Arial is a standard windows font.  You may need to get your windows disk and do a repair install of your operating system.

Use the file that Kithap posted.  I've recommended that to others as well in the past.

Can you extract the files from the zip to those directories? Or extract them to the C:WINDOWSFonts folder?
