In CS5, you need to press and hold the shortcut key as you launch PS in order to delete the preferences/settings file.

@RustanLucena The higher that value is set at, the more RAM (and, *gulp*, virtual memory!) Photoshop requires to function.

I've got mine at 30, but I also have 8gb RAM.

i see that the history states(under performance tab in preferences window) is at 20. mine is maxed out so i can easily go back a previous history morethan 20. try it and i hope it helps..
