When I open PSCS, it causes an error in the Windows registry.
What happens is that some ActiveX/COM entry in the registry is assigned an incorrect value.
For example:
"ProgID, "Photoshop.MediaSX," refers to an invalid ActiveX/COM entry,
"{A4F8ECCF-2A80-4171-76B8-59467228AA29}."
I want to stress that the selection of the particular registry entry seems completely random, and does _not_ necessarily reference any Photoshop module. In fact, the above example is the _first_ time anything to do with PS has shown up.
I’ve run virus and Trojan scans in Norton, Spysweeper, Pestpatrol, and Ad-Aware Prof. Nothing shows up.
The problem is specific to PS. Opening other programs does not cause the problem. The problem has occurred since the first time I opened PS.
I’d like to upgade to CS2, but "never do an upgrade when you’re having problems" – unless the upgrade is known to fix the problem.
Any ideas before I do a complete uninstall/reinstall of PS?
Thanks.
