Multiple Program Files / Multiple Photoshop CS4 Programs

I hate this.
On a machine running Intel i7 processor (6G of Ram) I upgraded from XP 32 bit to WIN 7 (64).  I was running an old version of Photoshop (maybe CS4) then (perhaps) reinstalled after the upgrade to CS4.
I have two Program Files folders and each has an instance of Photoshop:
Program Files\Adobe
   - Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)
And,
Program Files (x86)
   - Adobe Photoshop CS4
I can only guess that when I installed Win 7, it kept the old CS4 and then I installed CS4 for 64 bit.  If I go into Uninstall Programs and begin to uninstall the ONE instance of Photoshop CS4, I can tell that the one that is being executed is the Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit).
I'm at a point where the C drive is getting full, and to make matters worse (depending on your perspective) I have downloaded CS5 and would like to install it, but need to 'clean' up what I have first.
Not that anyone would have actually done all of this, but my inclination is to uninstall my ONE instance of CS4 - all programs in the suite.  I don't know if that will get rid of the extra installations.  There's also Lightroom, Premiere Pro, Midia Encoder, etc. in the Program Files (x86) folder  In the folder where I think I am actually executing Photoshop, I only see Llightroom.  That means that I'm executing Photoshop (and maybe Lightroom) in the Program Files folder and all the rest of the suite in Program Files (x86) folder.
So, the question is:   If I completely uninstall Adobe CS4 and there remains some Adobe programs in either Program Files folders, you think I can just delete them?
Any other suggestions?

I don't have a choice in uninstalling all of CS4 - regardless of where they reside.  Hopefully, the Uninstall Program will figure it out.
If you hear a loud ARRGGGG from the Atlanta Area, it will be me putting a curse on the whole Windows World, not me biting on anything.
I'll report back unless the PC is dark, and silent (other than the spitting of sparks and flames from it's insides).
Sometime Later . . .
OK, all of the uninstalls seems to have uninstalled everything in all locations.
I still hate this.
Sometime Later Still
I still don't have enough space on C: to install -  not according to Adobe Knowledge that says I need 24 GIG.
Any ideas about putting it on another internal drive?

    I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

    And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
    Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
    Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
    You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
    Here's how to do both:
    Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
    Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
    Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
    Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
    Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
    Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop.  Maybe you don't want that.
    You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
    When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

  • Program error sur photoshop cs4

    could not complete your request because of a program error sur photoshop cs4 au moment de l'enregistrement

    Sounds like it did not install correctly. Uninstall, then reinstall. If that does not help, use the Adobe CC cleaner. It will remove all traces of your Adobe programs. Then do a normal install. If it still is not working, let us know.

  • I can't open .CR2 files in Photoshop CS4

    I'm unable to get the .CR2 files from my new Canon Rebel T3i to open in Photoshop CS4.  I just got this camera and I never had this problem with my old camera (Rebel Xsi).  The raw files from the Xsi will still open, but not the ones from the new camera.  Can anyone help me understand why this is happening?
    Thanks,   Jo

    Just to be perfectly accurate, that would be two options. 
    To use the free Adobe DNG converter, you would download and install the very latest version then whenever you want to edit raw images you'll go through a process something like this:
    1.  Upload the .cr2 files from your camera into a folder on your hard drive.
    2.  Run the DNG Converter application and select the folder (it works on folders, not files).
    3.  Convert all the .cr2 files to .dng files.
    4.  Open the .dng files into Photoshop CS4 through the Camera Raw dialog.

  • LabVIEW function to detect 32 Bit (X86 Program Files) vs 64 Bit (Program Files) System?

    I am looking for a LabVIEW function that detects whether the system is a 32 bit or 64 bit system.  The reason for this is that I need to change our file paths to draw from either the X86 Program Files folder or the Program Files folder, I'd rather do this programatically so as not having to do it manually each time.
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Use "Application Directory" for relative paths from your EXE in "Program Files".
    Otherwise, use "Get System Directory.vi" and select "Application Files" as option.

