Unable to uninstall fonts

I have tried to uninstall fonts as administrator (no one else uses my computer and I have an admin. acct) with the UAC both off on on... I need permission. Try again... and again... and again....???? I particularly want to get rid of all the annoying fonts that begin with @ to get them to the top of the list in Wordperfect X3. Any ideas please?

Re: Unable to uninstall fonts

I am assuming that when it says you need permission, you have clicked the OK / continue button to give ti permission?

Re: Unable to uninstall fonts

OK, what sort of tweaks / fixes have you performed on your system? Ever taken ownership of any particular folders for any reason?

I am too uninformed to have tweaked my system or fixed it. Once I had a problem and had to turn the clock back on it with Dell's help. Taken ownership of a folder? Not sure what you mean. Like downloading something?

Re: Unable to uninstall fonts

I am not sure but from what I read some of those fonts are *system* fonts and they cause a lot of problems when you uninstall them, and some of them may have been installed by Adobe Reader.
