Hi

Hope someone can help. I’ve loaded CS2 but as soon as it appears the screen freezes. As a PC user i know nothing about memory / scratch disks etc. I have a 1 year PC and 1mgb of memory. Other programs work fine. Am I doing something wrong, do i need to check my preferences?

Any help much appreciated

You have plenty of RAM … watch the screen as Photoshop loads and see how far it gets with the ‘initializing’ text it spews out, telling you it’s locating ICC profiles, fonts, presets etc … see where it hangs …. just a guess, but often there’s a bad font or maybe an illegal ICC profile or something like that which causes these types of problems.

Make sure that you are off line and have any virus/firewall protection switched OFF. Switch it back on after install and then activate on line.

It’s always a wise precaution to switch off background protection for all installs.

Also, do a sweep for spyware too as they can throw up some problems too.
