Photoshop CS2 not loading

Did a bit of house cleaning on my hard drive and now PS-CS2 won't open.
I tried loading it again but it gets right through the load then comes up with a message to try loading it again.
I got rid of CS3-beta in case that was causing a problem but that didn't help. After loading it about 4 times without any luck I decided to load Photoshop 7.
That loaded ok so I tried again to load CS3 but still got the same message.
I'm out of ideas so would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks

I think you're going to have to be a little more specific about the "house cleaning".

PhotoShop CS2 not loading image

I've been working with CS2 for the past two years with no problem but as of last week, when I open my CS2 and try to open an image, the image does not display in my work area but it displays in my layers menu, nav menu, etc... Is there a setting that was accidentaly changed or did something else happen. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.
Any advice or suggestions?
thanks

The image is probably off the screen.
try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
(A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.)

My photoshop will not load, error message 148.3

my photoshop will not load, error message is 148.3

This is a licensing error. The usual fix is to reinstall the program after running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool. also read this:
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
If you can't fix it, you will have to provide more info like system specs and what version of PS you actually use...

Office 2004 and other Photoshop will not Load

Part #1 - I have Office 2004/Student Teacher Edition. It has 3 liscences. I am installing this program on my new 17inch iMac. However, when I click on Setup Assistant, you can see it load up in the dock and then it never opens. Then I try drag the files to my application and it does drag them, but then when you click on a program such as "Word", it starts to load up (shows up in the dock) then shuts down with no error message. Any clue?
Part #2 - I just also installed Photoshop CS2 and it installed fine...however when I go to open it in my applications folder it does the same thing that Word does...starts to load up shows up in the dock then Shuts Down with any error message.
Does anyone have a clue what the heck this is?
Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Queso!
"1. I recently repaired disk permissions, which took an abnormally lengthy amount of time -- but the computer rebooted without any problems"
There is usually no need to restart the Mac after running Repair Permissions.
Unless you ran it while started up from the install disc.
Or are you referring to running Repair Disk?
Regardless, run Repair Disk & Repair Permissions now, instructions below, and post the results.
THESE ARE THE STEPS FOR USING DISK UTILITY TO REPAIR YOUR HD
1.Insert the System Install disk, Mac OS X CD-ROM disk, or Restore DVD disk, then restart the computer while holding the C key. Use the System disk, of the OS, that is currently installed.
2.Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer contextual menu, on the Menubar at the top of the screen.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3.Click the First Aid tab.
4.Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5.Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6.Click Repair. If DU reports errors it has fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported.
7.When finished, select Quit Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
8.Select Quit Installer from the Installer menu.
9.In the resulting pop-up window, choose restart.
10.After the computer has restarted, you can eject the CD.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
Rerun RP until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.3.x, authored by Michael Conniff
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".
Good Luck!

Photoshop CS2 not working after 10.6.7 update? program error!

Could not complete your request because of a program error. I opened an image RGB and wanted to save it as a CMYK.
Save as and entered new name... thats it! Then the error popped up. The only thing that has changed is the update!
Please help.

If you updated to 10.6.7 then you should (go to your Apple menu at the far left and) check for updates.
There was a problem with some types of Fonts that has been fixed by the Snow Leopard Font update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377
However, always wait after an OS update (true of Windows too) and see if it causes any problems with 3rd-party software, etc. - PRIOR to updating your system And always, always have a full, known-good backup before you update. Especially for any computer that is used for business purposes !
Last but definitely not least, you should know that Adobe CS2 is a Power-PC only application (circa G4 and G5 processors, before Apple moved to Intel processors), and requires Rosetta (PowerPC emulation).
So you should consider any CS2 application running at all, as fairly miraculous.
CS3 was released four years ago, and provided the first Intel-native ("Universal Binary") versions of the CS-suite applications.
Mac OS 10.6 only runs on Intel-based Macs (ie: Intel processor required).
If you are using Photoshop CS2 for any revenue-generating purposes, then it is (and was) incumbent upon you to properly allocate and budget for
upgrades and you should - nay, must - be running a more current version of the software. If your budget does not allow for newer Adobe CS, then you should have kept a legacy system that can run an older Mac OS, and understand that your workflow is living on borrowed time - and you had best keep several old Macs that can still run an older Mac OS and run your CS2 natively.
In no way shape or form is CS2 supported under Mac OS X 10.6 - certainly not in any official way by Adobe !
You could also be irate about not being able to use your 8-track tape player in your brand new car. I'm exaggerating but not too much.
Please read Adobe's response regarding CS3 (not CS2) and 10.6/Snow Leopard:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/08/adobe_snow_leopard_faq.html
With all of this in mind, you should know that your frustrations with Apple and the unsupported and not-recommended interaction of CS2 and 10.6 are misguided. Best of luck to you !

Adobe photoshop will not load on computer???

i just got a new imac with tigar and the leopard update.
i updated to leopard as soon as i started the computer.
then i went to the adobe website and downloaded the trial version of photoshop cs3.
i installed it fine, but when i try to open PS, and error mesage tells me that the licence has ended and to reinstall. so i did, 4 times.
still nothing. what is the problem?
Thanks

i did not load anything on 10.4, when i goto the new imac, i just loaded 10.4 and then immediatly updated to 10.5. i have CS3 on my pc, so i just want to test CS3 on the new mac, to see which runs better. if i like it then i will buy the mac version. so far, my pc will surf the net about 3-4 times faster than the mac. i did not get the mac for net use, only for sound video and photo editing. but i do surf google for images.
right now i am trying to erase and reinstall OX S back to 10.4, then i will try to install CS3 again, then if it works, ill update to 10.5 and see if that works.

