Help Again: uninstall/repair Photoshop in CS4

As suggested a month ago, I inserted installer, but no where is there an "options screen" from which to > "custom detail>PS4 repair. On the installer is : Adobe CS4: deployment, extensions, payloads, redist,resources, WinBootstrapper Setup.exe ; then a folder for Autoplay, and single Autoplay.exe, AUTORUN. INF and 3 versions of CS4 Design Standard read me, and unicows.dll.
That's it.
What do I do now?. As previously stated, PS and my photo printer have issues, and tech strongly blamed PS for the spooling problem and I'd like to try to "repair" PS, but how do I?
And next, Read Me suggests a simple "uninstall" from Vista by way of Control Panel, but next, if I did that, how would I reinstall just PS after that? <sigh>
Appreciate the help. Haven't been able to get to this problem 'till now, and I wait with baited breath to get all playing nice again.....
Update 2: Nuts. I just did a check on Control Panel and Adobe CS4 Design Standard is all one thing. Looks like I'd have to remove all and then reinstall all again. Right?
So there goes, InDesign, Illustrator, Bridge, Acrobat 9 and Media Player. That's a mess. It'll take me a lot of time to check and resave all work from those other 5 programs. There must be a better way to do this, is there? Hope I''ve missed something...................thanks so much....mm..

Microsoft XPS is similar in concept to Adobe PDF. You can Print to an XPS file using the Microsoft XPS writer.
Unfortunately, the XPS Viewer seems to be a Windows 7 improvement, so it might not be quite so simple for you to try to use XPS format. I just tried it on one of my Vista systems, and I was able to open an XPS file in Internet Explorer. What I don't know is whether if you do this you can get anything like what you want with your borderless printing using this process:
1. Print to the Microsoft XPS Writer.
2. Save the .xps file in a temporary folder.
3. Double-click the .xps file from within Explorer.
4. In whatever app opens, File - Print.
In Windows 7, step 2 leaves you with the Microsoft XPS Viewer open, and you could print to a real printer directly from there, so it would be a much more direct process. It's been a while since I used Vista daily and I hadn't recalled exactly what XPS features were available in Vista.

Uninstalling adobe photoshop trial CS4 crashes explorer (versionCue.dll)

Running XP pro, 4gb ram, Radeon HD 4800, Intel Pentium E8400. None of that is relevant in the least but I figured someone would ask if I didn't put it up.
Anyway: I installed the photoshop CS4 30 day trial (photoshop and bridge only). Then I uninstalled it. After a restart (I believe), every time I perform certain actions (bring up context menu, cut/copy files...) in window explorer, it will crash, saying the specified module could not be found: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version cue CS4\Client\4.0.0\VersionCue.dll .
Reinstalling the trial fixes the issue.
Uninstalling it again causes the issue to resurface.
I want all adobe software off my computer please! I've learned my lesson! How do I fix explorer? my "keep a crappy expired trial on perpetuity" stratagem is starting to grate.
Similar problems were elsewhere when I searched, but the solution was always "doing X and Y will put cs4 back into you context menu, don't worry." This is not adequate for me. Ideally, the solution to this problem would eliminate all instances of the word Adobe from anywhere on my computer except for my internet history of this page.
Thanks in advance,
-Ben

I went into the folder and discovered only the file VersionCue.dll1. As using and type of dragging and right-clicking all crash explorer, I then copied this file into VersionCue.dll using cmd.exe
So now I
-Lost the software (good)
-Stabalized Explorer (good)
-Restored the drive cs4 options to explorer's context menu (bad).
I really don't want to have to reinstall windows just because I made the mistake of installing adobe software on it. Can anyone help me clean this menu up?
Thanks,

HELP: I was told to uninstall my photoshop cs2 and now I can't reinstall it- also cannot access my adobe account and there is NO CS in the US anymore.

