Photoshop 5.5 launch problem

I'm no longer able to launch Photoshop 5.5 on my Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion) system. I did a reinstall with same results. All software is up-to-date. The only change has been a second monitor connected to the computer. Since I'm a newbie, I'm not sure this would make a difference. InDesign and Illustrator work fine. Thank you in advance for any help.

Dear Chris:
I just figured it out! The second monitor was turned off so it was launching there.
However, the information you gave me is valuable to consider for future "real" problems.
Thanks again!

Photoshop CS5.1 Crashes Upon Opening: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver-"

Every time I try to open photoshop I get a window that pops up and says:
"Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software.
GPU enhancements can be enable in the Performance panel of Preferences."
Then windows shuts the program down. The details of the problem are:
"Files that help describe the problem:
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\WER70AD.tmp.WERInternalMetadata.xml
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\WER9389.tmp.appcompat.txt

I'm on a custom Asus
I'm using Win7 Home Premium 64-bit
16GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 560 2GB video card
Intel i7 core 2.2 GHz
12 GB of memory
The error happens so quickly that I don't have time to do anything. Please help. >.< I've been on hold for *checks phone* 2 hours exactly. Wow. It is a legit copy and was working last month with no trouble. I've updated the drivers and tried a few solutions that have worked for other people that I found on Google (such as disabling CUDA and setting my "power management mode" to "prefer maximum performance" on my video card) but so far nothing has worked.
Thanks in advance!

It has stopped crashing because somehow it turned off "Enable GL Drawing" on its own because I could never even get a menu open. Not sure how it did that but I am grateful. I still get the error when I open Photoshop up but at least it hasn't crashed yet. At the time when it was crashing I never would have been able to get you the system info due to the speed that it was crashing upon just opening the program. In case you still need it:

Photoshop won't launch, closes on start.

We have photoshop version 5.5 on one PC (XP) and VS 7.0 on another and though they are old they worked happily for years till just lately, now both fail to launch, "Adobe Photoshop has encountered a problem and needs to close" ??? What could be wrong ?
Help is apreciated.

"Are Photoshop and OS fully updated.."
Not ph shop because it can't be opened, OS - yes
" and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, just tried that - no luck 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, can't deactivate beacus can't open ph shop.
system maintenance, I think that is pretty much done font validation, don't know what that is - surely can't be something like that ??)
Looking thru Program files found version 5.0 that wont' open either. Remember, the old versions have been sitting in there for some years with 7.0 working fine. A second PC here has 7.0 on it and it stopped working as well - same behaviour. We have a older PC here as well we hardly use (XP pro as well), it has 7.0 on it which works fine(!!).
Anyone? :O)

Photoshop will not launch

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. I installed Creative Suite 4 Design Standard. Ilustrator and InDesign run well, but Photoshop will not launch. Do I need to uninstall the entire suite and reinstall it again, or can I just reinstall Photoshop?

I downloaded updates from your website and Photoshop is now running.

CS4 works just fine on Snow Leopard (even CS3). Lion has some bugs that
cause problems with older versions. And we need to know more about why you
can't launch Photoshop. What error message do you get?

My InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop will not launch - error number 213:19

Can someone please help me?
After attempting Launch all three applications I was sent error 123:19 and asked to restart my computer however it has still come up.
What does this mean and how do I fix it

I think this is a permissions issue. Are you using an account with Adminsitrator or restricted permissions?
Are the the applications fully patched? That's helps some users with this error. If you can launch any of the CS5.5 programs you should be ale to launch the Adobe Updater from the Help menu, otherwise try downloading the latest patches manually for each application from the Adobe.com website.
Finally, see http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/licensing-problem.html This particular article is for Photoshop Elements, but it appears to be generic in application.
If all else fails, uninstall, run the clean tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3) and reinstall.

Help ma boab did you migrate over your applications and settings from your old computer? It does appear the installer was unable to create the Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder since your current User account did not have sufficient access to either modify they Applications or Adobe Photoshop CS5 folder if it already exists.
If you migrated/copied any files or applications from your old computer then I would recommend running the uninstaller from the Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once you have uninstalled please run the CC Cleaner Tool prior to reinstalling Photoshop CS5. Please see Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html for information on how to use the CC Cleaner Tool.

Photoshop CS4 has a problem loading

I don't know what happened, but today when I launched Photoshop it had a problem loading on the splashscreen when it said "Building TWAIN Menu Items". I don't know what happened, it worked perfectly fine yesterday, but today it just kept getting stuck, I'm running on Vista 64-Bit Home Premium if that matters. There was an automatic Windows update last night, so I though it was that, but when I did System Restore and when I tried un-installing the updates it still didn't work. Any help would be appreciated!

Twain is not supported in 64 bit. Maybe there is a 32 bit driver in the wrong 64 bit folder?
Here, I found this to help you.

Photoshop fails to launch after software update

Photoshop fails to launch after the most recent software update. I am running 10.5.5 on a black macbook. It fails to launch every time. I have activated it with the key code, but never registered. What do I need to do to fix this?

Hi jmoser;
Adobe position on PS CS2 is that it is not compatible with Leopard. They say they have no plans to fix it either. According to them the only versions that are compatible with Leopard are CS3 and CS4.
I some people say they don't have any problems using PS CS2 with Leopard but it doesn't appear this is true for everyone.

Photoshop 7 automatically launches

I recently installed a wireless Verizon modem. Since then, Photoshop 7 automatically launches when I connect to the internet I cannot find anything in Edit to stop it from launching. How can I disable this?

Ed - I have a scanner as well, though the problem is not intermittent.
John - Sorry for not being more specific. I use VZ Access Manager, to connect. I am not using IE or on a website, only connected via my wireless modem to Verizon. It is at this point that PS launches. I have XP professional, and have installed service paks. My scanner is HP 64010. I am not sure what other information you would need, however I very much appreciate everyone's help.

Photoshop won't launch

For some reason Photoshop will not launch.
This is on a G4 dual 867 Mac 1.75 GB RAM Mac OSX 10.4.11
I had CS3 working fine for a long time and things were fine....
but it has recently stopped launching. When it stopped launching I deleted and uninstalled all Adobe products and tried re-installing Photoshop 7.0 that didn't work either. Still won't launch. Repaired permissions and restarted multiple times.
Ran Disk Warrior just for grins... still won't launch.
Deleted all preference files... still won't launch.
tried re-installing again... still won't launch.
Tried launching from a different user account just to see if the user account may be corrupt but it still didn't launch.
Adobe Image ready will run after installing off of the 7.0 disk but photoshop will not.
any ideas?

Here is the crash report... if it helps.

Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver

I rummaged around in here looking at opengl topics and others associated with the above error, but I'm not seeing what I'm encountering (or I am and I don't recognize it!).....
I bought CS4 a week or so ago, and installed it on a system running XP32 with service pack 3, 4GB of ram withe the /3GB switch set, nVidia 8600 GT card (which according to the list is supported), and multiple spindles for images, scratch, applications, and so on. I found other topics earlier so I downloaded the most recent drivers for my video card.
I'm not crashing and burning, but I'm getting some messages...
I opened an image, and while working on it I wanted to do a transform/warp. I got the message that Photoshop couldn't perform the operation because there wasn't enough memory. It didn't crash but I had to shut down CS4 and restart it to do the warp.
Most recently I opened a couple images for a panorama, and while doing the merge I got the message that "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled gpu enhancements." It tells me to check for the latest drivers - I've ALREADY got the lastest drivers. Again, no crash, just the warning. It completed the panorama.
There have been a couple other occurrences of messages of this type, so I'm curious if there's some set of preferences or system settting I need to adjust to optimize things? I've alrady adjusted the nVidia settings because I also run Lightroom and they're having problems too.
I've read the tech notes for the video and such and didn't find any set of optimizations there so is there a set of adjustments beyond the preferences that needs to be adjusted to improve memory and video performance? And if so, can someone point me to them.

