The other day I was making a banner for my friend's website. His banner required a special letter but i didnt have the special fonts he wanted. So i searched the web to see what i could find. I found this website, i don't remember the correct url, but it was someing like 1001fonts or something like that. Anyway, I download it and installed in my computer.
After that, my photoshop CS version 8 started to act weird. It was working fine before, but now it gets stucks at the splashing screen "Reading Text Global Resources... " every time I start photoshop. I included this picture of how it looks when it gets hang.
You see, when photoshop is initializing(starting), it loads your preference file located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings
the photoshop preference file is called: Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs.psp
HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM: Follow these steps:
1. Make sure your photoshop is not running. (or hanged) you can kill it with windows task manager by hitting control-alt-delete and select the task manager button.
2. find the file called "Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs.psp" in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings\
* note: user will be whatever your are loged in as.
3. Delete this file or rename it to: Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs-old.psp (i just put "-old" at the end) - or whatver you want. The goal is so that photoshop doesnt use this .psp file again when it starts to load.
4. start photoshop, now it should load completely and it will prompt you to customize your color settings. You can click Yes or No.
5. Done
Hope this helps. If you have any comments or questions, you can post them here.

jan
cheers!! :-)
gracias, me has solucionado la vida
deleting all the seven .psp files
c:\documents and settings\[user]\application data\adobe\photoshop elements\3.0\editor
as said by ian maddocks made it work!
i tried just removing "photoshop elements 3 prefs.psp"
but the splash screen continues to hang after "reading text global resources....done"
after that i just removed all the seven .psp files
c:\documents and settings\[user]\application data\adobe\photoshop elements\3.0\editor
it works again now. it don't know which of the files actually cured the problem, but since ps boots again i don't care!
thanks for posting the tip
ian

this freezing has happened to me loads, i searched the internet and they said to delete the 'new document sizes.psp' file so i did and it worked for a while then stopped. i uninstalled and reinstalled photoshop cs version 8 and i still didnt work , then i found you and i deleted the 'adobe photoshop cs prefs.psp' file and the new doc and it works. thanks.
i had the same problem and this fixed it. is this just a file corruption or is it a virus attack?
