Hi all. We have a machine here at Work which was previosuly installed with a Full version of CS that we purchased for our graphics work. Our IT have since had to format this machine and reinstall Windows XP c/w SP2. Since then we have been unable to install CS. It starts the instllation and then bombs out about 1/3 of the way through (the progress meter mentioning something about ICC profiles) and then we get a "Catastrophic Error" and the installation just quits. We have tried it on a number of PC's with the same effect. We then borrowed our of our employees home copy of PS7 and then temporally installed it no problem. However, we also installed his copy of ACR1.0 but when you go to open a NIkon NEF file (from a D100) PS7 just quits!!!

We have since uninstalled the PS7 copy and are currently without any version of Photoshop. Is this a problem with SP2, or is there something more sinister at foot. It seems strange that our Copy of Nikon Capture 4, whilst that also installs OK, upon trying to open a NEF file, we get an error dialogue saying that the Imaging Engine could not be initilased, again to do with either missing or corrupt ICC profiles. We have reinstalled the app, but to the same effect. It seems strange that 2 major apps, both have bombed whilst accessing the ICC profiles. Any ideas anyone ? PLease.............
