Fonts being deleted in windows 8.1! Is an update the cause?

Hi,
After a reboot nearly all fonts are missing in the fonts folder. It has much influence to the running programs, they sometimes don't work at all!
When I reinstall the fonts, they seem to still be there, but the same time they are missing. And after that reinstall they are back. But after reboot they are gone again.
I read on the internet that an update of Windows could be the cause.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Regards,
Maarten

Hi MaartenvL,
Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.
It seems that you have no development problem, right? This forum specify for discussing and ask questions about the Visual C++ IDE, libraries, samples, tools, setup, and Windows programming using MFC and ATL. So It may be a good choice to ask the
issue about windows update on the answer.microsoft.com.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

Content of my document folder being delete in windows 8,1

From couple of months all saved data in My Document folder is being delete repeatedly, its like the folder is flushing automatically. Please help me with this. Thank You

Or do you have any Synchronization Settings? I mean your document folder might sync with another folder (it's content is empty ) automatically in the background.
And tell us something about this document, is it in a local place or a network place ? Does this issue only happen in Document folder?
And if this is a redirected folder, then check this policy Move the contents of [FolderName] to the new location . This setting moves all the data the user has in the local folder to the shared folder on the network.
You can find more information about fodler redirection in the following link

Windows 2008 r2 Server: Cant update the group belonging

Hello,
I have a Windows 7 client computer which is administered by a Windows 2008 Server.
When I try to change the local grants of the user account in that client computer, it appears to me the following message:
"Cant update the group belonging for NameDomain\user"
As result I cant change local grants for the user. I cant change his status from administrator to user of that machine.
Can anybody tell me how can I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback. Did you mean that the issue exists after you removed
DameWare tools?
Please make sure that you have more than one administrator account on your computer, or you can't change it to a standard account since Windows requires at least one administrator account on a computer.
If you have another administrator account, you can try to use it to change the user’s account type.
Best regards,
Susie

I have problems with pop up windows after earlier today I updated the software

I have a macbook pro, and I updated the software today, I have OS X 10.9
After I did this I started having problems in safari with pop up windows, before it only happened with some sites, but now almost every site I try to open it also opens
pop up windows, and some sites have underlined words that link to other sites for advertising.
I really don't know what to do and I've read several posts of people that also have had my problem but I don't the solutions.

My i pod touch is not being recognized by windows 7, I have done all the suggestions through apple website, and still the problem persists.

I have done everything that Apple Support has suggested, What can I do to fix this issue without having to replace the ipod?

I am afraid that the solution did not work... the ipod touch of mine seems really not functioning. It receives an electric isgnal from the computer but it doesnt sync at all... Whenever I put my ipod touch off and plug it to my computer it turns on but it doesnt sync... .. Moreover, I have used different PCs so as to try it syncing.. I have used mac book pro and windows 7 laptops but it gives similar feedback, which is NO FEEDBACK at all...

Hi, sophiaskoub.
Thank you for the question. The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer. See the first article on how to disable this feature. The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

How to change fonts in iTunes for Windows?

Typeface in bold type is difficult to read and I want to change it. I looked everywhere online and could not find a simple solution, but then found one myself which seems to work. I have iTunes 10 and Windows Vista.
For some reason there's a conflict or problem with the Helvetica fonts.
Go to the folder C:windows/fonts. Wait for full font list to load, then sort in alphabetical order. Minimise that window, then open another Windows folder and navigate to a folder where you know you won't accidentally delete a folder. (I have a folder named "Keep" that I never move or delete to store important stuff). Create a new folder in that folder (organise>new folder) and name it Helvetica fonts.
Restore the Fonts window you minimised, then locate all Helvetica fonts you have (they should all be together if you sorted alphabetically). Select all Helvetica fonts and click and drag across to the Helvetica fonts file. You may be asked to confirm permission to do this. Confirm that all Helvetica fonts are in the new folder then close that window.
Return to the Fonts window and delete the selected Helvetica fonts. You will be asked for permission and get several pop up windows checking you really want to do this. **For some reason I was not able to delete Helvetica bold but the fix still worked.
When all Helvetica fonts are deleted (except for ** above if you had that problem too), then go to File>Install New Font at the top of the Fonts folder window. Navigate using the drop down box to find the folder where you saved the Helvetica fonts. The Helvetica fonts should all list in the right hand pane of the dialog box. IMPORTANT: at the bottom of the dialog box is a check box "Copy Fonts to Fonts Folder" - make sure this is NOT checked. You do not want the fonts reinstalled in the Fonts folder. Click Select All, the Install. All fonts should install, but their actual files remain in the new folder you created. As long as you don't delete this new folder the Helvetica fonts will be available to all programs which need them - but for some reason iTunes will now select a different font to display in iTunes.
And if it doesn't work the way you want, simply re-open Windows/Fonts, then repeat the installation instructions above but this time make sure the check box "copy fonts to font folder" IS checked and all will be restored.
Did this help anyone?

