I am hoping someone can help me out with this problem!
I have Adobe CS4 with Photoshop v11.0.1 loaded on a Dell Optiplex 755 running WinXP Pro SP3 with 2.66 GHz, 3.25 GB of RAM, 150 GB hard drive. It has been running without issue for a few months now.
Yesterday, when trying to open PS, I had a string of error messages pop up in succession immediately after the "Welcome" screen appeared. As I clicked "OK" (the only option I had) on one, another would appear. This happened NINE times! And, it continues to happen each time I open Photoshop now.
The error reads:
Owl Orphanage: Photoshop.exe Bad Image
The application or DLL C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plugins [add below here] is not a valid Windows Image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
Where the [add below here] is located in the above message, each of the following items comes up (in the order they are listed below) minus the ellipsis at the beginning.
\Alias.8BI
\Bigger Tiles.8BX
\ElectricImage.8BI
\HSBHSL.8BF
\JPEG2000.8BI
\RLA.8BI
\SGIRGB8BI
\SoftImage.8BI
\Texture Fill.8BF
I am baffled, confused, and frustrated! I haven't used Photoshop extensively since this began so I don't know if it is causing other problems within the program or not.
Anyone with ideas? Any suggestions?
All input GREATLY appreciated!

Yes, I saw another thread on this but none of them dealt with having NINE errors! And, I tried what was suggested there with no results.

Oh.
You forgot to mention you saw the other thread.

Those are all Legacy Optional plug-ins. Delete them from the plug-ins directory and see if the errors go away.
Do you recall where you got those plug-ins from originally? If you do use them, try another download from:

Phos...my apologies. I was so focused on making sure that I included all of my OS info and the details of the errors I forgot to mention that I had already searched the other threads. I sincerely hope the tone of my response was not offensive. It wasn't meant that way. Just my frustration coming out.
Steve...THANK YOU! I did delete these from the plug-ins folder and this corrected the problem. What I don't understand is where they came from?!? I haven't loaded anything onto the computer and the only difference from the last successful launch to the first unsuccessful one was that I began working with Dreamweaver a bit as I prepare to transition from GoLive to DW. The DW program was already on the computer though as the entire Design Premium suite was loaded at the same time.
My sincerest thanks to you both for your assistance.

The Portland Audubon Society might have a place for those! :D

No worries, Susan.
Glad Steve was able to get you fixed up.
