suddenly cannot open an image file

PS 7 on a Vista machine with lots of RAM.

 

All has been working well for months and suddenly I cannot open any image file or start a new one. Tried re-installing from OEM disc and no improvement. Removed PS7 VIA the Windows utility and re-installed entire application from OEM disc with still no improvement.

 

When I try to open or start a new image the blue bar at the top of PS is illuminated, then I click on FILE and then on either NEW or OPEN. At that point everything stops. The drop down menus are grayed out and I cannot close the program by normal means. In order to close it I have to go to Task Manager and close the thing.

 

BTW: Sometimes Task Manager shows that the PS EXE application is using 44K and other times it shows about 7K.

 

Any suggestions will be happily recieved.  Jack
