Photoshop CS v.8 open windows in Windows 7 cannot be moved, maximized, or closed

I just installed my Photoshop CS Version 8 into Windows 7 on a new PC. When the program is opened, the File Browser icon does not toggle, and I have to go to File menu to open Browse. The browser window now cannot be moved, maximized, or closed. The same applies to any image that is opened. Notwithstanding, all the functions of Photoshop are working OK. Since Adobe no longer supports this version, I need solution advice from anyone.

To All the Answers,
I tried all that was suggested and none of them worked. I wish Adobe would come through with an answer!?

  • Photoshop CS3 Won't Open Files in Windows 7 64-bit

    Hi All,
    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on my desktop. When I try to open an image file in Photoshop CS3, the program hangs and never opens it. I have attemped PSD's, JPG's, GIF's and PNG's.
    I have right-clicked on the program and selected to run it as an administrator. I have set up a compatibility profile as Windows XP SP3. I have tried both at the same time and there's been no change.
    Any thoughts how I can conquer this beast??
    Thanks!

    Change the default printer to something local, and that you know is available (either a PDF print, or an attached printer).
    The most common cause of this is a remote printer that isn't available, and the driver takes it's sweet time returning.

  • Photoshop CC won't open JPG files, Windows 7 64-bit SP1. I get no error message at all. Very annoying.

    I get the SAME behavior on my laptop. This happens with Bridge also. My desktop and laptop are both Core i7 3d gen machines. I had to resort to GIMP to get some work done. I tried updating  to the latest PS CC but it failed to update with error U44M1P7. Any ideas if the update will fix this and I should keep trying to get it installed?

    The error message means a Photoshop File is corrupt you need to re-install Photoshop, You can do that right on top of your current install. That will back level CC to 14.0. When you the use CC ment Help>Updates it should be updated to 14.2.1 and all you add ons a r activation will still be intact. Download CC direct installer follow the download instruction else you will be denied access.  Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools

  • Acrobat Reader window in Windows 7:  Menu bar disappears, window cannot be moved or resized.

    The problem appeared when Acrobat Reader XI was installed; uninstalling it, and re-installing Acrobat Reader X, didn't solve the problem:  Once a document is loaded into the reader, the Windows' menu bar is overwritten by the Reader toolbar; the window then cannot be moved, resized, or closed, and menu items such as "File" and "Edit" are unavailable.  This happens only with Acrobat Reader, and only when there is a document being viewed.  I suspect something in the Reader XI installation process clobbered a Registry entry, and it has remained clobbered

    Please update Kaspersky (KIS 2015) to its latest version 15.0.1.415 and that should fix the issue.
    Refer the Kaspersky forum thread: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=307391&hl=Adobe

  • Photoshop 7 will not open - Windows 8.1

    This issue began in Windows 8.
    One day Photoshop 7 just stopped opening. It would start to load things and I would get some sort of error, which was pretty generic when I looked it up.
    ImageReady works ok, but does not have the features I need.
    I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop 7. It did not help, the error was still there.
    I was hoping upgrading to Windows 8.1 would clear out whatever file was stuck that was preventing Photoshop from opening.
    Now I do not even get an error, Photoshop starts to load and then simply stops.
    The load screen shuts off when it is displaying
    Initializing ICC entries...
    or at
    Initializing Color Preferences...
    If I try to open it several times eventually Windows just says a problem caused the program to shut down and my only option is to close the program.

    I would go to
    C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings
    drag the whole Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings folder to the Recycle Bin and then try starting photoshop 7
    (the preferences are not reset on a reinstall of photoshop)
    As far as the 7.0.1 update, were you ever able to update to 7.0.1 on windows 8, before all the problems started?
    (before you upgraded from windows 8 to 8.1)
    If you go to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0
    is the Photoshop.exe named the same way?

    Hi,
    It seems this is a Microsoft related. You are referring on how to set JPG Image in Photoshop Elements by default. You may try visiting Microsoft's Support page http://support.microsoft.com/ for you to get the correct information/help you need.
    Thank you.

  • After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

    I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
    Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
    If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
    Help....!!!!!!

    Hi PE
    Yes, but nothing happened.
    I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
    However, it did not work.

  • Photoshop opens a separate window every time i select edit original in InDesign

    I'm running CS5 and have a problem when editing linked files from InDesign.
    As an example:
    • I have an InDesign file that has a Photoshop file linked to it.
    • I need to edit the linked file so i use the 'Edit Original' function in the Links Panel - this open the link in Photoshop.
    • I edit and save but leave the file open
    • InDesign updates the change but i need to change something else
    • I use 'Edit Original' again but instead of taking me straight back to the PSD file i was just working on, Photoshop opens a new window that i am supposed to make changes to
    • If i was to make 5 changes, there would be 5 separate windows open in Photoshop
    • Closing the file at the end of each change isn't an option as some Photoshop files exceed 1.5GB
    Any suggestions...?

