Have you tried opening Photoshop using the 'exe.' file in Programmes yet?
Can you right click on an image and 'open with' Photoshop from the drop down?
It does sound though, if you're getting user account messages, there's something more sinister going on.
What about uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop?

You have to use the 'Edit' function in Lightroom to open an image in PS. Right click on the image in Lightroom and click on 'Edit in', choose Photoshop. You also have to have opened both Lightroom and Photoshop as Administrator. To do this right click on their icons and a small menu will open click on the 'More' in the middle and another a small menu will open, the middle is an option to open as Administrator. The same process is used for both. you should then have no further problems.

Quote: but layers are not possible in Lightroom.
I think what Daffy1 is saying that if, for example, he has five bracketed pictures selected in Lightroom, by clicking on "Open as layers in Photoshop" that should creat a file in Photoshop with each Lightroom image as a layer. He can then blend etc in Photoshop.
Hope this clarifies the situation. Sorry I have no answer to the actual problem
