CS3 crashes with a message of "an unhandled win32 exception has occurred in photoshop.exe"

I have been able to use Photoshop CS3 just fine but all of sudden it'll randomly crash with a message in Microsoft's Just In Time debugger stating "An unhandled win32 exception has occurred in photoshop.exe" I have Visual Studio 2008 installed and the 3.5 framework that comes with it that's why I have the JIT debugger.
My system meets minimum requirements for Photoshop CS3, and I have used Photoshop CS3 before just fine (prior to reformatting).
Thank you for your time.

Try resetting your preferences with the ctr-alt-shift. If successful will get window outlining options.

    Thank you, Barbara.  All fonts seemed fine, no empty or duplicates.  When I went back to Elements and tried again, it did not crash!  After months of not being able to use type tool,,, not sure why it worked, but it did.  Thanks again!  I appreciate the time you took to answer my question.

  • Unhandled win32 exception occurred in crw32.exe [4316]

    Hey all! I'm a Crystal Reports newbie trying to pinch hit a problem that we're having.
    In Crystal 2008 we have a report that when run against certain criteria (i.e. data) causes CR to crash with the following error:
    "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in crw32.exe [4316]"
    I did some searching and haven't found any info related to this. Is there a place I can post a bug report? The issue seems to occur after it's read all the records and generated the content, and seems to be happening when producing the exported file; I tried PDF and HTML formats and have the same issue.
    We were able to narrow down specific records that when excluded allowed the report to work properly. But in looking at the data there's nothing particularly outstanding, just text and dates.
    The Visual Studio debugger provides the additional information:
    Unhandled exception at 0x00681a2a in crw32.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000008.
    00681A2A  mov         ebx,dword ptr [eax+8]
    Windows also provides some additional info:
    AppName: crw32.exe      AppVer: 12.0.0.796      ModName: crw32.exe
    ModVer: 12.0.0.796      Offset: 00281a2a
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hi Vitaly!
    1) Yup we've tried on various machines.
    2) Report produces 5 pages of data from 845 records.
    3) We're not sure how many records there are in total that can cause the issue, but we've been able to find a handful of
        records that we know will cause the issue. We're currently trying to determine what's unique about them, but there's nothing
        that really stands out from eyeballing them.Maybe some weird encoded characters in the text?
    4) Downloaded the CR Viewer XI and was able to export to PDF. I can try it on older versions if they're available for download somewhere?
    5) Crashes when exporting to Excel format as well. Text and XML are the only formats (we know of) that seem to work when those particular records are present.
    6) Yup, absolutely, I'll send that to you.

    Your Presentation services has crashed. If you are not running the latest OBIEE release you should try upgrading. Otherwise only Oracle Support will be able to help as this is an application crash.

    can you tell me step by step how to recify  this problem.
    Yes:
    Step 1: Delete the preview cache.
    That's it!
    So, the trick is to find the preview cache.
    This document gives location:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-41.html
    To be clear: it's a folder in with your catalog and you want to delete the whole folder but nothing else.
    If your catalog file path is "X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog.lrcat", then the preview cache "folder" will be:
    X:\My Catalogs\My Catalog Previews.lrdata
    So the trick is to find your catalog file, and since Lr won't open your catalog and run, you can't use it to find out.
    But you should be able to find it by searching your disks for *.lrcat files - do you know how to do that?
    Which OS?
    If you know the name of the catalog it will help, but also: it's probably NOT in with your program files.
    UPDATE: The above-mentioned document gives default name and location for preview cache, so if you haven't overridden the default, it should be right where that document said it would be - is it? (of course you need to know your user name too, but presumably you do, no?).

  • Adobe After Effects CS3 crashes with Codecs such as Motion JPEG and Avid DnxHD

    Hey guys, I'm new here
    I'm having a problem with After Effects CS3 crashing with .mov files (exported from Adobe Premiere) with codecs such as Motion Jpeg A and Avid's DnxHD. Its driving me crazy.
    If I import a Motion Jpeg A file, AE crashes immediately. If I import a DnxHD file that works fine with Premiere, it seems to import ok. However, when I try to play it in AE it comes up as a plain white... thing. If I move the slider across it previews one or two frames before AE crashes. Its driving me crazy.
    AE works ok with H.164 and animation files.
    I'm reinstalled quicktime and Avids codecs, uninstalled ffdshow, disabled Open GL and multiprocessing, changed between 10bit and 8bit (whatever that is all about) with the dnxhd and I'm really stumped. If I can get Dnxhd working I'm fine with that. I thought I'd mention the Motion Jpeg A codec to see if they're a result of the same problem.
    I've also tried Avid's RGB packed Codec with the same results.
    I'm running Windows Xp 32 bit with 3gbs of ram, a GeForce 8600 gt with a Intel Pentium Duo Core Processor 2.00 GHZ.
    Can anyone help me please?

    I'm mistaken, Animation files don't work either!
    I tried that with no luck. I even tried a few more Quicktime codecs with the same results.
    Only H.164 and some png compressed .mov files seem to work. Very frustrating.
    I'm surprised thats the case - I am defintley due for an upgrade. Even though this system seems to work ok, struggling a little bit with HD .mov files but yeah, I've been planning a new system for a while.

  • Powerpivot - Can't insert formula that combines two or more different columns and keep getting message "unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application...

    Does anybody know how to fix this ?

