Photoshop CS4 Extended ...Program's 'Help' does not work

I have PS CS4 Extended ... the Help command does not work ... I get a message saying "there was an error launching th eAdobe Help application. You may need to reinstall the application and Help component.
IK have un-installed the program completely and then reinstalled it. Still, the Help does not work, although the rest of the program seems to perform ok.
I'm rather at my wits end.
Has anyone any suggestions.
Thansk.

This won't fix your problem, but it might help as a workaround...

  • Photoshop CS4 64 bit  - Clone Tool does not work (and other tools)

    Hello.
    I have been using Photoshop for many years going back to v5.  I had used Design Prem Suite CS4 for the past year on an XP machine.  All worked fine.  I recently moved to WIndows 7 (64 bit) to get the add memory usage.  CS4 installs both 64 and 32 bit versions on Windows 7 64 bit.  So far all good.   Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.  I am at a dead end and really have no confidence in getting Adobe's help.
    My tools are working erratically, especially the cloning and healing tools.  I can't even use Photoshop in its current state and this has been going on now for weeks, no help from Adobe on my lates support ticket post.
    I canonly say that the clong tools is all over the place including but not limited to:
    * When I sample and then click to stamp, lines shoot across across the image as it I clone a line not a single sample area. These stamps can be the length of the enite image.
    * when I sample, then click to stamp, some the stamps occurs on some other part of the image.
    * when I sample and the click to stamp, nothing happens. I have to click several times.
    * when I sample and then click to stampl, the prior location I stamped has the clone applied
    There are more, but this is to just give an example.
    Notes:
    * I have trashed preferences at least 20 times and the problem immediately reappears
    * The problem happens in both the 32 bit and 64 bit version of PS running in Windows 7 65 bit
    * The problem occurs with OpenGL tuned on and off
    *  I have installed the latest PC patch 11.0.1
    * I have updated my latest NVidia drives. They are current.
    * I uninstalled Photoshop (kept the rest of Suite) and that did not work, and the same problem reappeared.  I am not uninstalling the complete suite but the reinstall has error (that is a separate issue)
    * I have triple monitors running off 2 GeForce 9800 GT cards.  These worked flawlessly before upgrading to the Windows 7 64 bit configuration.  When I upgrades, I replaced the processor, motherbaord and moved to 12 GB ram. The graphic cards are the same.
    Other tool issues:
    * I have similar problems with the healing brush
    * sometomes the text tool acts strange. I will click to enter text and a large area opens to enter text instead of just the cursor positioned ready for text.  Then other times it works normally.
    * the move tools sometimesacts strange. For example, if I try to move some test, the text jumps and moves of the image and I have to find it to drag it back on the image.
    Thanks in advance

    All I can say is...  Boy am I glad I have an ATI card that just works (and that's including Photoshop CS4/CS5 32/64 bit)!
    One thing I'm not sure was mentioned above...  Try changing your Advanced OpenGL preferences to "Basic" or even turning off OpenGL to see if it affects the issue.  Also try disabling the Show Overlay function in the CLONE SOURCE palette.
    Best of luck getting to the bottom of these problems, guys.  If they run on too long, consider switching brands.

  • HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!!!!!!

    I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!

    Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion.  I've done all that.  I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password.  I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password).  My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do.  His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume).  We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
    I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections.  They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired.  Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit.  My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely.  The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed?  I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
    Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard.  I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update.  Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

  • Adobe photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work-  the serial number does not work?

    photoshop cs2 download on adobe website does not work - the serial number given isn't recognised when you enter it when trying to install. the live chat at adobe cannot help and suggested that I may find the answer here. Can anyone help with this?

    Adobe has decommissioned the CS2 activation servers, so your old serial number is no longer usable.
    If you download the special non-activating version of CS2 that Adobe has made available to licensed CS2 users, you MUST also use the new serial number provided by Adobe on that download page:
    https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=cs2_downloads
    That S/N does work.  I double checked.

