Photoshop crashing before I can do anything CS6

I recently moved from CS3 to CS6 and now whenever I open a document and select the marquee tool or any other tool photoshop crashes straight away saying Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working. This is Happening in both the 32 bit & 64 bit versions on my system.
This is my error report -

Oh I have figured it out, CS6 Doesn't like the use of dual monitors across multiple graphics cards as I have an extra monitor on my intergrated card, I switched this off and away I went.

  • PS CC, loads but then crashes before i can do anything. any ideas as to what i could do?

    I havent run PS CC for a couple weeks, and I have not changed anything on my computer that i am aware of (is a brand new build).
    Today, I went to mess around with PS and possibly edit some images but it woulndt load properly. Well, it loads but then crashes (just closes) before I can do anything. A couple times i got a pop up indicating it cant connect to the adobe servers (not that you need net service to use the program of course) but i dont even get that popup anymore.
    This is *really* ticking me off. I dont use a firewall, but do use eset node32 antivirus 2014. never set the firewall in that eithe (not really sure how to since they changed things since the last time i bought that program). windows firewall is set, but adobe it set to go through it
    LR5, PSE12, Premiere pro CC - they all load no problem but PS CC does not load properly.
    Ive run malware bytes, did a reset/boot of the computer so far. the only program Ive noticed issues with is PS CC.
    ANY ideas?

  • Mail Crashes before I can do anything with settings

    Mail crashed while I was reviewing an incoming communication. And composing. Now, when mail opens, it gets stuck on the same 2 pieces of mail and then crashes.
    I attempted to reinstall Mail from the system disks to my external harddrive as I thought I would try doing a custom install. It didn't really work and I had a scare that my external was hooped. It is OK. Both Mail on my hard drive and my external harddrive now have the same problem - the same mail.
    1) Can I fix mail without reinstalling ?
    2) Can I keep it open long enough to go into the preferences ?
    3) Can I do a custom install without affecting my harddrive ?
    4) Any idea why this happened in the first place?
    Thanks!! I am surviving with my laptop at the moment.

    Valerie,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    Hold down the Shift Key, while you click on the Mail icon in the Dock. This prevents Mail from opening any mailbox, will allow you to choose another, until you minimize the Message Preview Pane, and delete the two pieces of Mail, or park them into another mailbox, for laer attempts to salvage.
    Keep us posted with your progress.

  • I installed Encore by reverting to Premiere CS6, but after Encore loads and a new project is created, it crashes (exits) before I can do anything.

    I followed the procedure described on the website of uninstalling Premiere CC, installing Premiere CS6, uninstalling it leaving Encore installed and reinstalling Premiere CC. I also installed the menu presets as described on another page of the website.
    Encore loads and I try to create a new project specifying pathname and project name. Before I can do anything further, Encore exits with a windows dialogue about "Due to a problem the program must exit".
    I did notice that some of the text boxes were filled in with values corresponding to old projects so Encore is picking up old configuration information from somewhere.

    Thanks for this. The reason why I uninstalled PR CC was that in trying to follow the procedure in Encore CS6 not installed with Creative Cloud I came to step 5, Locate Premiere Pro in the list and click Install. But with PR CC installed, the button just says "Up To Date". Uninstalling allowed me to proceed.
    Windows 7, and I tried running as administrator with no change.
    Permissions seems unlikely to me, but if Encore can pick up old configuration data, which relates to projects that no longer exist and the pathnames won't be valid seems more likely. Do you know where it is stored so that I could try deleting it? When I last used Encore it was on Vista.
    I would love to do a full Adobe uninstall as I have CS4 and 5.5 versions still hanging around, but errors occur if I try to uninstall them, and even when I tried downloading a special cleaner program from Adobe it didn't succeed.
    Fortunately I have access to Canopus Edius and as a short term solution I have used that to author my DVD, but it would be great to get Encore up and running.

  • My photoshop elements 5 photo downloader crashes before I can download my photos .

    why does my photoshop elements 5 photo downloader crash before I can download my photos? I tried to uninstall and reinstall it but it still crashes. The error code is : c0000005 Address 7c910919.

    To uninstall PE12 on a MAC, can I just drag the PE12.app to the trash?
    No! That will give you no end of trouble and will not fix anything. If you ever do need to uninstall you MUST use the uninstaller in applications>adobe photoshop Elements 12.
    Go to your username>library>preferences and delete the following:
    com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 paths
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 settings
    com.adobe.Elements Organizer.12.0.plist
    com.adobe.ElementsOrganizer.12.plist
    and any lockfiles with the same names. That library is hidden. To see it, option click the Go menu in the Finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account.
    While you're in there go to the saved application states folder and delete any pertaining to PSE. Y
    Repair permissions and try again. You will need to select your catalog on first opening organizer.

    Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.

  • I just updated to ios7 and my phone wants me to connect to iTunes before I can do anything.  My computer is broken and I'm borrowing someone else's.  Will it try to sync with their computer? Can I get around using iTunes somehow?

