Photoshop CS5 will NOT open with Windows 8

I have photoshop loaded on an external hard drive. I was using Windows Vista, but that computer crashed. I purchased a new computer already loaded with Windows 8. Photoshop will not open. I do know there is nothing wrong with the version of Photoshop because if I take the external hard drive to a different computer, it'll open and work fine.
I have changed the compatibility to everything in the list, and nothing works to open Photoshop. I do not have the disk, so I can't uninstall/reinstall, but it's on an external hard drive to begin with.
Any ideas?

When you install on an external drive it writes files to the C drive on the computer you installed from. PS will not work if you plug external into another computer as it does not have the licencing files on the other computer. So in effect the external is only good for one computer.

Photoshop CS5 will not open raw files from Nikon D810. What do I need?

Photoshop CS5 (bought in 2011) will not open raw files from Nikon D810 (bought in 2014). Is there a patch? Is there something I can do?

created by JimHess in Adobe Camera Raw - View the full discussionThank camera requires Camera Raw 8.6 which isn't compatible with Photoshop CS5.

Photoshop CS5 will not open

My photoshop CS5 will not open either from the desktop or from the program list. I can open Bridge but when I then try to view a photo in photoshop I get a message that says Bridge has stopped working and will have to close down.

Please read below item and provide relevant information.

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 will not open some tiff files

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit and I'm using Photoshop CS5 as my default program for opening .jpg and .tif files.
Recently I installed a new scanner (Canon Lide210) and I usually save the scanned images as .tif files (for manipulation later).
Images in .tif format saved from scans with my old Canon scanner (that does not work with Windows 7) open fine in Photoshop but images from the new scanner will not open (message says 'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop').
Can anyone help with this? I always thought tifs were tifs and didn't realise there could be different 'versions'.
I do a lot of detailed artwork and it's important that I can work with tif files (and preferably with this new scanner!!)
Thanks for your help

Thank you all for your help.
The scanner options are to save as JPEG/Exif, TIFF or BMP (with standard, low compression or high compression).
I've just scanned a colour photo and saved it in all three formats (standard compression). All the files now open in PS, with the Camera Raw preview screen (which I've never seen before!).
I've also scanned a black and white drawing, both as a B&W photo and as a B&W document, and saved these scans as TIFFs. Both these now open in PS. The older files that I have not been able to open in PS still do not open. (These files open in MSoft Picture Manager and Quicktime Picture Viewer - though the quality is awful in Picture Viewer.)
It seems to me that whatever was causing the problem might have been 'cured' by some recent software update.
Do you think this is the likely answer? If you'd still be interested to look at one of the rogue files then I could upload one.
Thanks

I upgraded to Mountain Lion, now photoshop CS5 will not open

I order photo prints using one of the Roes software programs. I needed to update Java to 7, and to Mountain Lion and now neither the Roes or Photoshop CS5 will open.

These are the versions of iPhoto that are and are not compatible with Mavericks:
What version of iPhoto are you running? What happens when you try to launch iPhoto? Any message?

Extension Manager CS5 will not open in Windows XP

I have been trying to install any extension in the EM CS5 and it will not open. I have removed it and re-installed several times with no luck. Is there an update or something I need to do to make this work? It will not run through Dreamweaver as well.
Thanks,

1. If "C:\Documents and Settings\<YourUserName>\Application Data\Adobe\Extension Manager CS5\Configuration\Extensions\exman_uiPreferences.mxl" exists, delete this file.
2. Each CS product which Extension Manager supports has a file named XManConfig.xml. If Extension Manager can not find this file from a CS product, Extension Manager will not integrate this product. So in order to determine the cause, you can rename XManConfig.xml for all CS products temporarily (You can find this file under installation directory or its configuration sub-directory of each CS product), as a result, Extension Manager will not integrate any product.
3. Try to launch Extension Manager, if it can be launched successfully, then rename XManConfig.xml back one by one and launch Extension Manager again after each rename. If Extension Manager can not launched after you rename XManConfig.xml back for a certain product, then the problem is relevant to this product, please generate log files to assist troubleshooting. You can read other threads in this forum to learn how to generate log files. Of course, if you don't need Extension Manager to manage extensions for a specific product, you don't need restore name of XManConfig.xml for that product.
4. If Extension Manager can not be launched even if no any product is integrated,also please generate log files.

Itunes version 11 will not open with windows 8 pro, itunes version 11 will not open with windows 8 pro

Photoshop CS3 will not open in Windows 7 after functioning perfectly?

I have just installed Windows 7, 32-bit version within the last month. I reinstalled all my programs, including InDesign and Photoshop CS3. InDesign is working well. Photoshop CS3 worked fine until last week. Overnight Photoshop would not open! I have tried everything I can think of--deleting Preferences (it took me three days to find where it was, and the control-alt-shift doesn't work), and deleted a new program for viewing videos which was the only new program I had installed (just in case), then "repaired" the Photoshop using the original disk.
Finally was able to get into Photoshop BUT: Everything is screwy--colors are off, PS tells me I have only 1600 MB of RAM, when I know I have 2 Gigs installed, it looks really strange--everything is grayed out in a checkerboard pattern.
This is my third post on this issue--CAN ANYONE HELP ME?? I have been without my Photoshop for over a week, and desperately need to get it back. I am just now getting back on track, trying to get my website back, etal. after almost a year out of commission due to a broken back and crashed computer. Now I have my computer back and can't use PHOTOSHOP! HELP!
In addition, my computer suddenly says "We have had to revert to the basic Windows color scheme because there is one program that needs it (???), and then my desktop is all screwed up. I can't get my color management back--have to turn computer off and on again and then it's all right. This always happens after trying to enter Photoshop.
Please email me a response because this is getting very annoying, and debilitating. ([email protected])

