Photoshop CS3 (Wndows XP) Crashes when I open more than one document.

The last couple of weeks at work have been HELL! All of a sudden Photoshop started bombing out any time I tried to have more than one image open at a time.

If I opened 2 or more images at the same time... CRASH!
If I created two new images... CRASH!
If I created one image then opened another from disk... CRASH!
If I opened an image from disk then created a new one... CRASH!

Why? Because I'd recently deleted a printer and set a new one as my default.

I just reinstalled Photoshop.. still the same.

Simply changing the default printer however; That sorted it out...
Come on Adobe, such an amature piece of codeing... How can opening multiple documents rely on the default printer... sort it out!

    WOW! You saved the day. I was about ready to throw my brand-new Precision M6400 to the sharks. Same symptoms and the same frustration for days.

    Luckily, you've pointed me (and several others, I'm sure) into the right direction.

    Thank you!

    Incredible....I was panicing, uninstalling the whole cs3 suite and reinstalling...and changing my default printer solved it - how stupid!

    but boy...THANKS!

    That's just crazy! It worked for me too. Just got brand new laptops at the place where I work, I'm probably the only who will use CS3. What a pain for the last month. Thanks for the fix.

    Thanks for this tip!

    It amazes me how Adobe manages to create software that can crash because of something like this. I mean opening files should have nothing to do with printing. Freakin' amateur hour..
