You could restore the contents of your fonts folder, then (assuming that gets Photoshop working for you again) you could do the font cleanup more methodically, trying Photoshop to see that it still works.
Are you aware of the "Previous Versions" feature of Windows, with which you could restore the fonts?

Starting Adobe Photoshop Elements, the Editor returns the error message "Unable to continue because

installed photoshop elements 8.0 with Windows 7. Worked excellent till two days ago. I got the error message "Unable to continue because of hardware or system error. Removed programm and re-installed from disk, no results!

Can you uninstall that driver, or re-set Win7 to a restore point before that driver was installed?

Photoshop "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error.

Originally installed adobe photoshop cs. This couldn't be activated and support was contact they advised to uninstall and install adobe photoshop cs2 with a serial number provided that was provided with the link. CS couldn't be uninstalled due to the following errors 'epmty temp folder' (which was done) 'program may be in use' (it wasn't) 'no internet connectivity' (internet connectivity was active). Support couldn't assist with this. So Cs2 was installed and activated successfully. However as soon as photoshop is started the following error is displayed "Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable." I've reset prefences and also removed the nvidia video driver after reading a thread photoshop has known issues with nvidia drivers. Also tried logging in an another user. I am now out of ideas as to what to try to get this to work. Can anyone suggest anything that may get this resolved.
Thanks

You mention a link. Did you download the special CS2 installation file, and not use an original CS2 file?
Your system originally had CS on it? CS is ten years old. How old is the computer you are using?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop#CS
How does this system stack up with the minimum requirements for CS2?

Remember these are _minimum_ requirements, which in reality means not even close!
If you think your system should be up to it, do what Station said, and give us a very full description of your system and operating system. (Unless it is Windows XP. )

Unable to continue: hardware or system error

Hello,
I tried starting up PE8 today, and received this message:
Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.
This only occurs while opening "Edit," but not "Organize."
I'm fairly certain I know what has caused the error - I uninstalled an old trial version of Premiere Elements the other day, just to clear out some space on my computer, and I'm guessing that uninstalled something that shouldn't have been uninstalled, something that was also used by Photoshop Elements.
I have already tried the resetting/deleting the preferences folder.
My version is Photoshop Elements 8.0. My OS is Windows 8, 64 bit. RAM is 8.0 (7.4 usable).
I have a license for two computers, and both licenses are in use.
Is this error really unrecoverable? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Deleting the settings file has been known to resolve this type of issue. How did you go about resetting/deleting the preferences folder?
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/preference-file-locations-photoshop-elements. html
Was it the Adobe Premiere Elements 8 Prefs.psp file that you deleted?
Or did you go the Ctrl+Alt+Shift hold down as you clicked (held click) on the Editor tab of the Photoshop Elements 8 Welcome Screen?
What antivirus program do you have? McAfee or other? Have you disabled the antivirus program to determine if that had any affect on the
issue?
If you have not already and nothing else is resolving the issue, consider a deactivation, uninstall, reinstall with a ccleaner run through between the uninstall and the reinstall.

Windows 7 Setup with SP1 unable to continue because of missing CD/DVD device drivers

I am trying to do a clean Windows 7 install on my T61p after slipstreaming SP1 and have two problems:
When I ran the new disc, Wndows 7 setup could not continue because 'CD/DVD device drivers were missing'. I found this odd because when I installed Windows 7 using the original Lenovo Windows 7 Upgrade Media (used to make the SP1 disc) no drivers were missing; and
When I reverted back to the original (non SP1) media windows setup could not install to the selected partition because of an error, which was something like 0x8000031?
Solved!

Hi,
That's a not-very-helpful catch-all error message. It can mean a lot of things, most of which are not a missing CD driver.
It's usually caused by a bad download, a bad burn, or maybe in your case a failure in the slipstreaming process.
Z.
Thanks. Yes I found so many references but deep among them a microsoft one referring to a bad burn or low quality disc. So I tried the burn but this time with the DVD RW in the Ultra Bay rather than USB which I assumes means it was a lot faster and everything has worked fne. Thanks

Have you trashed the prefs? If not, try that. Other than that we'd at least need some basic info about your system and some info from your system's event viewer regarding the crashes...

The fonts required for Photoshop CS5 are listed at the bottom of this document:
Troubleshoot fonts | Photoshop CS5
You may want to look at performing a repair install of Windows as well. This doesn't require anything super complicated, it simply checks for missing system files and adds them back in. But you need a Windows installation disk (where the replacement files will come from).

Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error...

...Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable.
Este problema me está matando...me sale aleatoriamente cada x tiempo sin razón aparente. No he tocado nada de configuración y ha aparecido de un día para otro al arrancar el PC. He desinstalado, reinstalado; desinstalado, reiniciado y reinstalado; lo mismo en otra partición...imposible, sigue sin arrancar. He leído en foros ingleses sobre un problema ocn excesivas fuentes...nada. Tenía mil fuentes y funcionaba ok y he instalado algunas más y borrado otras tantas y me he quedado con 500 nada más, o sea que no puede ser eso supongo. ¿Qué puedo hacer? Ayuda POR FAVOR! Gracias.

Hola Claudio
Primeramente debo aclarar que no soy ningún puritano en ningún aspecto en particular. Fui músico por muchos años de mi vida, y vi he hice de todo lo que hay por hace o mirar. Sin embargo, aunque llegué a tener algunos problemas, jamás inicie alguno por tratar de imponer mis ideas, costumbres o simplemente por comentarios maliciosos sobre otras personas.
Personalmente a mí, no me importa tanto los problemas gramaticales, especialmente en los foros de Internet, sin embargo, si me preocupan los ataques directos hacia otras personas a quienes se les ataca por el solo propósitos de atacar, sin tener alguna razón específica para ello. Por ejemplo; si en este foro, que fue creado con el propósito para problemas de Photoshop, se pregunta como hacer para conseguir una acción, y se pregunta con varios errores gramaticales, yo no tendría ningún problema personal, moral o ético, para responder. Ahora, ataques personales ya es otro cantar.
Sin moderador va a estar difícil para controlar este foro, o cualquier otro foro, por lo tanto creo yo, que es el deber de todos de tratar de mantener este lugar exclusivamente para lo que fue creado. Quizás deberíamos tratar de abrir otro fólder para temas mas abiertos, como un café (?) Quizás en el fólder de Otros Temas?
Tus sugerencias y la de otros serian valiosísima para intentar algo así. Por ejemplo, yo radico en el norte de California y quizás alguien necesite fotografías de San Francisco o Yosemite, o hablar del clima en España, Chile, o de cualquier otro país. Las ganancias y conocimientos serian tremendas creo yo. Y no lo digo como negocio, sino como crecimiento personal.
Como sea Claudio, gracias por tu contestación, y créemelo que no esperaba menos de ti.
Un saludo y un fuerte apretón de manos.
Sin más

.vi's unable to run because of real-time Startup error

See that attached files for the error. Whenever I try and deploy the code onto the robot the attached error comes up. Is there any fix for this or is this a new error? I have also tried a completely new C-Rio project so that it is the basic settings that FIRST gives us. This same error comes up with that one also so I am thinking it is a computer problem on my end.

It sounds like there is a start up application already on the cRIO that has different versions of these VIs as dependencies. I'd recommend turning on the NO APP setting on your cRIO. Depending on which cRIO you have this will either be a hardware switch on the cRIO or a setting you can change in Measurement and Automation Explorer.
