    could not initialize

    Posted by Pentti Kakkori on October 3, 2007 at 9:32 am

    Suddenly users without administrator rights could not start Photoshop 9.0.2 (Windows XP Sp2).
    “Could not initialize photoshop because file is locked..”
    What could be the file?
    Users with Admin rights can start and use Photoshop normally.

    The cause of the problem is likely due to the location for Photoshop scratch file

    You coudl log on as admin and chaneg this or just reset your photoshop prefs by booting phothsop and immediatley afterwards holding down Ctrl Shift Alt and choosing yes to reset prefs.
