Cannot Open Photoshop CS3

I recently got a new computer. We uninstalled CS3 on the old one, installed it on the new one. All systems were a go until earlier this week. I can no longer open Photoshop. It gives me 'Photoshop has stopped working' error message as it gets to the 'Building Twain Menus' portion as it opens. We have un-installed PSD, installed it again, nothing. We just un-installed the entire Creative Suite and still nothing. We've tried the graphics suggestion as we are running on Windows 7 and I actually got an error message after going through the driver update. Am I missing something? Is there anything else I should be/could be doing to get PSD to run again? I have used these forums before and I would like to ask that whom ever responds, gives me step-by-step instruction if possible. I'm tech savy, but need to have step-by-step instructions. I appreciate any information. My business depends on me using Photoshop.

I have looked in my programs/features folder in the Control Panel and I do not see a TWAIN listed there. Should I be looking somewhere else? I did a search using *.TWAIN and nothing has come up. Perplexed...The printer we have is not connected to my computer, my husband can't figure out how to get it to work on my laptop wireless yet.

  • Opening Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2 (Mac Tiger 10.411)

    Is it possible to open Photoshop CS3 psd files in Photoshop CS2? After I created them in Photoshop CS3 I reset the preferences to maximize compatibility "always", then I resaved all the psd files. Do you think this will work? I have to open them in CS2 tomorrow at work...

    Also, some old features may have changed in the new version. Specifically, I had some CS3 files from a client that had smart objects that did not open correctly in CS2.
    As I recall, CS2 was able to open a flattened version of the file, just not fully layered with smart objects.
    I actually had CS3 on my laptop, just not on the tower I wanted to work on, so I opened the files on the laptop, rasterized the smart objects, and saved. After this, CS2 opened the files with layers.

    You cannot run Photoshop CS on a new Intel-based Mac running OS X Mavericks. CS is far too old.
    You'll have to buy Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop Elements 12. Or subscribe to CC.

  • HELP!! When I open Photoshop CS3 it states "Could not initialize Photoshop because you do not have the necessary access privileges".

    When I open Photoshop CS3 it states "Could not initialize Photoshop because you do not have the necessary access privileges".
    Also, InDesign crashes when trying to open it.
    I am running OS X 10.6.8
    The most recent task I did was a Mac OS snow leopard software update. 
    I created a new user account and both Photoshop and InDesign work perfectly when logged into that account, but the problem is persisting with my old account.
    I tried, but didn't receive much help from Adobe.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I see. Well, if it works on a new account, then I guess that' good enough. You might still wanan try and fix your permissions on zthe otehr account, though. It may just require digging into the terminal and commandline operations to recursively apply this stuff to all folders and sub-folders...

  • Scratch disk full and cannot open photoshop to fix it...

    I cannot open photoshop because it says the scratch disk is full. I have been using photoshop (cs5) for 10 years and never had this problem. I recently installed cs5 on my Windows 7 computer and it worked for a few weeks, then this problem arose. I cannot afford a new version at this time but would like to use cs5 on this computer and I know it can work because it did for several weeks but now it won't and I can't follow the typical steps to remedy this situation because I cannot open photoshop. Please help!

    Hi there,
    The tips outlined below came from this site.
    First, if you can open Photoshop, check to see what hard drive is set up as your Photoshop scratch disk. To do this, go to Photoshop > Preferences > Performance. Then look under Scratch Disks to see which one you are using and how much free space it has. (FYI—I've included these steps for future visitors to this thread.)
    Option 1: Delete some files
    If your scratch disk is very full (or the free space is low), try deleting some unwanted files from the drive (for me, "Macintosh HD" as seen in the image above) to make room for new ones.
    Option 2: Delete temp files
    Search your computer for temporary files. These files are typically named ~PST####.tmp on Windows and Temp#### on Macintosh, where #### is a series of numbers. These are safe to delete.
    Option 3: Defragment your Hard Disk
    Instructions for Windows
    Instructions for Mac
    I hope one of these methods works for you!

    Have you updated your iTunes on your computer? WIth a device running iOS7, you need iTunes 11.
    When you removed iTUnes, did you see something named 'apple mobile device support' or something like it? (The exact name varies from operating system to operating system). If you see that, uninstall it too. That's the drivers for your iPhone and they should self-install when you plug your device in.
    If all that is fine, have you checked your cable and USB port? a malfunctioning cable can keep you from syncing.

  • Cannot open photoshop after uploading upgrade

    I am running Windows7 Home Edition 32bit and after unsuccessfully uploading the latest Photoshop CC upgrade I cannot open photoshop and am getting the following error message.
    The procedure entry point ?setScale@?$MultiScalePixelAccessBase@U$pixel@GU?$layout@U?$vector3@Ured_t@gil@boost@@Ugre en_t@23@Ublue_t@23@@mpl@boost@@U?£$range_c@H$0A@$02@23@@gil@boost@@@gil@boost@@@PM@@UAEXH@ Z could not be located in the dynamic link library PatchMatch.dll.
    How do I solve this problem.

    Sounds like you have a bad install - some of the libraries are damaged or the wrong version.
    Reinstalling may be your only hope.

  • Cannot open a CS3 file

    Hi,
    I'm having an unusual problem. I've sent InD CS3 packaged files to various printers, who then have a problem opening in InDesign file. The error message received is:
    "Cannot open the file "xxx". Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application"
    The strange thing is that my boss, who has the same operating system (OS 10.5), can open the files just fine.
    In some cases, the printers have removed the file extension (.indd) and have been able to open the file. But in other cases that fix doesn't seem to be working.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Melissa

    Sounds like they're trying to open the file directly from a CD or other
    write protected disk. If that's the case, tell them to copy the file to
    the harddrive.

  • I cannot open photoshop due to file damaged by disc error

    I cannot open CS5 due to this message "could not initialize photoshop because the file has been damaged due to disc error

    JJ,
        I tried everything you mentioned but to no avail, still getting the same response "could not initialize photoshop because the file has been damaged by
    disc error. I did run the Chkdsk and it didn't help, I still can't open CS5, not even to check updates....

  • Cannot open photoshop

    Hi, I am using my Mac Pro with photoshop.
    My trial of Photoshop CS6 Extended had ran out,
    so I buy Creative Cloud today and want to change for it.
    However, after I bought CC online,
    I try to open my photoshop,
    but it still shows that my trial is over and need buy one.
    At that moment I had bought CC which means, I think, I can use my photoshop now,
    but sadly, I cannot use it cause everytime I open it, it shows that my trial is over.
    Then I go to Adobe Application Manager and check,
    in AAM, it shows that my version of photoshop is the newest one,
    but (damn it!) I still cannot open my photoshop!!
    So I try to unistall every apps related to Adobe and re-download the Adobe Application Manager online,
    however, after I download it, it still shows that my photoshop is the newest version, 
    but the fact is I've unistalled my photoshop so I don't have it in my Mac Pro now!!!
    I need to use Photoshop a week later, what should I do?
    I have bought Creative Cloud online so surely I've the right to use the product included in!!!
    It is really annoyed!!!

    Hi water2217,
    If you have purchased the Creative Cloud you all the rights to use the produts . To get your trial activated , i would request you to simply launch the product and click on License this software button when the trial window pops up. Once you have done that , please sign in with the correct Adobe id and the password and that should do it for you .
    Let us know if this works fine for you or not.
