Trouble making Droplets in CS4

Question

Does anyone else get this message when dropping files on top of a droplet?
"Droplet couldn't communicate with Photoshop"
Can anyone give me a remedy?
Any help is surely appreciated!
Thanx,

Thanx Zeno. I tried both methods and neither worked. I found something on
google and I was wondering
if I could get your opinion on it before I try it, since I am not the
greatest in changing around computer settings.
Here it is, please reply, Thanx, tooleey (Patrick)
(I keep thinking that if I create a new user account, I screw things up, and
make everything a hassel from that point on)
(From a Forum it reads:)
I contacted Adobe UK Techical Support, and thanks to a very helpful guy
there, the problem has been fixed! The steps taken to resolve the problem
were as follows:
1. Renaming the CS4 preferences folder to '.old' - This is located at
C:\Users\\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4
Settings. Apparently uninstalling and reinstalling PS does not affect this
folder, so by renaming it, it forces PS to create a new one.
2. Turn off Vista User Account Control
3. Create a new user account (administrator level) & Restart
4. In the new user account, Open PS and create a new droplet to the desktop
5. Tested the new droplet by dropping an image onto it – It now works.
6. Logged off (specifically told not to use switch user), and logged back on
with normal account.
7. Created a new droplet in PS onto the desktop – It now works when you drop
an image onto it.
8. Turned Vista User Account Control back on, and retested OK.
According to Adobe these steps resolve quite a number of different issues
with Vista and PS. He put it down to a ‘permissions’ issue with Vista.
