On our laptop we have been trying to work on files where we need to enter text and anytime we enter anything to do with text [like changing a font size], Photoshop [CS2] keeps shutting down.

I would look at the number of fonts you have installed. Too many fonts will really slow it down or crash.

try reducing the number of fonts as dreamer stated and if it still is flakey, toss out your preference file (prefs), it may have gotten corrupted. PS will rebuild a new PREFs file during the next launch.

the preference file has to manage a whole lot of stuff for PS and sometimes it get messy and causes PS to go all wonky...

hope this helps
