CS2 Stopped working on Windows 7
Several months ago I tried installing CS2 on Windows 7. After many failed attempts and with lots of help from this forum, I finally got Photoshop installed, which was all I really needed.
I used it several times and then haven't used it for about two months. Today when I started it, I got the same error message I had been getting when I first had the install problems. The program starts and then says something like "Your username, serial number or registration is invalid or missing. Photoshop must now Exit". Turns out I also have Image Ready and Bridge installed. They also give errors when I start them.
I looked at Control Panal/Install Remove Programs and none of these programs is listed.
So, first of all - do I need to uninstall them and start from scratch? Also, why did they stop working? Was I supposed to somehow register them online after the install?
This has been quite an ordeal. I wish I could afford to buy the newer version of Photoshop. It would make life so much easier.
Can you afford $9.99/month?
Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, and Lightroom Mobile along with a Behance pro site are available for that price right now.
CS2 is nothing short of a crapshoot on Windows 7.

I can't open my Itunes program in my laptop computer with windows 8. the message is "Itunes has stopped working. A problem causess the program to stop working properly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I reboot the machine, Uninstall and re install the Itune program, stilll the same message pops up.
The first thing to try is System Restore to take you back to a point in time when it did work. If that is not successful, create a new user on the computer. log in with that and see if ID will start. This will tell us if the problem is in the system/program or the user account.
If it works in a new user account, see Replace Your Preferences and in addition to replacing the prefs, empty the InDesign Recovery folder that will be in the same location and the InDesign SavedData file. -
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.

Adobe Reader 10.1/ 11 get error "has stopped working" on windows 7 after installed 1 or 2 days, but Adobe Reader is fine==
Turning off the Protected Mode at Startup setting fixed the problem for me. Switched off all protected mode settings in Preferences exited Adobe Reader XI then restarted. Now I can successfully open files without the program crashing. I run the same versions of Adobe Reader and Norton Internet Security on Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems and the problem only occurred on Windows 7.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself. -

applephotostreams.exe has stopped working. Windows 7 PC.
Same issue, Upon start up I get this error (attached)
Have tried choosing check online for solution, it spins and spins, then poof, the dialog box simply closes, nothing, no tab open in the browser with possible solutions, no reply that a solution couldn't be found. If I go into iCloud panel, PhotoStream has a check mark in it and the same error pops up again. HOW do you uninstall applephotostreams.exe? It is NOT listed in my Programs & Features in Control Panel. By doing a 'Search Desktop' I can see it is located in Program files (x86)/Common files/Apple/internet services... how do I properly delete it and reinstall? (It is working FINE between my iPad and iPhone, and until yesterday had been working just fine on my PC (Win 7 64bit) Thank you -

I receive Adobe updates on a regular basis without any problems. The other day, my Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Editor) function has suddenly stopped working. Windows cannot seem to solve the problem. I can open all the other function buttons without any problems just not the most important one which is the Editor Function. Has anyone experienced this situation and knows what to do?
Did you tried uninstalling and then installing it again?

When opening Itunes, after placing my ID and password, I'm getting a message that indicates "Itunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working. Windows will close the program and will notify you if a solution is available. But I never get a response. Can somebody help?
Same exact thing with me. And no help from apple. Just dropped nearly $600 and cannot get a decent working setup.
Apple's only suggestion was to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, and re-install... of course (the I.T. Crowd tactic).
The crash happens only on iTunes store access. -
Everytime I open itunes I get a message saying itunes has stopped working and windows is looking for a solution
I have the same issue. An iTunes help page (iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support) suggested I hold down shift and control when clicking to open iTunes, which opens iTunes fine for me. That would mean the problem is in the third party plug-ins that work with iTunes. However, the help pages did not say what to do with the plug-ins once I knew that was the issue. The pages said to find the plug-ins and move them to the Desktop, which I did. That's where the help pages stopped, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know what to do from there?

HP Solutions Center stopped Working on Windows 8
I have been using HP 3210 all in one printer for quite some time on Windows 8. All of the sudden earlier this week or last, I noticed the Solutions Center no longer worked. A message comes up saying the device software has not installed correctly. I have tried reinstalling the entier software, but get the same response. Any ideas of why it was working and now all of the sudden it does not. the printer still prints out fine, just can't use the solutions center.
Hey @BOWZ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today in resolving the error with HP Solutions Center 'Device Software has not installed correctly' with your HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One. Being that you're running Windows 8 there is a good chance that if this was working for a period and suddenly stopped working a Windows Update most likely caused the conflict. Now I know you have already tried reinstalling your software and that failed to resolve anything. I'm going to offer a few more steps here to get your Solutions Center software up and running again.
Step 1: Uninstall your HP Software:
Open your start screen by either clicking on the Windows start button on the bottom left of your computer screen or by selecting your Windows button on the bottom left hand corner of your keyboard to the right of the Ctrl button
Once your Start screen opens just type 'programs and features' and the Programs and Features option should automatically populate. Should it not show as an option then you may need to select 'Settings' on the right hand side and then choose 'Programs and Features'
Once Programs and Features launches a list of all the programs installed on your computer will populate. Locate the HP Photosmart C3210 software and uninstall it. Note: you should see a file that says 'HP Photosmart 3210 basic driver' and one that shows 'Solutions Center,' ensure that they are removed from your computer.
Once the HP Software is uninstalled then reboot your computer
Step 2: Empty your Temp Files:
When your computer comes back on, reopen your Start screen and type 'Run'
Select the Run box and then type in the run box %temp% and select OK
When the Temp folder opens select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard to select everything in the Temp folder
Next release Ctrl + A and select Delete on your keyboard
Almost everything should delete out of this Temp folder. If any files are still being used on your computer you will have the pop up to 'skip' these.
Note: Only Temporary files are being deleted. No files or folders for your actual computer will be removed by doing this.
6. Once the files in the Temp folder have been deleted then close the folder
7. Right click on your Recycling Bin on your Desktop and left click on 'Empty Recycling Bin'
Step 3: Run an MSCONFIG Selective Startup:
Reopen your Run box again and this time type msconfig and select OK
When the System Configuration Utility opens select 'Selective Startup' and uncheck 'Load Startup Items'
Click on the Services tab at the top and uncheck 'Hide all Microsoft Services' at the very bottom
Select Disable All on the right hand side
Select Apply and OK
When prompted, restart your computer 1 more time
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
You're now ready to reinstall your HP Software and Drivers. Please select this link: HP Photosmart and Officejet Full Feature Software and Drivers for your drivers.
Select Download and Run the HP installer when prompted
Follow the on screen instructions to complete the install of your HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One.
Does Solutions Center work now?
If yes, please re-enable your Startup Services again.
How to Enable Startup Services:
Open the Run box and type msconfig and select OK
When System Configuration Utility opens select 'Normal Startup'
Select Apply and OK
Restart your computer again when prompted
Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Good luck!
