Cannot Open Photoshop CS5

I have been talking to PS Tech.Serv. for a week and they have no solution. I installed PS CS5. When I try to open Photoshop or Bridge I get a message, "This application failed to initialize properly (0xc000001d). Click on OK to terminate the application. I have Windows XP. HELP!

Thank you for offering the fine advice. Unfortunately that is not the answer
for this problem. I thought I was all alone until with this problem until I
got a lead from David Herman to check out this link:

It appears that it's all in the old processor. I've been talking to my
computer geek and decided to do what I've been thinking about for the past
year. A separate computery dedicated to Photoshop CS5 and all the plug-ins
that I want.
My present computer will keep the CS3 and Autocad that I use along with
a`tie in to that great big dangerous world of the internet. My new computer
shall be the alter to the great god Adobe.
My only question right now is, "Why does Adobe Tech. Service in India still
not know what I'm talking about if this problem has been going on for weeks
and weeks?" After three phone conversations with them, lasting at least
an`hour or more, they have never responded back as they promised to do.

Cannot open Photoshop CS5.1

Hi. I have a Mac running OS X version10.7.5. I have Photoshop Elements 8 and 9 installed. They work fine. I also have Photoshop CS5.1 installed. It worked fine for a number of months until yesterday. Now, it will not open. I re-installed from the disk, and went throught the whole process, and it said "Done". However when I double-click the icon I get the spinning color wheel for a second or two, and the icon blinks, but nothing opens. I restarted my machine, but that didn't solve anything - I got the same result. I sure would appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks.

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.

"Invalid license number cannot open photoshop cs5" popped up after I installed the program. I can't open it

I Just bought Photoshop cs5 extened. I put in correct serial number but the message keep popping up as "invalid number" after it said installed successfully. I can not open the program. WHY!!!!, @

If you just bought the software, which Adobe no longer sells, it might be a problem with whoever sold it to you.

Cannot open Photoshop CS5 with Yosemite

I was so upset when I couldn't open Photoshop. I then saw that I needed to upgrade to Legacy Java SE 6- I can't find it ANYWHERE. I upgraded to the latest Java from the Apple site, and it STILL won't allow Photoshop to open.
Then IO read that someone said to re-install Photoshop - which I did. It STILL does not open.
I am infuriated that Apple would let this upgrade to Yosemite go through without checking that Photoshop would work with the new OS. I am so angry- I am losing business every day that I can't open photoshop!
If anyone has an answer to this problem, I will be forever in your debt.

No, but it shows you the problem is on your side if it is working fine for others. It is not Apple's fault. Adobe had access to all beta releases of Yosemite to get their compatibility right, which, as far as I can see, they did. Perhaps you have other third part anti-virus or security or cleanup programs installed that are notorious for conflicting with a healthy Mac. You can try posting an etrecheck report for analysis as many others have done and solved their issues.

I cannot open Photoshop CS5 on my PC because a file is locked. How do I fix this please?

I would appreciate some help please. I have uninstalled and then re-installed the program, but I get the same message.

Please clarify and specify:
What file? A program file or an image file? What error message are you getting?
What platform, Mac or Win? What exact version of CS5 (e.g. CS5 12.1)? Has it worked before and now you have a new issue? Or has it always been like this?
Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:

You installed MacOS 10.10, didn't you?
Reinstall Photoshop CS5 to replace the files damaged by the MacOS 10.10 installer.

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!

Why does Bridge CC try to open Photoshop CS5

Double clicking on a RAW file in Bridge CC returns an error message saying that Photoshop CS5 could not be found.
I had both CS6 and CC installed. Double clicking on a RAW file in Bridge CS6 opened Photoshop CS6 (expected). Double clicking on a RAW file in Bridge CC opened Photoshop CC (expected).
I uninstalled everything related to CS6.
Now, double clicking on a RAW file in Bridge CC tries to opened Photoshop CS5!
How do I fix this? How do I get Bridge CC to open raw files in Photoshop CC?
Thanks.

Official answer from Adobe Support: manually map all file types to the desired version of Photoshop. The process is:
1. Go to: Bridge CC Edit | Preferences | File Type Associations
2. Find file type mapped to "photoshop"
3. Right click on the "photoshop" text | Browse
4. Browse to the desired version of Photoshop | select it | Open
Repeat steps 2-4 for all instances of file types mapped to "photoshop." Hint: you can just double click on the desired version of Photoshop in step 4.

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.

Today after a long time I tired to open photoshop CS5.1 on my mac, however it has vanished?

Today after a long time I tired to open photoshop CS5.1 on my mac, however it has vanished and I am unable to find it anywhere on my system. I have recently done an update to my system so am unsure if this has affected it in anyway but the only thing I am able to find in Adobe Utilities is an uninstall option? I have tried reopening old saved psd files but these only open up preview. The photoshop I owned was a student version so am unsure if this has something to do with it going away ? Is there a way to get it to come back at all with out having to buy it again?

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall.

Open Photoshop CS5 and CS6

I can't open Photoshop CS5 and CS6 versions simultaneously. When I launch CS6, and then CS5, it takes me to CS6, and vice versa.
Is it possible to keep open the two versions? With Indesign I can do it.

As far as I know that is normal behavior: only one instance of Photoshop at a time. Forum members have reported running two versions of Photoshop simultaneously using virtual machines on their computer (which emulate separate computers).

Issues opening Photoshop CS5 Design Premium

When we try opening Photoshop CS5 we get this popup above and it does not allow us to open Photoshop. Photoshop was working fine for several months before this and we did not do any major updates to our system. I have tried uninstalling and reinstallng CS5, and we still get this message. We are running Windows XP Professional on all of our machines. Any help would be great.

Crashes are often associated with driver problems.
Is it possible Windows Update or something caused a new display driver to be installed?
It's usually best to visit the web site of the maker of your display adapter (video card), and download/install their latest for your particular model.
Other things that can send Photoshop "off the deep end" are bad 3rd party plug-ins, or even corrupted or badly crafted fonts. Have you installed any of these since it worked?
