After that, my photoshop CS version 8 started to act weird. It was working fine before, but now it gets stucks at the splashing screen "Reading Text Global Resources... " every time I start photoshop. I included this picture of how it looks when it gets hang.
You see, when photoshop is initializing(starting), it loads your preference file located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings
the photoshop preference file is called: Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs.psp
HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM: Follow these steps:
1. Make sure your photoshop is not running. (or hanged) you can kill it with windows task manager by hitting control-alt-delete and select the task manager button.
2. find the file called "Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs.psp" in the following folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings\
* note: user will be whatever your are loged in as.
3. Delete this file or rename it to: Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs-old.psp (i just put "-old" at the end) - or whatver you want. The goal is so that photoshop doesnt use this .psp file again when it starts to load.
4. start photoshop, now it should load completely and it will prompt you to customize your color settings. You can click Yes or No.
5. Done
