What the fuck is wrong with my Photoshop NOW!!??!?!
 

Anyone seen this error? Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable. Lemme guess, I need to reinstall my software AGAIN!?

no, you need a new computer :)

Might help if you were using a legit copy no.1
No.2.. running adobe off a 486 is not advisable ^^

This is a brand new p4 2.4 gig and it's a legit copy.. wtf.... I've been using it for months.. all of a sudden I shut it down to install a new font (one I've had before) and it fucked up.

uninstall the new font. your font folder cant have more that 200 or so fonts... it crashes it...

... you guy crack me up.

















psssst, reinstall will do the trick. (not the whole system, just photoshop will do)

wrong

Ahhh that could be it.

I just reinstalled.. didn't help.

It was the number of fonts.. thanks tpi! :)
I was REALLY nervous there I have a ton of work to do lol

i get this error sometimes, it sucks. shouldn't be the fonts though, i have like 1600 fonts, and they all work fine.

Yo sorry there.. but wtf 200 fonts?
You guys using Win90?

98SE.. I got like 3k fonts installed.. 0-o?

really?

wow... I better start uninstalling then.... I have over 4300 fonts installed.

what version 98SE you got?

hm.. looks like i have some catching up to do ;P

Indeed.. Dunno what 98SE I got installed, prolly the latest one since they stopped supporting it the bastards...

Either that or im completely wasted.. better yet just ignore what im saying ^^

do you have a font manager? im on win98 still and probably so is Lady M, it's probably just corrupted fonts.

yes, but I only just started using one a few weeks ago.... I always just used the character map as a font manager. Simple, effective, free.

i picked up a nice little font manager off zdnet, but i only use it to occasionally update my font pages... i print them out. it's easier to look through 100 pages of fonts and actually several on the page than trial and error when looking for a new font.

np

Fonts eh ?

that would explain my problem as well ..
but at least you get an eroor message, my fucking computer just shuts off out of the blue .. losing whatever work I may have done :feels-hot
I got like 1200 fonts in there though ... time to clean house .

it depends of ram size
(windows tells that it can be problem when there is more than 500 fonts installed)

i have about 600 fonts installed and with 1 GB ram photoshop and system works perfect

I have over 3k fonts installed also. Photoshop works perfectly :)

Win XP Pro, Photoshop 7 Pro, brand new machine.. it was the fonts.. guess I need a font manager..

So who can recommend a good font manager? I would dearly like to install the rest of my fonts..

... didn´t you say, you reinstalled photoshop ??

no it wont.

Read your damn manual.

Just re - install Photoshop.

Having too many fonts installed slows down your entire system drastically. Windows loads them all on startup.

TO many fonts...

then you need a faster computer :warning

LOL, it's got nothing to do with the speed, its your amount of free RAM.

get some ddr ram and u will b just fine.

DDR makes a difference, yes. But even with DDR: do a clean booup and time it with a stopwatch, then check your free resources. Now install 100 fonts (or uninstall 100 fonts) and reboot, time it again, and check your resouces. Prepare to be amazed :)

Yep, it didn't correct the problem.. removing my excess fonts did... But I want to install them all again..

Did that, only removing the fonts corrected the problem.

This machine has ddr ram.. 512 meg...

Adobe TypeManager

or when you use Corel then it has quite good font manager

... the do it ... and like magic the problem will not occure again.

Oh yeah ??
Somebody blew smoke up your ass ....

I got more than 3000 fonts installed ... it takes longer for photoshop to boot up, but runs fine ...

Treasure :
Sometimes photoshop just does not load up properly ... and for what reasons, is anybody's guess ... try restarting the program, or even reboot your computer, and then restart.

Photoshop has over 350 DLL files ... if even just one of them is not found or does not load right, it can caus varying degrees of insanity from within photoshop

try rebooting and restarting ... and if that still fails, then you will have to 100% remove the program, and re-install it.

If you downloaded the font free on the web it could be that that specific font was corrupted. Its happened to me before....try to remove only the fonts that you installed before it started going tits up.....there isnt a limit (that i know of) to the number of fonts you can use, as long as you have the memory to support em...

I restarted the program, I rebooted, I did just about everything I can including a reinstall.. I'm definitely not computer illiterate.. You may say someone was blowing smoke up his ass, but his fix was the only one that WORKED :P
