Oh man, it's driving me crazy! Wanna hear something stupid? Here I have been, sitting and waiting for windows updates to offer me service pack one so I can get on with my computing life. Turns out, hubby overlooked the fact that this version of Vista CAME with service pack one already in it! So... my Photoshop installation/run errors have NOTHING to do with not having it on the computer!
I was up until 4:00am messing with this stupid thing because I tried photoshop again and... It WORKED! ;D I was SO thrilled... until... I saw that I directed it to a foder called 'programs' but I forgot to type 'Photoshop' or whatever to make a folder so all the photoshop files were just loose in the programs folder. Easy fix, I thought. I just uninstalled Photoshop and then reinstalled it so that all the files would be in a nice, neat folder. Then...
The stupid thing went back to NOT running! I already told you I was up all night with the dumb thing. Let's just say it included a LOT of uninstalling, reinstalling, system restores, etc. No matter what I did, Photoshop refused to cooperate! Finally I gave up and went to bed.
This morning after grabbing a cup of coffee, I decided to try reinstalling again exactly the way I did the first time: with all the crap just loose in the programs folder and guess what? The silly thing WORKS! *sigh* So that means I just have to live with the idea that the files are scattered there if I want to be able to play with Photoshop and I do so... Let it be!
