Question

Can't open Photoshop CS2 anymore!!

After several months of being a satisfied Photoshop User, I suddenly cannot open Photoshop CS 2. I keep getting the message: "An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application." Other information is not given.

I tried reinstalling Photoshop CS several times, restarting, deleting even userfiles, and so on. Nothing works. From the message I'm given I take it there's a specific Windows file that is missing or something not from Adobe itself, which I had before. I did have my AntiVirus running before but I can't find any removed files in there. All other applications run fine, only Adobe seems to have problems so far.

I also tried to follow the Support files here on the site, but the solutions they give there do not fix the problem! Photoshop starts normally, I see the startup screen just fine, but then I get that message again.

Is there anyone who can help me out please? I'm quite desperate.

What does any of this have to do with the SDK? I dunno. That's where the original post was. That's where I posted a link directing the conversation to a more appropriate forum.

And that's where you jumped in to continue the thread with sound advice* like "stuff is broken" and "figure it out." Similar to the Adobe corporate response to this issue: spoken with authority, but of little practical value.

*Unaware, apparently, that this attempt at a fix has been tried and found wanting by users everywhere, as a simple Google Web and Group search shows.

Delete or reset the preferences, or figure out what's wrong with the user settings.

And what does any of this have to do with the SDK?

Is there any way to un-corrupt them?

If a new user works, then your preferences or user settings are corrupt.

Having a similar conversation here:

I'm still searching for a fix, too. I just posted an awkward sort of work-around, but it really doesn't feel like a Solution.

Very frustrating.

Try asking on the PS Windows (or Mac) forums. There are a lot of people that are
there that have a lot of experience with this kind of problem.
