Photoshop Cs4 Extended Starting/Loading Error

Hello Everyone,
Below is a screenshot of the error I'm having.
I'm on Windows7 and trying to run Photoshop PS4 Extended. Everything was running fine the other day. But today it suddenly started doing this when I started it up. It actually looks the same but the top par switches from what you see to the normal title bar but with the words "Not Responding" at the end. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but no luck. Same deal when soing a system restore.
All drivers are updated as is Photoshop (11.0.1). Nothing has been installed and my Norton 360 is up to date and found no errors. This error only happens with Shotoshop. Not Flash nor Dreamweaver. I also have plenty of Ram and Hard Drive space avalible (30+ gigs). Please Help!

It's not the Video Card. It's fully updated, no dust, or wire issues.
It's not the drivers either. At least not from what I can tell. The Drivers have been updated fully.
Is there a way I can remove all of the Photoshop Drivers (without hurting other adobe programs) and start from scratch. Basically remove Photoshop fully from the hard drive. No other program on my computer does this. Not one. It must be a Photoshop issue.
Here's the weird thing. I've just created a portable version of the program and it works fine. It's the installed version that's acting up.
But nothing else works.
Before anyone ask, no I will not give you the portable version nor will I teach you how to make your programs portable. The portable version has my serial/activation info in it and I'm not able to give that out. Buy the program like we did. And making programs portable and/or sharing the knowledge is too risky. Tends to illegal downloads and crap. You wouldn't want it anyway. Only default programs/pugins work with it. So doing this actually limits the artist a lot.

I am trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended and an error occurs.

I am trying to install the above program and Error 30: The system cannot read from the specified device. My DVD drive works so I don't understand why it is not finishing the install. Then on my programs it says that I have Adobe Photoshop CS4. Any ideas?

This may do better posted in the Photoshop forum.

Reinstall of Photoshop CS4 extended serial number error

I got the program reinstalled; it has been installed and registered before, I've used it for years. Now I receive a invalid serial number and am locked out of the program. I have not been on the Adobe website for a long time but when I went there today my product registration which I believe was there wasn't today. I attempted to re-register but got invalid serial number. I installed the product back in 2009? and registered it then with no problem. I sure would appreciate some help. The product is a box set (two disks) and clearly has the serial number printed on the back of the case. It has other information on the bottom of the box PN: number and lot code and more.
I have had a virus/malware so my Win 7 64 bit Pro is a new install.
HELP thank you

Photoshop CS4 Extended Graphics Error

Hello Everyone
I just recently upgraded to CS4 Master Collection in hopes of using it with my web design job I was hired for. Whenever I go into Photoshop CS4 Extended and I try to "Free Transform" something (an image, a shape, etc) and either the canvas goes black and doesn't respond for awhile, or it has these purple shapes that show up on a black background and they are pixelated. I do apologize if I am not describing this very well. You can see what I am talking about here on this link where I took a screenshot and posted it.

this fixed the program error for me, at least for the time being. i do use the opengl drawing thing quite a bit though, i hope they fix this. i also hope its not my machine (1 year old macbook pro). i also speeded things up on my machine by having a separate scratch disk that i plug in (a firewire 800 drive) which i thought was the program error problem at first. some of the files that were not able to open i was able to initially open by duplicating them and then opening them. but not today--i haven't been able to open anything until i turned off the opengl drawing preference. good luck whoever you are! i know how frustrating this is--believe me, i almost slammed my computer on the ground today when it wouldn't open my files!
note that overall the opengl feature, i feel, is pretty rad though--i love being able to draw and rotate the entire canvas to match the orientation of my drawing capabilities!

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall from scratch, making sure you have proper file permissions and user privileges and turning off potential disturbances liek virus scanners etc..

Photoshop CS4 Trial version install error

Hello. I've downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS4 Extended.
When I click the setup.exe it starts running and works until it reaches the loading setup menu.
Then a error pops up.
The title of the message box is "Windows Internet Explorer" and the message is "Critical errors were found in setup." And it also said to look in the setup log.
The log file contained this message " FATAL
Critical errors were found in setup
TypeError:'undefined' is null or not an object"
I'm using XP (SP3) and my computer is well above the minimum requirements.
Does anyone know why this is occurring?

