Hi group,

Just installed the Adobe Creative Suite premium.
all seems to be fine except when I try to load Photoshop I get

" PHOTOSHOP.EXE -UNABLE TO LOCATE COMPONENT
This application has failed to start because PDFL50.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

I have re-installed the whole suite and am still getting the same, Can anyone please advise how to solve this.

Thanking in advance all those who take the time to reply

I have PS CS installed on my computer with WinXP but none of the other apps that are also included in the total Creative Suite. However, I searched my HD for that dll and did not find it, so I believe that it is not part of PS proper. I have gotten similar messages when I have had problems with accessory plugins and filters that I have installed myself. If you have any plugins that might be corrupted or have been moved, that might be your problem.
