Photoshop CS3 Extended Not Responding after Installation

A couple of days ago, I purchased a copy of CS3 Extended and was ecstatic. I got home and installed it on my computer, only to find that when I opened the program, it would just not respond, so I was left with a white window. I was afraid it might be the software, but my dad tried it on his computer, and it worked just fine. I'm really not sure what setting or anything might be causing this issue. I've read the troubleshooting from cs3, but it did not appear to help at all. Any help would be appreciated. I'm also willing to post computer stats or whatever may be needed in determining the problem.

Make sure you download the dot release (10.0.1).
And all white display sounds like 2 bugs we know of: video card drivers (common), and a flaw in some Pentium4 processors with Hyperthreading (an updated BIOS can patch around it).

Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

Hello,
When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
Duo processor 1.66GHz.
Can some one tell me whats going on?

I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
It still won't load up.
How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
from unauthorized program activity"
And SP started up with no problems.
BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
What are your opinions on this?
I would love to hear your thoughts.

Photoshop CS3 Extended not Responding

The problem I have with my software is when it has finish loading and I open a new document, the cursor or arrow appears as the hand tool and no matter what other tool I try to choose it never changes. If choose to uses brushes it still remains as a hand tool. Whats up with that. I tried restoring to default settings and clearing history nothing happens.

Make sure you don't have a dialog window open off the desktop somewhere. I had that happen once. The levels dialog kept opening just off the left side of the screen and I had a permanent "dropper" tool. No other tools would respond until that window was closed. I fixed the problem by resizing the desktop resolution while the dialog was open to force all active windows to snap back onto the screen.

Photoshop CS3 install - not responding at startup

Guys,
Just got a new machine at work and I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS3 from disc. Everything looks like it installs smoothly, but when I try to launch PS, it just hangs with a grey background and finallly says "not responding". I've tried to hold down ctrl-alt-shift to get the preferences menu, but nothing ever pops up. I also looked in AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings but there are no files located in this dir.
I am admin on my machine so everything should've installed correctly. It ran perfectly on my old machine which I installed from the same disc as I'm using now.
Any ideas?
TIA!

Two additional ideas:
1. Visit the web site of the maker of the video card in the system and get their latest display driver. EXCEPTION: If it's an ATI GPU, get their Catalyst 11.7 release, not 12.1, which has been shown to be buggy with Photoshop CS5+.
2. Force a Photoshop preferences reset by pressing and holding Control - Shift - Alt immediately after cold-starting Photoshop. If you're fast enough, and you have to get them down very quickly, it will prompt you to confirm deletion of the current preferences set, which will lead to a full return to defaults.
If you don't see an immediate "Delete preferences, are you sure?" type dialog, close it all and try again. You have to be really quick.

My Photoshop CS3 is 'Not responding'

Hi all.
I havent been using my photoshop (CS3) for the past month because everytime I try to access it, it starts up but doesn''t show the interface (only the window). I would wait for the interface to display but it never. When I click on the window, it ends up 'not responding', then I'd have to close it. I've also tried re-installing it but that doesn't help. My RAM is 2G, 1.6GHz AMD processor. I've used it before on the same system.
Please help

Try a Preferences Reset first:
Press and hold Cmd - Shift - Opt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.

Photoshop CS3 doe not respond.

Hi,
I am using Mac OS X 10.5.8. Powerbook G4. I can open PS CS3 but once I click to open a file, it hangs and the program does not respond. I tried changing the performance memory usage to 50% but that did not help. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program too. I'm still having a problem. Any suggestions?

What OS/Version are you on?
Did you try restoring all your prefs? http://adobe.ly/PS_Prefs

Satellite L450D not responding after installation of camera software

Hello,
I've just this month bought a L450D back from the UK. Yesterday I tried installing Olympus Digital Camera Software but once installed wouldn't work. Olympus site claim is compatible with Windows 7 but I decided to uninstall software. I'm wondering if I uninstalled something I shouldn't have because not responding now.
I've got a message - Windows Explorer has stopped working with 2 options: Check online for a solution and restart the program or Restart the Program
Problem is curser wont respond with the touchpad. Tried FN + F9 a couple of times with no response. Connected mouse, curser moves but wont respond to comand
Any ideas?

Hi
That means the Olympus Camera Software is causing this problem?
Hmm Have you tried uninstalling the software in safe mode? Therefore go in advanced boot menu (F8) and select safe mode. Then try uninstalling Olympus software usual.
Furthermore you can try uninstalling with special tools like CCleaner. I often use it because it cleans the registry and others.

Photoshop CS3 Extended won't recognize QuickTime installation

Hi,
using Photoshop CS3 Extended, I tried opening an animated GIF today without success. After some forum searching I found I had to import it as video into layers.
When I tried that I got this message:
"Could not complete the video frames to layers command because QuickTime version 7.1 or later is required."
I have QuickTime installed, the newest version (checked for updates and found none), and it works normally. This computer is just about 2 months old, so it's not an out-of-date installation of QuickTime, either.
I am running Windows XP Pro.
How does Photoshop determine whether QuickTime is installed or not?
Any other ideas?
I'd rather avoid re-installing programs (especially QuickTime) if there's an easier fix for this.
Thanks!

Richard.
There was a problem with QT 7.4 and the Digital rights Management segment that conflicted with After Effects and Premier. There was an almost immediate update from Apple to 7.4.1 (6?) which fixed this problem, there may infact have been another update since then although from memory this was just an itunes update.
I'd update to the latest version which will more than likely fix the problems. If as you said you have the latest version then try uninstalling Quicktime and reinstalling it rather than using the apple updater.

Photoshop CS3 Extended Keyboard Shortcut Not Working

I installed the CS3 Master Collection that included Photoshop CS3 Extended. I've used Photoshop for going on a decade and I find the CTRL+ALT+I keyboard shortcut really handly to pop open the Image Size window.
Now, in this new version (don't after a clean format, reinstall of my XP OS) the shortcut no longer works. I check and it still has CTRL+ALT+I listed next to Image Size in the drop down menu as the proper keys, but it does not work.
Anyone having this issue?

I tried resetting the preferences but to no avail.
I'm avoiding having to do an uninstall/reinstall like the plague so If I can find what's causing it and fix it manually that would be preferred.
I have thought about running the Adobe updater but I'm concerned that it may cause more problems that it would fix (as this has happed to me before with other apps). Everything else works great and this is the only issue I've noticed.
Does anyone know if the update for Photoshop CS3 Extended addressed his issue (or knows of another cause that might be behind it)?

Bridge not functioning in PhotoShop CS3 Extended

I deactivated Photoshop CS3 on a computer I was no longer using and installed it (CS3) another computer. I activiated CS3 on the new computer. However, when trying to use Bridge, I get a message that says that Adobe no longer supports Bridge Home and Bridge does not function on the new computer. Is there anything I can do to get Bridge to function as part of CS3 Extended?

Thanks, that worked.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended installed but not working

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended was added to my computer when I bought it in Thailand.
Now (I am no longer in Thailand) I want to use it but I can't seem to open/do anything.
Even when asking for help with the 'Help' button it states that "There was an error in initializing the Adobe Help application. You may need to re-install the applicaiton and the Help componen".
How do I do this? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Eline

Haha... I like the honesty!
I was in bad need for a computer and went to one of those fancy, big shopping malls recommended to me by a couple of friends. I didn't even know I had Adobe Photoshop until today. I am not sure I really got screwed or things just work differently. The computer is a little strange... (I can write in Thai สกร่ฟส กส่ฟกส า่ฟส ่ if I would like to) but so far it's ben okay.
Anyways, what would you suggest I do Mylenium?
