Percent 56.95% Photoshop not opening - please help! Hi guys, I'm having problems whenever I try and open my copy of Photoshop CS5. It fails and gives the message "Could not initialise Photoshop because of a program error". All the other Adobe programs I have work fine (and were all part of the same CS5 suite). Also I created another user account and it opens up fine on there. I thought it may have been that I was running an outdated OS, but I've upgraded to Snow Leopard 10