Photoshop CC not loading on MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

Photoshop CC is not loading at all after updating my 2013 MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.9. The error message (in German as I am using the German version) says "Konnte Photoshop nicht initialisieren da ein Programmfehler aufgetreten ist" ("couldn't initialize photoshop since a program error occurred") . Application launcher is updated to the latest version and deinstalling and re-installing photoshop CC didn't change anything. What can I do?

Hi michelangelo52,

Cannot initialize Photoshop CS2 "not enough memory" error

I had Photoshop CS2 installed and running fine on a MacBook Pro (10.5.4, 2GB RAM), until it suddenly crashed and now will not open. Gives the error message: "Could not initialize because there's not enough memory." I have 1.5 GB of memory free, and 70 GB of disk space free. I've reinstalled, tried creating a new user to run it, but nothing is working. I've found a couple of mentions of the same problem online, but no solutions. Can anyone help me?

Hi Jen,
I don't know how MacBook works but it sounds like I just had basically the same problem which John Joslin had the correct answer. He said, "Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ at:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0

I have windows vista ultimate so I'm not sure if this will help you but my preferences were at:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings. I just renamed my pref's and photoshop opened right up.
Good Luck!

Photoshop CS2(Not Responding)

My photoshop cs2 program has been running very well for the past year or two. I have started saving files back and forth between cs3( at school) and cs2 (at home) for a school project. All the sudden, as I was painting a background to place in my project (magic wand>move tool) my cursor becomes an hourglass, all panels become blank, and at the top is says Photoshop (Not responding). This has happened 4 times now and I have lost my work each time. Can anyone help me?

This is a generic occurance on any program on windows basically asking you not to touch it until it has figured it out. It is a result usually of system resources being too low, meaning you need to upgrade your computer ideally in order to see less of the problem. If you press Ctrl+k, it prings up preferences. goto the Preformance panle, and if you can, set the memory usage for photoshop to what it says is an ideal range above it. This could help if you don't have anything else running with photoshop. Note that you must restart photoshop for the options to take effect here.
Also note that interactiing excessivly with windows during a "program not responding" period can cause the program to completely fail and loose your work. It is best to leave it along until it goes back to normal, then quickly save your work, then keep working.

Photoshop CS2 Not Enough RAM error message (wrong forum)

For some strange reason, my copy of Photoshop CS2 (macintosh) has started giving me an error message after program start up: could not complete your request because there is not enough RAM. I don't have to do anything. This message pops up about 1 minute after I start the program. The program works fine. I just close the window and go on. I haven't installed any new plug ins or changes to my prefs or hardware configuration. This just started for no apparent reason. It doesnt't refuse to work, it's just annoying. I've tried deleting the Photoshop prefs file and reinstalling the program from the master disc. Didn't help. I'm running OS 10.4.2 on a dual 1.8 gz processor mac with 4 gigs of RAM; Photoshop set to retain 60% of that. Anyone with any ideas about this, or should I just quit whining and go back to work...

Can you tell us which API is failing (error code) and what amount of memory you are requesting? I've seen 'not enough ram' when the entrypoint gets messed up and you actually have a Pipl problem.

Photoshop CS6 Not Loading: Actions & Preferences Errors

Photoshop CS6 has been working like a dream, and recently it has pushed some very large files.
But, upon trying to open Photoshop this morning, I get these two messages:
Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered.
Could not initialize Photoshop because the Preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
          - although the file was still in the AppData...Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Tried to 'restore' Preferences:
Keyboard - CTRL ALT SHFT upon clicking PSD icon
Said 'Yes' to allow changes to system
Still received same two messages
Removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp
          Restarted Photoshop, still received same two messages.
          Tried resetting, CTL ALT SHFT, again still same two messages.
Read Adobe thread to 'rename' the Actions Palette.psp, but keep it in the folder:
I renamed it 'renamed' and left the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp in the folder as well.
Did not receive the 'load actions' error, but
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Left the Actions as 'renamed', but removed the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp file as well.
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Tried CTRL ALT SHFT to reset,
Still received the 'Preference file was invalid' message.
Do I need to do a re-install?
Thanks bunches,

I am having only the single issue:
Could not initialize Photoshop because preferences files was invalid (it has been deleted).
What happened was that I had to do a force quit (Mac OSX 10.8.4) due to Spotlight and Parallels Win 7 running a system slowdown.   I don't believe my new HD is corrupted. BUt there has to be a way to get PShop working again.. I've tried shift start and not loading 3rd party plugins, but nothing is working.
UPDATE: Download and reinstall fixed it after uninstalling and removing preferences. However, you can't use the CC Applications Manager to do so. You have to do a direct download.

Photoshop CS2 not opening files

I have been having this problem for several weeks now. When ever I try to open any file in Photoshop CS2, it just spools the little rainbow circle and never opens the file. THankfully, I still have Photoshop CS on my computer so I can run things through that. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why it doesn't open my files. It can be psd files, jpg files, low res, high res, directly from my computer or from my FireWire hard drive connected to my computer.
Any ideas on what's going on?
thanks in advance!
