Hi  Thanks I will try it,  I havent reloaded elements yet, I really need photoshop  as I am a designer and use it alot for photos & need it right now, I have the CS5 Suite but it will not let me run it on this mac, it ask for intel processor  and I have been unemployed for over 2years and cant affiord a new MAc right now , that is why I am so frustarated  with the whole issue, it all started when I went to  up grade to 10.5.8.

Thank you PatriciaBruhn unfortunately the error is a bit generic.  The best I can offer would be for you to try the steps listed in Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-f reezes-mac.html.  These are generic troubleshooting steps and are great when the exact cause of the problem is unknown. I am not sure if the time and effort of going through the steps will be useful though as you may still run into difficulties.  I might also suggest trying Photoshop Elements 10 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html or Photoshop CS5 - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html and seeing if either one of those fit your needs.  Depending on what you use Photoshop 7 for you may find that Photoshop Elements can do the job plus have additional capabilities not even thought of during the time of Photoshop 7's development.  Both Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop CS5 have a minimum system requirement of 10.5.8 so as long as your system meets the remaining requirements then they should work fine on your computer.
