Photoshop CS 2 - Program Error?

[dpaanlka]

I now cannot do anything in Photoshop (open files, create new files) as it gives me an error that says it couldn't complete the task because of a "program error"

This after installing a new hard drive into my PowerBook and transferring the old contents over via disk utility's restore option.

What's going on here?

Maybe try reinstalling Photoshop?

Maybe try reinstalling Photoshop?

I reinstalled the entire CS 2 suite today and it still doesn't work.

It's bizarre how all the other CS 2 apps - including ImageReacy, seem to work fine. Only Photoshop is displaying this behavior.

As of this week, I'm having the same problem. Photoshop throws a "Program Error" when attempting to open a file and when creating a new file. Photoshop opens but wont do anything.

It originally started last week w/ PS 7. I then installed the CS2 suite thinking it would fix it. Photoshop worked once fine then went back to "Program Error".

I've tried deleting the preferences folder and the com.adobe.Photoshop.plis, still l nothing. I'm running 10.4.7 (w/ 512MB RAM, crippled memory bay, whole other issue).

Is it a possibility that Photoshop would throw a program error from insufficient memory? Does anyone has any other ideas?

Did you all try the old standby (hold down apple-option-shift while starting Photoshop, then yes to the "delete" prompt)? That very often fixes it.

No such luck (on my machine anyway, dpaanlka?).

That's a good trick though. I hadn't heard of that one.

Yes! Something worked. Thanks for the link to the support page. I've been looking for that all morning.

As recommended, I deleted all the printers in the System Prefs and things seem to be back in order. Photoshop opens files and can create new ones. I haven't reinstalled the printers but I wasn't using most of the ones in there anyway. It could have been a combination of the settings needing to be reset and the printers needing to be rebuilt? That's my guess anyway.

At least now I can get some work done. Thanks so much for you advice!

Yeah I deleted printers and prefs as well, and suddenly it worked.

Didn't work when I only deleted prefs though.
