CS hanging "Global Text" issue

Since my CS upgrade I've had an unresolved issue with PS startup hangs at the "Reading Global Text Resources" screen but lived with them since I leave my system on and rarely have to reboot. The hangs usually lasted 30 sec.

Last night during a stormy period I shut my system down. After startup this morning I got the usual hang at the RGTR screen, only this time it lasted into the several minutes so I decided to end task CS a few times with no luck.

Searched around a bit on the Adobe forum and found suggestions from trashing preferences to the quote here:

"going thru old posts from January I found one that indicated I need to delete all the files from the CS settings folder to solve the problem. That worked, too bad I had to re-activate the software (what a pain in the ash that is). I had tried to just remove the prefrences file but that didn't work."

After letting PS sit a while longer while I had breakfast, it finally woke up. Don't know how long it took. Thankfully I rarely have to shut down PS but every time I do I run across this. Just wanted to let the good folks at Adobe know that this may not be as isolated an incident as it seems.

Vladimir,

1. To reset prefs you do NOT have delete all the files in the settings folder - See the FAQ at the top of this forum's Topic List for details.

2. Have you edited your preset document sizes in a text editor?
