Photoshop Probs

I installed a few thousand fonts, and when I load photoshop it will get to the point where it reads the fonts, and give me the message 'Unable to continue due to a system or hardware error. This error is unrecoverable'. Any ideas of how to fix this? Ive uninstalled and all and nothing works.

I am on XP Home with an AMD 64 3200. All drivers are up to date. It worked fine until i installed all the fonts. I guess I should try uninstalling all the new fonts??

ANy help is much appreciated. I hope There is enough detail.

About the Photoshop issue I'm not really sure how to fix it, but here's a tip for fonts: load only the ones you need to your system (using a font manager such as Typograph, Extensis Suitcase, etc.) and leave the other ones uninstalled in a folder somewhere; then you finish using the loaded fonts unload them.

Even if you have the greatest computer of all, installing too many fonts will consume system resources, and then the all-powerful-machine will act like a piece of junk (ok, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point ).

There's really no need to use a few thousand fonts -- not even a few hundred. You should probably look into a font manager program (www.softpedia.com) and scroll threw ones that look appealing, and then install them. Photoshop will update them in real time, so it's probably your best bet.
