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."

Adobe Photoshop CS4 runnig error - cant load files

hi,
ive first time installed adobe cs software in my pc. i have never used this software before nor its previous version.
when i try to run adobe photoshop cs4 - it gives me error after loading for few things that "A required application library failed to load and the product cannot continue, please re-install the application"
ive re installed the application several times but that same error continues.
any help will b welcomed
thank you

OK. This error drove me nuts and I have seen a thousand different "solutions" posted on various forums (none of which actually worked), but I think I found the magic bullet for this problem. This appears to be a result of corrupted/missing language pack files. Here's what I did to resolve it once and for all!
You should already have a folder somewhere with the contents/Setup.exe for CS4 Design Premium
Download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
Unpack the contents to a folder/directory somewhere on your PC
You will NOT be installing the Photoshop CS4 Extended application - only copying some files.
Copy the "extensions" folder from Photoshop CS4 Extended, that you just downloaded to your CS4 Design Premium folder (there should be an "extensions" folder already there as well)
Select yes if prompted to replace existing files/folders.
Double-click the Setup.exe in your CS4 Design Premium directory and re-start the installation of Photoshop from there.
Problem should be solved.

Photoshop CS4 will not read Raw files from Nikon D60. [was: No automatic updates for my PS CS 4 on windows (for reading .Nef files)?]

Hi
I have been using PS CS4 for several years.
Yesterday, I went to PS CS4 help and selected "updates", but I get the message "There are not updates available at this time; Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater".
I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
any idea, please?
thanks

I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?

Photoshop cs4 wrong exif orientation in File Info

I've been playing around with Exif orientation data, and CS4 always shows the orientation as "Normal" in File -> File Info. However, looking at the same EXIF information with other programs (e.g. Picasa), I see the appropriate rotation information, which is consistent with how I took the photos. Is this a bug in Photoshop CS4? I took the photos with an iPhone 4, by the way.

Is there a way for me to upload the file to the forum without stripping the EXIF information? Would be interested if you see the same thing on your Mac.
No; but you can upload it to an FTP server or a service like Dropbox or the free yousendit.com and post the link to it here.

Photoshop cs4-snow leopard-automatically save files with same name.

Does anyone know how to automatically update a file in another folder that has the same name as the current file? (photoshop cs4-snow leopard)

Does this apply to all files you work on?
How are the parallel files being defined – by location relative to the edited ones, filename, foldername, …?
Will an index of the parallel files have to be written into the files’ metadata?
And what’s behind this, why do you need multiple instances of the saved file, if I may ask?

Photoshop CS4 crashing whenever I try to open or create a document

I have had photoshop cs4 for well over a year now and it has been working perfectly up until now. Now whenever I try to open or create any type of image, a window appears saying "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working, windows is searching for a solution." Then photoshop just closes with no error message or anything.
I have deleted my preferences, changed my default printer, and reinstalled multiple times but nothing seems to make any difference.
Can someone please help me???

Some thoughts:
You have filled your HDD's up
You have made a change, hardware or software, that is getting in the way - a System Restore Point might be helpful here
You are running low on resources. Though written for video-editing (more intense than image editing), this ARTICLE might be useful. Note: many of the newer, real-time anti-virus scanning programs have been known to play badly with PS and with PrPro. Do you have any?

Photoshop CS4 closes after launch

I just bought Photoshop CS4 not too long ago and it has been working fine. I started it up the other day and it just came up with the whole "Photoshop CS4 has stopped working" crap. I was having some bluescreen errors due to my memory, and I thought maybe that might have something to do with it, but i got that fixed, and Photoshop is still messing up. Every time you launch it, it will stay on for about 15 seconds, and then I get the "stopped working" message, every time, never fails. I am running Windows 7 if that helps.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Go to Start, all programs and right click on PS CS4. Click on properties, compatibility and check run as Admin, hit apply then OK to close. start PS CS4.
Ensure PS CS4 is updated to 11.0.1
If all else fails reset the prefs by the keyboard method or the manual way by reading this attachment.

