I've got a series of about 4 different constant problems with CS.
the worst: lately it won't start, gives me a "Could not initialize due to a program error."
I've re-installed for the millionth time, deleted shortcuts, etc. No matter what I do, it won't come up. For this computer I'm running XP, pentium 4, 2.80ghz, 3gb ram, NVIDIA Gforce 4 MX 440 card. This started 4 days ago.
Second, is with presets. I constantly have to click the preset whenever I change tools. Am I doing something wrong? shouldn't there be a way to set this to stay? This is slowing my production time down like crazy.
- messed up installation (note that Photoshop's uninstall doesn't remove all files/settings, some you need to remove manually)
- damaged video driver (uninstall/reinstall with latest)
- damaged hard drive (do a surface scan, check number of failing sectors)
- program conflict (cancel all non-Windows processes in task manager and try again)
- bad memory (run memtest86+ at night for at least 2 full cycles: http://www.memtest.org/ )
- virus
Did you try resetting your preference file, because I doubt it's being deleted during an uninstall. Also try to go back in time 4 days... did you install something, did you have an update, do you have other issues since that day with other applications, etc.
