I have just received a brand new Compaq PC with Windows 2000 installed and whenver I try to access the Winnt/Fonts folder, either through Windows Explorer or through the control panel, Explorer crashes. Has anyone had a similar problem? Any help would be appreciated.

hi..
maybe u should try rebuilding the fonts folder. U can do this by using TweakUI. On the repair tab, there is an option to repair the fonts folder. If this works, good enough, but from previous experience, if ur fonts folder is screwed in any way, it's extremely difficult to solve the problem and sometimes the quickest way out is a nice complete reinstall.

You should get TweakUI from Microsoft's site.

Tried TweakUI and it didn't help. I ended up reinstalling Windows 2000, now everything works.