  • Photoshop CS4 "Program Error" when using Text tool

    Hello. I was having problems with Photoshop displaying a "Program Error" every so often, so I deleted the preference file and all seemed good. But after deleting the preference file for my Photoshop CS4 and re-launching Photoshop, the text tool causes Photoshop to display a Program Error when using the tool. It never did this before. Should I reinstall Photoshop? I am using a Powermac G5 running 10.5.8. I have already tried repairing the disk permissions.
    Thanks

    Thats kinda what I thought too, but the problem started happening randomly. It started when we were trying to use photomerge with large photos. The program just started giving the program errors. I still think it may be a font problem, but without going through my 2000+ fonts and disabling them one by one, how can I resolve this issue?
    Thanks

  • Photoshop CS4 program error: deleted prefs, keeps coming back instantly

    I am running Photoshop CS4 extended on my Mac OS X 10.5.6 OS. Out of no where, I create a new file, try to fill a layer with a solid color, I get the generic program error message. I click OK to get rid of it, but it is erratic. I have to force quit the program.
    I deleted the pref file manually as well as Apple + Option + Shift keys while loading the program and had Photoshop delete it for me.
    What other files do i need to delete/reset for this to work properly again?
    My computer:
    Mac Pro Dual Quad (octo)
    12 GB of ram
    I pulled up activity monitor and it isn't using much memory.

    sounds like a bad directory I would run Diskwarrior or disk utility of the OS install DVD

  • Photoshop CS4 "program error"

    I am running MAC OSX 10.5.8 on a g5 and our office recently updated to CS4. For the first week, things went smoothly, now Photoshop is producing an error. "Could not complete your request because of a program error." In order to do anything in PS after I get that error, I have to Force Quit. So far it hasn't effected any other CS4 programs. I have uninstalled photoshop, then reinstalled. It worked for a few days, then started again with the error message. We have 4 machines running CS4 in our office and 2 of the 4 are having the same issue. HELP PLEASE!!! very frustrating.

  • Will this download open CR2 files on a CS4 program from a Canon 5D Mark III?

    I know that Cs4 will not support CR2 files from a New Mark III.  I need to fix this.  With the CC, will it allow me to open the CR2 files in PS CS4?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The 5D Mark III was first supported in Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6 and later.
    So, to answer your question, yes CS6, CC and CC 2014 can open and edit Raw files from the 5D Mark III.

  • Unable to open or create files in photoshop CS4

    Suddenly my Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. I can open the program, but are not able to either open files (jpg, psd, tif ++) or create new files. No error message, it just doesn't happen anything. The program doesn't stop working either, I can still browse all menues or try to open the file again, but nothing happens, it's just like the functions doesn't work. Sometimes I''m able to open a file, by browsing my computer and choose "open in photoshop cs4". Then the file opens in Photoshop, but I'm not able to do anything. No menues or actions are working. I'm running 64bit Windows 7 on a Lenovo T420s laptop.
    I'm running photoshop version 11.0.2
    I have tried to reset the preferences, tried to reinstall Photoshop, tried other versions (CS5) and even tried to reinstall my computer. Doesn't help, the program is still not working.

    I am not sure why some computer mfgrs. are going to the dual video chip setup, but it does seem popular.
    As you found out, the use of the Intel chip can be problematic. We see this a lot in the Adobe Premiere (video editing program) Forums, and it has become a real sore spot.
    One of the major weaknesses is that while Intel makes great chips, they have historically had abysmal driver support. Some computer mfgrs. to re-write the Intel drivers, and that can help - but it can also hurt, depending on the regularity, that they issue new drivers. Even a simple OS update/hot-fix can render a video driver obsolete. That is one reason that ATI/AMD and nVidia issue drivers with such regularity (usually about 1/mo.).
    Good luck, and wish that I had some "fix" for you. With some computers, users HAVE been able to disable the Intel graphics chip, but it does not sound like that will be the case with your computer. Have you looked at setting the video chip in the BIOS w/ SETUP?
