My Photoshop CS (Windows XP) which I just now installed, locks up when launched. Main screen comes up with dialogue box items flashing and locking at plugins. I uninstalled my Creative Suite Premium and reinstalled it again. Same thing happens.

I had it working at one point and then received a message during the launch about the primary scratch and Windows primary paging file on the same volume. I then went about assigning the scratch disk to my second hard drive "D". After that I could no long launch Photoshop. I may have made a mistake in the assignment.

Anyone have a solution to fix this?