I was told to uninstall my photoshop cs2. My macbook pro went in for repair and I had to restore it from a backup, after which I got this error message when trying to use photoshop: licensing for this product has stopped working: restart computer and try again blah blah blah error code 150:30. I stupidily uninstalled the program at the advice of someone in adobe CS in India and now I can't get it to reinstall. Can anyone please help me? I'm not interested in purchasing a newer versioin of adobe cs photoshop or cloud or ANY of that. I'm quite happy with this one, I just want it back on my laptop. I also run this on my desktop. I also wasn't able to log into my original account due to being told I had to change my password. An email was sent to the email associated with that account but I no longer have access to that email. I'm VERY DISSAPOINTED WITH ADOBE AND THEIR LOUSY SUPPORT. We spend hundreds and this is the support we get???
I oringinalyspent around $4-500 on this program and I would like someone to tell me how to get this back up and running without licensing issues and spending thousands more please. The original CS agent I spoke with after waiting on hold for over 1/2 hour was immediately rude to me and told me I was tyring to understand something, when in actuality he was not listening to a word I told him about my issues. I'm beyond disappointed, I'm DISGUSTED. I really wish I hadn't uninstalled this because I now fear, as I suspected, that I may never be able to get it back and I will be FORCED to spend more money. This is ridiculous. I wish I had never sent my laptop out for repair. I took them several days to figure out that bulb and some wires were damaged and there was no real reason to wipe my whole computer. I wouldn't be dealing with any of this if I hadn't and the original problem is still there, when I open the laptop, the screen blanks out and it takes a minute or so to start functioning, but that is another matter.
I have tried to access the 24 hour chat again but that is not working anymore either.
Can someone please help me? Thanks!

This is a second try to get help. I need help to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop cc 2014

Bridge is not working well, I need to reinstall Photoshop cc 2014 . Someone from Communities was suppose to help me.

Hi John,
I used the chat "Creative chat support" this afternoon at around 14:40
and the person, Karthik M , gave me a link to Technical Support. I
guess he could not help me, but he said he understood the issue.   With
the link "Help, Adobe Installation problems",   I will follow the
instructions to clean ps cc2014 with CCleaner and reinstall the app.
It looks quite complicated but I will give it a try and hopefully succeed.
You have to understand when reading my previous messages, the issue is
no longer "Retreiving Photoshop CC" but reinstalling Phoshop 2014 to try
to repair Bridge.
Thanks for caring,
Suzanne Lanthier

Need Help with UNINSTALLING Photoshop CS

Hey everyone
I want to uninstall my Photoshop CS application on my mac (The whole CS suite actually) since its takes up a ton of room and I no longer use it.
So I want to know how can I safely uninstall them. I read around and watched some youtube vids. Some people say just throw it all in the trash and empty it. Others say not to do that.
I put in the first disk thinking there would be an uninstall thing there but there wasn't.
So can I just throw it in the trash and go around finding the remaining stuff in my library and/or preferences folder? Is this the only way for us mac users to uninstall programs/apps?
Please help, I need to free up some space.
Thanks!

Rave,
Thanks for the reply.
I have looked at those permissions and either set them or confirmed to myself that they were correct at least 4 times in this crusade so far.
I did find a folder named SLStore_v1 which appears to be empty. Anything there? Should the 2 folders where permissions were set have contents?
I am, currently, re-downloading PSCC. It is going very slowly. I'll see what happens when that is complete or has failed as it has times in the past.
Does the downloading need to happen when I have invoked the Root User? Or, is it the running and set up that's important there?

Help me uninstall cs4 from windows

help me uninstall cs4 from windows I have cs5 and cannot open raw files thru bridge

You can also look in the Windows System Tray for the Bridge CS4 icon and right-click on it. If "Start Bridge at Login" is checked in the menu that shows up, uncheck it to stop Bridge CS4 from starting when you log into Windows, then click on "Exit Bridge."
You can then start Bridge CS5 and launch Camera Raw.

I had to uninstall my photoshop elements 9 and now Im trying to reinstall and its not working pls help!

I had to uninstall my photoshop elements as I deleted a texture and now I am trying to reinstall its just comes up saying that the wizard is saying that it was interrupted and its not installing pls help

Reneeb41086198 without a specific error I would recommend reviewing Troubleshoot installation | Photoshop Elements, Premiere Elements | Windows which discusses common installation troubleshooting processes.
You may also want to consider evaluating Photoshop Elements 13 from Picture editor, edit pictures | Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as it was designed to install and function under Windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 was not available when Photoshop Elements 9 was released.

Help with uninstall

Some time ago I downloaded the trial for Indesign CS4 (I use CS3). I decided not to buy it and uninstalled the demo. Today, I needed to reinstall my photoshop cs3 and tried to do so from the original disk. It would only let me reinstall both photoshop and indesign. Well ok, I'll do that, but then it asked me to insert the Indesign CS4 disk and of course I couldn't so it would not finish the reinstall of photoshop. I no longer have the cs4demo installer so I can't try uninstalling it again. What do I do.

Well, if you want to uninstall all of the CS4 stuff (which is what your post sounds like), then Google for "Adobe CS4 clean script," which will help you remove everything, at which point you can reinstall your Photoshop CS3.

