Hi,

I have PS CS2 on Windows XP.

When trying to open a NEF-file from File/Open (in OS-style) Photoshop just closes down without any warning. The progran just goes away. This happens without clicking on the file, I just have to point on it.

If I switch to File/Open (Adobe style) the problem goes away.

Anybody knows WHY???

Try uninstalling any Nikon software (which has been known to cause problems with PS), then reset your preferences file which will have becoem corrupted following the bad shut-down. Details of how to do this are in the FAQs

Thanks chrisjbirchall!

Actually I do not have any Nikon software installed for the moment, I just got a new computer and have only installed a few programs.

The problem is not related to the new installation of PS, it worked fine last week.

And yes, I have reset the preferences file…
