If you haven't tried this you might give it a go:
hold down Alt, Ctrl, and Shift keys while starting up Photoshop. A dialog box will appear asking if you wish to delete the preferences/settings file. Delete it, when you restart Photoshop it will automatically rebuild the preference files.
Thanks so much for the suggestion, however, photoshop CS3 is no longer installed on the machine. I ended up taking all associated files out by deleting in the "programs" section of the c:/ drive. CS3 would neither completely uninstall nor re-install. I opted to use the free version of CS2 with the RAW plugin and will most likely replace the hard drive with a larger one and then install clean...cheers my friend!