  • F1 help does not work in transaction SE80

    Hi Experts!
    A strange error occurred in our ECC 6.0 SR3 system (Windows 2003 SE 64 bit based, MaxDB 7.6.03.009). F1 help does not work in transaction SE80. Either nothing is shown when a keyword as SELECT is marked and F1 key is pressed, or a strange popup appears with title u201CABAP Keyword Documentationu201D and root u201CHit List of Index Searchu201D - [screenshot|http://i43.tinypic.com/aox7d.jpg]. No matter what I choose in the tree it always closes, no help is displayed and SAP GUI returns in the main screen in transaction SE80.
    I found this thread [Re: SAP F1 Help and SE80 issue|Re: SAP F1 Help and SE80 issue] but it did not help me. This is my system information:
    SAP PC VERSION INFORMATION: saplogon.exe
    MAIN MODULE INFORMATION:
       saplogon.exe
       SAP Logon за Windows
       Final Release 710
       7100.3.12.1042
       1046700
    SYSTEM INFORMATION:
       Operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 5.1 (2600) Service Pack 3
       Internet Explorer v. 7.0
    Application help works perfect - I checked the configuration in transaction SR13 too.
    Any ideas will be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Hi Presu,
    As it is seen from my previous post SAP GUI version is 7.10 SP 12. I downloaded the last SP 13 and installed it. Now SAP GUI information looks like this:
    SAP PC VERSION INFORMATION: saplogon.exe
    MAIN MODULE INFORMATION:
       saplogon.exe
       SAP Logon за Windows
       Final Release 710
       7100.3.13.1045
       1063164
    The problem is not resolved.
    This happens from different workstations with different versions and sub-versions of SAP GUI, so the problem is not caused from the GUI I think. It happens using different logon users and in all SAP system cliens.
    Any other suggestions?
    Best regards,
    Pit

  • 10.4.4 Mac Help does not work

    I just upgraded 10.4.3 to 10.4.4. Now Tiger Mac help does not work. Other software help does work, at least those I have checked like Word, Safari, and a few others I have checked. But in the Finder going to help in the Menu bar does brings up the help window, but try to click a link like What's new in Tiger or typing a query into the search window produces nothing. All the software seems to be working fine, at least what I have checked. I have redownloaded and re-installed making sure virus software is off to no avail.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried the steps mentioned before, and thought I would give them one more try. Initially, I had success in that the Help Viewer opened to the default Mac Help view, and when I typed in a find term, lo & behold a list of results appeared! Alas, my visions of success vanished when I clicked on one of the results, then View.....nothing happened!
    I returned to the main menu, and found none of the links would work, and neither would the search function!
    It appears a link may work the first time, but none after that.
    I also noticed that (repeating the Cache & Preference removal steps) that they repopulated with the files when Mac Help was initiated, and, as before, would allow one link acivation to occur, but none after.
    I suspect there may be a conflict with some other applications Help feature, but made sure to activate ONLY the Mac Help with no other Application having been run after restart. The only other possiblity is that some toolbar non-Mac OS X help apps like Magic Menu, Quicken, & iPod conflict, but these are all I have!
    If any one having this Help Viewer problem has similar installations, or knows of any conflicts with these; or, how I can temporarily disable/remove the associated help without uninstalling them, please post a reply.

  • Photoshop CS4 Extended - error 150:30 - "LicenseRecoveryLauncher" not supported on Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10

    I recently upgraded to Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10
    When I try to open Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended it says error 150:30 Licensing for this product has stopped working.
    I followed the help advice which says to download some software to mend the problem but it wont launch - error message You can’t open the application “LicenseRecoveryLauncher” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    How can I fix the problem?

    OS 10.7 and above uses the python script (.py) which is included in the License Recovery kit.
    Mac OS X 10.7
    a. Double-click the LicenseRecovery111.dmg
    Note: Leave this window open and proceed to the next step.
    b. Double-click your Hard Drive.
    c. Double-click Applications.
    d. Double-click Utilities.
    e. Double-click Terminal.
    f. Type “sudo python “
    Note: There is a space following “python”. Do not press Return.
    g. Drag LicenseRecover.py from the LicenseRecovery folder onto the Terminal Window and press Return. Note: Make sure that the Terminal window has the command and the path to the APP file. For example: "sudo python /Volumes/LicenseRecovery\ 11.6.1/LicenseRecovery/LicenseRecover.py”
    h. Enter your administrator user name and password when prompted and click OK.

  • Help does not work in photoshop elements 12, WHY??

    I just installed photoshop elements 12, none of the selections under HELP will work, I keep getting a message that “there was an error launching the default browser and to reinstall elements. I have done this 3 times and installed updates, HELP still does not work. I called customer support and was told I would have to pay to get support with defective software????  How do I get the help functions to work?  John Borden

    Perhaps the problem is with your browser. If this is a windows machine, maybe you have changed the default browser to FireFox, Chrome or something else and maybe you have modified the browser with add-ons, etc. If so, what I would do is load Internet Explorer and update it; then I would go into the browser's settings and mark is as the default browser. Close it and reboot the machine. Then try the Help file links again and see what happens. If this doesn't work, I don't know what else to suggest, at the moment. My default browser is FireFox and it works OK with PSE 12, but what works on one computer doesn't necessarily mean it will work on another. Good luck.

