CS5 Shuts down

I have had CS5 installed for a couple of months but about a week ago it started shutting down if the first thing I did was create a new file.  No error message just shuts down the application.  If I open it and open an existing file, I can THEN go to File-New and will be OK.
Steps causing error, Open PhotoShop CS5, go to File-New, the new file box comes up and I hit OK, then PS CS5 is just gone.

Is it possible Windows Update caused new display drivers to be downloaded?  Usually these are not as good as the ones you can get from the web site of the maker of the video card (e.g., nVidia, ATI, Intel).
Something to try to see if it is the OpenGL driver:  In Photoshop, choose Edit - Preferences - Performance and try unchecking [ ] Use OpenGL Drawing.  If this works around the problem, you'll definitely want to update your video drivers as I mentioned above, then re-enable that setting.
Good luck!

  • CS5 shuts down everytime I access Pixel Bender Gallery then Oil Paint"

    CS5 shuts down every time I open Pixel Bender Gallery_"Oil Paint" selection only.  I've spent most of the day trying to use the Pixel Bender plug-in that's located in CS5 FILTER Menu.  I am on an iMac OS X--Snow Leopard.  The time I didn't spend on rer-opening CS5 I used trying to find the way to ask a question.  Yes, I know that's lame
    , but I'm 66 yrs old so don't yell at me!

    The crash log is from Photoshop; yes, this problem only happens with
    "oil paint Filter"; pixel dimensions are 432-width x 288-height (resolution is 72)  The only info I can get about GPU is:
    Chipset Model:          NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT
      Type:          GPU
      Bus:          PCIe
      PCIe Lane Width:          x16
      VRAM (Total):          128 MB
      Vendor:          NVIDIA (0x10de)
      Device ID:          0x0395
      Revision ID:          0x00a1
      ROM Revision:          3022
    (I obviously copied that from the "about this MAC" section but it's the only thing that refers to a GPU--I know I didn't buy one--did I?)    Thoughts?

  • Photoshop CS5 shuts down when I try to open a file or save something.

    I'm not sure what I have done, but I just used it a few days ago with no problems. I could open files from the file menu and save-as things. Now when I try to open a file from my documents folder it shuts down. What is the problem. I have tried to uninstall photoshop and reinstall with a few things that are now working (something about the color scheme had to be switched to windows 7 basic and I couldn't save-as things), but this one problem is still there.  Any help? I am super computer illiterate, so if you talk about third party plug-ins or things like that, I have no clue what that means.
    Thanks

  • InDesign CS5 shuts down when inserting left master page.

    InDesign CS5 is shutting down whenever I attempt to insert a page from a master. I am attempting to insert a verso page before a spread. Normally it would bump the current verso to recto and the recto down to the next spread. (I need to add many blank versos in a document that has facing pages.) I have the latest update (7.0.3), and have read all previous posts on similar issues. Have tried several fixes (including deleting columns on the master pages which I have done, to no avail.) and am about ready to save all of my files back down to CS4 just so I can get the work done. Is there a remedy to this bug yet? I was hoping that 7.0.3 fixed it, (and the random elements that appear from master pages on documents that have been converted from CS4), but that doesn't seem to be the case.
    Is anyone else having this trouble? Adobe? are you working on this problem? Thanks for any help.

    We're seeing more reports of trouble with leagcy files in CS5 than any previous version. I'm now advocating that files you intend to convert should be exported to .inx or .idml from the original version, then open that instead of the .indd in CS5.
    And if this pops up again with a file that you can't get to work with a simple export to .idml for CS5, try opening that in CS4 and re-export to .inx, then move that back to CS5. you never know.

  • Photoshop CS5 shuts down when I open a photo

    I just purchased Photoshop CS5 last month and it won't work!  Photoshop will open, but as soon as I open a photo, it shuts down telling me there is an error and it needs to shut down.  I can work in Camera Raw, and try to then open in Photoshop, and it shuts down too.
    I'm not super computer savvy, but I know enough, so I need help please!!!!  I am starting a photography business, and I have 2 families pictures to finish editing.
    I take instructions well, if you can tell me some things to try I would be so grateful for any help!
    Thank you so much!!!
    Holly

    Thank you for the help!!  It was the video card.  I put the new one in tonight that I order
    ed and it fixed my problem.  Thanks again for you help, it is much appreciated!!!

  • CS5 shut down when useing pixel bender

    I have down loaded Pixel Bender and some time it shut down my CS5!! Also get something about the gpu. The image dimensions exceeds the hardware capabilities of your gpu. SO how can I fix this.....
    Keith

    Yeah, the graphics driver is incompatible. That is nothing anyone can change. PB is legacy tech, anyway. You could try this, if it's realyl close to your heart:
    http://aescripts.com/pixel-bender-accelerator/
    Otherwise I wouldn't bother. Most PB filters are nothing more than half-baked tech demos and I wouldn't consider them usable for production purposes.

