Guys, I have been using Photoshop CS for sometime now and today it will not start up. The logo cranks up and the last item on the logo when it is loading is."Version 8.0 Reading Text Global Resources... Done" and it stays there.

I am running Windows Vista with 2 megs of ram.

I never had a problem running this software before. Image Ready will still work.
I have re-install over the same directory and not affect. I un-install the software on a different hard disk on the same computer and it is still locking up. Everything else is working just fine on the system and the system is running good.

There's another post here about an older version of Elements that is doing about the same thing.
The speculation now is that there was something loaded (updated) that is causing the problem.

Anything new added/changed when this problem started ??? .. Including a M$ update ???

Try right clicking on PS icon and running as administrator, just a guess.

The other post with a PS problem solved it by removing Google Chrome
Have you installed it recently ???

[dennishh]

No I haven't, guess that's good.

I've had something similar on CS3, I re installed the entire program and it worked.

My course of action was:
Uninstall Adobe PS CS3 and all components.
Make sure no PS is left on computer, except the install.exe file
Turn OFF computer (I didnt restart)
Waited about 10-15 minutes
Start up computer
Make sure your logged in as an ADMIN
Install PS as if its the first time.
And it ran perfectly, this was about 3 months ago, had no problems since then.
