CS4 on Windows7 stopped working, won't start

I have regularly been using CS4 on Windows7 64 bit but today, it won't open. Windows comes up and says "stopped working" and can't find a solution. Any suggestions?

Do you get any messages on the screen apart from "stopped working". you normally get an error number. Without this, the only solution I can think of is to re-install the package from the disk. You will need your CDs/DVDs and serial number to get this working again.
First try to repair the package by going to the control panel. The screen looks something like this:
You get options to uninstall, Change or Repair and you want Repair.
The above picture is from my Windows 8 machine but your Windows 7 should almost be identical. But you get the ideas.

Photoshop Elements 8 stopped working, won't run even after reinstall

I'm using Vista. I installed a couple weeks ago and it's been working fine until today. On startup I keep getting the message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." I worked my way through most of the troubleshooting guide and when I couldn't find the preferences file to rename I figured it might be "lost" and I should just uninstall and reinstall, but that didn't fix it, it still won't start. I really need this program and it was a lot of money (for me). Getting frustrated! Anyone?

I am having the same problem and tried calling tech support was on hold for an hour and a half its
driving me crazy trying to figure it out. Did an online chat which was no help what so ever.
If I find out something I will let you know for sure...

Brightness keys stopped working; won't restart or shut down

A couple days ago my brightness and volume keys stopped working. I thought restarting my computer (i also needed to restart it to install a software update) would fix this problem but then realized my Mac won't go to sleep, restart, or shut down. Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks for the help!

Sounds like you'll have to, then...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
(If perchance you cant Find your Install Disk, at least do the Safe Boot part above).

MSI P35 NEO - USB ports stop working when Windows starts loading

I've just replaced the MB, CPU, RAM sticks, video card and PSU after the previous MB died on me last week. The problem I've been having is that my mouse and keyboard (they're both USB) stop working as soon as Windows starts loading. They're both functioning during the boot sequence. USB controllers and USB Legacy Support are both enabled in BIOS. I've tried plugging in my old ps/2 keyboard but that one won't work either once Windows has started loading (although it just struck me that it's possible I accidentally plugged it into the mouse port). Any advice on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

Photoshop CS4 Image Processor Stopped Working

My workflow consists of tagging photos in Bridge then using Photoshop actions via the Image Processor from the Bridge tools>photoshop menu. All the sudden it stopped working, the image processor box doesn't pop up anymore. When choosing a folder manually through Photoshop, it says Sorry I Can't Complete The File...... (like it always says when it's successful) but nothing processes. I have reset all the factory settings.
OSX 10.5.8 w/ Adobe Suite CS4
I need to get this project finished today rather than wasting my whole weekend doing manual actions on nearly 2000 photos for the next week straight. This process has been successful for the past 3 years.
Thanks so much in advance for your time.

That must have been an ungodly degree of nesting.
The Image Processor is actually a plug-in script, written by Russell Brown. If you like it, you should try Dr. Brown's Services 2.0.2 (for CS4; for CS5 there's a later beta version available) by the same author and also free. It's like the Image Processor on steroids. I haven't used the latter for years, since installing Dr. Brown's Services.

DNG Converter suddenly stopped working, won't read NEF files

Hi all, I'm new here, but am looking for some help.
I currently am on a mac book and run photoshop CS3. I've been shooting with a nikon d700 in raw. When I upload the photos to my computer I've previously run them through the DNG converter without a problem. Now, for the past two days it has just stopped working. When I try to convert the NEF files, they are just greyed out, I can't select anything. I tried reinstalling the DNG converter, but still no luck.
I never had any issues with it before, and now it suddenly won't read my files. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thank you!

Had you run the DNG on a Mac before? On the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders only, not on individual files (unless you use the Finder to drop the icons of your raw files on the DNG Converter application icon). From within the application, using File > Open, the icon and names of individual raw files will always appear grayed out.
You need to target the folder that contains the files you want to convert.
CAVEAT: all eligible files in the folder will be converted, including any and all DNG files that may already be contained in the folder. So if you have any DNGs in that folder, they will also be converted again and the original DNGs may be overwritten.

My adobe premiere has stopped working when i start debug in eclipse

my adobe premiere has stopped working chrome dev tool start
pls help me, thanks

The simple answer is that some tool like a virus scanner or generalyl a crooked configuration of local ports due to specific network setups is blocking AE's external communication with those processes. A simple google search could have told you that. You need to figure out what it is.
