I have a user in advertising that is trying to install fonts that she needs for our graphic design software. when she tries to install more then 400 the system reboots it's self. it is running win2000pro with dual pentium 500 and 512 of ram. 10 gig hard drive.

any ideas?

Since there is no restriction in the fonts folder of windows 2000 (See below.)
Let the administrator install the fonts and make sure the w2k sp2 is installed.
Also install a less amount of fonts at the same time.

(In Windows NT 4.0 and later,the Fonts folder is limited in size to 48 Megabytes (MB).

When you install Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 5 (SP5) or Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 (SP6), the limit on the Fonts folder increases to 128 MB.

In Windows 2000, there is no restrictionon the size of the Fonts folder. )

i am the admin and i did that a couple different ways on a newly installed os. i did however, find a program that switches between font folders so that the fonts can be split up. thanks