    I just updated my iPhone 4S to iOS7 and it wants me to connect to iTunes before I can do anything. But my computer is broken and I'm borrowing someone else's. Will it try to sync with their computer? Can I get around using iTunes somehow?  I'm new to this; any help would be appreciated!

    If the device is indicating to connect to iTunes, then it is in recovery mode. You will need the computer and iTunes to recover it. You can fix the iTunes to not sync to your device, but just let it recover the phone. I hope you would have a backup of your data in iCloud, since it is no longer available to you on the phone.

  • Adobe in design cs2  crashes before it  can open - Please HELP!!

    Dear Wise ones:
    I have been using my ID CS2 for years and all of  a sudden I went to open it one day and it crashed before it opened.  I tried this several times, sent  crash reports to Adobe but when there  was no response from them I decided to try to reinstall the suite.   I did this according to the instructions (deleted the files/folders as per the instructions, uninstallled acrobat etc), then tried to open the newly re-installed InDesign  but it CRASHED again.  I called Adobe today and after being on hold for 35 minutes was told they could not help me with CS2 and I should try the forum so here I am.
    Attached is today's crash report.  It starts  with

    etc. etc. (as mentioned, full report is attached)
    So far, the othe programs in CS2 open.
    Please please help me.  I have a show that opens in the beginning of March and I depend on In Design to make my artwork.
    Believe me , if I could afford to go out and upgrade my MAC and version of CS, I would but unfortunately I cannot do that at this time.
    Is there anything I can do to solve this problem?
    I truly appreciate your time and assistance.
    Thank you,

    To me this implies something wrong with a plugin or a system library. Did you delete InDesign and your ~/Library/Adobe/InDesign folders before re-installing? Otherwise there might be something wrong with your OS...

  • FCP 7.0.3 Import window closes itself before I can select anything

    I just reinstalled FCS on my mac book pro and updated it to FCP 7.0.3. I am running Yosemite. When I select file>import the dialogue pops up but before I can click on anything or make a selection it closes. Anyone else see this behavior? What might be the cause?
    MBP Retina (2012)
    2.3 GHz core i7
    16 GB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
    OS 10.10.1

    Well, I would say trash your preferences, but this is a brand new install...
    One big thing might be that FCP 7 isn't supported on Yosemite...nor on the previous OS. FCP 7 was discontinued before both came out, and neither were written with support for FCP 7 in mind. The core of FCP is Quicktime, and Quicktime is being phased out by Apple...it is moving towards AV Foundation, which is the core of FCX.  In fact, QT 7 that is the main core of the app isn't on Yosemite, only the hobbled QTX.

  • Photoshop CS4: Before you can perform printer-related tasks ...

    Scenario: I open two JPG files. Select one, and print it. Select the second, and get the message "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer". Go back to the first, the print is fine.
    It seems to be only with some files, size does not matter. These are JPGs, so what can be wrong?
    This KB is no help, so any other ideas?

    [Note that I was logged in under an obscure account when I started this thread]
    Tried changing the default printer, same problem.
    [LATER] SOLVED! It seems the problem is that the resolution and size of the image combine to create an image that would not fit in the printer, so Photoshop ask you to intall one that can print it. This is really dumb, as you can resize the printout. See this thread.

  • IMovie 09 Crashes Before I Can Even Choose Something To Import

    IMovie has a massive problem with importing video (not from a camera). As soon as I choose to import video it shows the finder as it should, but I get the wheel of death which doesn't stop.
    It has kind of developed this problem over time, I used to be able to import fine, then I could navigate through finder a bit but it would crash when I got a few folders deep, now I can't even go 1 level deep.
    Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening and how I can fix it? I'm using an IMac 7,1 running Mac OS X 10.6.4, so upgrading to iLife 11 doesn't really seem like a good option, as I'd also have to upgrade the OS (and spend money, which I'd prefer not to do).
    Thanks
    Thanks

    You need to create a new project before you can edit the video. When you import video it goes into an Event. You then create a project (File>New Project) and drag clips or parts of clips into the project. Full editing features are then available. It's best if you have Show Advanced Tools checked in iMovie>Preferences, as this gives you access to some important additional functions.

  • HELP.. System crashed before i can deactivate my Adobe Acrobat 8

    My system crash before i could deactivate my acrobat..
    IBM has since replaced a new HDD with Vista on it and i have since tired to reinstall Adobe Acrobat 8.0 with my serial No.
    I keep getting a message stating that my serial no has already been used (or something within that line)... how do i get it to work..
    Please help
    Justin

    Each commercial copy of Acrobat 8 was usable by the same person on two computers via the activation process, Adobe manages. When you try to activate a third time a dialog box comes up with a telephone number for you to call. You need to call the number, explain the circumstance, and then Adobe will grant you another activation. There is nothing anyone here can do to help you.