  • CS5 shuts down immediately after opening

    It worked fine yesterday. Today when I start the program, it appears to go all the way through its start-up procedures then immediately shuts down and disappears. I'm unable to access anything in the menus before it shuts down so I can't check or change any settings. I tried opening a photo by selecting it in Bridge and opening it in Camera Raw then clicking Open File and had the same problem: from Camera Raw Photoshop starts up then closes and disappears.

    That seems to have fixed the problem - thanks!
    I discovered it was impossible to get the reset dialog box to appear until I did the following: hold down Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys. While holding them down, RIGHT click on Photoshop to get a menu then Left click on Open on the menu. Then the reset dialog box appeared and I reset Photoshop. Photoshop got half way through loading then stopped and disappeared. When I clicked on Photoshop like I normally do to open it (and this time WITHOUT holding down the Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys), it booted normally and so far everything appears to be ok. Maybe that will help others who are unable to get the reset dialog box to appear.

  • Flash Catalyst CS5 shuts down on video import

    Hello,
    After designing a working webpage with videos without any issue, my computer decided it no longer wanted to import videos into Flash Catalyst CS5 or Flash CS5 without causing the program to close.

    Hi,
    That really helped me out!
    I was playing around with importing all different file types to see what would crash Flash Catalyst and it appears to just be .flv files, because it imports images, mp3s, and swf files and .f4v video files with no problems. Hey, at least now I can continue importing videos as long as they are .f4v's!
    Would still be helpful to figure out why it doesn't like .flv's though...
    The step are: File>Import>Video/Sound File...Dialogue box opens, I choose any .flv file (include files which seemed to work fine before) and the program just quits itself giving me the error report window. When I use .f4v files no such problem occurs...
    Will send you a yousendit link containing one of the guilty .flv files now - this is a .flv file I used in creating a page with flash Catalyst just days ago before it decided it would no longer import them.
    Thanks for your help so far

  • Indesign CS5 shuts down doing the "cmd z"   , stürzt ab wegen Befehl "STRG +z"

    Hallo Adobe-Fans,
    habe seit CS5 ein immer wiederkehrendes Problem mit dem "rückgängigmachen". In nahezu 100% der Fälle, egal ob über PullDownMenu oder über Shortcut betätigt, stürzt das Programm ab und will neu gestartet werden. Das ist nicht nur sehr lästig, es gehen in der Tat auch Änderungen, die kurz vorher getätigt wurden, verloren.

    Hoffe, hier weiß einer Rat.
    Danke!

    Hast Du alle Upgrades für CS5 installiert?
    Dass Windows 8.1 einige Jahre nach CS5 entwickelt wurde ist dir hoffentlich bewusst? Das reibungslose Arbeiten mit Altversionen auf neuen Betriebssystemen wird nie garantiert.

  • PS CS5 shuts down every 5 minutes

    does anybody know why this happens?

    With the information you provide (little) I assume pretty much nobody can tell.
    Boilerplate-text:
    As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems You might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences You’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
    System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 sometimes shuts down unexpectedly.

    After starting Adobe Photoshop CS5 (without selecting any photo) I enter: file>automatic>photomerge.
    The result is an error message: Adobe Photoshop CS5 stopped working.
    After that Adobe Photoshop CS5 shuts down.
    I am using a Samsung PC, Intel Core i5 2410M cpu, Windows 7 Home 64 bits, 4 GB.
    I re-installed the software but the error remains.

    Thanks all for your help. I have done a lot of tests wich RAM changes:
    I have 2 Banks with each have 2 slots (Bank 0/0, Bank 0/1, Bank 1/0, Bank 1/1). In each Slot is a 4 GB Module. All works fine to 12 GB RAM, but as soon I put a module in Bank 1/1, Photoshop (and only Photoshop) crashes with a kernel panic. All my other programs (Adobe Premiere 5.5, Avid Media Composer 6, Apple Final Cut Pro X, aso.) works fine.
    So there are only 2 options: Bank 1/1 is corrupt because it is with each module (so the Modules works fine, I think), and therefor the Motherboard is corrupt, or Photoshop has a problem with over 12 GB RAM. Because I have no other machine with more then 12 GB RAM, I have attached a link with my test-file. It's only a simple file, and you need only to add 3-5 more text layers. If that works on other machines with 16 GB RAM, my motherboard is corrupt.

  • CS5 is shutting down when I attempt to open a file

    I'm having issues with CS5 shutting down when I attempt to open a file.  I have reinstalled it to no avail.

    Your post is completely devoid of any relevant details like operating system and other stuff... Coulkd be anything from graphics driver issues to fiel system issues. Trash the prefs, update your graphics driver. For anything beyond peopel are goind to need a lot more info.
