Text tool in Photoshop CS3 missing default resource files.

when I try to use the text tool in my Photoshop CS3 I always get a message that says that I am missing the default resource files for the tool.  How do I solve this..? And if possible, where can I get said files..?

Can you reinstall the application from your original media?
Keep in mind that if you do so you'll need to apply any updates to the CS3 product from Adobe's site again as well.

  • Using Text Tool Freezes Photoshop CC 2014.2 x64 release

    I have just updated Photoshop CC to 2014.2.0 -- 20140926.r.236 x64 release. Now I am experiencing an issue when I use the text tool to just type a few words on a new document or layer. The application seems to freeze up as soon as I start typing? I wait several minutes with nothing happening and have to resort to using the Windows task manger to kill the photoshop processes. This did not happen before I updated to this release?? Please advise how to fix this if possible to [email protected].
    I'm using Windows 7 x64

  • About Using Magnetic Lasso Tool In Photoshop CS3 Extended

    Hi All
    I seem to be having a problem using the Magnetic Lasso Tool In Photoshop CS3 Extended as when I get half way around an egales beak zoomed in at 66.67% and start to single click around the tight corners the photo is covered over with a white background and the palettes to the right of the Photo e.g. layers, channels, paths becomes white to and all you can see is the paths that the Magnetic Lasso Tool has made around the beak until you click any key on the keyboard but the annoying thing about doing that is that the path automatically becomes selected there for I am unable to draw the paths around the rest of the beak does anyone know of a patch of some kind that will correct this error?
    Many Thanks For Reading This And May Be Replying To it.
    All The Best. Regards,
    Oliver
    P.S I have downloaded and installed all of the updates for all Adobe and Adobe CS3 Software.

    Oliver,
    We have the same exact issue here with the Polygonal Lasso tool. Get anywhere from 20-80% around an object and it hiccups once and then locks up for a moment causing you to loose whatever you've been selecting.
    Symptoms include toolbars and palettes turning white and screen freezing for a moment.
    Is there an official word on this from Adobe? Or better yet, a solution?
    Thanks,
    George

  • Text tool in Photoshop CS5? Help!

    Whenever I try to use the "Text" tool in Photoshop CS5 it freezes on my Mac laptop and I have to force quit losing all of my work if I haven't saved. Help please?!

    …I installed Font Book to my computer a year ago and I guess some of the fonts were not compatible with the program.
    There's some confusion on your part.  Apple's Font Book is just a standard, integral part of the OS, and it gets installed with every installation of the OS.
    There's a different application called FontBook (no space) by Lemke software that would not interfere with anything.

  • Type Tool in Photoshop CS3 Extended

    Hi!
    I just recieved my copy of Design Premium CS3 package from Adobe. I noticed that when I activate the Type Tool, Photoshop crashes or uses a long time to activate the tool.
    I got this problem on the BETA version and thuoght it was a bug that would be fixed in the final.
    Is this a bug or is it just my mac?
    Got a macbook (Intel Core Duo 2Ghz).
    EDIT: This is only first time I activate the type tool everytime I start Photoshop

    I too am having same problem with Photoshop CS3 crashing every time I select the type tool on PowerBook G4 1GHz 1Gb RAM w/ 10.4.10. I have cleaned font cache, checked for font corruption, repaired permissions, tried other user accounts (including root), blah blah blah. CS2 version worked fine with type on same day that I removed it (following Adobe removal instructions to the letter) and installing CS3 Premium default. Fonts are all default install for Tiger and I haven't "installed" any others. I use Suitcase Fusion and everything is patched up to the hilt. I am in charge of I.T. at a large group of companies and have well over a decade of previous experience managing various prepress entities. I understand the urge to blame user error, unfortunately this time I am the user. We have 10 CS3 users here using both PPC & Intel, as well as Winblows (not a typo). For those condescending posters, please READ what these users are saying. There is an actual problem here. Besides, user shouldn't have to wear a propellor hat, you do a default install of Tiger and CS3, you ought to be able to set a line of type, period. Especially at these prices.

    I just purchased PCS5 this morning and they told me that I should download the trial version till I get the actual CDs... I have Photoshop CS4 and never had any serious problems.  After downloading and installing CS5 it seems everything is working ok... however there are 2 problems...
    1. It does not interact with Bridge 4 (when I make changes in Bridge, CS5 does not see it)
    2. Any time I try to click on 'TEXT' tool icon, the application crushes... and I cant do anything... I have to restart the application.
    Dont care much about 1st problem, but can't do without the 2nd one....
    Any ideas?
    Thanks a million in advance

    Hi
    Have you tried following solutions?
    - update Photoshop to 12.0.4
    - remove bad & duplicated fonts and clear system font caches
    - update or uninstall 3rd party font management application
    - remove all 3rd party plugins including font management application plugin
    - launch Photoshop 32bit mode
    - upgrade your Mac OS
    If above solutions don't help, please contact me ([email protected]).

  • Help! Can't use Text tool in Photoshop CS5

    When I launched Photoshop this morning and opened a file containing text and an image, I got the following error message:
    "The type layers in this document were rasterized because something prevented the text engine from being initialized."
    When I created a new, empty Photoshop document and selected the Text tool, I got this error message:
    "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    The Photoshop text tool is useless at the moment. I tried relaunching Photoshop and restarting my computer to no avail.
    Nothing has changed in my Photoshop installation except that I recently installed FontExplorer X Pro on this computer and activated the Photoshop CS5 plugin that comes with the program. I have now uninstalled the plugin, but the Photoshop text tool still doesn't work.
    Suggestions greatly appreciated. I need access to a fully-functional Photoshop ASAP. Thanks!

