When I tried to install a font on Windows 7. There was a alert that "Access is denied". How can I solve this ?

Well I can only suggest you have the UAC turned off because I have taken ownership and set the Windows 7 font directory and registry key permissions to allow users change access but the UAC keeps prompting for administrator credentials.

I hope this helps!
