It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon.

  • Problem with FX (CS6) "Could not complete your request due to a program error."

    This only happened after I got the master collection. FX effects in Photoshop CS6 do not work, at all. Attempting to use any of them result in the above quoted "Could not complete your request due to a program error."
    I've trashed the prefs, uninstalled/reinstalled, updated drivers, REFORMATTED MY HARD DRIVE, contacted customer support, and about every other troubleshoot short of sacraficing a goat. No cigar.
    Error log gives me the following:
    " ..\..\sources\UPattern.cpp : 1670 : REQUIRE failed"
    Same error, every time.
    Windows 7, 64x
    16gb DDR3
    AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor [3.61 GHz]
    AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series
    Not running this 'Suitcase' thing. At a complete loss.

    Removing the whole folder worked, which, is good enough for me. I think what happened was a finaggle with the install, as I already had PS installed when I overlayed the master collection on top of it, still doesn't explain it not working after the reformat, might have been linked to my backup/scratch disk in some fashion and broke it. I'm not quite sure how the problem persisted.
    Don't install ps over ps, I guess ^^
    Aha, it was Prefs.
    Thank you! Greatly, been sitting on this problem for months now, no ammount of Googling would help. I can finally go back to work (that I've been sitting on this whole time).

  • Photoshop CS4 - getting error message that states: Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting this message when

    Could not complete your request because of a program error. Getting error message every time I open the program and try to do anything. Have to Force Quit to close. Using a Mac. Your expertise is appreciated!!

    Have you tried removing all 3rd party plug-ins?
    Also, resetting preferences to defaults may help...  Press and hold Command - Shift - Option immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

  • Could not complete your request due to a program error...

    When I am saving a jpeg image I keep getting 'could not complete your request due to a programme error' if i save as, or close and save, or just press save. Please could some one help me solve this! As i have no clue how to!
    many thanks.

    Did you create the file? You can try to save it as PSD file, and then share it with us. Maybe we can find what is wrong with it.

  • Can't open file: "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I have a Photoshop file that suddenly won't open.  Last week I upgraded to CS5--the file had been created in CS3 prior to that.  When I try to open it, I receive this error message (in CS5): "Could not complete your request because of a program error."  I tried to open the same file in CS3; there, the file opens, but as soon as I try to do anything I get the same error message....which, annoyingly, re-appears the second I click "OK," so the only thing I can do in CS3 is force-quit.
    I've used Time Machine to retrieve versions of the file that were saved four days ago, seven days, and several weeks ago, and I get the same message every time.  Even on versions that were last saved with CS3 (before I installed CS5).
    Naturally, this is one of the most important files in my life right now....it's a 300 MB file that contains hundreds of layers and dozens of comps.  So the fact that I suddenly can't open it, after shelling out $1200 to upgrade to the latest and greatest Adobe has to offer, is, to say the least, distressing.
    Any advice will be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    TheWocky

    First thing I would do is investigate hard drive issues and the health of the OS.

  • Error "could not complete your request because of a program error" when editor is launched after PSE12 update.

    Installed PSE12 in July, Installed and operated without issue. Received a message on the iMac 21.5 running OS X 10.9.4 about an update for PSE 12 being available. I downloaded and installed the update. Now when the Editor of the app is launched, I get a message that says "could not complete your request because of a program error". If I click "OK", the editor will usually continue and operate without problem but sometimes it will launch to a full gray screen and with just the border and will not close, can not quit, and prevents the MAC from shutting down. I have the force quit the app to continue to use the MAC. I have tried safe mode and user admin with same error. I can't find any posting specific to this issue. I thought there was a method to reinstall PSE without uninstalling it but I can't find it. Should I just simply uninstall PSE 12 anad start over???

    It is a mute point now. PSE12 finally failed to the point it locked up the MAC. I had to restore the MAC OS from backup to a point before the PSE12 update.
    The MAC now operates correctly and so does PSE12. I don't think I'll be updating PSE any time soon.

