Photoshop CS2 (Upgrade) takes about 10 minutes to Open every time I start it. It uses 100% CPU the whole time. It’s after the splash screen goes away. It just hangs there for 10 minutes without even refreshing/painting the window at all (everything goes white). After the 10 minutes pass though it works fine. Until I close it and have to wait all over again next time I start it…

The best solution I could find online is disabling Font Preview, but that doesn’t work. My Memory Usage for Photoshop is set at 55% (499mb of 908mb). I don’t know what it could be. Anyone, PLEASE!!! It really makes me think twice about bothering to even touch up my work.

How many fonts have you got? Anything over 150 can result in what you are seeing (without font management) either that or it’s one or more corrupted fonts.Below is a list of the fonts installed with Windows XP. Go through your font list and remove any fonts not on this list to another directory and try running PS again. You could also try deleting you preferences file, it could be corrupted. You say CS2 was an upgrade, from what? This could have affected your prefs file. To delete, start PS with the shift+contrl+alt keys held down.