Photoshop CS4 crashes with 16 bit files

Photoshop crashes as soon as open 16 bit PSD files. I get no error no warning no nothing - it just crashes, period.
Anyone who's experienced this issue or anyone who would know a possible fix?
I use a freshly installed CS4 Design Premium pack.

With all respect, although you have typed your question very carefully you have contradicted yourself twice. First of all …
Anyway it seems now that 16 bit images open without any issues - after
OpenGL is activated. And true enough, as soon as I activated OpenGL
photoshop shut down on me.
That makes no sense. Does Photoshop crash or not when Open GL is activated?
Photoshop crashes as soon as open 16 bit PSD files. I get no error no warning no nothing - it just crashes, period.
I'm working with even larger files that nears the 1 gig mark but they aren't 16bit
Again, this is a direct contradiction, no idea if you are tryng to work with 16 bit or not.

Photoshop CS4 suddenly stopped recognizing CR2 files

I'm working on a mac.
I could open my (canon eos 5d mark II) CR2 raw files without issues before christmas, now however I get the "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this filetype" error.
I tried updating my raw plugin, both through package download and through photoshop, but the problem still remains.
My plugin version seems to be 5.0.0.178 if that helps at all.

You need at least 5.2 for the 5D mk2. Not sure how you managed to drop a couple of versions, as most people can't even do that if they try!
The best version of ACR for CS4 is 5.7. You can download it here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4680

Photoshop CS4 doesn't recognize RAW-files on MacBook

I recently installed photoshop CS 4 on my MacBook Pro. I have a Sony alpha 330 camera, and photshop doesn't recognize my RAW-files (ARW)
What do I have to download to get my photoshop working?

Are Photoshop and ACR fully updated?
It seems support for RAW from Sony A330 was added with ACR 5.4.

Photoshop (CS4) crashed and now won't open

Hi,
I'm been spending most of the day searching for similar threads here, but haven't found a solution...
A couple days ago photoshop hung, I tried to forcequit without luck so I shut the computer off and back on, and since then it won't load. when I click the icon it just bounces in the dock and then disappears. I don't even get to the splash screen.
I had a similar problem with InDesign... and now I noticed Illustrator too won't open.
Bridge works fine though.
Is there any preference files or anything else I can delete?
I tried fixing permissions, that didn't do anything. I am fairly new to the mac so not too sure what else I can do.
Again, sorry if this has been posted before, I haven't found a solution from the threads I found. Thanks
P.S. I tried creating a new user in is osx 10.5.7 and that too wouldn't solve the problem. I'm on a Macbook pro 4gb ram pleanty hd.... etc..

I don't know what is causing it but I would say a corrupt font us font explorer to find corrupt fonts then do a search for AdobeFnt and trash these files
except for any ending .db. Then trash the settings folder again, apologize for the ai error of course I mean the PS then see if that works.
You can also disable all fonts except the system fonts and see if that clears things then it is a font.
If this fails then you have to do an archival reinstall of your system and that should clear things..

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 cs4 closes after accepting licencing agreement.

Alright, so I've been using this student licensed copy of CS4 for the last 4 years or so now if this licensing page is to be believed. In any case I have just moved over to a new computer and have been having nothing but problems installing Photoshop. First attempts resulting in the disk just not being recognized, second batch resulting in the very helpful and descriptive "Error: 6". Now after finally getting the program to open in some respects, it just opens a licensing agreement, which I accept, and then nothing happens.
I have uninstalled and installed the program more times than I have cared to keep track of, even running the cleaner tool in between, making sure to reboot along the way. The key has been deactivated on the previous computer, and when opening I have been doing so as an administrator.
As of now, I've searched for a solution with the closest result being how to disable the licensing agreement from popping up in the first place, which resulted in absolutely nothing happening when opening the program, and that "fix" has been reverted, and occurred no less than 1 re-install attempt ago.

Alright I'll list any specs that I think could be relavent, though I don't really know what you need so I'm just going to copy over my speccy summary. If I need to provide anything specific or more than listed feel free to ask.

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...:
