Photoshop cs5 not working(opening) in vista (32bit)

i cannot access photoshop while accessing it from the start menu shortcut .it says adobe cs5 has stopped working.
But can access it through bridge without the filters.
please suggest a remidial solution.

Bump.
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Photoshop CS5 not working with Lucida Grande Regular font

On my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz, I am running OS 10.6.7.
When using Photoshop CS5, if I try to use the font, Lucida Grande Regular, it causes an error.
"Could not use the type tool because of a program error."
When I try to open an existing file that has type layers that include the font Lucida Grande Regular, Photoshop will not open the file. I have several of these files that I want to use. I can open them on another Macintosh and everything works fine.
First I get a message window that says, " Some text layers might need to be updated before they can be used for vector based output. Do you want to update these layers now?" I click on update and then get the following message. "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
I have updated Photoshop CS5 to the latest version, 12.0.4.
I have run the FontTest.jsx script and it shows an error for Lucida Grande Regular.
(IOError: General Photoshop error occurred. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
- <no additional information available>)
The other 100+ fonts on my machine did not create errors.
Since Lucida Grande Regular is an essential font for Mac OS X, I re-installed OS 10.6 in order to have a new version of Lucida Grande Regular. After that re-install I am having the same problems with the font not working in Photoshop.
It also does not work with Adobe InDesign CS5. The font does work in Microsoft Word.
The program Font Book verifies Lucida Grande Regular.
Other fonts including, Lucida Grande Bold, work fine in Photoshop and InDesign.
What can I do to get Photoshop CS5 to work with Lucida Grande Regular?

Wow, I'm so glad I found this thread. This problem has been dogging me for years, and it's so sporadic that I've been afraid of breathing the wrong way lest I somehow incur that diabolical Program Error dialog. I'd managed to reach a truce with Photoshop CS5, getting it into a barely working state, and avoiding all updates... until Lion came along today. Then I updated to CS5 12.0.4, and the Program Errors were back again.
Now I see that the problem does seem to be related to the Lucida Grande font. If there's a layer with that font in it, not only can I not edit that text, but I can't marquee select anything, nor drag any shapes. Deleting caches and massaging fonts are completely ineffectual measures... but if I delete the Lucida layers entirely, we're back in business.
At least so far.
Funny to think that of all the innovations I'd like to see Photoshop adopt, the fixing of this one issue is the thing I'd like to see most. I'll be keeping my eye on this thread, and any updates by Mr. Cox.

Photoshop CS5 not working as editor in Lightroom 3.

Photoshop CS5 is not working as the default external editor in Lightroom 3. It works as the Additional Editor but then I cannot use any of the functions associated with the primary such as Merge to HDR, Open as Smart Object, Open as Layers. I have not been able to find an answer althought there are many similar problem threads.
What happens? When I try to edit in PS5 primary external editor, photoshop opens and nothing happens with .dng files. Tiff files open. Raw do not open Not sure about psd. Cannot do anything with multiple files as they do not open at all (PS5 opens as usual- Nothing happens if PS5 already open)
Mac 10.8.3
LR 3.6 Camera Raw 6.6
PCS5 12.0.4 ACR 6.7
If anyone has solved this, please help me!!! I know its old software but it's what I have and would like it to work.
Thanks you!

You are seeing this Apple caused bug:
Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file? at startup / Tools act strangely.
There is a link to an unofficial Adobe fix.
Any word from Cupertino when this might get addressed?
edit:
10.6.7 is in sixth beta. I HOPE it addresses the bug affecting Photoshop:

Photoshop CS5 not working after reinstalling OS

"To open “Adobe Photoshop CS5.app,” you need to install a Java SE 6 runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet." This is what I get when trying to open CS5, it worked before I reinstalled the OS due to a crash.
I can't dwonload the Java SE 6 as it says it is not compatible.
Anyone got a fix for this? I am a photographer so need Photoshop.
I am connected to the internet when doing this.

Update/ adjust your graphics card driver. Both crashes seem pretty clearly related to issues with graphics acceleration not working as required by both programs.

Update for photoshop cs5 not working, deletes files before installl happens

My computer crashed, so I rebuilt it. I installed photoshop CS5 with no errors. I go to update it and it downloads without any problems. Then when it goes to install it errors out. I found that just as one part of the update is 100% downloaded, it is deleted. And this happens for each and every part of the update, so when it goes to install the updates, there is no files to do that with.

