CS3, disappearing page setup in print dialog page

When attempting to press "page setup" in the print dialog window in cs3, the printer preferences dialog box disappears along with the print dialog window, and every time i bring the preference window back, as soon as i press any button in the window or click on any part of the window it disappears again. Why is this, and how can i stop this. My printer is an Epson 2200, my computer is a 64bit Vista.

Did it work before? It could be a printer driver problem with the OS.

It could also be a PS preferences problem.

To fix, reset your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.

This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.

A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.
