Issues with CS5 Crashing

[Suzs]

I haven't scrapped in forever and I sat down today to get back at it and my CS5 just crashes!!! Anyone else have this issue? I just did all of the resent apple updates (including the new java) and now it no longer works. Any suggestions?

you could try going in and deleting your photoshop preferences file. It basically will just turn all your settings back to default. There is a key command for when you open -

To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut: Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

I may or may not have had to just do this myself for a similar reason :/

Thanks! I will try that right now!

It didn't work! Any other suggestions?

Got it working! Had to go into security and privacy setting and make a change in there... At least I can scrap now!!!

Have you looked in the Adobe forums? You might be able to find some useful threads there. Sometimes if you install new fonts, styles, etc that happens, but it doesn't sound like that's the issue if you were on a scrapping break. I hope you find a solution, super frustrating!
