I have PS 5.0 and it was working fine. I added a new video card: XTASY 9200 SE 128mb AGP and now photoshop will not load. The splash screen starts and it disappears after "initiating ICC engines" appears I tried the suggestions on removing the photos50.ini but that did not work. I am using Windows XP. Help!!!

it’s a corrupt icc color profile.

try rerunning adobe gamma from the conrol panel. if that doesn’t fix it you need to find and delete the corrupt color profile. i’m not sure where they were stored with 5.0… someone should be here sooner or later to fill in the blank.

Dave,

i’m not sure where they were stored with 5.0<<

That’s an O/S thing not an application thing.

In XP/2k, %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\color\

IIRC in Win95/98 it was %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\ (but it might have been spool\color or drivers\color <g>)

Nothing seems to work. Can I completely un-install PS5.0 and reinstall? I don’t even see it in the Control Panel under add/remove programs!

Rick,

Yes, but I don’t think it will solve your problems! You need to find the ..ICC or .ICM file that is causing the problem and get rid of it – chances are very good that it is a monitor profile.