Hi,
Sadly i had the same issue trying to uninstall the SSO App Con...
I also could not repair the install due to another 1001 error.
Instead of uninstalling the program i found the registry file i needed to repair the install and imported it to my registry.
1 Open notepad and paste the following
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MMC\SnapIns\FX:{ce255ef6-9e3d-42c8-b725-95ccc761b9d9}]

2 Save file as .reg
3 Open regedit.exe and import the saved <filename.reg>
This should allow you to use the SSO App Conf.. again.
I hope this helped.

Photoshop CS3 & CS4 crashing on open (iMac 10.4.11)

I've had Photoshop CS3 for a while now and working just fine on my iMac OS X 10.4.11.
All of the sudden it started to crash upon opening it. Bridge opened fine, but when I double-click to open a file in Photoshop, it crashes too.
I have tried Disk Repair and Disk Permissions repair, I have tried un-installing Photoshop and reinstalling it.
I even downloaded the trial version CS4 and that crashes the same way too. I did upgrade the latest versions including Camera Raw. All updated. I do have 2 plug-ins (NoiseNinja & Portraiture) but I uninstalled them in the CS4 version. I also deleted my Photoshop Preference file.
The crash report say:
"2009-10-28 11:26:57.142 Adobe Photoshop CS4[652] CFLog (21): dyld returns 2 when trying to load /Library/ScriptingAdditions/QXPScriptingAdditions.osax/Contents/MacOS/QXPScriptingAdditio ns
SysBreakStr: An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred (primary). Exiting.
Oct 28 11:26:59 iMAC crashdump[654]: Adobe Photoshop CS4 crashed"
The MAC has 4GB of SDRAM and under "System Memory" it says Free: 1.82GB, but under "Disk USage" it says "Space Free: 108.96GB".
Any other ideas? I've been searching through forums, facts and online for over a day now. I'm a photographer in the middle of my busiest week & month of the entire year and this is really crippling my work.
Thank you
J

and where is the rest of the crash report?
Part of the problem might be with /QXPScriptingAdditions -- some sort of Quark addition?

New v7 installation cannot access any help/online features via photoshop

Hi, have just bought new version 7, and having problems when trying to access help, on line support, photoshop elements online and one line learning resources. any online access automatically opens up MS Word 2007 (have Office 2007) which then just shows the hyperlinks via a word doc.
I have reinstalled 3 times, each time, complete uninstall, cleared rubbish bin, registry and temp files etc plus rebooted computer after each installation. I have also shut off nortons virus and firewall before installation. Also followed putting full file installation onto desktop and install from that, again to no change in my access. This is annoying as I would like to have direct access to the help files, and online learning.
Even when the first screen pops up giving you the options to go to organizer, edit etc, anything I click on that will not open any internet web based access.
I am using a fairly new laptop, only a few months old, has Visa Home Premium, Internet Explorer V 7.0.6 and I generally keep everything up to date with updates but confused by this problem.
Any suggestions on the problem would be great. I am a registered user and own all the disc's this was not a download of the program. Have not had this problem before with any versions, including from Version 1.

I wonder if this Adobe tech note applies:
http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_kb409025_en-us
It describes the situation in which the Windows registry settings for the HTTP protocol are damaged, so PSE doesn't know which browser to open when it tries to do some Web operation (such as opening online Help). It seems similar to your situation -- it appears that perhaps somehow Word has been configured as the "browser" on your system!
Since this involves modifying the registry for a core part of your system (handling HTTP), I'd follow the instructions extremely carefully (they included making a backup of the registry). Better set a Windows restore point before undertaking this.

Problems before and after Uninstall and re-install CS4

I went ahead and uninstalled and re-installed CS4 because of freeze ups and other difficulties. Program After Effects is now crashing - see attachment. There is also a problem with an importer plugin (I think) may be related. I can't tell. I have not tried any other projects. I did however, disconnect the Matrox MX02 Mini, but still had problems. The MX02 is now re-connected.
I wonder if installing CS4 on top of CS3 is an issue? I remember having a similar problem goiing from CS2 to CS3. I had to downloader a cleaning utility from Adobe (I think) to remove every bit of CS2 and then run CCleaner.
It's my own fault - trying to upgrade software and hardware at the same time. It's hard to isolate. For now, I'l just have to do with Premiere since it is working. But, I'd sure like to know what's going on.

Did you re-install all other Adobe products as well? If not, then that may be the problem. Uninstalling/ reinstalling only one of them messes with MediaCore and certain otehr functions. The quick fix is to download the manuala (!) update packages for After Effects, Premiere Pro/Encore and Adobe Media Encoder from the support pages and run them. This usually bends things in place. If not, then you will probably have to uninstall again, this time including every Adobe app, use the CS4 Clean Script and reinstall.
