I have photoshop 5.5 working just fine under windows vista, I upgraded my PC to windows 7 and when I start photoshop 5.5 it just hangs.

I see the main screen open but nothing happens and I just get the busy sign out of the mouse pointer, with Photoshop not completing the start.

I searched online and some reported the same issue and were able to solve the issue by deleting Photoshop setting or preference file. I did that, but still the issue is present.
