I've had this font for years and use it for many projects but all of a sudden today it quit working on my computer, I can't get it to load on Illustrator, Word, or any other software. So what the heck happened? All my other fonts seem to be working just fine. Never seen anything like this! Thanks in advance for any help or solution!!

how about manually removing it from your fonts folder. then reinstalling it? or download it from another source.