  • CS4 Design Standard Silent Install does not work

    I've concluded CS4 Design Standard silent install for Macs does not work correctly. I've got the program to install sucessfully with an Exit Code: 0 and the programs still do not work. The whole suite says the licensing has stopped working. I've tried the License Repair utility from Adobe, no go. It looks like the program does not fully install. I noticed within each application directory, it should have an Uninstall application when installed correctly. When this application isn't there, which occurs with silent installs, the whole suite doesn't work.
    Its funny how Adobe wont help me with "enterprise installations". I haven't tried the Creative Suite Deployment Toolkit but I've read other threads where that doesn't work either.
    If someone would like to prove me wrong about the silent installs for CS4, please do so. I've gotten CS3 to install perfectly, and the setup is very similar for both.

    Jimmy,
    As one of the volunteer Forum Hosts, I've requested appropriate help.
    You can also get help via the support portal: http://www.adobe.com/go/supportportal
    Or via the phone: 800-642-3623, Monday-Friday 6am-5pm (Pacific time). BTW, the enterprise number you post isnt a valid number for support.
    Your email address (from your account info) was used to log a CCRT to get Tier 2 to email you, given that you've already tried tier 1 with no solution.
    Please post back and let us know how this works out for you. Thanks!

  • HELP does not work

    Hi Everybody,
    1.  I have version 6 of Elements.
    2.  HELP can not contact the internet.
    3.  Replacing "ahclient.dll" with new version does not work either.  It just changes the no-go message.
    4.   Does anyone know of a cure.
    5.   Will this problem exist for  me with all Adobe Photoshop products.
    Phil

    Hi,
    0.   Thanks for your reply.
    1.    I've already tried that; i.e. replacing "ahclient.dll" with a new
    version.  HELP still does not get through.  You just get a different failure
    message.
    2.     I am quite disappointed even with the User's Manual which is
    pretending to be HELP.  HELP and a user's manual usually have a different
    organization, purpose, and search capabilities.  All that the manual does is
    give you  a document on which you can do a word search.  It's a giant pain
    to finally get to what you want.  Is this typical of Lightroom and
    Photoshop.  At $1,000, it would be quite annoying to find a User's Manual
    masquerading as HELP.

  • Report help does not work

    We have generated a headstart online helpfile belhelp.htm
    All works fine when using online help with forms: the help text uses help context id and bookmarks in het htm file.
    Altough help text for all reports is generated in belhelp.htm, following errors and restrictions occur:
    1. URL = http:10.1.10.0:7778/hsd65-help//hsd65-help/belhelp.htm is wrong. It should be http:10.1.10.0:7778/hsd65-help/belhelp.htm. How can I resolve this issue?
    2. report help does not use bookmarks. Although help context id's are generated in the module defined in design editor, the button 'report help' in the report launch form does not use the bookmark. When I add a bookmark manually it works, eg http:10.1.10.0:7778/hsd65-help/belhelp.htm#BM919000000

    This is a known bug that was fixed in Headstart patch 6.5.2.1, available through the supplement option. There are also a small number of other bugs related to reports that are fixed in patch 6.5.2.2, also available through the supplement option.
    If you do not already have the supplement option, you can purchase it through your Oracle Consulting representative or through the Oracle store.

  • Search help does not work when view context is mapped to comp context

    Hello,
    I am trying to display search help for an input field of a view. The context to which the input field is bound is a node with an attribute. I have specified Dictionary Search help for the attribute. Now when I execute the application, I am able to get the search help in the screen.
    But, I  need to map this  view context node to its comp controller context. When I do the mapping, the search help does not appear when executed.
    It would be a great help if someone can point out an answer to this.
    Thanks,
    Maya

    Hi Maya
    Follow these steps:
    1.Delete the context node/attribute which is bound to search help from the View.
    2.Now Save metadata.
    3.Perform Context mapping again .In the Edit Context Mapping window drag the node/attribute FROM RIGHT PANE TO LEFT PANE and select the entry.
    4.Delete the Input Field from the view.
    5.Save again
    6.Close NWDS and reopen it.
    7.Create input field again and bind it to the context element.
    Hope this solves the problem.
    Regards

  • Online help does not work any more (Lightroom 3, CS5 Suite)

    Hi,
    since a few days I get an error when using the Lightroom Online (german edition) help on my Win 7 64bit computer.
    When searching for something there pops up a dialog box stating "Unerwarteter Fehler. Suchen Sie erneut", that's like "Unexpected error. Please search again".
    My girlfriend has the CS5 Web Suite. She gets the same error on a diffferent computer (but also Win7 64bit). She also got an error 16822 when the help client tried to update. This error is already known and so I was able to fix it.
    But the error when using the help itself is still there.
    Any ideas.
    PS: The help does work when I switch from online to local search.

    Yes
    I tried again— but NO – it does not work
    Help OPENS
    But when I click on “lightroom help – F`1”
