Adobe CS3 Problem

[Deliguy]

I keep getting this error when I try to use my texttool in CS3

Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized

Many of my tools would do the same thing, so i reinstalled it and now they appear to work but still my text tool isn't. Any ideas?

have you checked to see if your anti-virus is stopping it? Maybe there is a limit to the number of fonts you can have?

Edit: Adobe Forums - CS3 Extended - TEXT error coming up

no antivirus running. I stopped all the services. Good suggestion though.
I don't have any font packs or fonts that didn't come with vista.

Wow! Eli.. I have taken so much from ... it'd be great to be able to help you...

It's because of a recent/corrupted font... too many fonts can fuck up your system

- Goto C:/WINDOWS/Fonts
- Right click and Select View > Details
- Click on the "Modified Tab"
- Remove the latest ones!

Restart Photoshop - Should work!

I just noticed you use Vista - Here's a solution by some guy who seems like a Vista user.
