Can't open photoshop files in Illustrator

I have been running Adobe CS3 on my computer for 4 years now, and recently installed windows 7. Since then I get an error on my computer when I try to open photoshop that says:
"there is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\device\Harddisk1\DRI"
From there all I can do is press try again or cancel. Try again doesn't do anything, so I press cancel and then the program opens like normal.
The other problem I am having is I try to open a photoshop file in Illustrator or try to place a photoshop file in illustrator the program crashes and says:
"The application ran out of memory. Please close some windows to free memory."
I don't have any other windows or programs running, and I have a quad processor and 8g of memory. Shouldn't be crashing.
Does anyone have a solution for me please?
Thanks

"there is no disk in drive. Please insert a disk into drive\device\Harddisk1\DRI"
It's looking for a file somewhere on a drive that no longer exists. Trash the prefs, flush the MRU (Recent Files) lists.
and I have a quad processor and 8g of memory. Shouldn't be crashing.
AI is a 32bit app and never uses more than 2.something GB of memory, no matter how beefy your system may be. Anyway, such issues are usually quite specific, so it will be hard for anyone to advise. Some basic specs on what PSDs you are trying to import might help...

  • Can't open .wmf files with Illustrator

    I'm using Creative Suite CS2 on a PC/Windows XP operating system.
    I'm suddenly unable to launch Illustrator when I try to open a .wmf file from within Windows Explorer. Instead, I get an error message that the file itself is not a valid program (DUH!).
    I also cannot open them with the "Edit Original" command in InDesign.
    I have tried changing the "Opens With Program..." option in the file properties from within Windows Explorer over and over.
    Oddly, I can always open .wmf files with Illustrator from within Adobe Bridge, simply by double-clicking the file. And of course, I can open them from within Illustrator by simply going to "open file".
    But I really want to be able to use the "Edit Original" feature in InDesign to launch and open .wmf files in Illustrator.
    Anybody know what's going on? Is this a Windows problem, an Illustrator problem or an InDesign problem? And how do I fix it?
    Thanks so much for any suggestions.

    I'm sorry you're having this problem with Illustrator.  Would you mind reposting over on the Illustrator forums?  You've posted in the AIR forum and I think you'll have better luck over there.
    Thanks,

  • Can't open EPS files in Illustrator CS3 since installing CS6

    I'm on Windows 7, and need to be able to open .eps files with Illustrator CS3. Since installing CS6 yesterday I'm no longer able to associate EPS files with Illustrator CS3. When I right click an eps and go to "open with", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. When I "choose default program", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. If I "browse" and manually select the Illustrator CS3 executable, it still defaults to CS6. Using the same process with .ai files works fine, there is no issue. However these .eps files are not behaving like .ai files. If anyone could suggest a solution to my problem I would be very grateful.
    EDIT:
    Also, attempting to set the default program through the "set associations" control panel doesn't work, after selecting the Illustator CS3 executable it still shows up as CS6.

    Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
    1. Navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
    2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
    That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

  • Can't open a file in Illustrator CS

    Hi There,
    I've trawled through quite a few discussion boards before posting, but I'm stumped.
    I'm using Illustrator CS, the original version which has been great for over 4-5 years. Now I find that I cannot open a file in CS when using <open> from the menu bar.
    Usually we get the finder window to select the documents, but the programe quits even before it gets to this stage.
    I added an account and tried to open files in Illustrator but this problem happened again.
    I can double click an Ai file from the finder window...this launches Illustrator and opens the file ok. I also tried to create a new document which would not save at all.
    I have the crash report from Illustrator, just wondering if someone could have a look and see if they can work it out.
    Thanks So Much
    Kitty

  • Can you open Photoshop files in InDesign?

    Is it possible to open a file which is created by Indesign ?

    Hello.
    I'm not at my CS6 suite right now. But I would guess PS could not open an ID file  in an editable way. You can try saving your ID project out as a PDF, then Photoshop should be able to open it rasterized (if multi-page, each page would become a separate PS document.) But vector and text would be rendered as pixels.

  • How can I open photoshop files from 1995 with no file extensions?

    These files are on CD and are definitely Photoshop 2 or 2.5 or 3. When I put the CD in my Mac is showing them as Unix Executable Files.
    I'm currently using Photoshop CS3 on Mac 10.5.8.
    I've tried adding extensions such as tif, psd, jpg etc but photoshop refuses to recognise them as photoshop files.

    Yes, you should be able to open them.
    Most likely you've forgotten what the file type was  (PICT maybe?).
    If you have a hex editor, you could open the file and look at the first 8 bytes or so and figure out what the file type is.

  • I can not open any files in Illustrator CC 2014 without it crashing.

