Photoshop CS4 crashing -- need help

Question

I have recently installed PSCS4 and have just started using it. I am having trouble with the program crashing under Windows XP (SP3) on a 3.2 GHz, P4 single core machine e/w 2G RAM. I get the following error message:
"The instruction at "0x262740db" referenced memory at 0xffce8b95". The memory could not be "read".
Click on "OK" to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
CS3, Lightroom and everything else runs fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Graphic cards die in a blaze a glory, and do not pop a GPF msgbox.
This is either a programming error (a memory address way up at the end of the address space is not for mere appls) that surfaced, or memory failed (i.e., the address reached should have been some other address, but when the memory was read for the address, the wrong address/data was provided). It could also just be cosmic rays, man, like, that'll do it every time if you don't have foil around your machine, man. I know these things, I am, after all
