21:59:30.095-07:00Hi Sally,

To play it safe I divided the cartoon up into a bunch of separate files so if one went blooey, it wouldn't be a total disaster. <br />Then again, since Flash won't let me open anything (including completly new filesets, I may be hosed unless I figure out what's wrong.)<br />That Flash!
