[X-Newbies] Photoshop disappears

[J]

I have already taken the bad icons from the dock because repairing  
permissions has no effect on bad software that has turned into text  
that can only be opened by BBEdit Lite..

The whole application has also lost it's icon and can't be clicked on  
so they cannot be replaced.

I have repaired the disk itself with Disk Utility while booted from  
the installer disk and the Permissions as well from the HD. (Each one  
must be done from the DVD and then HD respectively)

I don't mind reinstalling Photoshop etc but I am worried there is  
something else that is wrong I have missed.

I have also cleared my Spotlight by deleting the index by adding the  
whole HD to the Privacy pane.

I can dump the Caches folder from the HD>Library(books)>Caches as  
well as the Fonts in there, but I don't think that's the problem.

Will call ACPP tomorrow and ask if there might be anything else wrong.
