If you still have the installation .exe, try reinstalling....

Is it a legit copy or warez? If it's a rip, could have been bad (or a bad crack). If it's a legit copy, reinstalling might work. Is it a fresh install or have you been using it prior to the problem? (anti-virus software might have deleted a file or blocked access to it.) Way to many things that could have gone wrong. By any chance, are they automatically opening minimized?

ps is a great program. pity it wont work. spyware is pretty bad on the illegit copies.

W.A.G.D...

If your .exe is corrupted, [Mod Edit: T&C's 2b - Jak] make sure you have decent up-to-date anti-virus software to scan whatever files you download tho (..and scan before you open 'em too)

Theres always G.I.M.P.

There is always Microsoft Digital10 Pro, which allows me to do quite a bit of "darkroom" type stuff (I still don't understand it all)...

Anyway, I have had good luck with it, and I run all kinds of security stuff on my pc; good luck with yours.

Apoc.

WAGD is yours adobe 9 version?

because I had that problem and all it took was a quick uninstall - reinstall to sort it out. Works a treat now for the last 4 months...so if as a last resort give it a try.

Oh one thing, have you made sure that all the check boxes for images relating to photoshop are checked?? ie does photoshop know it can open those images?

Edit - T&C's 2b

Adobe switched to the "Tryout 2 Full Version" model after they bought Macromedia (which used the same technique).

One caveat: you should have your firewall (you do have one don't you?) block any attempt by Photoshop to gain web access. Photoshop attempts web verification by phoning home - if it finds your copy has not been purchased... well, you can guess what happens.

i don't think you can talk about that here on ATS...

anyway, i don't think "WERE_ALL_GONA_DIE" is going to need any more help, as this ATSer is currently banned...

Though I'm not new to forums - I am new to this one, which has so much information on the screen, it's nearly giving me seizures... never would've seen that had you not pointed it out... I know where to look now
