OpenDNS is a service you can use where you enter in some different DNS numbers in your network settings than what you would normally be using from your provider.  Even if you do not currently have any problems, it can speed up your browsing.  Check it out at www.opendns.com or give us a call and we can help you get it set up on your Mac.

One first thing to check for is to trash your Photoshop preference files and see if that fixes it. However it may also be due to some corrupt fonts or font cache on your computer. Once again, we recommend Font Explorer X to solve this program. Font Explorer X is a free download and well worth your time to install and learn to use so that you get a handle on your fonts. Good luck!
