OK Dan, here's what I did, and it worked! Photoshop is fixed again:
1. I created a new user, which I named User 2.
2. I logged in as User 2 and opened Photoshop, thereby creating a
fresh set of Photoshop preferences for User 2, carefully noting the
time.
3. I opened User 2's Preferences Folder (Library > Preferences) and
noted which prefs had changed at that time. I made a note of them,
there were four:
Adobe Photoshop CS2 Paths
Adobe photoshop CS2 Settings
com.adobe.mediabrowser. plist
com.applerecentitems.plist
4. I opened my main account's user prefs folder and dragged those
four freshly updated prefs from User 2 over into it (thereby
replacing the ones in the main user's account).
5. I logged out as User 2 and logged back in as my main user, and
Photoshop was fixed!
Oops, Photoshop just broke again. And I fixed it again, by the
method listed above.
Interesting.
(I doubt com.applerecentitems.plist is part of the problem tho)
Instead of replacing those items, just drag them to the trash and
empty the trash. Then relaunch Photoshop... IOW, see if PS creating
them from scratch does any better.
So it's fixable, but how come it keeps breaking?
Good question.
One possibility is that there's a file with the wrong permissions on
it, and Photoshop is cramping instead of displaying an error.
Try above; see if that does better.
Now that I have PS on my machine, I'm going to try a few things to
see if I can reproduce the problem.
