Error Message when trying to open photoshop 8, then closes

I don't know how to stop this problem from happening, I cant get into the program to change any settings or troubleshoot.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled after restarting my computer and the same problem is still happening.  I don't know what to try next.  I have only had the program for two weeks, and it seemed to be working fine before I changed the preference to have it automatically sort through and tag my photos.  Maybe part of the problem is that I imported some scrapbooking graphics into the photo organizer.  I don't know how to change or fix the problem though, what do I do?

Delete the organizer preferences (by deleting psa.prf file at C:\Documents and Settings\<LocalUser>\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer) and launch Organizer again. This will create new preferences for organizer and your program should launch fine after this.

  • Program error message when trying to open photoshop cc

    I downloaded photoshop cc when I had snow leopard (10.6.8). It opened at first but subsequently when I tried to open it I get a program error message. I uninstalled and reinstalled while I still had snow leopard and it still wouldn't open. Now I  have mavericks. Will reinstalling fix this? THanks for any suggestions.

    Without system information and otehr details nobody can say anything.

  • Error message when trying to open Photoshop CS5.1

    When launching PS CS5.1 (Mac OS 10.10.1) this error message, "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit." comes on before PS launch screen. Only option is to QUIT. What's happening?
    NOTE:  Before attempting to launch PS (which had always opened fine before) I was prompted to install latest Java runtime, so I did that. Is that the problem?

    Please read these (in particular the section titled "Supply pertinent information for quicker answers"):

  • How do I get rid of error message when trying to open Photoshop 7 on new computer?

    I just got the MacBook Pro, installed my photoshop 7 on it, as I can't find my CS2 disks, I think this is the 3rd computer I have installed it on, installed fine but when I try to open from the dock is says "an unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error, Photoshop will now exit."  I am willing to re-purchase the CSwhatever upgrade, CS3 seems like it is going to be more stable with Snow Leopard than CS4, but am afraid that because of this error message, it won't read my old copy of 7 and thus won't load.  thanks for any help you can give.  I was on hold 45 minutes today with tech support, after 1 guy told me he couldn't help me.

    Have You made sure Photoshop 7 runs under Mac OS X 10.whatever?

    Hi Ian.
    Thank you for answering. But I find no such file in Preferences. I think Lightroom freezes before making the preference file. Other solutions?
    Best wishes,

  • Error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.

    error message when trying to open windows7 via vmwarefusion.;
    Unable to open file "/Users/geraldw/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Windows 7-000016.vmdk": The system cannot find the file specified.
    I've completely uninstalled vmaware fusion. and would like to install a new copy of windows7 plus my vmware fusion3.0 that I have on a disk. I wonder if windows7 is still buried in my mac hard drive somewhere?  I can see some windows files on my mac but they appear a gray and can not be accessed. Could there be a problem installing a new copy of windows through boot camp?   It seems to do so wouldn't be a clean install as I suspect that windows 7 is still on the drive somewhere. I've tried to follow the path the file I listed above, but nothing comes up.  I'm almost certain  it was accidentally deleted completely from the hard drive as it was quarantined while using Clam X anti-virus. I'm a relatively new mac user and long time PC user, but a computer genius I am not. I don't want to have to reformat the whole mac machine and lose my current files, etc.
    I've uninstalled vmare completely and reinstalled, it, but the problem persists.
    Any help?

    You will probably get a better response asking this question in VMWare's forums for Fusion.
    Best of luck.

  • Help ....Error message when trying to open itunes 11 after installing..cant solve it !!!

    Have repaired , reinstalled , created and used a restore point etc etc
    How do I fix this !!! Please

    ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    I receive the follwing error message when trying to open my ipod touch/itunes "the itunes libary.itlfile is lockedon  a lockdisk or you do not have write permission on this file. How do I resolve this problem?

    Repair iTunes Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
    If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
    Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
    If you've brought over the library from another computer you may also want to remove any "mystery" identities (S<string of dashes & digts>) that have come over from the old computer...
    The images above are from Windows 7. Hopefully the system isn't too different in Windows 8.

    I am using an Yahoo Email and I can open a list of contacts but getting an error message when trying to open any of them. My OS is Windows Vista Service Pack 2 installed on a desktop.

  • Acrobat 9.0 error message when trying to open

    Just got this error message when trying to open Acrobat Pro 9.0:
    Has been installed for 6 month, use 4-5 times per week, never had an issue until this. Usually I would do an 'Uninstall' 'Reinstall' before coming to the forum, but it will not allow me to do a 'deactivitation'.Any help at all, thanks.
    System Info:

    Good day,
    You can initiate a Repair installation from Control Panel > Programs by clicking on the Acrobat 9 installation, choosing 'Change' then following the prompts for a repair install.
    I missed the part where you mentioned the error was occurring on launch.  Sorry about that.

  • Photoshop CS6 and PS CC error message when trying to open file

    The following error occurs when I try to open a file from Bridge of Windows Explore:
    "The procedure entry point
    ?ProposeSearchBounds@StructuralImageEditing@@YA?AVBox@I@EA
    BV?$point2_J@gil@boost@@AEBV21@M@Z could not be located in
    the dynamic link library PatchMatch.dll"
    This started happening latge in the day recently and usually a reboot solved the problem
    but i am getting this every time I try open an image. What is the problerm and what are
    the solutions?
    Thank you john

    Just thought I would update. I reinstalled PS CS6 since I had the disk available and the error message did not come back. I then launched Bridge CC and I was able to launch from Bridge without the error message but the file opened in PS CS6 so I checked my file associations in Bridge CC and they were all set to CS6 (odd) but I changed the associations for jpeg and NEF to PS CC and I tried to launch the files. ERROR MESSAGE it is the same one as I noted in yesterdays message. Any suggestions?
    When I did the reinstall of CS6 it was right over the top of PS CS6. Should I do the same with CC? How do I do that? Just download from Creative Cloud Manager?
    Thanks
