I'll download fonts, right? And then I'll unzip it and then copy the file into my fonts folder. This has always worked for me. Now all of a sudden it gives me this error.

"The TTF file is currently being used and cannot be replaced. Wait until Windows is finished and then try again."

Why is this happening?
Please help.

did you try restarting your computer? if not you can always restore your computer back a week or so when the error wasn't occuring . As well as you should try downloading another font ot see if its just that particular font that won't work or if its your computer.

.... Try actually installing the font. Sometimes that's all it takes.
1. Go to control panel and switch to Classic view.
2. Click 'File' on the top, under the title bar.
3. Choose 'Install New Font' and find you font.

Well I tried restarting and I tried Installing the font the way you said but it still gives me that error. Setting my computer back a week wouldn't help because I don't know when this problem began since I took a break from installing fonts over the summer.
:\
Thanks though :D . If you come up with any new suggestions please, do tell.

.... Are you trying to install different fonts each time or the same font? Because Toya made an excellent suggestion.

As well as closing out all programs like MS Word.
