Hi. I’m running my old Photoshop 5.5 on one of my second machines (XP Pro). My main one has the CS3 Production Suite.
The 2nd machine has a limited user and administrator user accounts (I keep it on the limited user unless I need to do administrative stuff).
However, I can’t seem to run Photoshop on it any more, as it gives me this bogus error about not being able to initialize photoshop because the file is locked. It tells me to use the Properties in Windows Explorer to unlock it, but I don’t understand how (the file doesn’t seem locked anyway). I’m sure this is some annoying Windows security thing (due to it being a limited account).
Is there some easy fix I can do so a limited user can use Photoshop 5.5?
