Adobe Photoshop problem

I try to open the Adobe Photoshop application - but its hanging...
Anybody faced a similar situation ? Anyway to get around this ? Thanks in advance !

Any work around ? I need to work on PS fast...

Have you installed any new fonts/filters since the last time you worked? That's most often the reason for PS problems. If you haven't a uninstall/ reinstall is probably best.

Besides what Napalm just said (he's 100% correct), I suggest that you find and destroy your prefs file while the app is closed, then re-open.

Thanks Gerbick and Napalm !

Gerbs can you tell me where these prefs file are located ?

Since you didn't say which version of PS you're using, I'd rather not guess and just point you to this...

I got it Gerbick !!!
I deleted all the PS files in my Documents and it works fine now !
I wonder why this thing happened ?

Honestly, the prefs get trashed infrequently, but it still happens. I think I can go back to version 4.01 when I had to start doing it every now and then.

It's usually tied to something stupid... like you added/changed your brushes, installed a filter or two, or had a weird hiccup in the read/write process on the hard drive. Or... it just randomly happen because Photoshop just decided to take it out on you that day.

I wish I knew the secret formula how to avoid it. It still happens to me - especially after I work on monster files/images and my hate for filters is well known.

Regardless, glad it worked for you. Just something to remember in the future.

Pretty strange - First time I've faced this in my 8 years of using PS.
Better late than ever ! Thanks a lot Gerbs !!!
