Problems launching Adobe CS2 applications: Check drive format

If you are having problems launching Adobe CS2 applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) -- typified by a brief appearance in the Dock after double-clicking then quick disappearance -- check your drive formatting: these applications will not work with case-sensitive, HFS Extended Journaled disks under Mac OS X.

Unfortunately, the most viable solution to this problem is to simply reformat the host volume as standard, non-case-sensitive HFS Extended Journaled.
