Photoshop CS3 Closes as soon as it opens...

Hi all,
I have PS CS3.
Its been working fine for as long as I can remember. However the last time I used it I tried (for the first time) browsing using the Adobe dialog, instead of OS one, and also using Browse... to view files. The browse dialog never appeared, but I thought nothing of it at the time.
Since then whenever I try to open PS it flashes up for a second, the seems to close itself, before the splash screen even appears.
Anything know whats causing this? Ive uninstalled my flash 9 player, which was recently upgraded, thinking it might have been the cause.
Any and all help is appreciated,
Thanks,
John

Photoshop CC closes as soon as it opens

I recently purchased Adobe Photoshop CC, but every time I try to execute the app it simply closes straight back down. No error messages and I don't know where to find any logs
I've tried reinstalling the app
I've tried using the Adobe CC cleaner and reinstalling, but no success.
Any ideas?
Running Win 7 x64

Greetings
Yes, I see the splash screen
No I don't see any errors during install
I have tried disabling MSE and this made no difference
I tried running as an administrator again without success
The only failures I can see in the log are to do with Proxy errors...:

Photoshop CC closes as soon as it starts

Photoshop CC closes as soon as it starts. I can see the splash screen & even the window opens up for about 3 secs. If I access any menu during this time, the window remains open. I can even access items under menu like preferences. But once I exit from the menu, Photoshop CC will close automatically. I'm using illustrator without any problem. If I sign out from CC app, when I start Illustrator it tells me that it "Requires sign in". But Photoshop does not give any such prompt regardless of whether I'm already signed-in in the app or not. Photoshop never worked for me from the day I got it. I've checked to see if it's a broken font problem & it doesn't seem to be so. I'm using these softwares on a Mac Book Pro with OSX Mavericks. I can't find any error log. Photoshop closes without any error message.
I need this resolved at the earliest. Thank you.

HT5100 Itunes u just opens and closes immediately when I try to use it. It worked previously, and now it doesn't. I tried uninstalling it and then installing it again and it still closes as soon as I open it. Other apps do not do this. What should I do?

iTunes u closes as soon as I open it. What should I do?

I would start with this FAQ Entry first, if you have not done so yet: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/792580?tstart=0
It starts with a checklist for getting PrE set up properly, then moves into tuning up one's system and OS (you have done a lot of that already), and then goes into troubleshooting tips. Note: those tips rather work up quickly in "degree of difficulty," and DO become quite technical, but things like the "Finding Clues" link will give some tools, that might prove useful, like the use of Windows' Event Viewer to track down issues.
One of the first things to look at would be your video driver. I would go to the video card's/chip's mfgr's. Web site, and check for a later driver. Do not trust Windows, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver. If there is not a newer video driver, or it will not install properly on your system, be sure to check with the HP Web site, as HP, Dell, Lenovo, and some other mfgrs. will re-package video drivers to suit their specific setup.
One troubleshooting technique, that might prove useful (however, those deleted programs bother me a bit here), would be to create a System Restore Point for now (see Windows Help for doing this with your particular OS version). Then, boot to Safe Mode, and choose an older System Restore Point, from when things did work. This might take some trial-and-error, to get back far enough. Test. At the worst, you will only have lost a few minutes, as you have your new System Restore Point for now, to fall back on.
Good luck,

Premiere CC always closes as soon as it opens.

Premiere CC always closes as soon as it opens. If I exit or close the welcome window the program shuts down. When I restart the program again the welcome window still appears. I changed to 'do not display in preferences and still shows on open. Any ideas? This happens every time. If I chose start new project program opens.

Please sign out from Premiere and sign in again. If that doesn't fix the problem, try this:
Sign out from the Creative Cloud app and Quit it (Quit option will be available after a few seconds).
Now move the following folders to desktop:
1) SLCache
Windows: OS Drive\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
2) SLStore
Windows: OS drive\ProgramData\Adobe
Mac: Library/Application Support/Adobe
3) OOBE
Windows: OS Drive\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe
Mac: /User/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Now launch Premiere Pro and sign in with your Adobe ID.
NOTE: Make sure your Anti Virus/Firewall is not blocking any Adobe activation servers. Alternately, you can also check your 'hosts' file for any changes.
Please report back if this doesn't work as well.
Thanks,

An upgrade for my IPod 3rd gen and now all my APPS close as soon as they open, except for the first page and the bottom line.

I just downloaded the latest upgrade for my 3rd gen IPod and now most of the Apps close as soon as they open. Only the first page of Apps and the bottom line will operate. Does anyone know of a solution. I checked with common problems and I don't have other Apps open.

If the ipod was completely drained of power, you have to leave the ipod connected to a power source (Like your PC) for up to an hour before it will have enough power to power up and be seen by windows and iTunes.

