P: Error: To complete serialization, please quit and restart Photoshop

I've not tried that.
might give it a go later. Right now I just need it working!

It may be UK localized. Our eng team is investigating.

One thought, looking at the issue, is that restoring Photoshop's prefs may correct the issue. Has anyone tried restoring PS's prefs? http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/201...

Ok I can confirm that turning off the "set date and time automatically" allows Photoshop to load.

This however is far from ideal as I want set date and time to be set automatically!!!

Jeffrey can you pass these findings onto the relevant people and ask for a solution that doesn't limit our systems to work-arounds.

I'll check mine tonight but yes I'm in the UK.

But now it's working if I don't set the time to update automatically.

I changed the time to Apple Europe and restarted the installation, which work. The install completed and photoshop opened with no error. I closed the app and opened it again, and got that same error as before.
This is ridiculous, I can't get any work done!!

It's working now!!

iv just changed the time prefs to auto and the error has gone for now

Is this affecting people in the UK only?

I've just been into the Date and Time prefs and the "set date and time automatically" option was ticked, but the time being used was set to Apple Americas/US.
I've tried changing that to the Apple Europe option, and will see what happens next.
