If you have troubles removing your old Helvetica fonts from Windows then:

1. Boot up in "Safe mode with command prompt" by pressing F8 before Win starts.
2. In command prompt mode type "cd c:\windows\fonts", hit enter.
3. Type "dir helv*.*", hit enter and make sure your font files are listed there.
4. Then type "del helv*.*" and hit enter.
This will erase all files that start with "helv" from that folder.

NOTE: Be careful what you do and use common sense!