Issue with .cp file being deleted automatically!

My content team has complained about entire .cp files being
deleted without them deleting it and not being in their recycle
folder etc (3 different complaints). They couldn’t find them
anywhere, including the recent project list in the captivate
dashboard when you first open it. I was skeptical when they told me
this until this evening when it happened to me. This is a HUGE
issue, especially considering I have spent 10hrs on this file and
just published it to production and now it needs to be redone.
I checked with my developers to confirm it was the same
circumstances as mine and it is. It seems to occur if you are
closing a project and while it is closing, if you happen to be in
Windows Explorer with the closing .cp file name highlighted in the
folder. It disappears! I watched it with my own eyes. I checked my
recycle bin and it is not there. I checked the recent project pane
and it is not available for me to select.
Has anyone else seen this? If you haven’t, make sure
you do not do the above to make it happen!

Messages are being deleted automatically

We have been using TB successfully on Windows 7 for a couple of years having previously used Outlook.
My wife's incoming e-mail messages are being deleted after one month. They are also deleted from Webmail. The ISP says that they have not been deleted by the ISP but by a 3rd party program. We noticed the problem when searching for an old message. (I just checked using an old XP-enabled computer and all the old messages are there except nothing since June 25 2014.)
I noted this morning that all of my sent messages have disappeared. For the moment at least they are still on the ISP's webmail.
I checked our TB settings regarding retention and deletion, including those of 3 addresses that don't have the problem. They all look OK.
Can somebody please advise on what our next steps should be? Many thanks.

If you had pop and now want to use imap you need to create another (new) email account in Mail.
When you start creating a new account, press the option key when you click the Continue button and you will be given the choice of creating the account for pop or imap.

Downloads being deleted when Firefox closes

Since the latest update of Firefox my latest downloads are being deleted when I exit the browser. What I have to do to get around this problem is to copy the downloaded files and past them elsewhere before I close the browser. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it again but the problem still persists. ANy help would be appreciated as its very annoying.

I'm not sure why you wrote above: Cookies - OFF if you were clearing cookies.
Clearing cookies that way also clears cookies (including Flash local storage), so I would have suggest that if cookies were included in that list.
That is why I posted to check in Safe mode because that would be another possibility.
To summarize:
In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
*do not clear Cookies
*do not clear Site Preferences
Clearing cookies will remove all specified (selected) cookies including cookies that have an allow exception.
*Tools > Options > Privacy: History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Clear+Recent+History
Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
Let all cookies expire when you close Firefox.
* Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Keep until": "I close Firefox"
Make an Allow exception for the ones that you want to keep.

Trackstarts are being deleted when cutting a region?

Right now I'm working on a live album and it's the first time I'm working with WaveBurner. I've got several wave files of a gig which I'd like to burn onto a CD.
Everytime when I cut a region (in order to get rid of seconds of crowd noise between two songs which I don't want on the album) my track starting points are being deleted.
I think I'm doing something wrong but I can't find why... I'm working with WaveBurner 1.6.
Thanks in advance.

I think I've already found the problem myself:
For some reason, the track start markers are connected to the 3rd region in the edit window. The problem with this is that (for instance) the first track start marker has a starting point of -37:14 (negative, relative to the starting point of the 3rd region.
Can anyone tell me what the point is for this feature?

Static DNS record deleted automatically- Windows 2008 R2 SP1

Hi,
I have scoured the Interweb and tried all suggestions to no avail for this one. Here's the scenario:
My client has a Windows 2008 R2 SP1 (Windows 2003 domain/forest functional level) server which is a DC and DNS server. The problem is that a DNS record for an Exchange 2010 server is getting deleted every 10 or 40 minutes. This started occurring for no obvious
reason a few weeks ago. The impact is that users cannot connect to Exchange (caching does not seem to help with this, which is odd). I disabled scavenging, which did not resolve the issue. I enabled auditing and found a 4662 event revealing that the domain
administrator account was deleting the server A record (and pointer record). Why this is happening is what I am trying to investigate next: possible bug? The zone is configured as non secure- maybe making it securing it would help? But this does not explain
why the record is being deleted. There is no NIC teaming implemented, which I understand can cause issues.
As an interim measure I created a script employing dnscmd that recreates the record every 15 minutes, which works for the most part, but not always, which is why I added a deny permission on the record for the domain Administrators group, seems so far to
have prevented the record from being deleted.
Any advise on the cause of this and how to investigate why the record is being deleted will be much appreciated!

Hi- thanks for that. However I have seen those links and already followed them: I turned off scavenging (default 7 day configuration) and the record still gets deleted (scavenging date is not due till a later data in any case). Also the record is static
so it would not get scavenged? The option to delete the record if stale is unchecked.
I already enabled auditing and identified event 4662, which identified that the domain administrator account that is deleting the record:
