My Photoshop CS3 stops working immediately upon loading

A pop up appears saying it has encountered a problem to stop it working correctly.  I've tried to reload the software to repair it, which I'm told has been successful, but when I try to load CS3 again the problem is still there.  Please can anyone advise?  I've been successfully using CS3 for years and have never encountered this before.

  • Why did my copy of Photoshop CS3 stop working? The message tells me that Adobe has stopped licensing it. I love it. I want to use it. How?

    My copy of Photoshop CS3 has stopped working. I love it. I am very familiar with it. I paid hundreds of dollars for it. When I click on it (W/my MAC) I get a message that reads: "You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the product by contacting Adobe Customer Support."
    So how do I repair it so it works again? I've called the "Chat" forum three times and they do nothing. Please help...I use this Photoshop CS3 for work.
    I have the serial number, but not the original disc which was damaged.
    Thank you in advance.
    Rob Taylor
    I am trying to run it under Mac OS 10.9.5

    The simplest way to clear it up is usually a re-install. Here is a link to the installers: Download CS3 products. Have your serial number ready.
    If this fails, I am going to direct you to this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1714695 Start at post #11.

  • Photoshop CC stops working after using Load Files into Photoshop Layers in Bridge CC

    Okay, so basically I selected some 40 images in .bmp to load into Photoshop, but it stops working and closes. I don't have any other versions installed and I already tried installing it again, with no avail. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Should I also try installing Bridge again?

    I run Windows 7 Ultimate, I have 2.00GB of RAM with 1.74 usable, and I selected 40 images, each about 2MB.

  • Photoshop CS3 stops working shortly after startup? Help!

    Sometimes it stops working during startup, but for the most part, it starts up and when I go to open a new canvas or open a file it stops working and has to be closed.
    It just recently started doing this, and I've tried getting rid of it and reinstalling, and resetting the prefrences, but it keeps happening.
    Is there anything I can do to fix this?
    I've got Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit English.

    I got it on the web, and I've never updated it because I've never had an issue in all the years I've had it
    I did the shift/alt/ctrl tonight, and it didn't make a difference. I don't have any plug-ins for cs3. I'm up-to-date with computer updates as far as I know. I clean out my internet cache all the time, and I'm not sure how to do font validation.

  • Photoshop cs3 stopped working

    When I try to poen a file a receive an error image "the specified module could not be found.C:\programFiles\common Files\adobe\adobe Version CyeCs3|3.1.0\VersionCueUI.DLL". When I tried to reinstall it, I only end up having only DreamweaverCS3 reinstalled. The rest failed.
    Do I uninstall before reinstalling it?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    This error can be caused by a failed update to the Version Cue Client. Please follow the steps in the technical document http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403266.html
    Hope it helps.

  • Photoshop CS5 stopped working

    I downloaded and installed the CS5 Design Premium suite. (I already had CS4 installed and working on my computer.) I used Photoshop (64 bit), Bridge, InDesign and Illustrator. I have opend and closed each of these programs several times. I have used PS CS5 extensively.
    Suddenly, Photoshop CS5 won't load. Bridge, InDesign and Illustrator still work. But I get an error message "Photoshop has stopped working" right at the end of the initialization.
    I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium on an Intel i7 920 processor with 6GB of RAM. I have 750 GB free on my primary HD.
    I tried deleting the preferences, the workspace preferences, the workspace I created and everything in the Workspaces(Modified) folder. Same error message.
    I am using a Wacom Intuos3 tablet. I was getting some odd behavior with it, so I installed a new driver. As far as I know, that's the only change made to my computer.
    I'm going to try rolling back the driver. Any other ideas?
    Thanks,
    Rod

    Barry,
    Thanks for your quick response.
    I was able to restore the computer to an automatic restore point from this afternoon. (First I had to disable part of Norton.) After that, Photoshop would load. But then my tablet was dead.
    I downloaded and installed the 6.1.4-3 version of the driver, not the latest one that I install the first time.
    Now both are working. I don't know if there is a conflict with the  6.1.5-3a version of the driver or if something else caused the problem.
    Take Care,
    Rod

  • The editing feature of photoshop elements stopped working what is the solution

    the  editing feature of photoshop elements stopped working after i installed nik efex pro wacom pen.

    You need to remove third party plugin and try launching. You should find it in plugins folder either here C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Plug-Ins or C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\Locales\en_US\Plug-Ins
    Else try skipping the loading of thirdparty plugins like below:
       1. Close Elements.
       2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl/cmd + shift as you click Editor/Edit.
       3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message to skip loading of 3rd party plugins..Click yes and check.
    Thanks,

  • Creative Cloud Illustrator & Photoshop 'has stopped working' - 'windows is checking for a solution..

    Hello,
    Up until recently, Photoshop & Illustrator stopped working. When I would open the program it would begin to load and then come up with the message ' Adobe Photoshop has stopped working'
    After which there would be another message ' Windows is checking for  solution to the problem'
    and then finally ' A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will lose the program and notify you if a solution is available.'
    Indesign on startup seems to load normally and is fine.
    Do help, time is of the essence.
    Thank you,

    This is the simplest fix, if you're still having a problem with it.  I had the same problem, am running Windows 8.1.  Just be sure to reboot after you copy the dll (dynamic link library) file indicated.
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    Let me know if you have a problem.

  • Problem on flash, cannot play movie error(Adobe Flash CS3 stop working)... help guys...

    Just a minute ago my .fla file can be played. But after several minute when I added movie clips and animations. It just crashed down I guess, Adobe Flash CS3 stop working. I'm using Microsoft Vista operating system. I have an antivirus subscription which is McAfee with automatic update. I think it's a virus or what? I dunno what to do. I got a long way already with my animation on my file. When I will start from the very beginning it would be a mess and it will consumed a lot of time.
    Four to five attempts of testing the movie:
    error msg: Adobe Flash CS3 stop working.
    After several minute, test the movie again:
    error msg: Flash CS3 memory overload, I dont know the exact error message.
    I inspect the microsoft dialog and views the problem, it says APPCRASH, Flash.exe and has several .dll and other components did not load.
    Need help,
    Godspeed us all,

    first, open flash without opening a fla.  if it opens ok, create a new fla and save it.  close flash and reopen the new empty fla and test it.
    if that all works ok, open your project fla.  save it with a different name.  close flash, reopen the renamed project fla and attempt to test it.  any problem?

  • While trying to open printer properties, Adobe Photoshop CC stopped working. How can we resolve this?

    Hi everyone,
    I've some problems about Adobe CC Series. For example, when I'm working in Photoshop then try to open printer properties, Adobe photoshop cc stopped working. Illustrator and InDesign have same problem. I've not got this problem in Adobe CS6 Series. Can you help me pleae?

    Hi Gguadagno,
    For the problem that the issue is not happening on a different Account, Adobe does have a KB trying to save your orriginal account:
    Windows:http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-unexpected-behavior-user-account-2. html
    Mac:  http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-unexpected-behavior-user-account.ht ml
    Folowing these steps should actually result in either that you are able to work on your original Account, or that you at least did everything possible (according to Adobe) to save your account.
    You should not be required to use a Second Email for using Photoshop, This does not make much sense, Your AdobeID and OS Account are (or at least should) not (be) linked to eachother.
    Hopefully this will help you to work with the original Account again.