    Since you're having the same problem with a different font manager installed, it looks like the problem may lie with Photoshop rather than the font management software. I'm going to file a bug report with Adobe.
    Meanwhile, you might want to uninstall Photoshop CS5 (Utilities/Adobe Installers/Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium) and reinstall it from the original disc. You do not need to deactivate anything before doing this.

  • Pen Tool in PhotoShop CS3 VERY Slow

    I just installed CS3 on my laptop and am trying to use the pen tool to draw a path. I have to wait between 30 seconds and 2 minutes for each point to show up. Needless to say it's impossible to create a curve because I can't see the path. I'm using PhotoShop CS3, Windows XP Professional on an IBM Thinkpad T42. I'm not using a tablet, although I do hve one available to use.
    Thank you for your time.

    As usual could be a variety of things depending on your system. Try a search for "slow tools" to see some of the posts. Here is one on slow pen drag.

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

    Remove all unnecessary fonts. You have a classical "bad font" problem, I daresay.

  • Photoshop CS3 Won't Open Files in Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi All,
    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on my desktop. When I try to open an image file in Photoshop CS3, the program hangs and never opens it. I have attemped PSD's, JPG's, GIF's and PNG's.
    I have right-clicked on the program and selected to run it as an administrator. I have set up a compatibility profile as Windows XP SP3. I have tried both at the same time and there's been no change.
    Any thoughts how I can conquer this beast??
    Thanks!

    Change the default printer to something local, and that you know is available (either a PDF print, or an attached printer).
    The most common cause of this is a remote printer that isn't available, and the driver takes it's sweet time returning.

  • Excel 2010 missing default suggested file name in Save As dialog box

    I’m using Excel 2010 running on Windows 7 (32 bit).  When I open a certain file which produces the following message: "A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates", and then go to “Save As” (or “Save”) the
    file, the default suggested file name is missing (blank).  This didn't occur in previous versions of Excel. 
    In previous versions, Excel would automatically populate the original file name in to the File Name field.
      I have searched all over the net, looking for a way to change Excel so that it will once again populate the file name in this situation. 
    To reproduce:
    Create a new blank workbook
    save as type “Web Page”, (i.e. File name:  “Blank Example.html”)
    Close workbook
    In windows, rename file from .html to .xls  (i.e. rename “Blank Example.html” to “Blank Example.xls”)
    In Excel open renamed file (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”) and click “Yes” when prompted with the “A file is in a different file format than its extension indicates” message.
    Do a “Save As” and you will notice that the File Name is blank. In previous versions, this field would contain the current workbook file name
     (i.e. “Blank Example.xls”)
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jaynet,
    In order to re-produce this, you need to answer "yes" to the rename file prompt and then continue with step 5 (above).
    The reason for this is not an exercise in futility - I assure you.  At my work and elsewhere, when web developers have created features to permit the end user to save web data in Excel format, often times the Excel files are saved locally in Excel's
    html format (but with the .xls
    extension). 
    (I actually prefer the .xls
    extension, because it is easier to just double-click the file to open in Excel, rather than to select the open-with and then select Excel. a file with the .html extension will default open in your default browser. Now, I could change my default program
    for the .html extension, but that would only solve a part of the problem and would not really address the bigger issue and that being that Microsoft changed a behavior in Excel and may not even be aware that it was a much used feature. )
    To continue, when I go to open the resulting Excel file, I am prompted with the message that the file type does not match the extension (which is fine and not bothersome to me).  It's at this point when I go to save the file that I get really annoyed.
    In previous versions of Excel, the default file name would be pre-filled with the current name of the file and the default file type would state that it is a Web html file.  I would just change the file type to Excel Workbook and hit enter to save.
    I would be prompted with "Are you sure you want to overwrite your existing file?" message and I would click "yes" and that would be that.
    However, in Excel 2010, because the default file name is blank, I then need to re-type the name into the field to save the file. 
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Photoshop CS3 crashing at open file screen

    Hi all
    I've searched online but can't find a relative discussion or solution.
    I have Adobe Photoshop CS3. My system is Windows 7 and it's 64-bit (that's about as far as my hardware/technical knowledge goes...).
    The problem has only started happening today. Open PS, and go to FILE>OPEN. A sub screen is opened. On the left of this sub-screen are a variety of short cut locations such as 'My Documents', 'My Pictures' and 'My Computer'. Clicking on any of these shortcut tabs results in PS crashing.
    The only thing I can think of that has changed since the last time I used PS CS3 on my machine (and I use it daily) is the following:
    Installed trial version of Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014
    From this, to watch a Flash video of AutoCAD demo I had to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (it was 2011 I believe).
    Following the CS3 crashing problems I uninstalled Flash player and re-started but still no luck.
    Have not touched AutoCAD yet.
    Any thoughts / comments? My company is looking to invest in AutoCAD so CS3 will need to learn to live alongside AutoCAD (IF AutoCAD is the problem, but I think this is unlikely).
    Let me know what you all think!
    Thanks
    David

    Thanks for all the replies.
    We (myself and our company IT guy) just tried several of the above, plus some other things.
    1. Shift/ctl/alt reset preferences. Did not solve the problem.
    2. Video driver upgrade. Did not solve the problem.
    3. Complete reinstall of CS3. Did not solve the problem.
    4. Install old video driver (apparently this solved a similar problem in another area of the company). Did not solve the problem.
    5. System rollback/restore (to 20-11-2013 settings). PROBLEM SOLVED!
    We have a suspicion therefore that the Autodesk AutoCAD LT 2014 may be something to do with it. We will find out later/tomorrow as I need to get some stuff done in CS3 now (can't afford more lost time!).
    Will update once we have reinstalled AutoCAD LT 2014 as to whether this changed anything.
    Thanks again
    David
