I'm a pretty loyal follower and do all the upgrades, but minutes after I did the new OS upgrade I lost CS3. It refused to start. I did a complete restart ...then used Cocktail (the latest one..) to repair permissions, etc. and - still - CS3 crashes on start. KeeRyst! ..it's perhaps the single most important app I have?! Anybody else?

Reinstall CS3?

To re-create the Photoshop preferences file:
1. Quit Photoshop.
2. Rename the Users\[username]\Library\Preferences\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp folder to Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.old.
3. Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file.

If the problem continues, then the Photoshop preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file.

Ha! That was it... a new Prefs file brought me back to life. It's funny, I only use the easy 10% of Photoshop, but it is essential if you make web stuff. Cheers.
