    I would reinstall the software first so that it can re config all the components it needs to run.

    From USAToday:

    "Finally, after much searching, I found the only solution that worked: I got Vista to reveal its hidden Administrator account, which I logged into. Now Photoshop works. So I moved all my stuff and now I log in as Administrator. I'm not supposed to – it's a security risk – but it's that or do without Photoshop."

    I've heard of this issue from Paul Boag, not being a Vista owner I can only recommend his remedy, to instal PS through XP.
