Get photoshop has stopped working error on Launch on my Win 8 pc

About two weeks ago I downloaded Adobe CC for students, my problem is that photshop is not working. When I start the program i get the following message:"photoshop has stopped working and needs to be closed, windows will tell you if there is any solution in the future" I have tried to re-install it twice, and I just updated the program.
I got windows 8
Hope to get some help soon! Thanks!

Does this happen only with Photoshop CC or with other Adobe apps like InDesign CC & Illustrator CC?
What version of PS CC do you use?
Try updating to Win 8.1 and that should install all the required windows updates and then check the same.
You still want to install the video card driver from the manufacturer website, as already suggested by Chris, to be double sure that you have the right GPU drivers installed.
In case your PS still crash, check Event Viewer for the Faulty Module and let us know.

Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application
Look for "Error" in red color and check the Application name and faulty module.
Cheers!

Hey Cassblue21,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. While you may have already attempted most of the steps outlined in this article, I wished to provide it to you just in case you missed something. The article includes great isolation steps to determine if the issue is user-specific, or system-wide. Once you have isolated the issue, a few solutions are offered:

Licensing has stopped working error durinng launch of Photoshop CS3

I cannot get rid of this error message during launch of PS CS3. I tried uninstalling running the CS3MacClean Script, reinstalling, ... same problem. The same installer and serial number works fine on a clean system so I know there must be a file or two that the cleanup script doesn't remove.
Anybody know what files to delete?

After installation, a system upgrade, machine migration, backup restore, or some other system event(s), trying to launch Adobe applications on Mac OS X results in the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working." You may see error numbers after this message, such as "150:30".
Solutions
Do one or more of the following solutions. Note, Adobe Trial Software that displays the error can not be restored to run.
Solution 1: Run the License Repair Tool
Close any Adobe applications.
Download the License Repair Tool:
www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html
Run the License Service Update.
1. Double click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg
2. Double click the LicenseRecoveryLauncher.app.
3. Enter your administrator username and password when prompted and click OK.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Start your Adobe application(s).
Important: The patch applies to Creative Suite 3 or 4 products, Acrobat 8 or 9, Photoshop Elements 6 or 8, Director and Technical Communication Suite. If your issue was not resolved on the first attempt, run the patch again and enter option 0, when prompted to do so.
Solution 2: Delete the FLEXnet Publisher preferences folder
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
Quit all Adobe applications.
On your startup disk, locate and rename, or copy to the desktop and then delete, the following folder:
/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
Start your Adobe application(s).
Solution 3: Repair Disk Permissions
Launch the Apple Disk Utility:
/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app
Select your startup disk.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
Note: This can take considerable time. For more information about using Disk Utility, consult Apple's website.
Start your Adobe application(s).
Solution 4: Reset your permissions on the FLEXnet Publisher licensing service folder.
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
Use the permissions instructions below to modify the permissions on the following folder on your startup disk:
/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
Solution 5: Reset your permissions on the Adobe PCD folder.
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
Use the permissions instructions below to modify the permissions on the following folder on your startup disk:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/
Permissions Instructions:
Close out of all Adobe applications. Follow the directions below to modify permissions to the folder.
Note: This solution requires administrative privileges on your computer. You will need to provide administrative credentials.
On Mac OS X 10.4
Using Finder, navigate to the folder to be modified.
Control+Click the folder, and then select Get Info.
Expand the Ownership & Permissions section.
Click the Details option to show the various owner and group options.
Verify that you have Read & Write permissions.
Click the lock icon next to the Owner field, choose yourself as the Owner, type in your administrator username and password when prompted, and click OK.
Change the Owner to system.
Change the Permission to Read & Write for Owner.
Click Apply To Enclosed Items and click OK to the warning dialog.
Type in your administrator username and password when prompted and click OK.
Close the Get Info dialog box.
Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
On Mac OS X 10.5
Using Finder, navigate to the folder to be modified.
Control+Click on the folder, and then select Get Info.
Expand the Sharing & Permissions section.
Click on the Details option to show the various owner and group options.
Click the lock icon in the lower right corner. Type in your administrator username and password when prompted and click OK.
Change your username to have Read & Write permissions.
Change admin to have Read & Write permissions.
Change Everyone to have Read & Write permissions.
Click the Gear icon and select Apply To Enclosed Item.
Close the Get Info dialog box.
Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
Solution 6: Remove the SQLite journaling file.
Important: The path listed below refers to the Library folder that lives just inside your startup disk, not the Library folder inside your user home folder!
The journaling file exists only under specific circumstances where a client is accessing the database file with certain options enabled. If the file does not exist, continue to the next solution.
Using Finder, navigate to:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD/cache
If present, delete cache.db-journal.
Launch Adobe Acrobat 9 or an Adobe Creative Suite 4 product.
Solution 7: (Acrobat 9 only) Reinstall on a non-case-sensitive file system.
Adobe applications are not supported on an OS formatted with a case-sensitive file system. If you attempt to install an Adobe application on a case sensitive volume such as a UFS, HFS+ case sensitive (HFSX) or SMB formatted drive, you get an error that the file system of the setup drive is not supported. Only Acrobat 9 doesn't display such error message and allows you to install the application, but attempting to launch Acrobat 9 results in the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working (error code 130:9)." The drive needs to be reformatted to a non-case-sensitive file system.
To check if MAC OS X is formatted with a case-sensitive file system :
From the Apple menu select About this Mac.
Click More Info and under Hardware select Serial-ATA.
Select the drive Acrobat 9 has been installed on and check the file system in the list. Note if the file system is case sensitive.
Alternatively, use the Disk Utility to check the file system:
From Applications > Utilities, launch the Disk Utility
Select the disk Acrobat is installed on and check its format.
Solution 8: Contact Adobe Technical Support
Adobe Technical Support can obtain logs from your machine to determine additional information about the failure. Contact Adobe Technical Support if the information provided has not helped to resolve your issue.
Additional Information
The Flexnet folders/files required to run Adobe applications can get corrupted, or have permission settings problems, if moved from one machine to another, or through a system restore from Time Machine. Flexnet service licensing failures can't be resolved by re-installating the appliaction, nor will the Adobe CS3 or CS4 Clean Scripts solve this problem. If permissions issues prevented the FLEXnet licensing service from launching, accessing its data, or communicating with Adobe processes, the licensing failure is expected.

