Photoshop CS5 64 bit will not open in windows 8

PS CS5 will not open in windows 8 (neither will lightroom install)

I am also having the same issue. I have Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.  The program worked fine in Windows 7 64bit. I recently upgraded laptops to a Samsung with Windows 8 - 64bit.  After full install program will not run/open.  Here is what I have tried to no avail:
Right Click Photoshop.exe file > Properties > Compatibility Tab >
Run Compatibility Troubleshooter > Troubleshoot Program >
Checked box that reads: The program worked on earlier versions of Windows but will not install or run >
NEXT > Selected Windows 7 for last version program ran on > NEXT >
Test the Program button > NEXT > No this did not help, report the issue to Microsoft >
Check for more solutions >  Issues Found with Yellow Exclamation Point - "Incompatible Program Detected" >
CLOSE
No other options have worked either. Ive tried compatibility for Windows XP SP2 and SP3 and neither of those worked either.
I really do not want to pay to upgrade already - how can this be fixed??

  • Photoshop CS5 trial will not open - "illegal seek" message

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.3 installed. The Adobe Download Assistant is stuck in extracting mode, which I can't seem to get rid of even after deleting the Adobe Download Assistant dmg and reinstalling it. Since I was not able to open the Photoshop CS5 dmg (I received the illegal seek message), I deleted it. I have tried redownloading the Adobe Download Assistant, but I can't seem to get it out of its extracting state. What do I do? I have tried 2 different internet connections also... since I saw that was recommended on someone else's post that had the same issue.
    Thanks

  • File Compatibility, Files Created w/Photoshop on Apple Will Not Open on Windows platform

    I have created a book in InDesign CS5.5 that contains Photoshop documents created in Photoshop CS5.1 using a Windows 7 professional 64bit computer. These files were subsiquently modified by a Graphic Artist using the same versions of this software running on an Apple computer. When his files were packaged by Indesign and then returned to me, the linked .tiff files that he had modified in Photoshop would not open again on my computer. Note that other liinked photographs that had not been subsequently modified opened correctly and that the InDesign document included in the package would link and open correctly when the InDesign document opened. Is this a problem with cross platform compatibility?

    The platform that created or reads the file doesn't matter -- the files are the same.
    No, that is not a platform compatibility issue - because there are no such issues.
    Are the files failing to open in Photoshop, or InDesign?
    What does the error say when they fail to open?

  • Photoshop Edit function will not open. Windows 8

    After loading and using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11. I initially used the Edit on one occasion. I then went to use it again and it gives me the Photoshop graphic, but would not launch / open the Edit option.
    I checked the "Properties" tab on the Program and it stated it was set up for Windows XP Service Pack 3. I looked at other options listed and it only went up to Windows 7.
    I purchased it for Windows 8 from Amazon and it does have it printed on the box that it is for the latest Windows 8.
    Can you tell me if this can be fixed or whether I have been sold a product that is wrongly configured and will need replacing.

    Hello RJA,
    Are you saying that in the Compatibilty tab of the properties dialog for the application, the box "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" is set to "Windows XP (Service Pack 3"?
    If so, uncheck that box. Press OK. Then try and start PSE again. If that works, great. If not, then exit. Right-click on the shortcut, choose Properties again, Compatibility tab, and check the box to run as Administrator (assuming you are using an admin account in Windows). If it all strarts fine, then exit again. Go back to the Compatibilty tab and make sure that the Run as Administrator is unchecked.
    Try to start it normally. Does it now start and run OK?
    Take care, Mike

  • Hi please can you help me. I have photoshop CS5 extended, I bought a new camera Nikon D610 I want to edit my photos adobe camera raw , but when I try to open photoshop CS5 it will not open. Please can you tell me how to download and install the camera raw

    HI bought a new camera Nikon D610 , I am using adobe photoshop CS5 extended, I want to edit my photos in camera raw but it is not possible to do so . I need to download camera raw plugin for CS5 can some tell me how to do so or if there is a link for the camera plugin.
    Many thanks Pitt.

