Adobe Photoshop CS3 had encountered a problem V10.0.0.0

Photoshop V10.0.0 will not open. It crashes as its loading the Twain drivers at start up. I am running Windows XP.
I've tried deleting the preferences file, reloading Photoshop and, as a desperate measure, deleting and reloading CS3. Nothing has worked. I tried upgrading photoshop but still no luck. Set my default printer to PDF, still nothing. Disabled my firewall, still nothing.....
The worst bit is its been working quite happily since June 07 and then in late Nov early Dec it decided not to work. I also had a printer problem during this time and reinstalled the printer software, but photoshop wasn't working before I did that.
The error I get is:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close
Error signature App Name: photoshop.exe
AppVer 10.0.0.0
ModName: unknown
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.4
Any assistance would be great - I am getting desperate!
Regards
Sally

When I uninstalled my Dell 944 printer Photoshop worked. When I reloaded my printer it crashed again. It seems to crash everytime it loads the TWAIN part of the photoshop opening screen.
I've tried downloading and installing the latest driver from Dell for the printer but its 2005 and the same as the one I have so no luck there.
I still need my printer to work (its my scanner as well) but I am desperate to get Photoshop back! Any clues??

Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem...

Well, I've spent 2 days trying to fix this issue on my own, it's time for me to reach out and find out if anyone out there can help me! I can open a Photoshop image fine, but when I try to open a 2nd image (which I almost always do), I get an error message that says Adobe Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and has to shut down. This is disastrous, I can't do my work! I have Windows XP, and last week a technician loaded Microsoft Expression Web 3 on my computer... as far as I know, that's the only thing that has changed. Photoshop worked fine last week, but it was probably before Expression Web was installed. He also has to install Framework.net, he said when he tried to install Expression Web, he got a message saying he needed to install Framework.net first... I have no idea what version of that I have, don't even know what it is. I didn't look over his shoulder as he was installing... he did say that Expression specified an older version of Framework.net, but I don't remember what version.
I'm concerned that maybe what he installed caused some kind of incompatibility, I know that I'm a couple of versions behind with CS3. If that's the case, I have to beg and plead my management for an upgrade, but I have to research this first. Can anyone help me?

How are you opening the second file? Using the File-Open dialog?
I ask because Microsoft Expression Web is supposed to deliver a codec that understands how to make thumbnails for .psd files, and since an Explorer-like window is involved with File-Open, I put two and two together and it seems that the codec might not be playing well with Adobe's File-Open dialog.
It's been a long, long while but I have a distant memory that there's a way to have Photoshop use an alternate File-Open dialog, or at least there once was... I think it was a button at the lower left of the File-Open dialog. Try changing that.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
"It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
Tony

Tony,
Here's something you might try:
Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
Let us know how you make out.

Photoshop CS3 has encounted a problem

I installed CS3 under my Administrator username. If I start PS CS3 extended under a different username login, the program starts OK, but will not open any files except camera raw files. The program displays the message "Photoshop CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to shut down...". Even if I save a camera raw image into a psd file when logged in under the different username, I cannot open that file when logged in under the different username.
My question is: Is this normal behavior?
My systems is:
Dell M6300, XP Pro SP3, 3GB ram, 72.3GB free disk space, PhotoShop CS3 extended Version 10.0.1

Well, but are your user priviliges set correctly? If you add users post-creation of a folder/ file, they will never inherit any info about that user, thus operating on such directories does fail. The only exception is, when you log on the first time on a freshly created user account, but even then it will only affect user directories and standard system directories. Also remember that to actually do some work you have at least to be a Power User or otherwise you may not have permission to read and write any files, regardless of their location.

Adobe Photoshop CS2 has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Just starting to get this error on open in CS2 after a few months of smooth sailing on a new system (below). CS2 now cannot open. It started occasionally and increased. Tried reinstalling. Tried deleting the PS config files and same error. Any suggestions?

Just ran memtest and received no errors. This more or less clears the hardware. I have no idea how to proceed. Does adobe offer any direct support for this sort of problem?

Adobe photoshop cs5 has encountered a problem and needs to close. we are sorry for the inconvenience

I tryed unstalling it and then restall it and i tryed ccleaner to clean the register and nothing is working and i had it working but when i closed it and updated my computer for updates it did not work again this is annoying cause i got the free trail version so please anyone help me out

Open you Event Log and see what the defaulting module is. It could be PS, drivers, conflicting program, corrupted load of program, or any number of things.