As I understand it (suspect at best) XP32 can address 4 gig of memory. the /3gb switch lets the applications get at 3 gig of that. If my video card takes the first 256MB, and XP is guaranteed the other 750 of the 1st gig, and in the CS4 performance preferences I should be giving it from 1462 - 1895 MB (I've given it around 1890), that leaves me with another gig or so... Is that limited to applications or can XP use it? In any case, I'm not crashing, I just get the message every so often about being out of memory. I don't recall ever seeing this with CS3, but new version, new oddities...

Photoshop will not launch. last week I re downloaded and it worked. 6 days later no launch. Is there anything I can do to launch the program that is on my computer?

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem...

Photoshop CS4 file saving problem: When no file name is specified, Photoshop saves file to the root directory of the drive instead of the current folder. It auto names the image with the name of the folder that was active. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I was using "save for web"--not sure if it that matters.

Bug reports should go in the main forum.
And yes, SFW has it's own file code so that is a very important detail.

Could not initialize photoshop because of a problem using the adobe color engine (Win 7)

Was running the lastest version of Photoshop CS5 and added a second quad graphics card and 4 more monitors. Now PS will not start and I get the error message "could not initialize photoshop because of a problem using the adobe color engine."
Computer has 2 NIVDIA Quadro4 NVS420 graphics boards with 8 Samsung SyncMaster 1920x1080 monitors. If I disable 4 of the monitors CS5 starts normally. I do not have to remove the added graphics card. When I extend the desktop again to all 8 monitors I get the error above.
How do I trouble-shoot the problem? Is it Photoshop, NIVDIA or Windows 7?

Well, not exactly a full solution yet (at least for my setup), but I am certain now that this issue is (mostly) caused by nVidia's drivers. You may be able to fix your setup by simply installing the latest drivers for your NVS420 cards (266.45 for Win 7/64 rel. 01/12/2011).
Since you are using two identical cards, this could do the trick.
Caveats - Make sure you:
1. Select Custom Install, the Express Install will most likely not work properly.
2. Unselect the Audio Driver (if available), the nVidia HD(MI) Audio driver could
screw up your speech recognition (if you use it) or other audio software - it did for me.
3. Select Clean Install. If you don't, files like C:\Windows\System32\drivers\nvlddmkm.sys
and several other driver related files will not be overwritten, causing all sorts of neat effects.
4. After the Install is complete, reboot your system whether the Installer prompts you or not.
After testing various configurations, disabling two - six of my eight monitors I am at this point:
I am now using nVidia's lastest and greatest piece of crap (read driver), version 266.58, released just two days ago. After an initial snag with maximized windows extending to the bottom of the main monitor (underneath the taskbar), a re-install & reboot solved that issue.
All three driver versions tested (260.89, 260.99, 266.58) now allow me to start PhotoShop without any problems; providing I first disable the two monitors fed by my onboard graphics (nVidia 780a based), leaving me with six monitors connected to three GTS-450 cards. I can even re-enable the two other monitors once the program is open, and it continues to work fine. However, I must disconnect them again for the next start of PhotoShop.
On an interesting side note:
After disabling six monitors (leaving only two on a GTS-450), I was also able to open and run SoundBooth CS5, which previously would not open, citing the audio driver as the problem. After sucessfully starting SoundBooth I could re-enable all six other monitors (incl. onboards),
and that program now opens and works fine with all 8 monitors connected. [ODD !!!]
Other than Adobe Software, I've had only one other issue with my setup:
When playing online poker at PokerStars, occasionally and quite randomly one of multiple tables would freeze up. I'll try disabling the two onboard monitors for that program as well to see whether the random freezes stop.
Overall, while I think that Adobe produces fine software and nVidia has been in need of an overhaul for quite some time now, I also think that Adobe and nVidia software engineers need to work more closely together to ensure that problems like this don't arise in the first place after a product has been released to the public. IMHO, this is avoidable!
PS:
Here's a link to a great tool for multiple monitors, Display Fusion by Binary Fortress.
I use the free version, it allows you to do cool things like have individual wallpapers for all
your monitors, or stretch a single image across all monitors. With the Pro Version ($25),
you can also add individually customizable taskbars to each monitor, and a lot more.
