            On XP Professional SP1 it causes a bugcheck in ATMFD.DLL. According
     to the properties for this DLL this is the Adobe Type Manager driver.

            The bugcheck code is PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA Base+0x28A75.

            You can delete the registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Font Drivers
            
            This will eliminate the immediate problem, but will remove type 1
     font support.
