When you've finished downloading, did you close the tab or window you were downloading it in, make sure you didn't have the folder it was in open either.

no i don't close the tab that i was i downloading it in.
do i have to close the tab that i was downloading the font in and the folder it was in before i put it in the "Fonts" folder?

try closing that window and also restart photoshop

Well do it, It would probably work.

it's still saying the same thing even if i close the tab and restart Photoshop

is the font packed in a *.zip or *.rar file?..but try to restart your computer..in the end it's still the best solution..

Don't drop it in the font folder. Go into your Control Panel and double-click Fonts. There is an option to "install new font." Use that. Make sure the font is the proper extension. Usually it will be something.ttf
Hope that helped.
