Photoshop Error

For the last day and-a-half Photoshop has been giving me a "Could not complete your request because of a program error." dialog every time I fire it up. In fact, right now my Ps icon is bouncing in my dock, even though I don't have anything open in Photoshop. Sometimes it slows down what I'm doing and sometimes it crashes Ps.
Anyone else ever experience this? Any ideas for a fix? I'd rather not reinstall if I don't have to.

could be a font issue, i had the same thing happen, ended up creating a new mac login and reinstalling all fonts with a font manager so it doesn't bug out the system. things seem to be working fine now.

Î Yikes, sounds like a lot of work. I haven't installed any new fonts in ages, though. I'm deleting my settings now to see if that helps.

Control, open apple, reset.

Thanks guys – appreciate the assistance. It was driving me nuts and making what was supposed to be a short work day into a lumbering beast of annoyance.
Don't forget to vote for McCain, 'kay? (Kidding! But vote for him if you want to.)

This issue, as it turns out, was not resolved (yay!), and it's kicking my brain's ass – holding up work, actually. I'm still getting this infernal error message, like, every five seconds when I have Photoshop open. I've tried: deleting prefs, deleting settings, allocating more memory to Ps (more scratch disk space too), resetting my machine's PRAM, and running FAP to check for corrupt fonts (found an old crappy free Bauhaus font I downloaded a couple years back that was corrupted and trashed it). I'm at my wit's end, and I have three projects queued up (I can go into work tomorrow and do one there on the crappy G4 machine, but the other two are freelance). I'm also not finding anything useful on forums via Google. I'll offer up my firstborn to anyone who can help me out here.
I'll be right back; I need to eat a salad or something, 'cause I'm starved.

I had the same problem. I deleted preferences and got rid of any third party brushes. haven't had the error again

I'm still dying over here with this heinous Ps issue, in case anyone in the night crowd has any ideas. Egads.

what happens when you drag a psd onto the Ps icon?
- dog_opus0
Yeah, I am on Leopard. It starts up fine. It's just when I start working in Ps that I get that error dialog.

I have to go to bed. I would be so happy if someone who maybe understands this could help out. Thanks in advance.

Sweet success! I shut down my machine and rebooted in safe boot mode, fired up Photoshop, then quit it, shut down the machine again, and did a normal reboot. Seems to have worked, thank goodness.