    I'd expect a poweruser to go to their Keyboard preferencepane to enable standard F keys.
    When you buy an Apple computer without loading it with software when would you use those keys? I can't think of one application that uses it, other than the obvious things like CTRL+F2 and the like that hardly anyone uses and I'd consider only there for strict keyboard jocks. After years of new computers having to disable the hide dock shortcut for feather it shouldn't be a crazy thing to expect someone to find their keyboard preferences if they demand that functionality. Heck, even Adobe just dropped that shortcut in CS4.
    Either that or ask for apple to make 140 key keyboards.

    Photoshop Elements won't open. I have tried re-installing. I have windows pro 7

     
    Try making a direct desktop icon for the Editor and see if you can launch the program directly from the desktop.
    Right click anywhere on the desktop and select New à Shortcut
    Browse to Computer OS C:
    And find the PSE Editor application in Program Files or Program Files (x86) on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
    C: à Program Files à Adobe à Photoshop Elements 9
    Within the Photoshop elements 9 folder find PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe (with the blue icon)
    Select that file and click Next.
    Then click Finish.
    You should now be able to launch by double clicking on the new desktop icon, bypassing the welcome screen.

  • .jpg saved in Photoshop can't be open in windows other than using windows photoshop

    Hey guys
    i have this interesting problem.
    The files i saved as JPG in Photoshop (CS3 for Mac) can't be open by a windows PC's normal application for viewing JPG. it can only be opened by Photoshop in Windows.
    Another peculiar thing. I compared a jpg file i received from a friend and a jpg file i created from my photoshop in my mac..
    By default, preview (mac) opens the jpg file from my friend. BUT by default, photoshop opens the jpg file i created.
    Could it be a saving preference issue?
    Thank you!
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hello guys I am having the same problem. J you mentioned "Check the Windows compatible attachment check box in your Entourage settings." Can you tell me where that check box is located.

    hi, sometimes big images could not open with photoshop.ı can open with windows but cant open photoshop.if ı try to open i am seeing a white image.is there any answer for this problem please.

    Just to assist those who might help you with this, please give the exact version of Photoshop CS6 you are running, for instance CS6 13.0.1.3.
    I had already asked for that in my previous post, but I guess you didn't quite know what I was referencing when I typed "exact version".
    Sorry, I cannot help you myself because I don't deal with that kind of 3D images, don't use Windows, and in all frankness I'm not quite following your last post.
    Also please give the exact model of your graphics card, so they can check whether it is on the list of cards tested by Adobe.
    Thank you.

  • Photoshop will not open after installing window's 7 updates

    I'm in a bit of a dilema, any help is appreciated. My Windows 7 has updates. When it does this, Photoshop will not run. I have reverted the PC back before the update and Photoshop runs fine. The only thing is that the PC will update itself unless I turn the automatic updates off. Does anyone have a fix for this? Photoshop CS2, running on Windows' 7 Home Deluxe edition.
    Thank you,
    Tony

    This is the error message I am receiving. A window pops up when I try to run Photoshop. At the top of the window is the directory entry
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Photoshop.exe
    X Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
    The only problem is that there is no access permissions. I just did the system update and now Photoshop will not run. Any help is appreciated.

  • Photoshop CS4 Crashes When Deleting In Explorer Window

    I'm running Windows 7 with gigs of hard drive space and 9 gigs of fast RAM. Whenever I open a file in Photoshop CS4 Extended (v.11.0.1) the "Open" file explorer window pops up and I then navigate to any image folder. If I'm in this window and see any file I don't need any longer and try to delete it PS crashes. I get the "Photoshop no longer responding" error and it shuts down. Other times it happens while I'm working on a file, sometimes when applying filters. The following error always shows up in the Event Viewer:
    Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 11.0.1.0, time stamp: 0x499bf9b5
    Faulting module name: QTCF.dll_unloaded, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4aa21f2c
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Fault offset: 0x67cec11b
    Faulting process id: 0x1fec
    Faulting application start time: 0x01ca793f11f8305d
    Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe
    Faulting module path: QTCF.dll
    Report Id: 92ee343e-e532-11de-8888-0024e81c8cb0
    I've looked everywhere for an answer and Google doesn't have anything. I did try the following as suggested on other forums for similar crashes:
    Repaired/replaced the QTCF.dll file (Apple QuickTime DLL)
    Ensured fonts aren't corrupt
    Ran diagnostics on RAM, HD and system incl. registry - All OK
    Ensured scratch disks were local and correct
    Deleted PST temp files
    Tried starting PS without preferences
    Reduced/Increased memory allocation
    Installed latest video drivers from ATI
    Reinstalled PS CS4
    Any idea what is going on? This is seriously affected my workflow and I can't seem to find anyone with a similar issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jim

    According to a few google searches the dll has to do with either itunes or quick time. The quick time fix was to go to control panel, programs, click on quick time then repair. If you have itunes install do the same but there might not be a repair option when you highlite.
    Go to the adobe website to see if there is a quick time viewer for Windows 7 64 bit.
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    I don't have itunes or Quicktime installed on either computer. I can't remember if the CS4 Extended disk install quicktime. All I installed off the Disk was CS4 Extended and Bridge.
