Hi all, Recently I have been experiencing a strange problem with Photoshop 6 on my iMac 400mhz. When I try to open a Photoshop document by double clicking on it, Photoshop starts up, and displays the message �Reading PICT file format,� then converts the file to PICT. It does not do this conversion if I open the document from inside Photoshop using the open command, only when I double click it.
I tried using a different, archived Photoshop 6 application, I tried trashing the preferences, I tried different documents, and I got the same problem every time. I also tried using Photoshop 5.5 and got the same problem. :-( Strangely enough though, when I started up off of my external hard drive, Photoshop worked correctly. Oddly enough, the system folders (System 9.1) on both hard drives were virtually the same. I don�t know exactly when the problem started, I have been trying to think back to what I did to the computer that might have caused the problem. I removed some extensions and control panels I wasn�t using�and promptly put them back when I noticed the problem. I also ran Norton Disk Doctor and Speed Disk. I also went ahead and updated the internal hard drive to System 9.2.2 after the problem started, but the problem remained the same. I mentioned Norton because of the recent debate concerning its usefulness. Is it possible Norton corrupted something? Although this Photoshop problem is not particularly serious, it is annoying. If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this problem, I would appreciate it. :-) Edward __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
