It’s worked twice for me now, hopefully blogging about it here will help someone else out too. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) immediately after launching Photoshop. Luckily, when this happened to me a few years back, I found a forum post with the answer to the problem – hold down the Ctrl, Alt and Shift keys whilst launching Photoshop (this will allow the settings file to be deleted and recreated). When Photoshop crashes, this is the first thing to do, try resetting your Photoshop preferences. Since then, everything has been fine, but tonight the problem re-emerged so I dug out my old notes (which predate this blog) to try and find the answer.īasically, when starting Photoshop, the splash screen displays as components are loaded and then nothing else appears (not even an error message).
Please be warned that the information here may be out of date.īack at the end of 2003 I experienced a problem with Adobe Photoshop 7 crashing on a Windows XP machine. I don't routinely update old blog posts as they are only intended to represent a view at a particular point in time.
