CS2: Reading Text Global Resources

Help!

CS2 won't go beyond "Reading Text Global Resources". Only default windows fonts installed on the system. Once it went thru' but it froze after that. What do I do?

Does it mean a reinstall and activation? Aww shucks....!
#1
As far as I remember, the fix for this in CS was to delete New Doc Sizes.psp in: \Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2 Setting

Maybe worth a try. Keep the old one if you have created custom doc sizes just in case.

Happens to me also, Just wait a few (or many) minutes and the program will eventually start.

Dougleax - that usually means that you have the default printer set to a network printer (which might not be available).

Chris - you are correct! , but the networked printer is available.
#5
But that's still the most likely cause to make Photoshop hang like that.

Try changing the default printer to a locally connected printer (even PDF Maker or something like that).

I deleted the file, changed printer, pray god and still cannot make my CS2 work in the desktop computer, I have been dealing with this since CS, some times it works but most of the times hang up.

PLEASE HELP !!

What else can I do?

starting a new thread with your exact problem and details of your system would be a great place to start...

<kidding! sorry!>

YES !!! it was the right god !!!

FINALLY SOMETHING THAT WORKS !!! at least for me :)

BEFORE launching PS, please press Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys, hold them and click the PS icon, when prompted to discard your saved prefrences click yes. That should do it!

It launched the PS in a second !!! WOW.... THANKS GOD

<the right one :)>
