PHOTOSHOP CS4 AND ILLUSTRATOR CS4 CRASH WORKAROUND

Question

hey guys i find something interesting!!!! (and this is an obvious sign that adobe didn't test the software but only open and close it while counting money eheh)
first of all the clean CS4 install won't work so don't do it! 11.0.0 and 11.0.1 it's the same.
*delete preferences:*
go to this path \user\library\preferences\ and delete com.adobe.Photoshop.plist com.adobe.Illustrator.plist etc...
*save as workaround: (notice this isn't a solution, but if you have to work like me these days it can be helpful)*
open the application, open a new file, sketch something then save as... you'll see the "shrinked" save as window...name the file, save it in the default documents directory (you'll choose the directory later with the finder) *the save as window must remain shrinked in order to work and not crash!* so *don't extend it with the right blue arrow pointing down.* let me know if it works for you. cheers
update:
this works also for save for web & devices in photoshop

Answer 1

Another test of interest....
I removed my iDisk from the side bar and opened the save dialogue back to expanded and saved.
(still using save for web, again the most sure to crash every time)
just saved several times no crash... on top of original files...
quit PS, reopen and load same original file. this time I changed a layer and saved original and then save for Web. BOOM. crash (in expanded mode)
Re open and just save for web and it worked several more times...
baffling.
