Application Launch Failure

[Abel_Teo@adobeforums.com]

I have the following message when I tried to start my Photoshop CS.

Application Launch Failure!
The application "(null)" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "*<application><application><ACECarbonLib><>"

Even though I have tried reinstalling, it does nto work. What can be done?

Abel,

What's the exact version of your operating system? What other trouble shooting steps have you taken? Did Photoshop work before?

Actually I had no problem with Photoshop CS before. Only after my computer forced me to restart did the problem appear. This happened when I was working on a Photoshop file.

I have tried to use my OS 10.3.3 Disk Utility to repair the hard disk and I was able to solve most problems. Other problems I had was the disappearance of my printer drivers as well as my Norton Antivirus having problem on auto startup but I have no problem launching it manually. I have since freed up 2 GB of space as I suspect the reason was due to a lack of hard disk space when I was working on Photoshop CS.

Norton Anti Virus (NAV) is a notorious trouble maker. I wouldn't install any of the Norton stuff on any of my drives, though it's OK to use Norton Disk Doctor from the CD.

As far as disk space, when your disk is 85% full, regardless of its size, you're in deep trouble already.

Still, any solution to the situation?

Thanks.

did you dump NAV??

did you trash your prefs??

what exactly have you done??

That sounds more like a DLL has gotten corrupted on disk.
Check the disk for damage, and if the other suggestions don't work - remove and reinstall Photoshop.
