Out of the blue, Photoshop is freezing at startup. It gets as far as "loading fonts" and then sits there forever. Ctrl/Alt/Del simply shows two (?) instances of Photoshop as not responding and my efforts to cancel the program result in two black white boxes and an inability to close them. I have to reboot to get rid of them. I have removed all but a handful (16) of fonts from Windows Fonts folder and tried restarting Photoshop but no luck. I am REALLY getting frustrated! Could not find anything in the knowledge base on this but surely this is a known problem. I use this program daily and need a solution quickly. Thanks.
