If you’ve upgraded to OSX 10.2 or 10.3 and Photoshop Elements 2.0 crashes when you try to launch it, try this (before you delete all your preferences):
Open System Preferences/Appearance, and change your "Turn of text smoothing for font sizes" setting to something different, and then reset it back to what you want.
TECHNICAL DETAILS:
It looks like old versions of OSX (10.0? 10.1?) used type String for AppleAntiAliasingThreshold (in ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist) but it’s now type Integer. If you set it back in 10.0 days, it probably still says String and that seems to crash Photoshop Elements.
