Photoshop CS4 crashing on load in OSX...

Hi,



Has anyone experienced Photoshop CS4 crashing at startup just as it's about to load the tools?



My computer specs are the following:

- Apple PPC G5 Quads 2.5GHz

- 4 GB of RAM

- 23GBs of free space on the main partition and 182GBs of the secondary partition.

- GeForce 6600 Video card with 256MB

- OS X 10.5.6



Creative Suite Design Premium 3 is loaded too and it's working fine.



So far I've tried the following without success:

- logged in as admin

- created a new test user account

- deleted and rebuilt the preferences

- verified the privileges

- ran disk first aid to verify the disk and the privs

- verified printer driver

- no third party plug-ins present

- turned off all fonts except required system fonts

- verified the video card driver was up to date

- tried the GPU optional plugins

- replaced the Adobe Photoshop CS4/Presets/Tools folder

- replaced first individual pieces then the entire Application Support folder for Adobe

- replaced the executable.



Here's the catch. I've deployed the software to 100 stations (same specs) using Apple's disk utility and netboot/netrestore. This has worked for years and all other applications are running normally. The source computer (the computer I built the image on) is running well. Photoshop CS4 launches perfectly. The break seems to occur through the imaging process, but I can't figure out where.



Any suggestions are welcome. I'm running out of ideas and am trying to avoid running around to 100 stations with CDs.



Thanks,
