Can't enter text in photoshop

[InFamous Killer]

i need help. everytime i try to put text on anything in photoshop it wont work. i tried diff fonts but nothing. i was pressing every button then it said please reinstall this product. I did and it still did not work. i uninstalled it and it also did not work.

Sometimes it's the fault of the product, though the chances of that actually happening is next to nada, so long that you've bought a legit copy of Photoshop (aka not downloaded)!

Unit Number 43 should be of some help, a lot more than I to say the least

hrm. Strangest question I've heard yet. most of the time when this happens it's because you've got a font selected that can't be used in photoshop, or because you've got some very weird font settings. In this case it's probably a corrupt settings file. reset your settings by holding down CTRL+ALT+SHIFT as it starts up, until a confirmation box pops up asking if you want to delete your settings. click yes.

FYI setting files are usually saved even after you've uninstalled a program, so if a problem persists (with any program) try a hard reset, just google "reset settings [program name here]".

thank you, but it doesnt seem to work i still can't type anything down. T_T. i checked if i can write in imageready and i can.

I had a similar problem and i had the text settings retarded, just check through them. I think its CTRL + T when you have the text tool

Hey.. This method always works. Just follow my steps here.

1.) Completely Un-Install Adobe Photoshop CS2
2.) Go to Start > Run > Regedit
3.) Navigate to this Key > HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>Adobe>Photoshop
4.) Delete the "Photoshop" folder.
5.) Navigate to this Key > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Photoshop
6.) Delete this "Photoshop" folder.
7.) Completely Re-Install Photoshop and you'll be fine.