"Adobe Photoshop CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close."

I get this error everytime I try to launch Photshop CS5. The startup screen appears but it stops at "Starting Plugins... Scripting support", then it gives that message^(along with don't send and send error report, of course).
Specs:

Alright, hopefully someone can help with this.
Thanks.

Reinstalled everything and it still gives the same error.
Edit: I used the akami download manager, does that have anything to do with it? Would manually installing it be better?

Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem...

I have searched the interent for hours trying to resolve this issue.
Everytime I open up DW, i get the error message:
"Adobe DW CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to close."
When i click "send error report" or "Dont send," DW closes.
If I just leave that alone, i can work in DW.
The problem is its also doing it for Adobe Acrobat 8.0.
I am operating on XP.
I have tried to go in and unistall the entire Adobe Creative Suite. I click on "remove" and nothing happens.
I am really frustrated with this. Any help is appreciated.

Does CuteFTP work on it's own when DW is closed?
I too, use CuteFTP in conjunction with DW and have for many years and have never had such a problem.
Are you doing anything specific in Cute FTP when DW crashes?

CS3 has encountered a problem

Here is a page:
http://www.eclipsme.com/fellsmerecra/test.php
When I open it in DW CS3 and click into it in design view, I
get this:
Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 has encountered a problem and needs to
close. We
are sorry for the inconvenience.
Here is the identical page, but with the ext. changed to html
(there is
no php code in the page yet, though there will be:
http://www.eclipsme.com/fellsmerecra/test.html
This page can be edited in DW CS3.
What gives? The code validates. The only thing different is
the extension!
Thanks for looking,

Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

I recently purchased a new desktop computer and installed Adobe CS3 Master Edition on it and I get the following error:
Adobe Photoshop CS3 has stopped working: A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Out of the entire suite of tools only Photoshop will not launch. The weird thing is i also had the same Adobe programs installed on my laptop and I have not made any installation updates to that machine and i am getting the same error. I have always installed the same software on my two home machines with no problem until now. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

You'll probably going to have to uninstall, then re-install the application; but you need to provide a lot more information;
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an erro

When installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows Vista I get this error "Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739" I have used the cleanup script included in Adobe Photoshop CS3 installer, and have removed all traces of Adobe apps including the beta versions and Acrobat 8 pro, and I still get the same error, how can I install this application? is there any way or do I have to reformat and reinstall windows?

Hello everyone,
I was having the same issue:
"Setup Error. Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Quit."
If you receive this error also, press Quit and follow these steps:
1. Start
2. Control Panel
3. Administrative tools (in classical view)
4. Event Viewer
5. Application
You will see something like this:
Double-Click for error (emphasized by red color). I have an error like this:
"Error 1327.Invalid Drive: E:\" if you have the same or e.g. Drive F:\ ir whatever letter, you should solve this problem extremely easy - just insert USB-flash into computer (it will launch as E\ or whatever disk) and than run installation again. It will work than.
Setup doesnt start if disk is offline.

"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3"

Hello,
I installed Photoshop CS3 Trial and whenever I run it and choose to begin my trial period I get the following error message:
"Problem with Trial - problem loading trial period for Adobe Photoshop CS3".
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and even ran the Adobe CS3Clean Script but nothing seems to help.
I should note I never installed any earlier version of Photoshop on my system (I use a fresh copy of Windows XP with only a few programs installed).
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
David

Adobe Photoshop CS3 - Problem with Trial

I recently downloaded and installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 directly from Adobe as it is the latest version my Mac supports. Upon start up, I am greeted with two options: a) I have a serial number for this product. and b) I want to try Adobe Photoshop CS3 free for 30 days. Seeing how I am simply looking to evaluate and have not purchased said product, I selected option b.
However, upon clicking "Next >" I am greeted by an error. "Problem with Trial" I am left with nothing but wasted time. This is the first time I have ever installed Adobe Photoshop CS3 so I do not understand why it will only allow access with a serial number. Any help to allow me to try this software is appreciated.
Thanks.

Could the trial have a time bomb in it that prevents use after several years? There's not much of a need for Adobe to allow trials to run for so long after the product's life cycle has concluded.
