EXC_BAD_ACCESS error when opening PS2 on Mac OSX 10.4-who's problem is it?

About three weeks ago I got an error message when trying to open PS2 which said

"Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xcde25b88"

So I called Apple Care-they replaced my hard drive. I get my Mac back last night and go to open PS and I now get this error message:

"Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x00000000"

So do I call Apple again or is this an Adobe issue? Should I reinstall PS2? All the other parts of Creative Suite run just fine. I'm irritated and confused and sadly not really savvy enough to know what's going on. :-(

thanks in advance!

When Apple replaced your HD, did they or you, re-install the software that was on your old Drive?

If you made a clone of your old HD and copied it back, you probably brought back all of your old troubles with it!

I suggest that you remove CS2 entirely; then run Disk Warrior to repair all of your Dirctories and then do a fresh installation of CS2 from the original DVD.

Just be sure that you have saved any Actions and other personal Presets somewhere safely before trashing CS2.

PS2? Photoshop 2? Photoshop CS2? Elements2 or something else?

I'm sorry, PS from CS2. I just smooshed it together there.

Thank you Ann! I will try Disk Warrior! Apple reinstalled everything back from the old HD. I did remove CS2 and reinstalled just PS but got the same error message just now so yep-sounds like I brought my old problems along to the new drive. :-(

Check your console logs to see if anything stands out.

see if PSCS2 works in a new user.