I went to that web site and downloaded those files. And what happens? Most of the files extract without any problem, but the one that errror out on every single one I downloaded was the AdobepatchInstaller.exe. I have 2 computer and tried it on both computers and both said the same thing. When it does extract it, it says it is corrept. So now how is that my computers fault????

Photoshop cs5 not working correctly anymore

'm running windows 7, and am using PS CS5. It has started developing a few problems that are becoming very troublesome. My system is 64-bit running intelcore i5 2320 3.00 gz with 6gb ram. It's a Dell which is probably the main problem to begin with, but here goes.
The first problem:
It won't open any secondary files on the first try. When it doesn't, I have to scroll through folders, then try to re-open the file. Major headache. On my preferences under performance, "Open GLdraw" is not checked.
The second problem:
It often won't let me make any image adjustments on a file, or on a layer unless I close the program and restart.
New problem: saving files in an unrecognized format. I usually can recover some if I open them with paint, but I find this ridiculous.
Anybody have any of these problems, or know of a fix other than re-installing photoshop?
Thanks!

No, didn't work. It's back to it's same old tricks. Won't open a file from another folder on the first try, or make image adjustments without restarting PS. I suspect Extraterrestrial intervention.

Photoshop cs5 not working

Hello there,
I just recently upgraded to Lion OS X and am trying to open some images in Photoshop. However when I open the images it shows up in my layers but the image itself is not no the screen? When I go to fullscreen mode everything is messed up. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Does it have to do with Lion?
Thanks,

PhotoShop CS5 Works just fine for me. I would uninstall and reinstall Photoshop and apply updates.

Working on Windows 7, ran automatic updates recently, now Photoshop CS5 not working

Hi there. I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7. I installed PS CS5 and have been using it with no problems until I ran automatic updates the day before yesterday, now my PS CS5 ACTS like it's open but really isn't. I can't view the screen, see any files, open anything from Bridge, etc. But when I go to shut down the computer, it tells me PS is running. I can shut it down in Task Manager but otherwise, I can't see that it's open. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled and the problem still happens. Any ideas? Did some service pack wipe out my ability to view PS? Bridge opens just fine, as does Lightroom. Any ideas? I'm a professional photographer and this totally has affected my workflow!! Please help. By the way, I can open PS CS3.

Don't ever allow windows to run updates in the auto mode. Change it to where you can run the updater but choose what you want to update. Video card drivers are the worst offender in auto-update. You never know what hits you until the update is done.
You can also do a system restore too. Go back to a date before the updates. Then see if that works. Then go into windows update and change it from auto to manual so you can choose the updates. Stay away from the video card update.
You can go to www.amd.com and look for your crad drivers. Some laptops allow AMD to publish updated driver and some don't. Since you did put the name of the laptop in your post it is best for you to go there and look. The drivers will be mobility drivers. Download the 10.8 mobility driver package.
If you find the drivers download them to your desk top. A download icon will be made. Click on that Icon to download the software. This new icon is the actual software.
Right click on that icon, choose properties, general tab. There should be something about unlocking the file below. Click to unlock then hit apply. Then choose compatibility tab, put a check mark in run as Admin, hit apply, then ok to close. Some people don't do this step but I do to ensure the proper security levels are met (but not needed to do so your choice).
Click on the icon again to install software. when you come to a screen with the option to install/uninstall the software, choose uninstall. Let it run its course. The screen will flicker and you will see the screen go away and come back bigger (no drivers). When done reboot computer.
Click on that icon again but now you want to choose install software. Let it run its course. The screen will flicker and screen will go away and come back.
Reboot computer.
Hope the drivers work. If they don't go back to system restore and choose a point where you had the good drivers and CS5 worked.

Photoshop cs5 not in "open with" context menu

I recently got version CS5 [12.1] of photoshop, installed 64 bit version of it. But the "open with " in right click context menu doesn't show photoshop among the listed programs. i tried reinstalling it but the problem is still there. Can anyone please help? I did 'Choose default pr ogram' and navigated to the Photoshop .exe for the 64bit version. (Default path is C:Program Files, Adobe.....) but photoshop doesn't come. nothing happens, the list of programs remains the same.

Do you see it if you click Choose default program..., then expand the Other Programs section?
If not, can you Browse to the Photoshop.exe file on your hard disk and add it?

