Fonts not installing properly, and not sticking in Windows 7 64 bit

[cspyker]

I am going to throw this experience out there as a possible solution. I am a computer technical support specialist that has been in web design for 10+ years and was baffled for about 30 min with this same type of issue. I had two different font that I wanted to install on my less than 1 month old Win 7 64bit system. I downloaded these free fonts from the web and tried to install. No matter the method Right-Click, open and install, drag and drop I could not get these fonts to install. It would look as though it was working and then nothing would show up in C:/Windows/Fonts/. I disabled AV software and was also an admin on the machine.

SOLUTION: My fonts I wanted to install were on a network drive ( in my cas it was a network accessable storage NAS) but I am sure this could apply to other network drives. When I dropped the font onto my desktop and THEN tried to install. IT WORKED. Thanks Microsoft. Ugh! I hope this helps someone.
