all of a sudden when i run photoshop, after loading some stuff and plug-ins on the startup screen, the prgram quits. i think it happens when it hits the brush presets or something. what can be the problem?it was working perfectly before.

i’m using photoshop 7 on XP

Trash your prefs. See the FAQs for details.

Hi Buko:

Just wanted to mention that your advice fixed this same problem for me, which occured over the past few days. I’ve been having scanner problems and have been installing various scanner softwares, and I noticed that on startup today that it was crashing just when the TWAIN preferences were being loaded. Windows XP x64 PhotoshopCS3

Thanks.

Just a little fyi to go with this.
The fact that Photoshop ran fine and suddenly now is stalling when getting to the Twain plugin on startup means that your scanner driver has most likely become corrupt. If you trash your current driver and reinstall it you won’t have this issue. Buggy drivers like this are precisely the reason that Photoshop now ships with the Twain plugin optional.

Much better idea:

Trash the TWAIN plug-in and scan using your scanner software as a stand-alone application.