Last week I spent 8 hours online with Sony trying to get Photoshop to work. They downloaded a new video card, and driver--nothing has seemed to work. After that I completely deleted Photoshop and re-installed it from scratch. It still does not work--colors are missing, RAM is incorrect--says I have 1678 MB RAM, when there are 2 gigs on the system. It's totally unusable. Since I am seriously thinking of upgrading to PS CS5, both InDesign and Photoshop, I am very nervous about whether that will work in Windows 7, especially after reading all the problems on this forum.
I read the other questions about CS3 and MAYBE it is a Windows Update. That is the only new thing I can think of to have caused this. Windows Restore is not feasible as I have been working on this problem for over three weeks, and can't go back that far.
My question is, is it feasible/safe to delete the LAST update where this happened? That's the only thing that hasn't been done.

Photoshop CS5 will not open in one of four accounts why

I have an issue with Photoshop not opening in one of my four accounts on my MacPro. I had t change my bootup drive to a larger one. Now, whenever I try to open Photoshop CS5 in my primary standard account it says that it cannot find the scratch disk and so can't launch. This is very strange because it will launch just fine in the Admin and two other Standard accounts. I have checked preferences to make sure that the proper disks are selected. I have deleted both preferences files in my standard account. All to no avail. Can someone shed some light on this issue, please? Thanks.MBJ

Bonjour 1.0.6 will not open with Windows 7 RC

I Have had this problem for months. I have a brand new 17" MacBook pro with windows 7 RC loaded via bootcamp. Also in my chain I have an Airport Extreme and a Dell Dimension 8100. The printer is hooked up directly to the Airport via USB. I can print off the Dell machine and I can print from the Mac side of my computer. When booted in Windows 7 on the Mac, I can print if I have my printer is directly hooked up to my computer however Bonjour will not even open. I double click when in Windows 7 and it acts like it wants to open but nothing happens. Also it will not recognize the Airport base station when I run Airport utility.....does anyone know how to rectify this hatred my Windows 7 RC has for all things Mac?
Thanks,
Thad

Yes. Yosemite's installers breaks Photoshop CS5 installs. You will need to reinstall and update. If a message pops up requiring Java, get it from this link: Java for OS X 2014-001

Adobe Illustrator CS5 will not open in Windows Vista

All I get is "Adobe Illustrator has stopped working"
Then i get "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available"
I've tried reinstalling 6 times now, and it still wont work. I dont know where to start. Please help ASAP I have a presentation to submit!!

I beleive you are looking at the right place ,
Click the start Button
At the bottom serach box , type "amt3.log" , does the file show up in the list , if no
then I would say contact Adobe support ,and get this fixed.
The problem could be either at the time of installation or launch.
also can you share the install logs:-
1 .Navigate to the log files in one of the following folders:
Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
Windows 64 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers
The log filename includes the product name and install date, followed by ".log.gz." The extension .gz indicates a compressed format.
Use a decompression utility such as Winzip or StuffIt to decompress the .gz file. Once uncompressed, the log file is a plain text file.
Open the .log file using WordPad (Windows)
copy and paste the log file in the pastebin.com

Please help? Itunes will not open with Windows 7.

I have tried everything in the posts, etc and still can't get it to work. Any ideas? I'm not the most computer literate person so need pretty simple instructions.

1. Right mouse click the iTunes icon and select 'Run as Administrator'
Does it work now?
2. If not, check if this file APSDaemon.exe is the problem here.
Close your iTunes.
Press Ctrl-Alt-Del key and choose Task Manager. In the "Processes" Tab, select the file APSDaemon.exe and click End Prosses button, then close the task manager window.
Now open itunes and see if it is working?
If that works, to prevent having to do the same process everytime you restart Windows, go to. START button, type in
MSCONFIG
Hit ENTER
Click STARTUP Tab, Uncheck "Apple Push", click OK.
Restart Windows.
3. If that fails or you donot see ApsDaemon.exe file in task manager, refer to following article to remove SC files:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2363
4. If that fails, repair your Quicktime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / hightlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR.

I tunes will not open with Window XP

I have try everything that is on the site and can't get Itunes to work on my windows pc. That is the new version. No problem on my power book Mac. I use itunes on my windows pc and everything worked fine until the new version came out. I know that apple has some smart people but they can't to figure this one out. I need help.

replying to jj04
I have try everything that is on the site and can't get Itunes to work on my windows pc. That is the new version.
a few questions before proceeding.
are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
or are you seeing a brief "flash" of the itunes license screen (and then nothing)? if so, do you also see similar behavior when you try to launch your QuickTime?

Photoshop CS5 64 bit will not open in windows 8

PS CS5 will not open in windows 8 (neither will lightroom install)

I am also having the same issue. I have Adobe Photoshop CS5.1. The program worked fine in Windows 7 64bit. I recently upgraded laptops to a Samsung with Windows 8 - 64bit. After full install program will not run/open. Here is what I have tried to no avail:
Right Click Photoshop.exe file > Properties > Compatibility Tab >
Run Compatibility Troubleshooter > Troubleshoot Program >
Checked box that reads: The program worked on earlier versions of Windows but will not install or run >
NEXT > Selected Windows 7 for last version program ran on > NEXT >
Test the Program button > NEXT > No this did not help, report the issue to Microsoft >
Check for more solutions > Issues Found with Yellow Exclamation Point - "Incompatible Program Detected" >
CLOSE
No other options have worked either. Ive tried compatibility for Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and neither of those worked either.
I really do not want to pay to upgrade already - how can this be fixed??
