Photoshop Pixel Bender Plugin Error (CS5 keeps closing)

I'm having an issue with photoshop cs5. I downloaded the Pixel Bender plugin from Adobes website and installed it exactly how it says to, yet everytime I go to click on it an error box comes up saying it encountered a problem and needs to close the program. Here is a quick video of what it's doing.
[video=youtube;9T45Hl3d1BU]http://youtu.be/9T45Hl3d1BU[/video]
I read something about the GL thing or gpu thing having o be enabled in photoshop, well it wont let me check that box. Someone also told me that my video probably doesn't support this plugin. I'm running this on my dell inspiron 1501 that's about 6 years old. Any ideas guys? I really like the way this plugin looks and i'm gonna to be very dissipointed with my computer, photoshop, and adobe in general if I can't get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
EDIT : The video card I'm using is an ATI Radeo Xpress 1150. From the list of video cards that pixel bender works on it doesn't appear that my video card supports it. Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks

Yeah, the graphics driver is incompatible. That is nothing anyone can change. PB is legacy tech, anyway. You could try this, if it's realyl close to your heart:

Otherwise I wouldn't bother. Most PB filters are nothing more than half-baked tech demos and I wouldn't consider them usable for production purposes.

Pixel Bender Gallery Error in Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

When trying to access pixel bender filters with Photoshop CS4, filters>Pixel Bender>Pixel Bender Gallery, I get an Error dialog images as follows...
I have read the ReadMe file and have the GeForce 8500 GT Video Card on this list.
The Pixel Bender Toolkit is installed at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities\Pixel Bender Toolkit c/w pbk filters that run in the toolkit.
In Photoshop there are a number of pbk filters in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Pixel Bender Files.
The Operating system for the computer is Windows XP Professional c/w service pack 2 at least.
My question is... why am I getting this error message and how can It be fixed?

Here are two further images and an NVIDIA System Information report you asked for that I have prepared, I hope this will help.
I am aware that I could download trial versions of Photoshop CS5 and its Pixel plugin version, but first, this first image shows a message that loads from Photoshop CS4 when I start the program and has always done so from day one of owning the machine and the software, could this be of relevence to what could be the root of the issue at hand.
I also use 3D Studio Max with OpenGL and have noted rotating moving objects in 3D space of a file size of 10MB is very slow and chuggie, is this relevent, does this information give any clues.
Thankyou again for your time and effort in helping me resolve Pixel Bender Gallery Error issue.

Pixel Bender 32bit for CS5 crashes CS5 when I select the plug-in

I am running Windows Vista Premium Home Edition SP2 on a Gateway Laptop. I have 2gb of RAM and I have checked and my Video Driver is up to date. I have un-installed all my other filters such as Topez and now running a clean version of CS5. I also run CS4 on the same laptop as I am working on converting as I purchase upgrades to my other filters. Pixel Bender runs file under CS4 but when I install it Adobe Extension Manager CS5 and then start CS5, load an image and then select Pixel Bender, it crashes CS5.
I have deleted the download and down loaded it again. I have looked through the forum and have not located a thread related to this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you.
Michael

What graphics card are you using? What are the driver date and version as displayed via Vista's Display preferences?

Pixel Bender Crash - Phothsop CS5

Hello.
I built a PB Graph (4 Kernels, 9 Connections).
I run it under Photoshop CS5 64 Bit on Windows 7 64 Bit.
Often It crashes after I set the slider and press OK.
When it crashes it crashes the whole Photoshop program.
This is the crash log (What Windows 7 gives):

P.S.
I tried to run Pixel Bender using ExtendScript.
It always crashes. There might be a connection to my previous problem?

Could anyone pinpoint what's the problem?
Never crashed on the IDE.

