Hi guys, so I formatted my laptop for the holiday so I can get a fresh start. I installed windows 8 pro (not 8.1) and I installed photoshop (it also installed bridge) cs6.

Whenever I try to open photoshop, it crashes without an error report, it just says: "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working". with the "close program" button.

It is a fresh install and is the only thing installed at the moment, so it cannot be thirdparty plugins, programs, fonts, etc. Bridge works fine but Photoshop does not, what could be the issue?

Thanks in advance.
