Photoshop CS 8.0 freezing up on "Reading Text Global Resources"

For some reason my Photoshop CS 8.0 that I have had for years started freezing up and I have uninstalled and reinstalled, looked on C drive for prefs (no file found), tried to delete any new fonts that were uploaded recently (unsure how to locate all of them) and still not able to open and view my files/designs that were save as PSD. I downloaded the CS6 for a free 30 day trial to see if it would opne, and yes it opened. My question is: if I purchase the CS6 will it freeze up as well? I was unsure if I purchased another version of Photoshop if it would be a waste of money and not open. I don't understand how one program would not open but the other one would? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rhonda

Ask in the PS forum. You're actually on the right track by suspecting font issues, I think. Could of course also be an issue with a PostScript printer driver and its font substitution or something with your language. In any case, just ask over there.

  • PS freezes when loading -  Reading Text Global Resources

    Make sure you have view hidden and system files turned on in windows explorer (tools> folder options)
    Delete the file: New Doc Sizes.psp from folder: C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings
    Don't edit it with notepad or externally. In cs, you create the custom doc sizes and save from right on the File> New dialog.

    That is, to a degree, true.

  • How to solve 'Reading Text Global Resources... Done' hang on loading CS v8.0 when all else fails?

    I have spent a day trying unsuccessfully to load CS version 8.0 in Windows 7, following a crash. The load proceeds until the message:
    'Reading Text Global Resources... Done', and then it hangs.
    I have tried clearing the Prefs files of all files. Didn't work.
    I have tried deleting PS altogether and reinstalling the program from the disk. Didn't work, and the Prefs files are empty now.
    I have tried removing most of my fonts*, and it still hangs. Those not removed were the ones the system would not allow me to move or delete.
    I have tried removing recent plug ins and software updates that might have caused the problem, specifically Adobe Flash and Java. Didn't work.
    What next, any ideas?
    In the panic we all know and love,
    Peter
    *in Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts or Windows\Fonts, can't remember which - does it matter?

    Hi Cooper,
    If you found any other solution in these days other than the code mentioned above please let me know as i have a similar requirement now.
    As you mentioned "It is not possible to modify variants with values longer than 45 characters",
    So if this is not possible then how can we resolve this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader?

    I design coffee labels with Photoshop then send them off to the printers. The printers then open up a PDF and put in the best before date before printing. At the moment I have to add the text form fields using Acrobat Pro after i've saved the photoshop document as a Photoshop PDF. The problem is if I want to edit the labels at a later date, I have to re-add the text form fields with Acroabat again. 
    Can I add a text form field in Photoshop that can be edited in Acrobat reader? Is it better to use another program for this task?
    Thanks in advance

    The drop down menus in Photoshop CC 2014 are too small to read without using the magnifier.  They are OK in Photoshop CC.  I have been unable to find anyplace to adjust the font size.  I have Windows 7 Pro.  Looking at the Photoshop version history, it looks like this problem comes and goes as Photoshop is updated.  It should be an easy fix.

    Try the Photoshop CC 2014 Preference experimental section 2X UI option

  • Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics?

    Why is my Photoshop Elements 5.0 freezing everytime I try to download pics from card?

    Thanks for your response. When it comes to computers, I am almost
    illiterate. I have a HP Pavillion PC and have used Photoshop Elements 5.0
    for a number of years. Computer crashed couple of weeks ago and I sent it
    back to HP. They returned it with new guts I think. Had to reinstall my
    programs and use my external backup to get all the stuff back, including
    about 11,000 pics.  Now, every time I try to put the SD card in to download
    the pics to the Organizer, it downloads about 4 or 5 pics and freezes.
    Have to use task manager to get PC going again.  Been doing the same thing
    for years and this just happened since I got new PC back. Is that any help?
    'preciate your response.

  • My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

    My photoshop elements 9 keeps freezing, can you help me?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

  • Need Help.  Can't load photoshop.  Gets hung up at "Reading Global Resources"

    I can't get photoshop to load.  It stops loading at "Reading Global Resources".  Currently running CS2 on windows Xp. Called Adobe, they won't support CS2 anylonger.  Need help please.

    Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.   A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • How to download / read  text attachment  in Sender Mail Adapter  IN XI

    I would like to know how to download / read text attachment in sender mail Adapter & sent same attachment to target system using file adapter.
    Please help how to design / resolve this concept.
    Regards
    DSR

    I would like to know how to download / read text attachment in sender mail Adapter & sent same
    attachment to target system using file adapter.
    Take help from this blog:
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/12/18/xi-sender-mail-adapter--payloadswapbean--step-by-step
    From the blog:
    However in most cases
    our message will not be a part of the e-mail's payload but will be sent as a file attachment.
    Can XI's mail adapter handle such scenarios? Sure it can but with a little help
    from the PayloadSwapBean adapter module
    Once your message (attachment) is read by the sender CC, you can perform the basic mapping requirement (if any) to convert the mail message fromat to the file format.....configure a receiver FILE CC and send the message...this should be the design...
