I know this has been handled before, but none of the solutions worke for me, I try Deleting the Prefs, ..it seems to and then it goes ahea and does the same thing.

Ctrl + Alt + Shift & open CS
brings up "Delete Adobe Photoshop Settings File?" and I click ‘Yes’ then it continues through the initializing and font reading an whatnot, gets to "Reading Text Global Resources…Done" …the nothing, it freezes up, goes all white and ‘Not Responding’

Can somebody open a curtain on this?
anyone

Here are some thoughts. Look long and hard at the settings file issue. Is it possible that an administrative issue is preventing PS from actually deleting the settings file? Search for a folder named "Adobe Photoshop CS Settings" in your Docs and Settings folder and delete the files manually before starting CS. There appear to be a set of "generic" settings files as well – if those are corrupted that could cause a persistent failure.

If you have not already removed, rebooted, and re-installed PS CS, do so, and in addition use regedit to delete the registry keys for Photoshop under HKL/Software. Use regedit’s search facility to remove all keys referencing "Photoshop CS" or "Photoshop 8.0".

You may have a bad font installed that causes PS to hang. Look for the most recently modified font file and start by moving it to another folder – if you’re lucky that will do the trick.

If not, I’d advise systematically checking for a bad font file. Try moving most of your fonts to another folder and rebooting. If CS starts, it’s almost certainly a bad font. Add half your fonts, reboot, and try again, using a binary search strategy, to zero in on the defective font.

If that doesn’t do the trick, there is a developer utility called logger.exe available free from Microsoft. Logger will show the status of each and every system call, and will show you what PS was trying to do before hanging.

Be sure to post back with your eventual solution so that others may Google for it.

Thanks for the troubleshooting ideas. As the network guy in a smal shop, the 8 dual Xeon/2GB RAM boxes challenge me daily. Our graphic shop has a very liberal approach to loading software and expects me t support all kinds of wacky installs. It’s alot like dealing with "creative" accountant.

Anyway, three out of eight CS Photoshop loads started to hang durin startup at "Reading Text Global Resources" this morning. Blowing ou the settings with CTRL-ALT-SHIFT seemed to fix all three machines Photoshop launched without error but I still can’t figure out why i broke in the first place.

I’m keeping your reply bookmarked though; I have a feeling that thi error will be back.

Thanks again everyone,
