Photoshop crashes on "Initializing menus"... CS4 on Windows7 64Bit

Question

I deleted the user account the authorized Photoshop was on,
re-installed every CS4 program twice,
downloaded all drivers I could think of,
and Photoshop still crashes at "Initializing menus" every single time. It's the only program in the entire suite acting like this.
Any idea what to do?

Answer 1

Do you have anu third-party plug-in like Portrait Professional etc. which you are using with PSE. If yes then try disabling (remove plugin file for a while) one and try to launch PSE. It is usually the case that third party plugin tries to create its own menu entry and it might cause PSE to crash.
Try these as well if above doesn`t work:
Solution 1: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 2: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 3: On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else. Now launch PSE and check if it works.
