Re-installing Photoshop on same computer.

[mongo]

Thank goodness Mongo got it going after all - he was fast running out of fur to pull out !

thanks guys. The secret is to make sure ALL the components are uninstalled including the shared ones. Do this by inserting original disc and choosing remove or uninstall all components etc then run the install again from the same disc.

Bloody time consuming and then having to get all the updates for the last year or so which were lost etc.
