Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error.

When starting Photoshop CS6 I get this error message, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error (-- OK --). This happens on the main screen immediately. Once I click OK the program seems to be alright. But some part of it, that I haven't discovered yet, may not function properly.
I am running Windows7 Professional Service Pack 1 64 bit with Intel i7-4770k CPU and 16 GIG Ram.
This problem just started recently, everything has been fine up till now. I must have done something when trying to defragment the Registry or get rid of temp files.
I have uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled it with no effect. I have tried to run Photoshop CS6 32 bit in Safe Mode, but it will not run. It hangs up on Reading Memory.
Is there any kind log file that would tell me what is causing this to occur?
Does anyone know what might cause this?
Thank you in advance for any helpful information.

Did you reset your Preferences and Photoshop tools. Photoshop Preferences are not removed with an un-install and an Install does not install preferences. Preferences are created for a user id when a user ID start Photoshop and there are no preferences for the user ID.

Photoshop elements editor Could not complete your request because fo a program error

I am running PSE 8.0. On some of my photos I cannot save the image.
Even if I do no editing on the photo and just do a "save as" in a completely
different folder I get the error message Could not complete your request
because of a program error.
I have set the RAM preferences to 1100MB and the history states to 20.
What is the program error?
Looking at the discussion forum, this problem has been there since 2007.
Doesn't Adobe fix its software?
Joe M

I would suggest you to reset the preferences file of photoshop elements and then try. Follow these steps
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

Photoshop CS6 Error Message: Could not complete your request because of a program error.

Photoshop CS6 version 13.0 v64
On Mac OS 10.8.5
Error Message: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Help! My CS6 photoshop was working before I upgraded my operating system to OS 10.8.5. I uninstalled photoshop and reinstalled it. Still doesn't work. I can't do anything in Photoshop, it comes up with that error everytime I try to open a file.

Hi,
Thanks for the information. I tried it and the message "Could not complete your request because of a program error." comes up when I open the program or try to do anything in the program. So when I went to edit preferences it pops the same message up. It won't let me do anything in photoshop. I am up to date on the operating system but that didn't fix it either. Any other ideas would be appreciated. I cant use photoshop on my main computer at all!
Thank you!

Adobe Photoshop Could not complete your request because of a program error

I brought home a Photoshop CC file from work to work on at home. It opened fine, other than some missing fonts which I then installed. I worked on the file for a while and then went to "Save As" a new version. I got a dialog box saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." I tried "Save" instead of "Save As" and got the same result. I tried saving it to different locations, but I keep getting the same error message. I have been using Photoshop CC for almost a year now and have never had this problem. Does anyone have a fix?
The software is Adobe Photoshop CC v14.2.1 x64, and the OS is 10.7.4. Thanks to anyone who can help!

CS6 Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."

I get the error "Could not complete your request because of a program error." anytime I try to open a .psd file someone has sent me.
This error is occuring in CS6.
Anything I can do?

Hi Basedcade,
Do you know what version of Photoshop was used to create the .psd they are sending? II'd want to make sure the person sending the .psd is selecting the option to maximize compatibility when saving the .psd file. How is the person sending you the .psd file, email, etc.? Does the person sending it have an Adobe ID? If so, maybe have them upload the .psd and share it via Creative Cloud to see if it does the same thing when transferred that way?

Error: "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

Photoshop CS5 "Could not complete your request because of a program error." on Save As

Hello all,
We just got a new iMac with 10.9 on it. Photoshop CS5 is having a major problem. About 80% of the time we get an error on Save As, "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
It appears like it might be related to saving JPEGs, as we get the message when saving as JPEG and Photoshop PDF. Saving as Photoshop and PNG work fine.
Running 10.9.3
Photoshop CS5
Creative Cloud is also installed on this machine.

Alright, something on your system is causing odd problems.
Third party plugins would be the first suspect. If you have third party plugins, disable them.
Corrupt font files or corrupt OS font cache would be the second.
See this for tips to troubleshoot font issues: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/troubleshoot-fonts-photoshop-cs5.html
After those 2 causes, it would have to be something invoked, like a scanner or printer driver.
Then we get to bad installs, bad RAM, bad CPU, etc.

