The precise cause of a program error usually lies in your software presets being different from those of the file you are trying to open, for instance when you are using a Middle Eastern text engine while the file you are trying to open uses an East-Asian one. You can try and reset those presets by opening Photoshop, then search for ‘Photoshop’ (in the top left corner) > ‘Preferences’ > ‘General...’ and finally select the ‘Reset Preferences On Quit’ button. This will reset all preferences to the standard Photoshop presets after restarting Adobe Photoshop.
