Hey all,

I ran a windows 2000 update a few weeks back and it patched my PC with a Adobe.Stream update. Now each time I launch Photoshop 7.0 just after loading the fonts at startup, Photoshop 7.0 just crashes/closes back out to windows.

Are these related to each other, Adobe.Stream and Photoshop 7.0?

I have tried installing and reinstalling, with no success.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Tim,

Adobe.Stream is an Active-X Control which will been modified by the windows update to prevent a malicious HTML file from writing an embedded EXE file out to the local disk. It is part of Internet Explorer, not Photoshop.

Your problem will be due to a bad font on your system which you will need to locate and remove. You could also try doing a system-wide search for adobefnt*.LST files and delete all you find – there can be dozens of them! They will be rebuilt automatically as required.

Also, try trashing your preferences…

Hi D_M, so you ran a Windows Update and then Photoshop stopped functioning?

As yet no suggestions have worked, but I am removing all of my Adobe products from my PC at present, Defragmenting all the drives, Scandiskign all the drives then try reinstalling. Let you know I go.

As I had tried installing and Reinstalling Photoshop 7.0 by itself, but even a clean reinstall would not fix it.

If that doesnt work next step for me is to fdisk, reformat and reinstall windows.

I suggest you trash the preferences, too. That won’t happen from an uninstall/reinstall.
