Thank you Hunt,
After spending two whole days, on this....
I ultimately did a complete uninstall of Creative Suite and reinstalled
it. It "kind of" solved it. By that I mean that now when I open
Photoshop it gets hung up on some missing files, however its no longer
the same _ISource22.dll one, (more later on that). I'll hit "OK" and it
continues to load. The total time it takes to load Photoshop is about
5-6 minutes, sometimes more, but at least I'm able to work.

I did a lot more digging around about that elusive _ISource22.dll
file....I hadn't loaded Altasoft...didn't know anything about it,
however, I did learn that particular file is also part of Photo Pos
Pro, a shareware program I had on my computer for a very short time...I
downloaded it again, just to get that file in case I had trouble again)

So here I've got this brand new computer with all the bells and
whistles and its slow as molasses.
I do thank you very much for your help in getting me up and running
again....at least for the time being; I have no idea how long this will
last, but at least I think I can finish my work this weekend....thanks
again.

I've not heard of Photo Pos Pro. Any idea of how it interfaces with CS2? Is it
a plug-in, or a totally standalone program?

As for the load time for CS2, what are the points, where things seem to hang -
that tiny line of items being loaded/initialized? Also, have you checked your
fonts? A bad font, can really hang PS. You should see a long pause when
loading the fonts in PS.

Next question: OK, it loads, albeit very slowly. How does it perform, once
loaded? If that too is slow, you might want to check out Adobe's site, as
there are several links on PS running slowly. There are step-by-step guides to
settings that can speed the program up, mostly Allocated RAM, Cache, Undo
States, Scratch Disks, etc. These usually help get the program up to max.
performance.

Most of all - glad you can finish your project. Problems usually surface, when
you have a deadline. Keep us posted on what you find out, once the work is
done, and you have time to poke around a bit. Though you are rat in the maze,
right now, your efforts might help many other folk in time to come.
