Default program error

I am trying to export a model from Google SketchUp to GoogleEarth and every time photoshop opens.
I export the .kmz file and saw that Photoshop is the default program. So I tried to change it over "Get Info".
For one single file it is no problem. If I want to change it for all the default program is set back to photoshop.
So what can I do?
Thank you for your help.
Greetings
PS: I´ve tried it with different filetypes like .txt and there it works.
So I think it must have to do with .kmz files.

Getting this error while opening a folder : This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

Hi,
While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

Hi Nikunj Shah,
First, I suggest you download
Microsoft Safety Scanner or
Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

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.

I just installed Window 7 professional in place of Windows 7 Ultimate RC to which I subscribed. I was not pleased to do a clean install as opposed to an upgrade and was not informed about it.
When I reinstalled Office 2007, my outlook does not work, although exchange on the web works. I get the following error message:
There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default programs control panel

Louis,
This issue may occur if the Outlook registry key is corrupted. When other programs try to use the Outlook Simple MAPI interface, they cannot retrieve the required information from the registry.
You must first remove the corrupted Outlook registry key, and then perform a Detect and Repair operation to have Outlook rebuild the key. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
Select the subkey, and then press DELETE.
Click Yes.
Quit Registry Editor.
Start Outlook.
On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair.
Important: Above section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
Hope above information helps.

"Could not complete the save command because of program error."

Dear all,
I am having problems saving jpegs on Photoshop CS3. I use windows XP professional. I am saving using the save menu (not save as). I am using a saving archive, where folders are within folders. I am trying to save images which have been copy and pasted from the web.
The message I get is:
“Could not complete the save command because of program error.”
Has anyone got this message, and know how to solve it?
Helen

I think My Documents is a local folder.
I would avoid saving to deeply buried folders because the path will be too long.
If the problem still persists, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Cannot set default programs for a file extension in Gnome

After a gnome upgrade (cannot remember when), I can no longer set the default program for a particular file extension by right clicking the file in nautilus -> going to "properties" -> going to "open with" tab -> highlighting a program -> pressing "set as default".

The program I was trying to set was totem for default video playback; wine had made windows media player the default player prior. Interestingly, once I installed gnome-mplayer; the default program changed to gnome-mplayer and I was then able to switch default programs. This error may be related to wine.

Photoshop elements editor Could not complete your request because fo a program error

I am running PSE 8.0. On some of my photos I cannot save the image.
Even if I do no editing on the photo and just do a "save as" in a completely
different folder I get the error message Could not complete your request
because of a program error.
I have set the RAM preferences to 1100MB and the history states to 20.
What is the program error?
Looking at the discussion forum, this problem has been there since 2007.
Doesn't Adobe fix its software?
Joe M

I would suggest you to reset the preferences file of photoshop elements and then try. Follow these steps
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.

Photoshop CS4 - getting error message that states: Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting this message when

Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting error message every time I open the program and try to do anything. Have to Force Quit to close. Using a Mac. Your expertise is appreciated!!

Have you tried removing all 3rd party plug-ins?
Also, resetting preferences to defaults may help... Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

"Could not save as 'filename' because of a program error." Won't allow me to save in ANY format!

I have a large file (3500x8300px) that i have been working on in Photoshop CS4 and i tried to save it after working on it for about 30 minutes and got the following message: "Could not save as 'filename' because of a program error." I tried saving it as .psd, .pdf, .tif, even .jpg and received the same message each time. I closed down all other software to ensure that there was enough memory available but to no avail. I then just closed my MBP and waited until the next day hoping it was just a glitch and might work later on. I opened it up the next day (forgetting about the save issue) and worked on the file for a few more hours and then tried saving it again. (that's when i remembered the issue...too late...the work was already done). Nope...still won't let me save it. I'm afraid i'll have to restart the program but cannot afford to lose this work. Any thoughts on how to fix it?
*note: i tried 'save for web' and it allowed me to save it as a flattened image (although rather slow due to filesize) but i need it in a layered format.
ANY HELP would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

There's a long-standing issue in which Windows 7 Explorer sometimes gloms onto image files in the process of caching thumbnails in Thumbs.db files. Thing is, Windows 7 itself no longer uses these files, because a new thumbnail caching subsystem has been implemented that uses a central database, but the Thumbs.db creation has been maintained by default for compatibility. The good news is that you can turn it off via the Local System Policy editor, to get some relief from file access conflicts.
Do you have Windows 7?
If ao, and you have no legacy apps that need Thumbs.db files, you can do this:
Click Start, type gpedit.msc into the search box, and hit Enter.
When the Local Group Policy Editor comes up, navigate into:
> User Configuration
> Administrative Templates
> Windows Components
> Windows Explorer
Right-click the entry Turn off the caching of thumbnails in hidden thumbs.db files and choose Edit.
Enable the setting.
Log off Windows and back on.

