--- Comment #9 from Graham Toal gtoal@gtoal.com --- Status - have not yet reinstalled wine - the call below is to the same installation that was crashing. All I've done here is move .wine to .wine.ORIG and create a new .wine tree:
$ wine wineboot $ winecfg $ ls -lR .wine|more $ cd .wine/drive_c/'Program Files' $ mv ~/.wine.ORIG/drive_c/Program\ Files/Adobe . $ cd Adobe/'Photoshop 5.5' $ wine Photoshp.exe
Photoshop now runs without crashing. The rebuilt .wine prefix seems to have fixed the problem so either the problem is in some binary in that tree or in the pseudo-registry file. I did tar a copy of the old .wine before doing anything today so old and new are available for comparison if the cause of this issue is worth tracking down, but since I now have a working solution I'm OK with closing the ticket unless you want to drill down on it further.
Thank you for the help.