  • Could not complete your request because of a disk error CS5.5 Windows 7

    Working on a very large .PSB file, approx 3.5G... Recently tried to open and I got an message that said: "Could not Complete your request because of a disk error"... I am in panic mode. I am 20 hours in and a deadline at the end of the week. Help!

    The error means what it says - your disk had an error.
    You should probably make sure that you have a backup, and a spare disk.

  • Error:  "Could not complete your request because of a program error" (photoshop CS2 9.0.2 on MAC OSX

    Today I started my program (photoshop CS2 9.0.2) and opened a JPG file. When I went to print the file the program crashed and closed. When I restarted the program and went to open the file I got this error message, "Could not complete your request because of a program error".
    I have tried several different file types/sizes and all result in the same error message since the program crashed. It will not open any file I try to open. As I indicated above I am using Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 it is on a MAC with OSX 10.4.11.
    I called Adobe and the Rep directed me to Tech Note 331307 and told me to Re-create the Photoshop preferences files. Which I did and restarted the program, but when I tried to open a file (any file) I still get the same error message so it doesn't appear to be the preferences.
    Does anyone have any info as to what the problem may be and how to correct it.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response. OK... This is the first day I have been able to get back to the problem.
    My system I am running Photoshop on is a Power Mac G4, AGP Graphics ATY Rage 128Pro chip set 16MB VRAM LCD 1280x1024 32-bit color, 500MHz, 1.75GB of memory, 1 MB L2 Cache, 100 MHz Bus Speed. I had installed the latest security update and repaired the permissions the day the problem started.
    Now to day I started the system and went in and created a Guest Account. I logged into the guest account and started Photoshop. Low and behold it worked just fine. So I logged out of guest and logged into my main user account And started Photoshop. Wouldn't you know it.... It works just fine. I can open any file I want with now problems.
    I got to thinking after I had done all of this that I wished I had tried to open a file in Photoshop today prior to creating the guest account to see if it still had the problem in my main user account.
    I did not change anything else on the system and all seems to work fine now. So at his point I am really not sure what the problem was.
    Again thanks for taking the time to respond to this issue.

  • What causes "Could not complete your request because of a program error"?

    I am trying to edit some pictures from a recent shoot and every time I try to open one a message pops up saying, " Could not complete your request because of a program error." What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Welcome to this forum!
    I’m happy to help but can do a better job if I have more information about your situation.
    What version of Photoshop do you have?
    What is the make and model of the camera you used for the shoot?
    Could you also include a screenshot of your entire screen as the error message pops up? To include a screenshot in your post, click the word “Reply” below the post you’re reading right now and then click the camera picture to embed the image.

    Without proper system information and other details like what files you work with  nobody can tell you much. From corrupted prefs to issues with your PS swap file to actual problems with the fiel storage this could be anything.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended Could not complete your request because of a program error.

    When starting Photoshop CS6 I get this error message, Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended  Could not complete your request because of a program error (-- OK --).  This happens on the main screen immediately.  Once I click OK the program seems to be alright.  But some part of it, that I haven't discovered yet, may not function properly.
    I am running Windows7 Professional Service Pack 1 64 bit with Intel i7-4770k CPU and 16 GIG Ram.
    This problem just started recently, everything has been fine up till now.  I must have done something when trying to defragment the Registry or get rid of temp files.
    I have uninstalled Photoshop CS6 and reinstalled it with no effect.  I have tried to run Photoshop CS6 32 bit in Safe Mode, but it will not run.  It hangs up on Reading Memory.
    Is there any kind log file that would tell me what is causing this to occur?
    Does anyone know what might cause this?
    Thank you in advance for any helpful information.

    Did you reset your Preferences and Photoshop tools.  Photoshop Preferences are not removed with an un-install and an Install does not install preferences.  Preferences are created  for a user id when a user ID start Photoshop  and there are no preferences for the user ID.    

