I installed CS3 Web Premium in Windows XP, running under Parallels. It worked fine for a couple of days and now Photoshop and Illustrator will not load. Each gives the "encountered a problem and needs to close" message. Acrobat 9, Dreamweaver, do load though.

I tried deleting prefs and also re-installing CS3 but it still does it. Anyone have a similar problem or know of a solution?

I think you should move this over to the Mac side. I am sure they have experience with this.

Thanks Bart. I added it there as well. It could be Parallels on the Mac that is the issue or CS3/XP on the PC.

If running in Parallels, there is little/no reason to ask in the Mac forum (but of course it does not hurt to ask there too). Parallels is running Windows as a virtualized environment and has no connection to Mac OS.