Photoshop CS3 Taking a Long Time to Open

This is a message for anyone whose Photoshop CS3 is taking a really, really long time (2 or 3 minutes) to load, and gets stuck on reading the Preferences.
YES, I DID try trashing my Preference file, and letting Photoshop rebuild it. But that did not work. It still got hung up on loading Photoshop.
What I found was that, somehow (and I'm still not sure how), I had many, many, many duplicate Tool Presets for all of my tools. They were duplicates of the default Tool Presets. In some cases, there were 50 or 60 duplicate Tool Presets for certain tools (i.e. Crop 8x10).
I used the Preset Manager to DELETE all of the duplicate Tool Presets. I did not just trash all the presets, because I wasn't sure which ones were custom presets that I had set up, and I wasn't sure if I had saved all my custom ones.
After deleting all of the duplicate Tool Presets, Photoshop CS3 now takes SECONDS to open. It's opens very quickly.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Dave.

Photoshop CS3 Camera Raw Update: unable to open Nikon D5200 Raw files

I have a Nikon D5200, so I cannot view my raw files (.NEF) files in photoshop CS3 and I downloaded the Camera Raw 4.6 update, and installed it using the manual installation instructions found here: Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 4.6 update. After restarting photoshop and attempting to open a .NEF file, I still receive the error "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. I have also tried previous updates (4.5 and 4.4.1) and they have also not worked. How can I fix this?

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The D5200 is supported in Camera Raw 7.3 and later. Older versions of Camera Raw cannot read D5200 Raw files.
Raw 7.3 is only compatible with CS6, CC or CC 2014
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
So you'll never be able to open Raw D5200 files in CS3.
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
Choices: buy CS6 or join the Cloud.
Free alternative: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all D5200 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

Illustrator & Photoshop CS3 Freeze When I Try to Open a Document

I have CS3 installed, and just since yesterday, when I open photoshop or illustrator and then try to open a document (just from file-open), the entire program freezes and won't let me click anywhere. I have to ctrl-alt-del to get the program closed. I have restarted my computer numerous times. If I don't have photoshop or illustrator open and go to my computer and find the file I want to open and double-click on it, it will open that document. But while that document is open, if I go to file-open, it then freezes again. Anyone know how to fix this?

That is I take it Pages '06? Which is a bit long in the tooth.
I'm trying unsuccessfully to find the minimum requirement for OSX 10.6, but yours may not be compatible with Snow Leopard.
Your contacts are no doubt using either Pages '08 or Pages '09 which as later versions can open yours but you can not open theirs.
Updating from Pages '06 is a no brainer IMHO.

Photoshop CS4 closes on file creation / file open

Hello,
I am running Windows 7 with 64-bit operating system. My CS4 suite has been working happily for over a year. One day Photoshop developed an issue where it will open the program, and remain open until a file is created, or a file is opened. The file will open long enough to cause the program to shut down "due to an unexpected problem". I checked for up dates, rolled back the drivers, and check all the forms to no luck.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any solutions?
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.
Along with Noel's questions, have you added a networked printer (set to default), since when things worked?
Also, one test would be to create a manual System Restore Point for now, and then reboot to Safe Mode, and choose a System Restore Point, from when things last worked (may have to try a few, so be patient), then reboot. Test. This ARTICLE goes into more detail.
While that will not tell you WHAT changed, it might give you a time frame, and then you can do detective work.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - I'd place my bet on the video driver, but that is one of the most "usual suspects."

Photoshop CS3 locks up when trying to open an EPS file

Hello everyone. I have a problem with CS3 locking up when trying to open an EPS file. The files were created in Quark 4.0. Not sure if it has anything to do with my new computer, which has Microsoft XP 64 bit. There's another computer in my office which has CS4 that can open these files. Please help..!! Thank you.

Try installing a PostScript printer on your XP64 system. For some reason this often seems to fix issues with EPS handling...

Ical closes as soon as i open it

I just got a new macbook pro today and i synced it with my gmail calendars and now as soon as i open the ical app it crashes.

"upgrading" to 10.4.11 on my home iMac ended up breaking Safari (so 3.0 crashed every couple pages). Someone suggested just "upgrading" to Leopard to fix the problem. Good news, Safari is much more stable (still a few crashes tho) on the home iMac.
However, for some reason, just having that machine upgraded to iCal 3 keeps iCal 2.0.5 from staying open on my office Mac. I've turned off publish/subscribe and logged out of .Mac, but it still won't stay open (running 10.4.11).
Considering moving the work machine to Leopard, too, but wondering what else will stop working, like something critical to actually getting work done.
HELP! Apple! Fix iCal!
