You’re not the oldest version here, that’s a 3!!!. How much room have you got on your harddrive?

51 gigs free on an 80 gig hard drive… I tried to re-load the entire program & that didn’t solve anything…

Is this something that has started recently? Have you installed anything new prior to the problem starting? What other applications are running at the same time? Check out the processes tab in Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) Whilst there, check out the Performance tab and see what the PF usage is whilst opening PS, does it max out?
Right click on My Computer>Properties>Advanced>Virtual Memory>Change, how much is allocated, is it custom or system managed? If system managed try inputting values 1.5 & 3 times your installed RAM and see if problem goes away (or if PC will run ;))
No problems with spyware?
You could also have a corrupt "prefs" file, this would not be corrected with a reinstallation, you would still be using it with new installtion. To delete this file, hold down the Ctrl, Alt and shift keys whilst starting PS, if you get the timing right, you will see a dialogue box asking you if you want to delete the file, you do, a new one will be created.
