Hi Mark,
Which CS version?
64-bit or 32-bit?
Which OS version?
If Windows, how is the swap file set-up?
How much memory is allocated to CS?
How much scratch disk space is allocated to CS?
What does CS issue as an error when you try to open the files?
Cheers,

Mark,
Save as PSB if you can. If not, cut into two ore three and fit them back together in CS5. They will do so exactly.

Based on your input, I cannot see an immediate reason as to why this should happen. I have more or less the same configuration and it all works fine. Of course we can discuss later about the need to have a scratch disk on a separate disk but that is not the issue here.
Did you try saving as tif instead of psb? I never use psd/psb but always tif files. If it works with tif, then it may be a data corruption issue of the psb files. Or perhaps something related to your virus scanner or even a corrupt registry entry.
One thing you can do is to trash the CS5 preferences file. Just make a backup of your C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings\Adobe Photoshop X64 CS5 Prefs.psp file and delete the file. If it does not help solve the problem, rename the backup to the original name again.

Hi Mark,
Have you tried "File|Open as... Large Document Format (*.PSB)".
If that doesn't work, I'd try trashing the prefs file as Cem suggested.

Bart
P.S. I see you just found what the issue was, problem solved. Good.

Now you got it!
By the way, I am used of your usual naming, Mark, And the other day when I was reading the post on "most mundane objects" I was thinking about the way it would react in some cases, not really thinking about PS as I never use PSB... It came to my mind then flew away!But By the way, now I know I made sense. :-)
