When i try to reinstalll it an error box comes up and says Cannot delete ARIAL: Access is Denied. Make sure disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not in use.

You need to first uninstall the arial.ttf font before you can install the new one. Simply follow the steps below:
1. Go to Control Panel in Classic View. Do this by typing "Control Panel" on the adress bar or simply click on Start then locate the Control Panel icon.
2. If you can see the Fonts folder, you are not in classic view but rather you are in category view. To switch to classic view, click the "Switch to Classic View" on the upperleft most corner of your screen. When you click on that you can now see the "Fonts" icon.
3. DoubleClick on the Fonts icon to reveal all the fonts you are using. Locate the arial.ttf. Usually it is written as Arial (True Type) with a letter O icon and first on the list.
4. Delete it by right clicking on it and click on delete. Or simply hit delete from the keyboard. A confirmation message will prompt and simply accept yes. Now you can install the new font.
5. Click on the File menu (you are still on the control panel fonts view) and click on install new fonts.
6. An Add Fonts will prompt again to locate for the font files.
7. When you have correctly locate the arial.ttf, you can see the Arial (True Type) on the list of fonts. Simply click OK and it will install automatically within a second. After that check for your new arial.ttf font if is still messed up.
