Photoshop CS4 crashes upon startup
whenever I launch Adobe Photoshop CS4 It crashes on the screen that says "Reading Preferences"
If anyone knows a fix to this it would be greatly appreciated if you could share it with me =) -Thanks |
we need a lot more info, like your version of OS X and your hardware. just a quick solution which worked for me in this situation, i fresh installed Leo4All v3 10.5.2 and it worked fine, that was posted on this forum already, you should search before you posted...

the problem i think is to do with 10.5.5, when i was using Leo4All 10.5.5 it wouldnt work for me, and crashed also at the same time as you indicate, i manually patched my OS to 10.5.5 and it sounds like you have as well, so there must be something wrong with the AMD Patched Updates that causes Photoshop CS4 to crash, when i went back to 10.5.2 it all worked fine.

Sounds like that would be the problem but I wonder if theres a fix? the reason I had to update to 10.5.5 was to install something to get my graphics card to work.
|
does it work with 10.5.4? I would say have a test partition you can run it on at 10.5.whatever and then your regular 10.5.5. little unnecessary right now but I think the issue will be fixed when we can natively update via Apple with Voodoo.
|
when I had 10.5.4 a while back, It did work as a matter of fact. and I have no idea what Voodoo is haha. I keep hearing about it but I still haven't found out what it is =)
Thanks for the help =) |
its a kernal in beta testing right now, you can find out about it and download it from the news and releases section here, im using it now, its fairly good :)
|
Did anyone ever figure out how to fix this or what is wrong? It seems like allot of my questions that I post seem to get discussed and my problem doesn't get fixed. I know that I should be happy i'm even getting help but If there isn't a fix for it can you just let me know?
-Thank you |
