[thelist] OT: Photoshop won't open

[Aaron Holmes]

I can sadly say that I can confirm the same problems here.

Adobe Photoshop 7 loads and immediately after splash screen exits,
continually. Problem persists after multiple reinstalls, virus/malware
scans and disk checks. 

The problem first occurred while Adobe Photoshop was in use. An
unexpected termination of that application ensued and since then the
problems noted have been experienced.

I believe that it may very well be an issue with the fonts. However, are
there any ideas as to why a particular font or set of fonts would
suddenly malfunction (Windows corruption problems come to mind, although
I'm more concerned as to whether or not Photoshop itself is the
culprit)?

Has anyone reported this to the Adobe developers as of yet?

I've done a bit of searching and found the following (may not be of any
use)

This one looks right on path and I'll be attempting things mentioned
here next:

Hope this helps guys

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.

| 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

| help as to why
| this might be happening would be appreciated.