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

  • Photoshop CS5 and CS6 not opening after Windows 7 update

    Hi there!
    I have my Mac on repair so I have to use Photoshop on a very old Windows 7 laptop of mine (the first PS licence I bought was for PS CS4 Win then extended to CS5 during grace period)
    It always worked fine (slow but fine ) since today. I was updating a couple of softwares (Intuos + Spyderpro) and I have been asked to restart my computer to make the updates effective. I've noticed that Windows during the restart was updating itself as well and I said "well, ok!" and let it go. But once my computer had restarted I couldn't open PS CS5 anymore. Desperate I went to the Adobe trial pages and downloaded CS6 but it doesn't work as well. I tried to repair some log errors via CC cleaner and delete PS preferences from its folder but no luck. I don't know what else to do. Bridge works fine. I don't understand what happened and how to solve it.

    Hi Valeria,
    My first inclination was to recommend just reinstalling, but since you said you did a new install of CS6 and that isn't working either I'm not sure if that would help. The user preferences was also a great thing to try.
    These might be some other general suggestions for good next steps:
    - Try launching with right-click Run as Administrator
    - Create a new administrative account, log out of your current one, and attempt launching from there
    - See if you get the same behavior if launching while in a Selective Startup
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/run-selective-startup-system-configuration#1TC= windows-7
    - Uninstall any changes you made since it stopped working, you should be able to uninstall the Windows update from within Programs and Features, uninstall the Intuos + Spyderpro temporarily to rule them out
    Hope that helps,
    - Dave

    We are seeing a problem with our CS5 suite with Photoshop only. The actual Photoshop program will open and allow us to browse the menus, but we cannot open and recent files, or open any new pictures with it. Also we are not able to create a new file with Photoshop.

  • Photoshop elements 6 will not open!

    Purchased photoshop elements 6.  My dad has that one and recommended it for what I want to do with photos.  It was the only elements in our budget and since my dad uses it, I figured instant help should I need it.
    I tried installing it.  It said it was installed, but it will not open.  Tried uninstalling it then reinstalling it and restarting computer.  Did not work.  Tried to run it as an administrator.  Did not work.
    I have windows vista 64 bit.
    If I can't get this to work, I know I won't be buying anything from adobe ever again and will tell all my friends that want to get into editing their photos to stay far, far, far away from photoshop elements.

    You are rude, to say the least.  It is adobe's fault for marketing it as compatible.  Yet another reason why I want nothing to do with adobe.  The fact they marketed it as compatible when it is not is what I have a problem with.  I am not blaming the software, I am blaming the company.

  • CS5.5 will not open...

    So I just re-installed CS5.5 on my computers, (clean install, I used Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool to remove any previous versions) and every other Adobe application opens except for Adobe Flash Professional, Adobe Flash Builder and Adobe Flash Catalyst.
    I went into AppData and checked for fontinfo.txt, but because Flash never ran; it isn't there.
    I also tried waiting for Flash to open, but whenever I wait, it closes itself.
    ** EDIT **
    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
    Intel Pentium CPU B950 @ 2.10GHz
    6 GB of RAM
    Anyone else having a problem with this?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm sorry, this is not an answer but another person with the same issue.
    My Flash CS3 works fine, I have installed the trial Flash CC and it runs fine, but my Flash CS5.5 will not open either.  I have tried similar things you have, all of my other CS5.5 programs open and after a lengthy Norton check it has not found a virus.
    If anyone has found a resolution it would be greatly appreciated.
    My Windows[7] 64bit log:

    Help.  Photoshop Elements 10 will not open.  I get Error message that says "Runtime Error!" and closes. What do I do?  What does it mean?  I bought Elements 10 at a retail store.  It did work for a while.

    Hi,
    Can you post back with the following.
    1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.
    2.  The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).

  • ITunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times.

    iTunes 10.6.0.40 will not open on Windows 7, no error messages come up. Have tried un-installing it and re-installing it many times. Please help.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
    iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
    which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases.
    Or roll back to the previous build:
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
    iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)
