Having the same problem with Premiere only. It works if I create a new user in Windows, but that’s just a crappy workaround. It’s really frustrating that re-installing Premiere and the entire CS3 master collection doesn’t fix this issue.

Windows XP SP3
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400
Asus P5E3 Deluxe Mobo
4GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce 8600GTX

The last project I had opened before this started happening (after a reboot) happens to now be corrupt. I thought that the corrupt project showing up in the recent projects list might be the cause of Premiere crashing immediately after the splash screen, but I tried moving and deleting the project file, opening another project directly, clearing preferences (holding SHIFT and CTRL while starting Premiere), but nothing gets it to work on my main Windows user account. Creating and using a new Windows user account allows Premiere to work under that account, but as I said before this is a pretty useless workaround. It makes little sense that it would work under a new user, but completely clearing the preferences AND uninstalling and re-installing the program still doesn’t get it to work under the original user.
