Can´t start Photoshop CS3 Windows

247 views2 repliesLast post: 12/29/2008
When I start PS CS3, by initializing the pallets ("Paletten werden initialisiert" (German message) the window closed and does nothing more.

After uninstalling and new installation the same happened.

What can I do?

Is there an uninstalling tool from adobe, which removes all registry keys?

I hope you can help me.

Try resetting 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.

This has no effect.
The same error (closing the the window after starting PS3).

P.S.
After deinstallation I deleted all files in all generated directories, such as installation directory, "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Harald\Anwendungsdaten\Adobe...".

I removed also all entries in the registry under
HKLM\Software\Adobe
