yo... need help before i reinstall this OS again... running win2k, photoshop is crashing... it initializes fine... just before its about to open fully, it closes itself down like it was never open... cant do shit... this has happened once before, i ended up having to reinstall win2k... any ideas before i throw this box out the window?
i've always been able to run this program, it seems like every 3 or 4 months it decides to do this shit...
searched for my old thread... cant find it.
to eliminate unecessary posts... again... PC. win2k, photoshop 7.

i hear PS7 is pretty buggy on windows machines.
also it is my understanding that PS7 was made primarily for the MAC OS.if you have done a clean reinstall of photosop in the past couple of months, then the problem may by in your machine. because win2k is pretty solid (comparativly). how old a computer is it? more than 2 years?
because we have run into some problems at work with older machines runnning newer software. as a matter of fact, i just got a brand spankin new machine today. woohoo!
getting ready to set up that bad boy and get to work. hot.

i would also recommend an upgrade to xp as win2k is a resource hog.

Probably an obvious question but have you tried uninstalling PS and reinstalling it?

As Pshop is launching have a look the components that are loading and see where it crashes.
There wa a bug like this and a fic on the adobe site..but that was for version 5. Odd that it is happening now.

was there a patch?
There was one for whatever version photoshop was at 2 years ago..when I encountered a similar problem.

Win2K Pro or Server?
I've been running 2k Pro with PS7 for several months now with no issue. My 7 was an upgrade. Don't know if that's an issue there or not.
Anything else funky installed on the box?
- Carty0
patch dont work... nothing funky on the machine... gonna just pitch it out the window...
- mitsu0
pitch the whole machine? could also be a bad hard drive.... in which case you're looking at a modest upgrade.
no big deal-ee-oh.