Opening psd file in Photoshop coming up with "could not complete your request because of a program error"

I spent roughly 6 hours on a (motion) project in Photoshop, saved as psd, and now every time I try to open it, it comes up with "could not complete your request because of a program error". This really annoys me, for one, it DOESN'T TELL ME WHAT ERROR! How can I get help from Adobe if they have no clue what error it is?
I'm running windows 8.1 64 bit
I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud
I've tried everything people say to do, but nobody else but me seems to be using Photoshop for video editing. I really need this video.

Does anyone have any other ideas as this is very frustrating.
Thanks,
James

Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

When opening a file in Photoshop CC I get 'Could not complete your request because of a program error.'

I can see this is a generic error message('Could not complete your request because of a program error.') and I have done my best to read through many of the responses.
It occurs on the second, third, or sometimes fourth file that I try to 'Open', however I can still use the 'Open With' command through Finder.
I have tried resetting the preferences as per Julieanne Kost's recommendations, I have reinstalled Photoshop CC 2014, Generator isn't turned on, I don't have any Third-Party plug-ins loaded, I have tried running it in Safe mode, and I have reset my iMac's PRAM.
Photoshop doesn't appear to be writing a PSErrorLog.txt file? (~/Library/Preferences/Photoshop CC Settings/PSErrorLog.txt)
I haven't had any other issues.
I am running Photoshop on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
Please can you help me?

Photoshop CC: When I'm trying to draw a rectangle I can't fill it or create a stoke because there is a message telling me; "Could not complete your request because of a program error. What can I do?

It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon.

Could not complete your request because of a program error photoshop cs4

My first frustration right now is that I can't search the forums... anyone got an answer to that? on the right hand side (if I'm logged in) I type in a search for anything and it always shows no search results found! Why? is the search function not working?
Anyway, my problem is that when I try to save a multi-layered psd file into psd or jpg I get this error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
What is causing it?
I checked for updates and PS is up-to-date. I restarted, and it worked great for about 3 saves (different pictures). (I'm basically running through some shots and just doing a quick levels and curves adjustment and running an action putting in my name watermark.)
After that quick edit and trying to save - same error message again.
It started suddenly yesterday - after having used PS for about 1.5 years without a problem. I haven't done any changes to it as far as I'm aware.
Any one seen this before, or have a solution to this?
Thanks!
Computer specs:
Windows 7 Pro - 64-bit
12 GB Ram
750 GB OS hdd where PS is installed

Did you update or change or plug-in or remove anything else on your computer just before it happened? Photoshop relies on other system libraries to do things and maybe one of those changed.
No, I did not change anything; I was editing pictures - from a quadding trip where they asked me to shoot for them - and suddenly I started getting the message on most pictures.
Hard drives are not nearly full. (.99 TB free on media drive and 588 GB free on OS {C} Drive)
scandisk error check? I probably need that.. (I've had some problems with BSOD and had the BIOS corrupted recently that I had to flash the BIOS again. Could that cause something like this?)
How do you reset preferences? Is it the Ctrl + Shift + Alt key immediately after PS starts? I did that and it didn't fix it.
Saving in odd location? No, I don't think so; I save to the same place I save other stuff and I have a solid directory base and I always follow the same procedures. I save back into the same folder I open the file from and save back to the same filename + "edit". That way I can compare side by side and have a backup copy of the file.
The only USB device plugged into the computer is a logitech wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. (And a wired USB keyboard that sits to the side and that I use only when the batteries in my wireless dies.
I can't think of anything that has changed that would cause PS to act like this.
If I can't get it working soon, I'll re-install. I have the Production Premium CS4 version - can I just reinstall PS or would I have to do the whole suite?
Thanks!
PS. I don't know if I was clear enough on what I'm doing: I open anywhere from 1 - 20 pictures at once, and then do a quick level or curve adjustment and save to a different file name. The confusing thing is - some pictures I have no problem with, but others - even though I do exactly the same thing - this error message comes up. I'd say about half of my 107 pictures from the quadding trip refused to save.
It almost makes it seem like some pictures are corrupt or something - and yet, I'd be really surprised to have soo many corrupted images suddenly.
