Photoshop Auto-Reset??

[54warrior]

I have been having a strange issue with Photoshop CS3 as of late. For some reason, every time that I close Ps and re-open, it defauts back to the original everything, Workspace, Zoom W/ Scroll Wheel is unchecked, default brushes, etc.


Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Not always a solution, but a high percentage return for many situation. . .

“Could” be a corrupt Preferences file. While starting PS, hold down the [Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Shift] ([Cmd]+[Opt]+[Shift] on the MAC platform) keys and you should be presented with a dialog to delete the Settings File. Select yes, modify some setting in your new environment, close and then re-launch PS. Did the modifications stick? If not, the need to go a bit deeper (perhaps registry items, etc.) will probably be the course.

In case that doesn't do it, please respond with platform and OS in use to allow for better suggestions.

It is on an HP with Windows XP SP2

Thanks, I will try your fix when I get home later today.
