    @Hana – Very possible. Suggest you make a copy of the font (in case you don’t have that yet), and then delete the font and try again. Seems to have worked for others too.

    i try to do the ctrl+alt+shift and adjust my time but it didn’t work… the load stop at ‘Listing font’… Do you think font was the one that cause the problem?

  3. Jules says:

    @Kathy – If you only have the default fonts, then chances are that the fonts are not the problem. You could simply try though by making a copy of your fonts folder and then removing the fonts, but I’d be careful with the default fonts. Did you change anything else recently? If so, try reverting that change.

  4. Kathy says:

    How do you know which fonts are causing hte problem. I don’t think I have installed any new fonts recently bt I did notice it took a LONG time to load fonts when it was booting up and then I got the error message. I did what was said here about 4 times and it doesn’t work. :(

  5. Jules says:

    @Nan – Thanks for sharing your experiences. Good to know that some fonts can also cause this problem.

  6. Nan says:

    Yep, it was the fonts. As soon as I deleted the fonts, held Ctrl+Alt+Shift, it loaded fine.

  7. Nan says:

    I think it may be a font thing. It was working, I installed fonts, and now I get the error message. I tried holding Ctrl+Alt+Shift and I still get the error message.

    @mahdi – I suggest you try again, as this is how most such Adobe Photoshop errors can be fixed. If it does not work, you might need to reinstall Photoshop.
