I installed it fine and I do not have that problem, max sure you back up your Plug ins folder before a reinstall if you have any 3rd party Plug ins

well, maybe not a LIFE saver... but a definite time-saver. thank you so much for posting the scripting additions missing file. I've had the error since having to do an archive/install about 2 weeks ago... and I haven't had time to redo this machine RIGHT ((backup, reformat, reinstall)) so knowing the file to recover is a huge help.

thank you!

I'm starting to really regret installing tiger. I've got a g3(900mhz) ibook with 640 ram. Aside from the slow downs that are occurring, my biggest problem is photoshop. I've been following this thread for a bit now, and my problem is similar but not quite the same. Photohop will launch, but it opens no image file, period. I keep getting "could not complete request due to program error." I started with 7, but bit the bullet and got CS. Same problem. Resinstalled both apps, no joy. Trashed the pref files, CS worked once, but not again. I'm a photographer by trade, and I need these apps. Tried to reinstall Panther and the installer disk will not overwrite the "newer operating system". I really, really, don't won't to format my drive here. Can anyone tell how to either fix photoshop, or clean install back to panther?

The solution to this problem is quite simple. Shut Down your mac. Start up your mac holding down the apple + option (alt) + p + r key until you here the bong sound, release the keys and the mac will boot up as normal but this time photoshop will work as it should!!!!. This is known as zapping the pr ram, you can find out more about this elsewhere if you really want to know.
please post a reply if this works... it avoids having to reinstall anything!!

Zapping pram doesn't solve the Photoshop problem. It's a known bug. Only way to fix it is reinstall PS or add the missing pref file.

Also, 768mb of ram for PS? Not doing much are you?

Upgraded to Tiger 3 days ago, just in the middle of this problem right now, CS or 7,0 start ok but refuse to open any file. What missing prefs file are you taking about? Checked "scriptingAdditions folder too, nothing missing... I am stuck.

Anything new?

I had 10.3.9 installed before I installed Tiger. I own a PB 15inch 1.67ghz 1gb Ram.

Problem:

Double clicking a file launches Photoshop but not the file. I can open files via the open command in Photoshop, with no problem. But I can't double click any file and have it open in PS.

Should I reinstall AdobeCS or reinstall Tiger or is her a fix

PLEASE HELP

Here is a link for the fix from Adobe. Solution 1 worked for me. I had already tossed my Previous System folder, so I had to get the Adobe Unit Types from another guy at work, but once I dropped it in and restarted everything worked just fine.

Good Luck!
