Photoshop crashes when run as normal user

Dear all,
Ever since I installed CS4 Suite with Photoshop Extended, my Photoshop would crash as soon as I open a file. This would not happen if I am logged on as administrator on my Windows XP, but any other type of profile has the problem.
I tried: reinstallation, clearing the Photoshop preference file, testing whether some startup service is causing it, and created new user profiles, but neither helped.
Since, I did not have this problem with the CS3 suite, I assume that CS4 tries to do something that only administrators are allowed, but what ?
Anyone with similar experiences or advice ?
Regards,
WM

I think I might have found something more. I reinstalled the video driver to be on the safe side. Then ran photoshop as administrator, no problem. Then as normal user and I got the video driver message, as well as a crash when opening a file. Then I ran it again as administrator and it was not complaining about the video driver. So maybe photoshop accesses a part of my video driver that due to file permissions is only accessible to the administrator, any ideas of what that would be ?

Photoshop crashes when rearranging layers in layer window.

Photoshop crashes when rearranging layers in layer window. I'm using Photoshop CS4 Extended on a MacBook Pro purchased 5 months ago. I have tried restarting the computer. I am able to rearrange layers with the hot keys.

Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by keeping command-alt-shift pressed on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Macbook Pro crashes when running on battery

Hi.
My Macbook Pro crashes when running in battery. It seems it doesn't happen when connected to the power.
Is there any way to know if it's a battery malfunction?
Because Apple changed the motherboard a month ago or so because Nvidia broke. So it could be also the connector to the battery?
Is there any tests I can run?
Thanks

I would take it back to Apple and have them check it. You may have got a replacement logic board with a problem. Apple usually use rebuilt ones.

Photoshop crashing when I open jpeg or create new

I recently upgraded my Capture One software to v.4 (which included the installation of microsoft .net framework. Now Photoshop crashes when I open a jpeg file or create a new.
I did notice that when it opens the Initializing Type Tool progress bar doesn't show up and I just noticed on the blue start up window something called "Building TWAIN" - I had read in a previous thread about a TWAIN plug in attaching itself to photoshop. Could that be my problem?
How do I find that file?

It's in the plug-in folder!
Since you failed to mention either your OS or PS versions I can't be more specific.

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquis tool.

Photoshop crashes when I use the marquee tool. As soon as I make a selection it crashes my computer (every time!) by either rendering the screen black or sometimes all white. I have to force shut down and restart. I'm using MacBook Pro OS 10.6.8 with Photoshop CS6. I am not in a position to update OS at this time. Is there anything I can do to work around this problem? It's extremely time-consuming and infuriating.
Here's the crash report, if anyone is able to make sense of this, I'd sure appreciate knowing what the problem is.

That is not an application crash - that is a kernel panic, which means there is a hardware defect, a bug in the OS or a bug in a low level driver (like parts of the video driver). Kernel panics are not caused by applications, but by defective hardware or bugs in the OS and drivers.
Resetting prefs may avoid the settings that triggered the crash - but the cause remains in the hardware, OS, or driver code.
Since Apple is not going to update the drivers in 10.6.8, your best bet is to update the OS when you can, and hope the new drivers are in better shape. Unfortunately, it is also possible that you just have a bad GPU or video RAM - and fixing that would require replacing the video card or system (in the case of laptops or all-in-one machines).

my photoshop crashes when i double click, it says that it has stopped working and that i should check online for a resolution, anyone got anything to help me

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.

click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Photoshop crashes when trying to start program

Using Powerbook G-4
10.4.11

When trying to open Photoshop it crashes when
the display window is trying to open and the text:
BUILDING MARK TWAIN
is showing. Then it crashes never making it to
the actual program.
I've tried uninstalling the program and installing
the program several times with no luck.
Thank you for any advice or tech support,

This is actually Photoshop Elements forum. try posting it on Photoshop forum.
In case you have some scanner/printer etc installed in the machine it might be causing issue. Try launching with none of the devices attached and anti virus disabled.

Latest update, photoshop crashes when saving

Ever since the latest security update, my photoshop crashes when saving a file?? Usually 100% of the time, but on occasion it's OK with a really small file.(??)

Hi Susanbombay,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The10.4.6 update changed the AFP specification. PhotoShop CS2 uses the older OS9 spec.Does this happen when you're saving to an AFP mounted volume?
There are a couple of ways to sort this out.
1. save to your desktop and copy the files to the server.
2. roll back the AFP version to the one used in 10.4.5.
(contact off forum & I'll send the files to you)

Test Stand is crashing when running ESS and one of the test fails. I am able to run that same test alone and there are no issues. I am seeing the following messege in the windows event log.

2) Are you calling a dll from TestStand? If so make sure the settings for passing parameters to the dll are exactly correct or it could cause memory corruption. If not, how exactly is teststand calling the test?

Why does system suite pro 12 crash when running file cleaner is running while firefox is installed? If I uninstall firefox then system suite pro 12 won't crash.

When I downloaded the newest version of firefox system suite pro 12 crashes when running file cleaner after I uninstall firefox system suite pro 12 doesn't crash. I have window 7 premium home edition 64 bit.

You should know a few things before before getting started:
1. Registry "cleaners" and "system optimizers" like SystemSuite are very unreliable, cause more problems then they propose to fix, have little to no benefit, and are somewhat of a scam. Running them on a system is almost guaranteeing a crash or hiccups somewhere along the process. running them is never a good idea. all you need is a good, simple, free anti-virus (like Microsoft Security Essentials), and use the built in Windows Utilities to clean and sped up your computer if needed.
2. This is a Firefox forum, so if you are having a problem with SystemSuite, we might not be able to help you.
I'll give you a few things you can do to see if this is just a Windows problem:
Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): [http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/].
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.
Plus, I'd strongly recommend removing systemsuite and any other "optimizers" you might have.
