Hi,

How far does the loading get before crashing, load it up and see what the last thing loading is?

What Operating system are you running?

How many fonts do you have installed?

Once we know more about the problem we can assist more

Hii

the loading reaches the thing after loading brushes .. but i cant catch what it says !!
its very fast !

and im using windows 2000

hmmmm i have a lot of fonts (1343 fonts).. but i dont think that this is the problem because the "Photoshop7" works normally .. but i need the "Photoshop7 Me" which is having the problems

Thanx for trying to help me .. i wish that u can figure the probelm !

lilstar,

Sounds like you may have a problem with your preferences files. Have you tried deleting them? Re-installing photoshop won't do this automatically. Here is a link describing how to do this

For people who might have the same problem :
This is the way

In Photoshop 7, replacing the Prefs is as easy as pressing down Command-Option-Shift (Mac) or Control-Alt-Shift (Windows) immediately after you start launching Photoshop 7. (Don't hold down the modifier keys before you launch, press them immediately afterward and hold them down until you see the dialog box.) You'll be asked if you want to delete the "Adobe Photoshop Settings File." Rather than replacing the Photoshop Prefs file, this replaces the entire Settings folder, include Color Settings, Actions, ToolPresets, and all of the other settings files.

I had a simialr problem and browsing through your explanation I was able to resolve the problem as well.
The key is when Photoshop start keep holding Down CTRL+ALT then Shift until the message appears.
Thank you for your help.
