Mac hangs when starting PS

Hi -
I have CS2 installed on my Mac and whenever I start Photoshop, it takes
literally minutes to get through the "scanning for presets" load. I
have gone into the presets manager and made sure there aren't a lot of
excess presets - there are not. Any help?

Thanks,
Doug

you tried deleting preferences or starting it with default settings by using
>ALT +CTRL +DEL?

I haven't found a way to delete preferences. I deleted some unwanted
presets in the Preset Manager. Does Alt-Ctrl-Del work on a Mac? I
looked through menus and didn't see an option for using default
settings...

Thanks

Right from the Photoshop Help menu:

(Mac OS only) Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder, and drag
the Adobe Photoshop CS Settings folder to the Trash.
New Preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop or
ImageReady.

Thanks - I did that and the problem wasn't solved. I guess i'm going to
need to reinstall. I can't think of any other solution.
