I’m running Mac OSX 10.4.9 on a G4 iBook, 1.42 GHz and 1 GB ram. I have been using CS just fine until recently. I had some problems with my HD, so I ended up saving the contents to an external drive and reformatting the HD.

Since then, I haven’t been able to get CS to launch. It begins to launch and then I get a message "Photoshop CS has unexpectedly quit", and I can send a report to Apple.

I’ve reinstalled PSCS, deleted PSCS and reinstalled it and deleted the entire Creative Suit and reinstalled. I’ve repaired permissions, run fsck -fy, and Disk Warrior.

The other elements of the Creative Suite seem to be working fine, but Photoshop still crashes when I try to open it.

Any ideas?

Sometimes you can find the problem by noting at what stage PS has reached in its opening sequence when the crash occurrs! if you are able to note what is appearing on the splash screen, it would be a good place to start looking! The "usual suspects" are the plug-in folders! and the fonts, if any of these are corrupted, then PS will just crash!
Should it be one of the plug-ins! you may need to remove them one at a time! and try restarting, before you find the problem.