    Any help is appreciated. I am having trouble at home with my personal Illustrator CC 2014 program. It will open and as soon as I attempt to open an existing file or create a new one it immediately crashes. I am on a PC running windows 7 with all updates for my OS and CC as far as I can tell. Can anyone help me?

    BroWu,
    You may try those relevant things on the list (5) is not) that you have not been through (yet).
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Illustrator CS2 can't open new file with network printer installed

    It seems that with my network printer set up I can't do much with Illustrator, I can't open new files and I can't print without opening up the printer setup menu in Windows.
    Photoshop CS btw, I can't open it at all.
    I take the network printer offline and everything is fine, except then I don't have a printer.
    Windows XP SP2
    Illustrator CS2 12.0.1
    Any fix for this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Creating a Dummy Generic printer fixed the issues of opening a new file in Illustrator and being able to open PS at all.
    However Illustrator is still taking several minutes to print something as simple as a test circle.
    The menu I was referring to is Printers & Faxes under control panel, though I realized later that may not have had anything to do with it. It may have simply been coincidental timing. I opened the P&F window about 10 minutes after hitting print and just after opening P&F the print window popped up. It simply may have been taking 10 minutes for the print window to open.
    With the network printer set up as the default printer if I try to open Photoshop a window opens but just stays a grey blank screen, no credits box, nothing. Then if after a few minutes I hit ctrl+alt+del it says Photoshop not responding.
    What I was doing to take the printer offline was to completely delete the network printer from Printers & Faxes.
    I'll see if they have an updated set of drivers, but I think I have the latest ones, as I updated them a month or so ago.
    Thanks,
    David

  • How to open Photoshop files as layers in an open Illustrator file?

    Hi there,
    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but right now I'm working with both Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 on a mac. I'm creating a graphic. The background is a (cartoonish) mouth and I finished it a couple of days ago. (It's an Illustrator file.) I've been working on the letters to go inside of the mouth, (Once I'm finished it'll look as though they're being crushed.) I scanned and edited small wooden letters in Photoshop, and now I would like to work with them with the background in Illustrator. I understand how to open a Photoshop file in Illustrator, but I don't want to open the document as a separate Illustrator file. Is there a way to open a file from Photoshop as a second layer?
    Some of the letters repeat as well. Will I have to create two files for this, or can I open the same file twice?
    Thanks! VA

    Simply copy&paste the stuff to the worjking document. You are over-thinking this.

  • Can't open CR2 files in photoshop and camera raw

    This weekend I rented a Canon 5D Mark iii. I have downloaded the files and all of the thumbnails in camera raw say CR2 and when I try to open Photoshop does not recognize this product.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS4
    Camera Raw CS4
    Canon 5D Mark ii
    I have checked my updates folder and all my updates are current. Do I need to upgrade to CS5 or is there a way around this?

    Hi I recently had a problem opening CR2 files in PHotoshop cs4. I had to reinstall into a new computer, so obviously it installed the basic programme and not the updates.
    After trying everything, even calling the help desk, there was apparently nothing that can be donw as they no longer support cs4.
    I kept trying and found a you tube video, which i cant find again to add the link but i followed the link and with what I did earlier I can now open CR2 files in my photoshop cs4
    I found the relevany update that I needed to install and downloaded it, camera raw 5.2 ( Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 5.2 update )  this is the one for the Canon 5d Mk2
    After downloading it would not update the progeramme so I was in the same possition, but i noticed the files were there and i just needed to put them in the right place in photoshop so carried on looking for were to put the Plus In.
    This led me to the video.
    To the point.
    Download the update and save to a location where you will remember.
    open Adobe photoshop and go to "edit"
    Them " Preferences "
    then "General "
    Then " Plus-Ins"
    At the top you will see " Add Plug-Ins Folder " Check this box then navigate to the "win64" ( this is because mine is a windows 64 bit computer and the download is specific ) and Choose it.
    Shut down photo shop and try to open a raw.
    Bridge doesnt work for some reason but im going to keep looking.
    Hope this works for you as well.

  • Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2?

    Can I open psd file made in photoshop cs3 with photoshop ps2? Thanks in advance!

    Actually you can open a CS3 file with smart filters in CS2
    the only problem is CS2 will not understand the Smart filter and flatten it.
    If you leave the smart filtered object alone in CS2 save the file and it should still be a smart filtered object in CS3

  • Can I open a file in photoshop

    I have ripped a file at my Barco station. I produced a .ct file that I want to convert to black and white in phtoshop. Can I open this file (31226A_PS08_397678_R2_S1_pdf_001_001.ct) in photoshop or do I need some sort of plugin for phtoshop before I can open it. It is a Unix Executable File

    It is possible and I found a plugin online for photoshop that made it possible. THe plugin worked great and I am now opening the Unix executable files. If you're interested in knowing the plugin reply to this message and I will send it to you.