Getting itunes has stopped working error when sync wit IPad

I am getting a itunes has stopped working when sync with IPad, using windows 7

It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:
[iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

Why will photoshop not open after loading it to new iMac computer from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

Why will Photoshop CS4 not open after loading to new iMac from an external hard drive and I get this message: Licensing for this product has stopped working:error code: 150:30

A Photoshop installation is tied to the machine it was installed on. Moving it to or from a hard drive breaks the licensing.
The answer is easy: Reinstall CS4 from your disc. and apply all updates.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working error

Updated to latest CC version - everything worked as expected for a couple of days - earlier this afternoon LR started (and continues) to crash. "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has stopped working" error - I followed various bits of support instructions - uninstalling - re-installing - signing out and back in - downloaded and engaged "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" - now, several hours later, the problem has not been resolved - I urgently need to get back to my project. Unfortunately, I even followed the thread that instructed to uninstall the previous 5.7.1 version.
Please assist asap - regards Kalli

Did not tinker with any of the setting options in the preference dialog. Just installed and worked successfully for a couple of days using the default settings.
Since the first crash some hours ago, LR has not stayed open making it impossible to try different settings.
The default install provided a fully working app - I tried out the new feature and soon after went back to my project.
Could the fact that I uninstalled the previous - 5.7.? version have anything to do with this?
How can I re-install the previous version at it was stable?
Do any of you have any answers?
And / or do you know how to engage Adobe?
Thanks - Kalli

What happened? Tried to open Elements 8 and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working."

