Could not complete your request because of a program error" message when opening program

Hello,
Same here with the message and I'm on a brand new system:
new macpro, new mavericks, new photoshop CC and havent done a thing yet.
Tried all found solutions:
-generator on/off
-sniffer on/off
-GPU on/off
-300x exit prefs etc
-re-install PS
-list-view
-pushing my belly button
But nothing helps.
I tried a little work in PS (render/save etc) and that all seems to work
BUT....sniffer states:
2014-02-07 16:23:50.885 sniffer[522:303] invalid display
ContextOffscreen exception caught and ignored.
2014-02-07 16:23:50.886 sniffer[522:303] invalid display
ContextOffscreen exception caught and ignored.
And dont know what to do about it and/or if that causes it. Thank you. & regards

I was able to follow your directions and delete almost everything. I couldn't find a PSE 4 path folder. I deleted the com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist and opera preferences. Repaired permissions and restarted computer.
Still had the same error message when trying to "Save As" a PSD to a jpg. I can save for the Web which is a jpg (but not good enough for printing.)
Maybe I'll reinstall.
I'm not having trouble with any other programs. Can't recall having added anything to PSE recently, though if this is the culprit, it might be something I did months ago (though I don't know what) because I haven't tried saving as a jpg in a long time.
I've been saving my documents as a tiff file. Could that be a cause? I've converted some of these tiff files to PSD and still get the error message.

    Working on a very large .PSB file, approx 3.5G... Recently tried to open and I got an message that said: "Could not Complete your request because of a disk error"... I am in panic mode. I am 20 hours in and a deadline at the end of the week. Help!

    The error means what it says - your disk had an error.
    You should probably make sure that you have a backup, and a spare disk.

  • Indesign CS5.5 "could not complete your request because of a database error"

    Hi guys. Have a huge problem. Just finished my indesign 20 page document for uni. I have gone back to open this file so that i can print it. I saved it as an IDML as the place im printing it has an older version of indesign to me. When i opened it on my computer however to check over it a dialouge box saying "could not complete your request because of a database error" Ahhh Ive tried opening it in acrobat, placing the file in indesign but none of this works!! Your help would be appreciated!!  Would it possibly work if i opened it on another computer?
    Thanks in advance

    Both the original .indd file and the .idml file will not open? It sounds like you are totally out of luck then, and starting over is the way to go .
    There's also the Markzware recovery service -- not gauaranteed to work for every file (but no charge if it doesn't) which is not cheap, but probably less expensive than starting over on a long project that will take several days to complete. Last lnk I have is http://markzware.com/support/faq/recover-bad-file-service/

    Sounds like the IDML file is corrupt. You will need to regenerate the file in InDesign. As this has nothing to do with Acrobat, I'd suggest you repost in the InDesign forum.

  • I'm receiving this "Could not complete your request because of a disk error." message.

    I just purchased a brand new iMac (Yosemite 10.10 / 32gb of ram / 3tb hd) and installed PS6 on it. I then updated ACR to 8.7.1 so I could view 5d mark III files in Bridge. I also then installed VSCO Film 06 for ACR and as soon as I went into PS after that I received this error. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling PS. As soon as I reinstalled it, I tried opening a raw file and it crashes PS. I can open up a jpeg file no problem. Any ideas?

  • Hello photo work stopped it said could not complete your request because to many files were selected for opening at once

    photo work stopped it said to many files were selected for opening at once

    And you don’t think it might be worth mentioning how many files are actually selected when this happens?

    After Installation of Photoshop 7.0.1 on the first look everyting was fine.
    But after some time i tryed to use the selection tool and after that the paint bucket.
    This worked one or two times then Photoshop stopped with the screen:

    I tryed tu use the compatibility mode for XP SP3 and XP SP2.
    The same error appears.

    Then i tried to work from there.

  • Error:  "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

    Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
    I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
    Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

  • I keep getting a message saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I keep getting a message saying ( Could not complete your request because of a program error??
    Does anyone know what this means or how to fix?

    blucoast,
    Can you please be more detailed? When are you getting this - what is causing it? Any specific tool or while starting Photoshop itself?
    Do you see an error number or error code or a report? Can you post that here?

  • Effects not working? "Could not complete your request because of a program error?"

    Hey guys&gals - I have always had this problem when working in RGB/CYMK modes - can anyone help me with that?
    More more importantly, now I am getting in in Grayscale mode as of this morning.
    I run Photoshop 6 V 13.1.2 x64 and just updated it this AM.
    Effects are crucial for my job, so I need this fixed asap!!
    I have tried the ctrl, alt, shift start up to no avail. Restarted, shutdown my PC as well.
    Please advise!
    Thanks,
    blaqgranitelaser

    Found the places I was supposed to - now what? Photoshop isn't crashing... doesn't give me any info other than a box saying "Could not complete your request because of a program error." And I have no choice but to click OK. This only happens when I try to use the layer effects in any color mode. Originally it was only in RGB/CMYK but now also happens in Grayscale.
    I'm not technologically savvy - I know what programs I use, but that is all.

  • Can't open file: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I have a Photoshop file that suddenly won't open.  Last week I upgraded to CS5--the file had been created in CS3 prior to that.  When I try to open it, I receive this error message (in CS5): "Could not complete your request because of a program error."  I tried to open the same file in CS3; there, the file opens, but as soon as I try to do anything I get the same error message....which, annoyingly, re-appears the second I click "OK," so the only thing I can do in CS3 is force-quit.
    I've used Time Machine to retrieve versions of the file that were saved four days ago, seven days, and several weeks ago, and I get the same message every time.  Even on versions that were last saved with CS3 (before I installed CS5).
    Naturally, this is one of the most important files in my life right now....it's a 300 MB file that contains hundreds of layers and dozens of comps.  So the fact that I suddenly can't open it, after shelling out $1200 to upgrade to the latest and greatest Adobe has to offer, is, to say the least, distressing.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    TheWocky

    First thing I would do is investigate hard drive issues and the health of the OS.

  • Cannot open files ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error

    I can inly open 3 files and then I get this error message ~ Could not complete your request because of a program error
    Please help, I am in the middle or a project ...
    Thank you,

    There is likely a font on that system that's corrupted or for some reason Photoshop just can't deal with.  Fonts are complex things, and it's well known that bad fonts can crash applications.
    Ferreting out such a font is normally a matter of removing all but the default fonts, seeing that the problem is corrected, then adding the fonts back in systematically until the offender is isolated.  Yes, this can be tedious.
    If it's not a font problem, there's a possibility it's a display driver problem.  To help diagnose that, go into Edit - Preferences - Performance, disable OpenGL Drawing, then restart Photoshop.  If the problem goes away, you'll want to check the web site of the maker of the video card for driver updates.  Don't forget to re-enable OpenGL Drawing again after updating the driver.
    Good luck.

  • What causes "Could not complete your request because of a program error"?
