When I try to run Photoshop 7.0, a blank gray window appears like it normally does before the splash screen appears. However no splash screen appears, and after a short while, the program ceases to respond. Since photoshop has not successful run before, there’s no prefs file to delete, so I can’t try the ctrl-alt-shift solution. Has anyone else experienced/solved this problem?
Photoshop worked fine until I installed Acrobat (upon which the problem above began to occur). Acrobat had trouble running, in fact I never got it to successfully run. It would freeze shortly after startup (I’d get maybe 10 seconds to do something, then it would crash). So I uninstalled Acrobat, and Photoshop still did not work. So then reinstalled Photoshop as well. No dice. It still hasn’t worked, even after several reinstallations. I even tried system restore and a repair boot with XP, got all my updates, then tried reinstalling it again with no luck.
BTW my system is a P4 2.8 GHz, 512 MB of RAM running XP, so I doubt system specs are the issue here, especially since it ran fine before.
