Photoshop CS5 Extended - Crashing on startup

[Justin_Hassler]

Computer Specifications:

Manufacturer: ProStar

Model: P150HM

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2720QM CPU @ 2.20GHz

Installed Memory: 8 GB
​Operating System:​ Windows 7 Professional (SP1)

System Type: 64-bit Operating System

GPU:

• Name: GeForce GTX 460M
• Driver version: 391.01

Photoshop Information:

Product: CS5-Extended 64-bit

Version: 12.0.4 x64

Okay now that that's out of the way let me get straight to it: Photoshop has the following windows appear upon launching:

I have checked the GPU driver for the latest version and I have it installed.

I have been to this page https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/error-photoshop-has-encountered-a-problem-with-the-display-driv... which led me to this option:

Which then led me to this:

Which is impossible for me to do since as soon as I launch PS CS5 it crashes.

I have also checked the forums for this question and I can see that other people have had similar problems and issues. But each of them seem to get very specific to the exact build of that user and so I figured that if I wanted a precise answer I should just post in the forums myself.

So what should I do?

Potential Factors:

• I am running two monitors: the one integrated with my laptop and an external one attached with a DVI cable.
• I use CCleaner which removes unused entries from the registry and clears caches among other things.
