Photoshop won't start!

[DJFuji]

anyone else have this problem? You run photoshop and it initializes everything but RIGHT before it loads the GUI, it closes out like nothing happened and you never ran the program. Tried reinstalling several times, and the only clue is if you try to run the program without restarting the PC first. You occasionally get an error message the says something about not being able to load the GUI fonts so your GUI may look weird. It recommends you restart but as soon as you do, you get the first problem described. Any ideas?

Try removing the program and installing it from CD again.

Fixed! Apparently you can hold alt-ctrl-shift down while PS loads and it will reset the config file. That cleared everything up. The config file must be somewhere where it isn't uninstalled, because otherwise an uninstallation/reinstallation should have fixed it...
