I've got a G4 733 DA running 10.3.9, with Adobe CS2 installed, and
somehow Photoshop CS2 got corrupted and won't open pictures anymore.
I sought help on the Adobe website, and someone there suggested
logging in as a new user to see if it worked then. Well, Photoshop
does work fine for a new user account, which means that the original
user account is damaged, and repeated tries to fix it have failed
(permission repairs, Disk Warrior, fsck -y, plists trashing,
reinstallation of Photoshop, reinstalling the entire CS suite, etc.
etc.). No go.
So, since the original user account appears to be corrupted, and
unfixable, I've been advised to do an Archive and Install to get a
fresh system and user account that works.
Yes. If you have a problem with one user account, trash your whole
system and start over from scratch. What are you running, Windows?
*arg* If a child pukes in your car, do you buy a whole new interior
or do you just clean up the mess? *frustration of misdirected
efforts*
IF Photoshop works from the other user account, then PHOTOSHOP AND
THE OS ARE FINE!!!! The problem is in your user account.
Repair permissions - fixes the file permissions in the system and
applications trees; does nothing in the user tree. Disk Warrior etc
- fix the disk's file structures; does nothing for pukey / corrupted
data within a file. An Archive & re-Install of the OS will NOT
change anything in your user account either!
Locate the corrupted file(s) and remove it. Chances are it's
something in either your user ~/Library or ~/Documents tree. Check
especially for things in ~/Library/Application Support. If need be,
create a virgin user and steal its virgin ~/Library tree.
bleh.
