This problem *just* started happening last night after I found and removed the Blaster virus and ran the Microsoft XP patch file.

I have a Dell computer running Windows XP and have an upgrade version of Photoshop 7.0. Version 7.0 has been upgraded from 6.0 and 4.0 — which both are also still on the computer. The stranger thing is Version 6.0 launches just fine.

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling 7.0 (restarting the computer in between the uninstall/install), renaming the photoshp.exe application file, tried launching it from the shortcut on the desktop and even going into Windows Explorer and finding the physical file in the folder and double-clicking on that. I get the same result no matter what I try. When it stalls, it seems to be stalling when "loading brushes".

Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m pretty much out of ideas. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Much thanks.

do a google for removing the preferences file.
this should fix the problem.

The procedure is in the Help files, which can be opened in your browser by double-clicking on the HTML files in the Help folder. Photoshop doesn’t need to be open to access these.

And while you’re at it, upgrade to 7.01 🙂

One MAJOR problem….Photoshop 7.0’s executable is "photoshop.exe" not "photoshp.exe"!
The executable file you are referencing is for Photoshop 6.0 and earlier!
