All Adobe Creative Suite suddenly stop working

Question

One day, I had Illustrator CS, Acrobat CS and Photoshop CS open and then suddenly, when I dragged a file onto PS, it said 'cannot open - program error' or something like that. So I tried a different file and it said the same thing.
I quit Photoshop and tried reloading it, and it started bobbing up and down and then stopped. Ie it quit after 1s of loading. I restarted the computer, thinking that might solve it. Now every Adobe application quits after 1s.
I’ve deleted the whole suite and erased trash, etc and then I've reinstalled it, from fresh but it still does the same thing.
I’ve tried trashing the preferences. I’ve used Font Finagler to delete corrupted font caches and any other ‘AdobeFnt.lst’ files, etc. No luck.
I can't think of absolutely anything left to try.
All the programs quit almost immediately. When I try to load them after trashing all the preferences, they do not have time to put in the new default preference files. Also, before it all went wrong, Photoshop complained that it couldn't open a file because of a program error.

I think you can get more help at http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/main.html than you get here, but let me have a stab at it here anyhow:
Have you created a new user, and tried running Adobe with that user? If that works, there is something wrong with your current user.
Check ~/Library/Caches/Adobe . My guess (I have not tried this myself) is that you can trash anything there, and then retry.
Check ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe . If you trash those things you may have to reinstall CS, but if you're lucky it is recreated automatically, when you try to restart CS.
Check /Library/Application Support/Adobe . It is very unlikely that anything there should be corrupted, as CS worked before, but it is not impossible. If you try to uninstall CS manually for a reinstall, you should probably delete these files as well.
Good luck!
