Photoshop CS2 Text Tool Error Message

This is really weird... I think this is the first time I ever heard of this kind of problem. I just installed Photoshop CS2 and everything seems to work fine instead of the text tool. When I try to use it there is an error message that pops up saying: "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being intialized."

Whats even more weird is that it allows me to drag out a very small text box (so small no text can be fit in it). After that, I can resize the box, and I try to type in it but the cursor doesn't change and I can't type in the text box. And sometimes another error message may appear saying a program error occured.

I even tried re-installing the software, and still no success.

I am using Windows Vista Home Edition Premium, anyone can help me I will be greatly appreactive!

Try resetting your text tool from the drop-down menu in the character palette. If that doesn't help reset your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.

This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.

A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

You should also note the CS2 is unsupported under Vista. Most people have had no problems, however.
