Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been deleted
Hello
After a week without the help of photoshop, I can no longer open it. Whenever I try this message appears: "Failed to initialize Photoshop because the preferences file has been deleted."
So, I went looking for this preference file that I never deleted and I'm not.
I tried to reset photoshop with keyboard shortcuts preferences, it does not work. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the software, it does not work either.
What could I do?
Thank you for your help.
Only, I had to rename my Adobe photoshop CS6 settings file. It works perfectly now!

Maybe if you check Photoshop on the cover page of the victory 8 and choose Run as administrator from the options bar at the bottom of the page and then do the Ctrl Alt Shift.

Yesterday it was working fine, this morning, I tried to open cs6, and I get the above message. Tried to put the file in my laptop (copied to a USB key) and when I close all the windows files is not displayed again, and ps6 shows me this message above. I use a 27 "iMac computer. I've installed a plugin (WhiteWindowworkaround.plugin1_0_6.zip) to correct my problem of cursor. PLEASE HELP ME...
The first thing I would try would be to manually reset preferences. If this fails, try to uninstall the plugin and see if the problem goes away.
In case you don't know how to reset:
Reset preferences
(1) close the program, and then press Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Win) / command + Option + shift (Mac) (not reversible) starting
or
(2) move the folder. See:

Hi svenp73738974,

Someone at - it advice on how to open Photoshop CS5 for Mac. Is no longer able to open the program. Just get the emblem of blue PS and the message "unable to load actions because an end of life unexpected has been met. Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). "I tried to reinstall the program from the original disc. Is this a problem with the operating system? Thanks for any idea.
Now try control-alt-shift key (Ctrl-alt-shift on Windows) and start Photoshop. An option button will open and opt for delete the settings file - see if that helps any.

"Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."?
I've been happily turn Photoshop CS (1) on my Powermac MDD for years.
But today, she is facing upward. Here's the problem: I get the error message "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."
I have studied this problem and see that it's been covered in the thread:
http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/370672?start=0 & tstart = 0So I trashed preferences and the SFW prefs also.
Now Photoshop starts... BUT as soon as I go into the preferences and assign a scratch disk, he failed once more to throw with the same error: "could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available."I tried to slide on the copies of the utility Photoshop of my backup disk files... but the same strange behavior persists.
My Scratch disk is on a second internal hard drive.
This all started when I had to restart from OS 9 order to use my SCSI scanner, which only has an OS9 driver.
I used it for years with no problem... until today.Was it because once I saved the file in Photoshop 4 and OS9 on an OSX file that somehow the preferences got screwed up?
Popular clues...

work drive must be HFS +.
also check the permissions of the property in the Infolog to get for the reader scratching. You may need to ignore permissions for this volume.

CTRL + Alt + shift will not help.
First, you must click the icon to run Photoshop and then immediately, press 'Ctrl + Alt + Shift', you need to position your fingers on the keys when you do.

I think the fix for that we should reset the preferences in Preferences > general. I really hope it works, because I hate to put things the way I like them after a reset of preferences.
Good luck
