Photoshop CS2 suddenly not working

I'm suddenly having troubles with my Photoshop CS2. I had uploaded the software onto my new laptop, Dell with Vista, and it has always worked fine. Suddenly, this message is popping up and I have no more use of Photoshop CS2:

Strangely, my ImageReady does work. I have uninstalled Photoshop several times and reinstalled it but I'm still getting this message.
Any reason as why this is happening, and what can I do to recover Photoshop?
Will I be able to buy an upgrade or will it always be unrecoverable? Then will I be able to buy the full version of CS4 or will any Photoshop I try and install always be unrecoverable?

Try resetting your preferences as
described in the FAQ
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Photoshop CS2 will not work with RAW images in the Minolta DimAge A2.  It use to work fine

    I have used Photoshop CS 2 with my DimAge A2 for over 5 years in the RAW format.  Now it will not work with RAW with my camera.  I am using Vista 64.Any answers ?  Thanks

    It would seem to me that you have probably had to reinstall Photoshop CS 2.  If that is the case, then you should download and install Camera Raw 3.7.  The version that was on your install disk was updated several times.  And one of those updates probably included support for your camera.  Install ACR 3.7 and see if that helps.

  • Adobe CS2 will not work in Leopard

    Did you know *_Adobe CS2 will not work in Leopard?_* I found out the hard way that Leopard doesn't cost $129; It's $729, because CS2 will not work so you need to upgrade to CS3. This is straight from Adobe support (albeit in Manilla). I can find no documentation on either site that warns you not to upgrade to Leopard if you're running CS2. I am dead in the water until CS3 arrives. Nice move Apple and Adobe. I usually like to get kissed first.

    I'm using Adobe Photohsop CS1 and it is working. There are a couple of little glitches, but nothing major. And whenever there is a major system upgrade you can ALWAYS figure there are some things that are going to break, which is why it is a good plan to install a new system on a new drive or second partition. AFAIK the things that don't work and will never work are Photoshop 7 and Elements 2.

  • After downloading & installing application of adobe creative suite cs2 version 6,  screen of adobe photoshop cs2 is not opened by clicking icon . message is giving " ausba4.dll " was not present. Please guide me.?

    I have downloaded & installed adobe creative suit cs2 version 6 but when I click the icon of adobe photoshop in desktop it is not opened & giving message " this application has failed to start because " ausba4.dll " was not found. reinstalling of the application may fix the problem " I have reinstall & opened many times but even then it is not opened. Please guide me accordingly.

    I'd try disabling the Twain_32.8BA plugin in
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\Plug-Ins\Import-Export
    You can disable the plugin by putting an ~ (tilde) in front of the name or moving the plugin to your desktop.
    Then try photoshop cs2 and see if you still get the error message.
    I suspect the error has to do with your scanner driver, since photoshop cs2 does not have an ausba4.dll

  • Why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing and then it says there is an error and closes itself

    why is my adobe photoshop elements 12 not working. it says initializing then error and shuts itself down.

    Three things you can try:
    1. Clean the superdrive with a proprietory CD/DVD lens cleaner that uses tiny brushes.
    2. Perform an SMC reset:

    3. Try the free DVD player VLC:

  • Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working. I can login to my account but as soon as I do that the screen goes completely white. I can change the volume and I have a mouse but that is it. I've tried safe starting my computer and that doesn't work.

    Help! My MacBook is all of a sudden not working past the login page. A white screen comes up that I cannot get rid of. I attempted a safe start up and that failed as well. It's a white screen where I have a mouse and when I click the volume buttons I can hear it working but nothing else just white. Please help.

    Something you can try is resetting it all Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings. Or go to Settings > Store & sign out & log back in. Another thing you can do is restore your ipod. This has happened to me but the only thing i did was that i created a new account but try doing the things above i just told you. :)

  • In photoshop cc is not working properly right button on the tablet stylus genius

    in photoshop cc is not working properly right button on the tablet stylus, when clicked, the menu appears and immediately disappears in Pshotosho CS6 everything was OK, and in other programs all OK.
    Tablet - Genius G-Pen M712X.

    have you participated on here before, smihop? -- do Adobe representatives ever provide a solution? I pay monthly for all adobe cloud applications <-- doesn't it seem like that should come w/some kind of support? (especially when they push out buggy releases <-- which make me wish I could go back a version)

  • Why does Acrobat suddenly not work on my Mac (won't open pdf files from a web page), yet I can open them from my iPhone? Everything worked fine yesteray.

    Hello:
    I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
    I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
    I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
    I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.
    I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
    However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
    Many thanks.

  • Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

    creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
    I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
    and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
    I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
    at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
    the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
    (note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
    just need advise not to share system specs.
    and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
    it's not to post or share system specs  !!!
    so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

    Hi,
    It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
    If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
    (Image>Image Size)
    If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
    What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
    Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

  • ITunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working.

    iTunes on my iPhone 5 is suddenly not working. Updated to IOS8.0 (not running 8.0.1) a few days go but was fine up until today. Now, when attempting to play a list of songs (artist, playlist or album) it rapidly shuffles through all of them without playing and then it displays a red square next to songs and won't play them at all. It seems to sync with my MBP but then new playlists I've created don't appear on the iPhone even though iTunes on the MBP has them appearing when I click the "on my iPhone tab. Tried the obvious quit and restart approach. No effect. Does anyone have any ideas?

    It's not a hardware problem. The same exact thing just happened to me. My husband reset all settings, not erase all content and settings, after the phone started back up, everything worked like normal again. You just have to redo your settings.

    Hope this helps you!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Photoshop 7 DOES NOT WORK with Leopard ( OS 10.5 )

    If you are not prepared to upgrade your Photoshop 7, DO NOT UPGRADE TO LEOPARD.
    Photoshop 7 and OS 10.5.x (Leopard) are not compatible. When Adobe released Photoshop 7 in 2001 as a Universal Binary for OS9 and OSX they had no idea that Apple would be switching to an Intel chip in 2006. As the release of Leopard is also the end of the Classic environment, this may be the reason Photoshop 7 does not work in Leopard.
    As of the release of CS4, Photoshop 7 can no longer be used as a path to upgrade Photoshop. A full version has to be bought now. But Photoshop CS or later can still be used as an upgrade to Photoshop CS4.
    It is recommended that Photoshop 7 owners still looking to save money on upgrades stay away from eBay, as, unfortunately, much of the software listed is pirated or misrepresented and you will still not be able to upgrade to CS4.

    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion.

    Adobe Photoshop CS5 is not working with Lion. It is totally non responsive to a point where i cannot work. all other CS5 programs seem to be running well so far. any advice? if no, then how do i revert back to Snow leopard?

    I had real problems with all Adobe apps - it said I needed to install a version of Jave Runtime, but kept saying that I wasn't connected to the internet to complete the action. This was not the case - I was connected to the internet.
    I followed this link : http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421  to install a version of Java and all Adobe apps fire up now. Haven't done much testing within the apps, but at least I'm further ahead than I was.
    So thanks to the message boards for helping me out.
