Microsoft Core Fonts

These fonts need to be built from the web so you will build an rpm package based on a SPEC file.

su -c 'yum install wget rpmdevtools rpmbuild cabextract ttmkfdir'
  • Then create the rpmdev directory
rpmdev-setuptree
  • Switch to your SPECS directory that you created in the previous step.
cd ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/
  • Download the spec file.
wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm
wget http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
  • run the following command to build the rpm
rpmbuild -bb msttcorefonts-2.0-1.spec
  • Move to where the msttcorefonts rpm was created
cd ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/
  • Download and install the msttcorefonts and dependencies
su -c 'rpm -ivh chkfontpath-1.10.1-2.fc9.x86_64.rpm'
su -c 'rpm -ivh msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm'
  • Then run the following code to restart the font server.

How to restore msconfig utilities in wondows?

How to restore msconfig utilities in wondows?

msconfig+This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer please contact your systems adminisrator+windows XP

Way-01:

Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Look in the right pane for a value called DisallowRun. If it exists, double click it and set it to 0 (zero).

Additionally, there should be a DisallowRun subkey. In this key is the list of applications that you're not allowed to run.

Way-02:

Unless it is truly missing, the file is at: X:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\msconfig.exe (replace the X with your drive letter upon which Windows is installed).

C. If you truly have to completely re-install XP, first you must either:

(1) Intergrate (slipstream) SP2 with XP onto one CD. I recommend you do this with a free little program named "AutoStreamer". Just type "slipstreaming XP" and/or "AutoStreamer" into Google and you find plenty of sites with instructions/comments.

(2) Uninstall SP2, install XP, then reinstall SP2.
