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.
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

for a few weeks i have not been able to access the itunes store from the itunes on my laptop. every time i click on it it tells me it cannot access the store...not sure why. and says this: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
I had this exact same problem. I found this fix and it worked for me.
Step 1:
Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll.
Step 2:
Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
Hope this helps you. I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
Good Luck.

Error when opening iTunes : iTunes has stopped working '' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly''.
When I repaired damaged files the problem still exists and also after uninstalling, redownloading and reinstalling iTunes.
My pc is working with windos 8.
Is there a solution?Hey there Rodney274,
It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

When trying to login to iTunes I receive a message iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop and iTunes automatically closes.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I have deleted the program and re installed numours times, also ran a full essential scan, spybot and malware byte scans with no results. Any ideas?
Nobody has had or has this problem? I have gone back and forth with itunes "help" people for 2 weeks with no "help" at all. I guess I am going to have to buy a non apple devise and shop @ amazon for my music.

I tried re installing it but it crashes again I use CS6 version , but I have no Idea What causes it
First use CS6 menu Help>About Photoshop to check your version. The Latest perpetual versions are Mac version 13.0.6, Windows version 13.0.1.3 and the subscription version is 13.1.2. If you do no see one of these versions you need to use menu Help>Updates. If that does not update you to one of those version you may need to re-install CS6 on top of of your current install and use menu Help>Updates. CS6 is the buggiest version of Photoshop ever releases. You need the updates without the updates CS6 is very unstable.
If your CS6 is up to date use your Windows Acclivity Center Reliability History to locate your CS6 critical stopped working events and look at their details to see where CS6 is crashing. This may shed some light on your problem. CS6 use you Display adapters GPU for some features. If you have more then one GPU or you don't have the latest displaye adapter system device driver from its manufacturer installed CS6 may crash.
The following Shows Problems I have with Photoshop CC. The module IMSLib.dll will crash if I try to use Behance or Adobe exchange. It may have something to to with Flash panels which was removed in CC 2014. For Behance works in CC 2014 and Adobe exchange was removed in CC 2014. View in new browser tab or window for this site scale images poorly. In a tab or window you can scale image to their actual size, -
I have no Idea what is happening
Hi Blitz Jager,
You can go ahead and take the screenshot of error after clicking on the details of the error you are getting.
When the error message comes click on more details take the screen and attach so that we can look into this.

I have run the "fix", I have removed and reinstalled, but my iTunes just stops about 1-2 minutes in and the "ITunes has stopped working" window appears. Any help as to a fix? Are there any other music programs out there that will burn discs if I can't fix this? Thanks....
Hey deaconfan,

Help?
This may occur if you are connected to the Internet and iTunes is trying to connect to the iTunes Store and fails for some unknown reason.
Try this:
Quit iTunes and disconnect completely from the Internet.
IF you have an iPhone (iPod etc), open iTunes. Sync the device.
Re-enable your Internet connection.
Quit iTunes.
Open iTunes again.
If this does not work, try completely uninstalling iTunes, then reinstall it according to these instructions:

Photoshop CC 2014, A problem caused the program to stop working
When opening Photoshop CC 2014, I get "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly". Works fine on my home computer but the new one in the office has the error message. I have the latest cloud version of the program. I've updated the AMD/ATI display driver- first from the HP site supporting the Win 7 Pro laptop I'm working on(driver ver.13.2) and then from the AMD site (ver.14.1) I've installed all windows updates. Still get the same message followed by Photoshop closing itself out.
Has windows ever notified anyone of a solutionI think once Windows notified me of a solution (which was to update my video card driver). Most of the time you don't get a direct response, but submitting the report does give the engineers something to work with in order to try to find out what is causing the problem.
Anyway, there are about a million different things that can cause any application to return this generic error message. While you've already covered a couple of the possible solutions, there is still a ton of stuff to try. Since Photoshop is working on one computer but not the other, and knowing that Photoshop is exactly the same between both computers (assuming you are using the same version), then the question really becomes "what is different between the two computers?" Basically, shy of knowing that, we have a ton of general troubleshooting steps to give a shot at:
