Photoshop CS4 not opening & Wacom Cintiq 20WSX driver problem

Hello,
I have been using Photoshop CS4 for quite sometime now with no issues. I have just started using a Wacom Cintiq 20WSX and installed all the necessary drivers and now Photoshop will not open (I have seen other threads relating to Intuos tablets but not the Cintiq 20WSX).
I have unistalled the Wacom drivers and Photoshop will open, on reinstalling the Wacom drivers the problem starts again "Photoshop cs4 has stopped working".
I am running Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit. Photoshop CS4 has all current updates and I am using the most recent driver for the 20WSX from Wacoms site.
Any suggestions as this is really really frustrating. (I have not yet attempted to uninstall Photoshop and reinstall it)
(Incidently I am using the Production Premium CS4 Suite and everyhting else appears to be unaffected -AE, AI are opening with no issues)
Thanks!

Hi. I had the same problems with my Intous4 as well, and since both cintiq and Intuos use the same driver it probably is the same.
Try this. Uninstall the wacom, unplug it, restart the pc. Then download the latest driver from the wacom site (if you didn't already), and install that latest driver alone, without installing the one that came with the cintiq. This is how I solved my problem, it wouldn't open PSCS4 64bit and AE

  • PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro

    PS CS4 will not open after carbon copying drive to new SSD on MacPro. Pop-up windows inform me that the scratch disk is not available. I would appreciate any advice on how to rectify this problem.
    Thanks

    Thanks avanishdivya.
    I was hoping to avoid that route, but guess it's all I can do.
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do you know if it is a Carbon Copy Cloner issue or just the way Adobe sets it up?
    For future reference, where should the scratch disk reside? I heard it should not be on the boot drive?

    Just replaced my hard drive on my Mac book pro. Photoshop will not open error 150:30

    This is more of a Photoshop question than a Mac question. I typed the error into Google and there seems to be multiple threads about it in the Adobe forums. Here is one:

  • ESC key does not work when Photoshop CS4 is opened

    Hi everyone!
    It seems that everytime my Photoshop CS4 is opened, my ESC key ceases to function. When I close the PS, it starts to function again. Running Windows 7 64-bit. I've tried cleaning my registry and reloading PS. Not that critical, but it got me to notice that I use my ESC key more often than I thought
    Any thought?
    Thanks!

  • Photoshop will not open some of my files

    I recently had a hard drive crash. I sent it to a recovery company and they returned my files on a new hard drive. Many of the images were recovered but some show up as CR2 files or psd files that photoshop will not open. The message says that this is a file format that PS does not recognize. These files seem to be no different from my other CR2 files and psd. files but the thumbnails don't show up in Bridge and PS will not open them. Can anyone tell me how to get these files to open?

    I thought this following suggestion to use GIMP to open stubborn PSD files was brilliant:

    you may also want to try using the DNG converter with your CR2 files:

  • Photoshop will not open unless as Admin but that causes other problems

    Hi all,
    There are two problems:
    1.  If I don't run photoshop as an administrator
    2.  If I run photoshop as an administrator.
    1.  If I don't run as administrator, Photoshop will NOT open.  I can't even open .psd by double clicking them.  Can't open from the installed directory, can't open from shortcuts.  It only works if I right click run as admin or set properties to run as admin. 
    I am the only user for the system, and I have even taken ownership of all files.  Yet, it still requires me to run as admin.  I am running CS5 with windows 7 64bit.
    2.  If I run as admin I cannot drag or drop files into PS.  As detailed in here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3640635.  I can open files manually through file menu, but dragging and dropping is disabled (shows a circle with a slash when i drag into PS). Their solution in the forum was to remove running as admin.  But if I do that, I get problem 1.
    Any ideas?
    Jason

    Option 1:  Clearly something went wrong when installing Photoshop, or you have changed permissions on your system for some part(s) Photoshop needs to access.  Verify, for example, that you have Full Control access to the root of the hard drive you have identified as scratch.  A reinstall of Photoshop might correct this.
    Option 2:  Windows UAC is likely the culprit here.  Some folks choose to turn off UAC completely, which means you'll be running everything as Administrator all the time, but that should not be done without FULLY understanding what UAC does for you and what additional measures you'll take to ensure your system doesn't get infected with malware.

  • After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

    After upgrading to Mavericks my Mac Pro does not open my double CD drives when I hit eject in the menu bar it locks up (please Help)?

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

    Also, I just downloaded an upgrade to Topaz and it says cannot install on this computer...it is my main plugin for PS
    If you have gone to the Topaz developer's site and see no update for Photoshop in Lion, then all you can really do is contact them to see if they ever intend to update it.  What verion of Photoshop are you using by the way?

  • After installation CC, Photoshop will not open. Program error?

    I got a subscription on Creative Cloud. Downloaded CC and Photoshop, but Photoshop will not open. After the splash-screen, it says something about a program error, and then it stops. I deleted CC and PS and reinstalled everything, but still the same result. I work on a Mac, and all software is up to date..

    1. try resetting your preferences:  hold down shift-ctrl-cmd while starting ps.  you'll see a confirmation dialog if done correctly.
    2. if that fails, uninstall, clean and reinstall following the help here, http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

    The E-M1 was first supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC. It is not compatible with CS5 or lower and never will be.
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the Raw E-M1 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5
