I use PSPCS2 and have had no problems. Perhaps you could post some of your work here so we can help.

I use Photoshop CS2, and it seems to do the job for me. Then if I want to convert my icons to ICO format I use Axilias Icon Workshop. Works for me.

Macromedia Fireworks 8 and Axialis Icon Workshop are all I need

Axialis Icon Workshop is probably your best bet.

RealWorld Icon Editor is a good alternative to other icon makers, it has some unique features that can save time.

Here are two tutorials:
1) converting images to icons - with per image shadow effects
2) creating icon from 3D model - without leaving the app
