Dave, So I"ve turned off the font previews, how do I find out how many fonts are installed? Do fonts cause problems? Updated the video driver today. Regarding the 9.01 update. I downloaded it and unzipped it. Went to that file, read the read-me, started the install wizard,after a bit, an error message came up that said this version of windows wouldn't support CS2, which I have XP Pro, and have been running it fine. When I clicked that closed, the installshield said it successfully installed update. Where can I check to see if infact the update was successful? So you know where in the system I can check? Thanks!

This is what is in "system" in photoshop. I don't see anything about update 9.01
