CS3 Master Coll. Photoshop has suddenly quit working (running XP)

When I click OPEN to open a file,. instead of taking me to my folders, it closes Photoshop down. Open Recent works but not plain Open. I uninstalled it using the Add/Remove and reinstalled to no avail. It also thinks I don't have an internet connection when clearly I do. The other components seem to be working okay- just not the one I need. I have a big wedding to edit and finish by the end of the week- help!

My problem with photoshop and CS3 is that they are  triplicating the
photographs each time I launch and Adobe seems to continue to  give me the excuse
they are working on the problem of catalogues they are aware 
of.....................  I am into my 4 th month with this problem and  still have nothing
resolved.

ok  so I have had CS3 design suite for a few years now and I have never
had any  problems, the past few months I keep getting errors saying the
liscensing on  this product has quit working and I need to uninstall and
reinstall to fix  it.  I looked this problem up on the internet and found an
article on  adobe's site telling me to fix the flexnet issues and whatnot.  I did
everything it told me to do and photoshop still wont launch, continues to
give  me this error!  I uninstall the program and reinstall and it works
fine  for about 3-4 days then starts this all over again...I am at the end of
my  rope here, cant get any work done cause photoshop is always down.  I am 
running windows vista, would this be part of the problem maybe?  any help 
would greatly be appreciated, Im not sure at this point if I should get a new
version of windows or a new computer or what...something is not right with
it  and I cant keep doing portrait sessions without being able to deliver
proofs  in a timely  manner!

Has anyone experienced this situation and knows what to do?

    Hi. My photoshop elements 12 has suddenly stopped working. When i tried opening it yesterday absolutely nothing happened. After a reinstallation I got to choose between opening picture browser or photoshop elements and when trying to open elements nothing happens. Now I have reinstalled windows but still with the same result. I was using the program for several months without problem until yesterday when it suddenly stopped working. Any suggestions on what to do?

  • My Photoshop CC and also my CS6 has suddenly stopped working. I'm using Windows 7 - 64 bit.

    My Photoshop CC and also my CS6 has suddenly stopped working. I'm using Windows 7 - 64 bit. I need help, does anyone know what to do?

    We can't know. You have not told us what exactly the problem is. If there are any warnings, you need to provide them along with other info like the crash logs. If not you have to explain the situation in more detail. Just saying that it doesn't work anymore is not particularly useful.

    My 12 year old Canoscan 8800f has suddenly stopped working. When I press the power button a light comes on inside, but after a bit of whiring it goes out and the scanner switches off. Is there a solution or should I buy a new scanner?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I would still get a new one.  They aren't too expensive and they have added a lot of features such as LED bulbs and instant on.

  • HT1766 My iPad speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, anything in setup for a fix

    My speaker suddenly quit working, ear phones are ok, is there a setting for this

    Plug/unplug the headphones from the iPad a few times. Also try rotating the plug in the socket a few times. The headphone jack has an internal switch which turns the speaker off when the headphones are plugged in. The contacts may have gotten dirty within the socket. Working the plug within the socket can sometimes get things working again.

    Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • "Application Photoshop has unexpectedly quit"

    Help!
    I get this message when I try to open CS3:  "Application Photoshop has unexpectedly quit"
    I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard.  Could that be related?
    I'm using a Mac Pro3, 2x2.8 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 6GB 800 MHz DDR2FB-DIMM
    I've read through all of the forums and FAQ to try to find a solution.  I've tried the shift-alt-cmd start
    I've sumbitted the crash report several times, can anyone please help?  I tried to paste the crash data here, but I'm having trouble trying to figure out
    how to copy/paste it here.
    Thanks in advance!

    Well I thought I had the report pasted in....
    Why can't I paste the report?  I copied it, but when I try to paste it here, the only option I have when I right click to paste is: Insert link, insert image, alignment and insert table. 
    Maybe I better get some coffee.  It's still early morning here.

  • Hello  My system version 10.5.8  I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:   "Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".

    Hello
    My system version 10.5.8
    I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
    "Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
    After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
    I then tried the following experimental steps:
    a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
    b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
    c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
    d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
    e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
    Guys, please solve the problem

    There are many threads on this.  I typed "Uninstalling TastyApps" in the Google search, and came up with these:
    http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Uninstalling+tastyapps&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
    I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have.  Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.

  • I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

    The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

  • My iPod touch 5 suddenly quit working and it won't charge.

    My 5th Generation iPod touch suddenly quit working. I try to charge it and nothing happens.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable              
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HP Deskjet F4140 Suddenly Quit Working

    Hello, I have an HP Deskjet F4140 connected to my iMac that suddenly quit working. The iMac doesn't even detect a a printer connected. I have updated my BIOs, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers, etc. It worked fine last week. The only update I have made since then was an automatic update of the EEI Firmware. Any help?

    The Apple updates messed with my HP C4280. I had to uninstall-delete then hunt down all HP files (preferences etc) using Spotlight and delete. Then restart and download and install the drivers again. After all of this it worked properly. Good luck.