What other software is on your system? What version of Internet Explorer? The error you describe sounds like you never bothered to update IE and thus the proper mechanisms for running and displaying the install screens are not in place. If automatic update does not offer the respective options, I recommend downloading the standalone installer for IE7 (or even the IE8 Beta) as well as double-checking whether your .NET runtime 1.1 is also in place. The latter should only be required on Vista, but even on XP it has the positive sideeffect of fixing a few broken DLL connections/ assignments, so it may be just what you need.

Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended, owned for ages, licensing for this product has expired? Was using it two months ago.

Hello,
I have been trying to get Adobe's help for over a month now. I've been on the phone twice to them, opened up three seperate cases and still arrived at no solution. I was bought Photoshop CS4 Extended awhile ago and use it for my studies (I'm an art student). Two months ago my harddrive on my computer failed and I had to have a new laptop. I went to reinstall Photoshop and "Licensing for this product has expired" comes up. I've uninstalled, inreinstalled many times and used Microsoft Fix It Programme for uninstalling to make sure all the files are gone.
Surfing the forums I learned that there should be a folder with back up and Adobe PCD but I don't have that folder at all. The serial number I use is my original serial number that I know works and adobe have even said it's a technical error. What do I do? College starts again in two weeks and I don't have the programme I use for it!

Try the License Repair Tool Adobe - Adobe Licensing Repair Tool
Other suggestions if this doesn't work: Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
Also if you must uninstall, use the Adobe CS Cleaner tool, not the Microsoft one. Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Adobe Photoshop CS4 English Language Pack Error: Error 2.

I've read another post indicating this error upon install of CS4. Many of the factors described do not fit my scenario, so I thought I'd post this again.
Basically, I have Win XP SP3 all updates applied. Minimal services running. No software firewall. Everything installed just fine from Production Premium CS4 EXCEPT Photoshop. Error shown in subject line of this post is issued by installer.
Photoshop won't boot stating it is missing files from it's folder.
Wazzup?

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.

I can't install Adobe Photoshop CS4 extended at all

I downloaded Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended (Trial Version) from the Adobe.com website through Akamai downloader. Well, i tried to install it clicking on the set up, but it started to install and a few minutes later stopped and displayed a error message. The message, without error code identifications, just informed that there was an error during the instalation and Adobe bridge and another one could not be installed.
I tried again and it started, but when it was almost finishing another message appeared warning that "there was an error during the instalation(again no code error identification) and that Photoshop could not be installed.
I follow some tips like shutting down the firewall, AV, but it didn't work. I used the system restoring so that i could completely clean up remaining files and tried to reinstall it, but again nothing.
Has anybody any idea?
Thanks

Hi again.

There is a difference between being the Administrator on the computer and right-clicking on the Setup file and choosing "Run as Administrator".
I know that John, when i said that i usually run the system as administator, i meant that i logged on as administrator. Sorry if i caused a misunderstood.
I decided to format the computer again. Perhaps, some problem during the system instalation may have caused this problem. After that, i'll try to install it and see what's gonna happen. I've decided to do it because If it is caused by an instalation error of the main system, it may also cause hassles when using other softwares. But if it is not caused by an instalation error i'll come back to get help.
Thanks for responding

Adobe Photoshop cs4 extended invalid serial number

I just bought adobe photoshop cs4 extended from a large retail computer store.I had the trial version of photoshop cs4 extended.I uninstalled the trial version and installed from dvd.I got a Invalid serial number error.I am sure there was a software configuration problem .The reason ,the disk needs to verfy that you have the original disk,If that happens ,After installation ,Just delete this file C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache\cache.db This is the location where it installed the serial . After deleteing it will create a new cache.db file and store the serial there that goes with that disk . When you open PS cs4 it will ask to enter serial again.Just enter the serial again that came with box ..I guess this would work also with adobe photoshop cs4

I encountered the same problem with Photoshop CS5 - I had the trial version installed, and now bought the extended version, but it keeps saying the license key is invalid. I did unistall, ran the cleanup tool, but it is still not working. Any help is appreciated.