    Mark,
    I used the Fix It found here:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501
    I would have to ask my IT support person for more specifics, but as I understand the scenario with my particular laptop: the laptop came preloaded with RTM build of 2013.  We used Control Panel to uninstall Office 2013, in order to install Office
    2010.  I installed PowerPivot add-in and used it successfully with no issues for several months.  After attempting to install another program and encountering issues with apparent traces left behind of Office 2013 uninstall, I found the link above
    and used the Fix It to attempt to remove all remaining traces of Office 2013.  While it did appear to find and clean-up quite a bit left behind from the Office 2013 install, I was surprised to find an error upon entering my existing installation
    of PowerPivot for 2010 and attempting to type new formulas into the formula bar.
    My experience to-date is that an error message stating ""Return Argument Has an Invalid Type" appears anytime I select or modify a formula in the formula bar that would cause the intellisense to appear.  For example, when I first click into the formula
    bar, I do not get an error...but as soon as I type the first letter, before the intellisense appears, I get the error message.  Throughout the remainder of the formula as I type, just prior to any time when the intellisense drop-down will appear
    again, I get the same error message again (see details below).
    At one time, although I can't reproduce it now, the error message did state ".Net Framework" in the menu bar of the error pop-up window.  I can't get that to appear again, as it now only says "PowerPivot for Excel".  Based on this, I had attempted
    to see if I could repair my .NET framework install using the following tool:
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30135
    I learned, however, that since I am running Windows 8 which comes with .NET 4.5 built-in to the OS, this tool does not yet cover that version for repair.
    While the overall end-result of my PowerPivot models appear to be just the same, having to click through "Continue" on the error message multiple times each time I enter a new formula is a huge drain on productivity.
    Let me know if you have any additional questions.
    David

  • Recurring crash in WWAHost.exe: Error: "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in WWAHost.exe[]". How to diagnose/fix?

    It's now 4days, I keep getting this Error from Start up. Am using
    windows8.1, since about a year now, first time I get any Error.
    I can't tell what really caused it, I am a Web/Desktop programmer and for the past 1 month, I haven't done any
    Desktop programming or windows store Apps, am just using Dreamweaver and
    Firefox for my Current E-commerce Web Apps, now for the past
    4days, this is happening...
    One recurring problem is the following dialog, which
    pops up every few second, and it's annoyingly annoying.

    Hi Erick,
    Did this error appear when you test your Dreamweaver application using Just-In-Time Debugger?
    This problem may because the absolute path of the shell resides in the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\shell with a value c:\windows\explorer.exe or c:\winnt\explorer.exe.
    To resolve this problem, modify the value of the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\shell with a value explorer.exe.
    For the details, please refer to this article:
    BUG: You receive an "Unhandled Win32 exception" error message you use the Just-In-Time (JIT) debugger

  • An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in crw32.exe 5048. Crystal 2008 Crash

    I have been using Crystal Reports 2008 with no problem. I have recently installed the trial version of Crystal Server 2008 and am encountering a problem where the reports are now crashing when I try to edit them within Crystal. It happens at various times, but particularly when trying to update a parameter field or add one to a report. The Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger window pops up, listing as a possible debugger "New Instance of Visual Studio 2005". An line at the top of the window shows "An unhandled Win32 exception occurred in crw32.exe 5048.
    We were using .Net v2.0, I've upgraded to v3.0 and no change.  I've turned off DEP.
    I uninstalled Server 2008 and all started working fine again.  Reinstalled Server 2008 with antivirus etc disabled, and the problem returns, the reports keep crashing.
    Getting desperate, any suggestion please?
    Regards, Diane

    Hi Henry,
    Crystal Reports 2008 is not officially tested with SQL Server 2008.
    Try with this:
    1. Reduce the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows.
    2. To access the 'Hardware acceleration' setting in Microsoft Windows:
    Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Display > Settings > Advanced > Troubleshooting.
    There are typically six possible settings for 'Hardware acceleration': from 'None' to 'Full'.
    If you are using Dual monitor run the CR application on primary monitor cause Dual monitor is not tested with CR.
    If still the issue occurs then manually un-install and reinstall the application.
    Regards,

  • Captivate 5 Crashes (Unhandled win32 Exception) when Generating Loquendo TTS

    I consistently get “An unhandled win32 exception occurred in AdobdCaptivate.exe” when Generating a TTS with Loquendo and my VS2010 JIT kick in to “help”.  No dump, nothing in the log.
    I have a 1 slide test project trying the quality to the TTS engines.  The MS and NeoSpeech allow me to generate an audio file, but using the Loquendo voice (any of them), I get a “Test-to-speech Progress” dialog, followed by the exception and Captivate closes.  I installed both the NeoSpeech and Loquendo from the Adobe site, along with the Captivate trial.
    Any ideas where to start debugging this?

    Resolved! 
    This problem has been resolved and I want to thank for posters for pointing me in several directions to look.  As some of you suspect, the problem had nothing to do with Captivate 5 or Loquendo, except some bad behavior by not handling an Exception.
    The root cause was several .Net Framework 4.0 BETA DLLs hanging around.  This particular machine had several incarnations of .Net Framework installed, uninstalled and reinstalled.  Digging deep into the registry, I find some beta code still getting loaded into GAC.  My solution was to trash this users’ PC and reinstall a fresh copy of the OS (it’s a sandbox machine anyway).
    After installing a clean copy of the OS, all the maintenance and upgrades, including .Net Framework 3.5 SP1, Captivate 5 (and friends) worked properly.
    Again, thanks for the support.
    Regards,
    Jon
