I’ve just installed Mac OS X Panther (10.3) onto my Mac and now Photoshop CS wont start. It doesn’t even get to the Photoshop CS ‘slash screen’ before it gives up on loading.

HELP!

Did you install PSCS after you installed Panther? Did you trash prefs? What’s your memory situation? More info!

Wade’s favourite tip: try changing the time zone is System Preferences, Date & time (make sure you select the time zone AND the closest city).

Time zone change is the new "Zap the PRAM" for the 21st century.

And repair permissions is the new "rebuild the desktop"

No, I installed CS before I had Panther… it’s odd, because it works fine on my Powerbook! I have 512MB of RAM.

That’s your problem right there.

The easiest solution is to reinstall Photoshop CS.

Will,

Did you remember to trash your Photoshop preferences before reinstalling Photoshop?

Repairing permissions before and after is a good idea too.
