My computer is mean to me !

[salinea]

So I had Photoshop for one day and now when I try to open the program they tell me :

"Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is uncoverable."

Huh ?

And when I try the old version 5 I had before I get : "Adobe Photoshop had encountered a problem and must close, blahblahblah"

Meep ?

... frustrating. The only things I changed to my system in between was adding a bunch of old fonts which sitted on my harddrive... I tried disinstalling and reinstalling it again but to no avail.

I don't know, it's depressing. Anyone got an idea ? On the other, maybe I just need to get myself an anti-virus QUICKLY. The antivirus I used before (Sophos AV) doesn't work with Windows XP so I got nothing right now, which might explain the troubles. If someone has good suggestions of free AV on the net for Windows XP i'd be grateful.

On a totally unrelated subject, I posted the abomination on togakushishrine, aka SxK. It might be too early to complain, but i've got a feeling people are afraid to comment. So, people, you can tell me it sucks. I'll survive.

I have had luck doing a system restore on mine (xp) when odd situations happen. I have had websites take over my browser twice, and a system restore fixed it. I don't know if this would work, but it couldn't hurt I don't think.

Photoshop always did that to me when I had version 6. When I upgraded to 7, it stopped doing that. oO

In an unrelated note, I love that little icon pic.

I'm borrowing hubby's big giant computer scientist brain to see if we can figure out how to get Photoshop working for you.

First, Completely uninstall Photoshop. Sometimes clicking the little "uninstall photoshop" button that appears on the program menu isn't good enough. Instead, go to Control Panel and uninstall from there.

Download Ad-aware and run it.

Try installing Photoshop again.