Glad to hear you found the ReadMe.
The previous limitation was not arbitrary as the decision was made based on experiments across various GPUs and operating systems. We had a bit more time this go-around to improve how we enforce the limit and so we did. There is still a 128MB limit on the image size. We attempted to remove this limit entirely, but just found too many problems with the graphics drivers across the various card/os combinations we support. The decision was a tradeoff between minimizing the posts we get complaining about the supported image size and minimizing the tech support calls we get complaining the plugin is crashing Photoshop (usually the result of a crash in the driver) or is painting garbage to the screen. The limit isn't perfect but it is an improvement over the previous limit. We will continue to work to expand this limit and hopefully we'll be able to remove it entirely at some point in the future. In the meantime, the two limits you need to consider are the 128MB limit on image size and the texture size limit of your graphics card. The plugin limits you to the texture size of your graphics card if that texture size limit is less than 128MB, otherwise the plugin limits you to 128MB. You can find out the texture size limit, as I pointed out in another thread, by using a tool such as "OpenGL Extensions Viewer."

Pixel Bender Application Error After Install

I just installed eLearning Suite 2 (CS5). All
programs appeared to have successfully installed,
but when I try to launch Pixel Bender from the start
menu, I get the following error and the software
does not open:
sniffer_gpu.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x69304c17" referenced memory
at "0x000000c4". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program

Would you please provide more information about your OS and graphics card. Did you install the latest graphics driver for your graphics card?

The Pixel Bender for PH CS5 download link doesn't work

There is a download link on
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html
for
Pixel Bender Plug-in for Photoshop CS5 with following adress:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/pixelbenderplugin/
but if you click on it you will be back to
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pixelbender.html

I'm looking into this (whether to remove the PixelBender dev page or add the CS5 plug-in to the Legacy Downloads section at the bottom of the page).
That said, PixelBender is more or less EOL (end of life) as it's not supported in CS6 and not planned for support in future versions:

Photoshop CS5 keeps closing when I try to open a photo

Ok...Photoshop launches just fine but as soon as I try to open a photo I get the message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Anyone else expereinced this?
thanks much!

More or less standard advice in this kind of case is:
1. Your display driver may be buggy.
Try disabling OpenGL drawing by choosing Edit - Preferences - Performance and unchecking [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing. Restart Photoshop.
If this helps, then chances are good that you need to update your display driver. Go to the web site of the maker of your display adapter (video card) and download and update their latest. EXCEPTION: If you have an ATI Radeon card, avoid ATI Catalyst 11.3 and 11.4 - use 11.2 instead.
2. You may have a corrupted font on your system.
If you have installed any fonts since the last time Photoshop worked, this is especially likely. The workaround for this is to move all non-original Windows fonts to another folder temporarily and see if the problem goes way.
3. Your preferences may have gotten corrupted.
Photoshop maintains a lot of preferences in files, and if any kind of system fault has resulted in nonsense values being written in those files, it may be driving Photoshop batty. The preferences can be returned to defaults by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt when first starting Photoshop from its menu or shortcut. If you're quick enough it will prompt you to delete your preferences.
4. Your document may be pointing to a non-existent printer or something's wrong with your default printer setup.
I've seen several folks have their problems here solved by tweaking the printer setup, though I don't recall exactly what any of them did.
Good luck.

My Photoshop Cs5 keeps closing ?

When I go on Cs5, go to file new and go to pick the size of the file it works fine. Then after it loads up the size the background of the file is grey and it just closes any help?

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
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.

I was trying to uninstall Photoshop Elements 9 and error 1606 keeps coming up.

i need to uninstall because im planning on getting photoshop cs5.

Disable your antivirus program temporarily, then try to install again.
Don't forget to turn it on again.

PLEASE make pixel bender plugin available to PS CS6

the integrated filter version does not work exactly as the pluging version for CS5 , and does not provide artistic conituity for the works.
Please make the installer available.. Thanks

Never mind - I just realized this information is available via ExifMeta (plugin) - I retract the request for personal purposes.
Still, it might be worth consideration for people who don't use ExifMeta.

After Effects CS5 Checkerboard Error (pixel bender)

I was just playing around with the pixel bender plugins inside CS5 and the pixel bender plugin checkerboard does not work. I receive an error message. Has anyone else been able to get it to work in AE? Just wondering if there is something wrong with my machine. Thanks.
Kevin Snyder

I've figured it out.
If you test like so, it works!
     dst.rgb = float3(0.0);
     if(mod(coordFloored.y, 50.0) < pixelSize(src).y)
            dst.rgb = float3(1.0);
        dst.a = 1.0;
