Might this be a solution?
About week ago I got a 2.4 ghz Macbook and LO - my old PS 7 did not work. I tried reinstalling with no luck. Also fired up a new user acct, still no luck.
(And I swear this is not spam, I am a real user in need of image editing like you).
My main uses of photoshop are:
web page layouts
image tweaking & adjustments for layouts used in InDesign type software
Instead of getting upset, I looked into alternatives and quickly found
Pixelmator
pixelmator [DOT] com
After 2 minutes I could see that I had everything I'd need. All the shortcuts, commands & tools are in the same place as PS. Layers, opacity, filters - all in the same place you'd normally look.
Hey, I'll give it one day of demoing but for $59 a license it looks great.
Good Luck Everyone!