  • Could not complete your request because of a program error photoshop cs4

    My first frustration right now is that I can't search the forums... anyone got an answer to that? on the right hand side (if I'm logged in) I type in a search for anything and it always shows no search results found! Why? is the search function not working?
    Anyway, my problem is that when I try to save a multi-layered psd file into psd or jpg I get this error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error."
    What is causing it?
    I checked for updates and PS is up-to-date. I restarted, and it worked great for about 3 saves (different pictures). (I'm basically running through some shots and just doing a quick levels and curves adjustment and running an action putting in my name watermark.)
    After that quick edit and trying to save - same error message again.
    It started suddenly yesterday - after having used PS for about 1.5 years without a problem. I haven't done any changes to it as far as I'm aware.
    Any one seen this before, or have a solution to this?
    Thanks!
    Computer specs:
    Windows 7 Pro - 64-bit
    12 GB Ram
    750 GB OS hdd where PS is installed
    2 TB Media drive where the files are being pulled up from/saved to.
    Intel i7 x980 3.33 GHz
    GeForce GTX 470 with 1280 MB dedicated memory
    Logged in as administrator.

    Did you update or change or plug-in or remove anything else on your computer just before it happened?  Photoshop relies on other system libraries to do things and maybe one of those changed.
    No, I did not change anything; I was editing pictures - from a quadding trip where they asked me to shoot for them - and suddenly I started getting the message on most pictures.
    Hard drives are not nearly full. (.99 TB free on media drive and 588 GB free on OS {C} Drive)
    scandisk error check? I probably need that.. (I've had some problems with BSOD and had the BIOS corrupted recently that I had to flash the BIOS again. Could that cause something like this?)
    How do you reset preferences? Is it the Ctrl + Shift + Alt key immediately after PS starts? I did that and it didn't fix it.
    Saving in odd location? No, I don't think so; I save to the same place I save other stuff and I have a solid directory base and I always follow the same procedures. I save back into the same folder I open the file from and save back to the same filename + "edit". That way I can compare side by side and have a backup copy of the file.
    The only USB device plugged into the computer is a logitech wireless combo of keyboard and mouse. (And a wired USB keyboard that sits to the side and that I use only when the batteries in my wireless dies.
    I can't think of anything that has changed that would cause PS to act like this.
    If I can't get it working soon, I'll re-install. I have the Production Premium CS4 version - can I just reinstall PS or would I have to do the whole suite?
    Thanks!
    PS. I don't know if I was clear enough on what I'm doing: I open anywhere from 1 - 20 pictures at once, and then do a quick level or curve adjustment and save to a different file name. The confusing thing is - some pictures I have no problem with, but others - even though I do exactly the same thing - this error message comes up. I'd say about half of my 107 pictures from the quadding trip refused to save.
    It almost makes it seem like some pictures are corrupt or something - and yet, I'd be really surprised to have soo many corrupted images suddenly.

  • "Error: Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this on a mac?

    I was working on a project and I closed it after saving and closed photoshop. Then later when I came to make another adjustment to my PSD I opened the file and it said "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this? I didn't shut off my mac while saving it. Someone please help

    Okay, I just talked to the person that originated the document.
    When this usually happens to me, it's because I've done something stupid like saved a .jpeg as a .psd. So that's what I tried. I tried a few other extensions as well, so I thought that it was not an extension problem. Well, the originator told me it had originally been a TIFF, which was the ONE FILE EXTENSION I DIDN'T TRY. :\
    Anyway, that fixed it. Usually this error indicates either a corrupt file or the wrong extension, just in case anyone ever digs this convo up later.

  • Opening psd file in Photoshop coming up with "could not complete your request because of a program error"

    I spent roughly 6 hours on a (motion) project in Photoshop, saved as psd, and now every time I try to open it, it comes up with "could not complete your request because of a program error". This really annoys me, for one, it DOESN'T TELL ME WHAT ERROR! How can I get help from Adobe if they have no clue what error it is?
    I'm running windows 8.1  64 bit
    I'm using Adobe Creative Cloud
    I've tried everything people say to do, but nobody else but me seems to be using Photoshop for video editing. I really need this video.

    Does anyone have any other ideas as this is very frustrating.
    Thanks,
    James