Photoshop CS5 not working with my epson 1640xl scanner on Mac OS Lion

Just loaded CS5 on Mac 10.7. I downloaded and installed the latest OSX Epson 1640xl scanner software, and also copied the Twain plugin from the Adobe Goodies CD to the Photoshop > Plugins > Import/Export folder.
Rebooted the computer, power off and unplugged my USB scanner, fired it back up, restarted Photoshop, etc. It no longer shows up in Photoshop>File>Import
But Photoshop doesn't see my scanner at all. In fact, the TWAIN plugin doesn't even show up in the plugins folder list.
Little Help? How do I fix this? Everything worked perfectly with Mac 10.6 I also took the scanner into a epson dealer and the scanner works perfectly.
[email protected]

That scanner is sort of old, and doesn't have a 64 bit driver.
As Noel said: use Photoshop in 32 bit addressing mode to work with older drivers and plugins.

DNG Codec Not Working On Win Vista 32Bit

Having real problems with this DNG Codec I installed onto my Windows Vista 32 Bit system and this is what's happening. Yea, I can now see my DNG raw files through picture viewer and windows explore without going through PS. Unfortunately, when I decide to close down picture viewer the program crashes every time and the computer freezes up. Then I have to choose one of the error solutions to close out the program and the computer reverts back to a normal state after that. Also there is one other quirk it has caused and that is related to the "recycle Bin". When I delete a Raw file into the recycle bin and then want to empty the bin it goes into a non-stop operation of trying to delete the files without actually doing it, go figure and anybody else having similiar problems? Oh, by the way I uninstalled the Codec to see if my computer goes back to its normal behavior and guess what, everything is working as it should so its the Codec that has a major problem.

Ok, I seem to have got around the first issue using this http://bit.ly/mpWcuy
The new box has 16 cores on the cpu whereas the old box only had 4 so I had to up AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY registry entry to 1.2GB (as the calculated 1.07GB wasn't quite enough and the suggestion was to just up it to 1.2GB!)
However, I am now getting a different issue when trying to open the database!

Ctrl+M Curves Keyboard Shortcut Photoshop CS5 not working

For some reason, the keyboard shortcut for Curves (ctl+M) is no longer working. It worked fine for a while and then just stopped. All other shortcuts are working. When I go into Preferences, I cannot assign a different shortcut. So, it seems that there is a problem with assigning ANY keyboard shortcut to Curves rather than some issue with just the Ctrl+M keystrokes. I still can access curves from the menu, but I use curves very often and it is a real inconvenience.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? What is the cause and/or how can it be rectified?

This may help very little, but it's a data point: I can do Ctrl M no problem, it brings the Curves dialog right up. That says it's not a systemic problem with 12.0.3.
Do you have the latest Photoshop update?
What operating system are you running?
Do you have an image layer active when you're trying this? I assume so, since you said you could do Curves from the menu, but I thought I'd ask.
Have you installed any 3rd party plug-ins between the time it worked and didn't?

SB Live 5.1 Platinum- The LIVE Drive2 Not Working On Windows Vista 32

SB Li've 5. Platinum- The? LIVE Dri've2 Not Working On Windows Vista 32BIT?i need halp?tnks

You mean you get audio at all??Heh. I did hear of Windows Update giving some sort of 2. sound so maybe that's what you have. Since Creative isn't going to do any work on the old Li've series (non-24bit), I suggest you try the latest beta kXProject drivers from the driverheaven.net kXProject forum. 3538l is Windows Vista compatible. Just install it with UAC turned off. Don't know how much is working, but it's possible that your Li'veDri've is one of the things. See for yourself. Better than the basic Microsoft implementation, especially for your 5. speaker support.

Photoshop Cs5 not opening files

I'm not actually completely sure if this is an issue with Mavericks because the problem started about 2 1/2 weeks ago, but my Photoshop Cs5 won't open files anymore. As soon as the app launches, I can click on "open..." but as I'm selecting the file, the window will close and after that, every choice on all the drop-down menus is grayed out and can no longer be selected. I've already installed Java for OS X 2012-006 with no luck, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS Cs5 with no luck. Help pleaseeeeeee D:

Reset your Photoshop preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Uninstalling and reinstalling WON'T do that unless you used the CS Cleaner from Adobe to uninstall.
Also, check your Performance preferences:
Toggle OpenGL drawing, quitting Photoshop between changes.