The Welcome screen somes up but then fades and error message says "Photoshop has stopped working." Then Windows closes the program.
I shut down the computer, waited, then did restart, clicked on PSE, and the same message came up again. That was last night, thought I might get a message this morning, but same thing happened again. I'm trying to not panic - this is all new to me.
Any help welcome!

If you have not updated to the most current version, you might try that.

Cs5 wont start...I get a message "adobe photoshop has stopped working" I tried uninstalling and re installing...still not working

Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when you launch Acrobat 9

Hi,
I'm part of service desk and my company has several thousand users of Acrobat. There has been strange issues reported since upgrading from 7.0.5 to 9.1 and a lot of them are uhappy. The latest issue is users started to receive the following error,
Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when you launch Acrobat 9 or Adobe Creative Suite 4 products. The link http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html#ErrorCodes has solution, but i tried everything given for 147-178, and nothing works. The users are highly frustrated. Any other possibilities? one collegue claims running simple reg cleaner could solve this issue.

Wow,
I went through a "font crisis" on my MacBook about two weeks ago, and I reinstalled Snow Leopard, then restored everything from Time Machine backup. Everything but Office 2008 and CS4 was able to run from the restore, because there were preferences for both that wouldn't copy back to my Library (permissions).
I reinstalled both from the "original media" (dmg's) with my Time Machine and 2 other external HDs connected and mounted. I had no problems with either. In fact since I was re-installing from dmg's stored on my Time Machine drive, I had to have it connected to do this. Installing Office and CS4 from the dmg's took all of twenty minutes for both with no errors at all.
I'm glad you got everything taken care of, but anectdotal evidence tells me CS4 can be reinstalled with external drives connected and mounted.

My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help!

My Photoshop CS4 has stopped working - Error 148:3 (Licensing has stopped working).....help please?
I've not changed anything since the last time I used it but it's just refusing to work.

Ed,
It seems that there might be some gremlin in the licensing module. The PS CS4 board has several similar instances. I do not know exactly what the problem is, but this should be an easy reset by Adobe. It has worked for the PS users and requires one free telephone call. I am with Harm on this. I doubt that many, if any, users can be of much help. The installation issues *used* to be simple and quick, but I have not had to make that call, since Illustrator 3. Have your S/N handy. If you purchased from the Adobe Store, a receipt # might come in handy too. Once your product has been verified, you'll probably be asked to enter a key, and away you go.
Good luck,
Hunt

Just installed Photoshop CC on my PC, but each time I try to open it I get "Ps has stopped working." Help!

Hey there, I've just installed PS CC on my PC. Each time I try to open the program, it runs for about 5 seconds and then a dialog box pops up and says "Photoshop has stopped working." Am I going to have to re-install the program?

I've also downloaded After Effects, and that program is working smoothly. Any thoughts?

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working error

Hello guys,
I have recently built a new computer with the following specs:
CPU: 4790k (stock speed)
Ram: Team Extreem 16 GB (2x8) (at 2400mhz)
Motherboard: Asus Ranger 7
GPU: Zotac 780ti Amp edition
Storage: 250SSD Samsung evo + Barracuda 1TB
PSU: 850 G2 EVGA
Operating System: Windows 7 Professional
All drivers are up to date.
So I have installed the creative cloud and then proceeded to install the applications in the following order: Media Encoder, Photoshop and Premiere Pro CC. Both media and photoshop have no problems but premiere pro CC crashes upon clicking on it.
I would click on the premiere pro CC button and the premiere pro loading screen will pop up but then the 'has stopped working error' will happen immediately.
I need to get this problem solved within the next couple of days because I need it for a very important video project. If this problem cannot be fixed in the next 2 days I will, unfortunately, have to refund my subscription with adobe (still within 28 days) and use Cyberlink or Vegas.
I tried searching the forums and google but haven't found a solution that works for me. Could someone please lend a hand?

This Apple article will help you isolate the problem a little -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
Does iTunes start in Safe Mode?
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interfence with plug-ins or scrpits not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
It would also be helpful if you can provide the Error Report from the Windows Action Center Reliabilty History.
