I have a problem with CS2. When I try to open, it it always freezes the second time it "reads preferences" in the load up screen. I have tried reinstalling it, but still nothing. Please help.  

No one??

Hey Awedacity, I've only seen my Photoshop freezing when I started it up, and then went to look in another window. You've to make sure it's fully loaded before you do something else.

I have tried that, but no luck.

How many brushes do you have and how many fonts because mine did that when i had too many fonts and brushes had to reinstall it aswell :'(

Create a new Account in windows, and re-install it in the new session

This topic is quite old and it does not need to be replied anymore ,however you can refer it.

But If I'm not mistaken, though the topic is quite old, it's also quite hard to find the answer for the question

Hint: Check your PC proformances,

Make sure that your antivirus programm/s doesn't block the application

I don't think that this is a problem with user accounts