Windows 7: CS6: Getting a Program Error when flipping foreground and background colors

Yesterday, I started getting an error when trying to set the default colors and then flipping them. I also get a program error when I try to click on the foreground color and manually assigning it with white.
This is a Windows 7 Ultimate, with PS CS6.
I closed the program twice and ran into the same problem, then rebooted and got the same errors. As far as I can tell, this is the only tool or feature acting up, other than the actions which have this step in them.
Looking for an easy fix first, of course. Like maybe deleting the Prefs file? Mac people seem to have to do that regularly.
But, if nothing works, will I need to uninstall PS and reinstall it? Would that also mean I'd have to install all of my filter packages again, too?
Thanks in advance,
M. Jackson

Noel,
To date, I have only restarted PS, and only rebooted and restarted PS.
I have not done any other steps. I am open to anything that keeps me from having to reload, mainly because of all of the filters, presets, actions, and so forth I'd have to find to reload from scratch.
And, please note, I am on a PC. The Command-Shift-Option is a Mac command. I assume, on a PC that would be Control-Shift-Alt?
Thanks again,
Mike Jackson

Errors thrown when opening files: "could not complete your request because of a program error"

I have a user on our network that recently had Photoshop CS5 reinstalled. Now when she opens .psd files she is notified to "Update the text layers" on the document. If you press "Update" the error "could not complete your request because of a program error" is thrown. If she clicks "no" then she can't properly edit the text layers on the files. I have reset her preferences files and run the font test script with no luck on either.

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.

How do you change default program?

I have photoshop on an external drive which is fine... But it is listed as the default program to open jpeg files, and I am often not connected to the external, when I'm on the go.
How do I change the default program back to Preview?

Yes it does list Preview as default, when the ext is not connected, but once the external is connected Photoshop takes over. I unfortunately can't do anything more about this at the moment as the External decided to stop working.
I've already posted this error on the Western Digital website, but maybe I can get feedback her as well... My 500Gb WD My Book, worked fine for months now, yesterday I started it up and it would not access it, when i went into drive utility it is not listed as a 2 Tb WD Esternal. **** it grew!?! Same thing when connected to a PC, connection established, but you cant see the drive in Explorer. Weird...?

I get "application not found" when clicking on a http link in a mail, even after having set firefox as the default program for http links.

After installing firefox 15.0, I can not open links form email or other office 2010 applications. I get "application not found" error. I tried setting firefox as the default program both manually (in the Windows default program panel) and automatically (having Firefox to do it automatically on startup (tools->options->advanced->General). I still have the error.

That sounds odd. Is this error coming from a particular e-mail program you're using? It could be that that program has its own settings for which web browser to launch, ignoring the "default browser" setting in Windows.
Does the same thing happen if you click on a web link from any other external (non-browser) application on your computer? If it happens with other apps too, I would suggest to re-download and install Firefox (www.mozilla.org) and see if that takes care of it.

PS CC 2014 can't start on Mac OSX "Unable to initialize Photoshop due to a Program error"

I just downloaded and installed Adobe Creative Cloud including Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom on an iMac and a Macbook, both with OS OS X 10.10 (14A389).
On both Macbook and iMac i get the same error when I try to start PS CC 2014: "kon photoshop niet initialiseren vanwege een programmafout". Or in English: "Unable to initialize Photoshop due to a Program error".
In PSErrorLog.txt (~/Library/Preferences/Photoshop CC 2014 Settings/PSErrorLog.txt) I see:

I uninstalled and reinstalled: doesn't help
The use of Cleaner Tools didn't solve the problem
How can I get PS CC 2014 up and running ??

On another simular question was the answer:
Either your default color settings files are corrupted, or they are missing (they're in the system application support folder).
Uninstalling and reinstalling should put the default files back in place.
Those files are missing. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't put hem back in place.
