[thelist] OT: Photoshop won't open

[Anthony Baker > ThinkBigIdeas]

Hey There,

I've had the same problem with all my Adobe applications when
installing them from my desktop (where they've worked fine)
to my laptop.

One suggestion, which I haven't yet tried -- but will tonight --
is that there may be a corrupted font causing the grief. I am
going to uninstall all fonts except my system fonts and then
try and boot it.

As with you, all my filters and presets loaded. The crash 
appeared to happen when loading fonts.

| wits end. When I try
| to open photoshop 7.0, which has been working fine for the 
| past year or so,
| it gets to the loading brushes then whatever the next thing 
| is I don't know,
| because as soon as it starts to do it the program shuts down 
| as if has run
| into an unrecoverable error. So I uninstalled it, and 
| reinstalled it with no
| change in behaviour. I then tried to apply the 7.0.1 upgrade 
| but it does not
| recognize that photoshop is even loaded on the machine. Any 
| help as to why
| this might be happening would be appreciated.
