Photoshop :: R6034 Error CS2 Drag & Drop

I've had this problem for some time.  I'm on Vista-64-SP2 running Photoshop-CS2 When first installed PS-CS2 worked fine. I got no errors when starting the program and I could drag & drop icons from the desktop or windows onto the Adobe taskbar icon and the photo would load normally. Then I let Adobe automatically upgrade my CS2 and other Adobe products (Dreamweaver CS4, Illustrator CS2, GoLive6, Reader, Flash browser plug-in, etc.) and then I started getting a windows error message R6034 saying that "An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly."  Microsoft says the fix is to recompile the application.  Yeah right! OK, so I delete Photoshop and other applications and reinstall them all and the problem goes away ... until I let Adobe automatically update the products and the problem comes back.  Yes, I can probably live with an unupdated virgin version of Photoshop CS2 but there should be an answer from Adobe or at least someone else to validate that my complaint is not unique. Another problem that may be related is that I've seemed to have lost the ability for Adobe GoLive6 to open Photoshop images for editing Also I've lost the ability to drag & drop from the desktop or a window onto an open Photoshop application or onto its icon on the taskbar. I've searched the web and find nothing similar.  The solutions I have found were unrelated to my situation or were for a Macintosh.  I've searched the forums here and find nothing that gives an answer. I know pretty much what I'm doing around computers and I keep a clean system.
