Photoshop CS5 and CS6 does not start. Windows 7

I am using Photoshop CS5 as well as CS6, 64-bit on Windows 7. Since the last few days, I noticed that Photoshop would take a very long time to start (earlier it used to start within few seconds). Today, I found that both the Photoshop versions do not start at all. Nothing happens when I click the short-cut on the Task Bar. Neither do they start through the Start Menu. Why does this happen and what is the solution?

Have you tried using the task manager to see if Photoshop is hung and look at your windows reliability history to see if Photoshop CS5 an CS6 are crashing?

    Are Photoshop CS5 and CS6 compatible with Windows 8?

    Yes,  I'm running CS6 on 8.1, and I'm sure CS5 works as well.

  • Photoshop cc 64 bits does not start anymore

    Since yesterday my photoshop CC 64 bits does not start aymore with an error message like "the internal file signature is incorrect." (it is a translation I use the French version).
    My photoshop cc 32 bits works still fine.
    I have the version 14.1.1 of Photoshop that has been installed a few days ago automatically by Adobe Updater.
    Since that day I had not used Photoshop so I guess it is this update that has corrupted something.
    I am a new user of photoshop on a fresh new Windows 8 PC and I have not yet installed any additional plugin to it.

    That sounds like the installation has been corrupted on disk.
    Uninstalling the app, reinstalling, and re-updating is your best bet.

  • Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

    Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start after replacement of the mainboard of the computer.
    We uninstalled the software and reinstalled it but it still refuses to work.
    System is Windows7 64 bits

    I have the same problem, does no one from Adobe look at this forum? I have done the mentioned things and nothing works. I am trying to get a project done and this very frustrating. I too should have gone with a Mac

  • HT1349 Have gone to sync Itunes and program does not start up. Have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Very frustrating as it has 6 devices I maintain.

    Have gone to update and sync Iphones and Ipods and Itunes does not start up.

    Both the sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll failed giving the error "LoadLibrary("xxxxxx.dll") failed. - The specified module could not be found."
    There's our likely culprits. We'd better try swapping them out on the PC.
    (The instructions I'm about to give are quite possibly going to sound odd ... I'll explain what we're doing and why at the end of the post.)
    Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\ directory. (If you've set a different directory from \Windows\ as your Systemroot, look for \System32\in the alternate Systemroot rather than Windows.)
    Can you see sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll in there?
    If so, drag each of them to your Desktop.
    Now close the C:\Windows\System32\ window, wait about 5 seconds, and then open navigate to C:\Windows\System32\ again. Have copies of sccbase.dll and slbcsp.dll reappeared in that directory?
    If one or both of the dlls aren't replaced and/or you get an error message from Windows saying you have a system file missing, move the dlls back into \System32\ from your desktop, and post back.
    (What we're doing here is using XP's Windows File Protection system. It maintains a \dllcache where copies of essential dlls are kept on the PC. If it detects that a dll from \System32\ is missing, or has been replaced by an earlier version, and it has a current version of the dll in the dllcache, it will move a copy of the correct version of the dll into \System32\. There's more information about this in the following document from Microsoft: Description of the Windows File Protection feature.)
    If the dlls are replaced, try restarting the PC and then relaunching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
    If it doesn't launch, try reregistering sccbase.dll and slbscp.dll again. Do they reregister properly, or do you get an error message again?

  • Open Photoshop CS5 and CS6

    I can't open Photoshop CS5 and CS6 versions simultaneously. When I launch CS6, and then CS5, it takes me to CS6, and vice versa.
    Is it possible to keep open the two versions? With Indesign I can do it.

    As far as I know that is normal behavior:  only one instance of Photoshop at a time.   Forum members have reported running two versions of Photoshop simultaneously using virtual machines on their computer (which emulate separate computers).

    That message usually means you hacked the phone to unlock it.

    Is this the case?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    hi,i have a very big problem....i had an accident with my macbook , i poured some champagne and it does not start anymore....it will work again???

    If you spilled champagne on it, chances are not good.  If you haven't alredy DO NOT turn it on or charge it.  I would immediately take it to the Genius Bar and see if they can clean it up before. 
    Had the same problem with a 15" MBP and a tea spill and I did the opposite.  Trashed the Logic & Keyboard Assembly.  Cost to repair was going to be more than what I paid for a computer so ended up having to replace it.

  • Acrobat Pro X 10.1.10 Does Not Start Windows 8.1

    I have Create Suite CS6 which apparently bundles Adobe Acrobat Pro X.   I have upgraded to 10.1.10.    Under Window 8.1, this version simply does not start.   There is no startup screen.  There is no error in EventViewer of Windows.   It simply does NOTHING.
    I went to Windows Program and Features and did a "Repair" on Acrobat Pro X.  This redid the install but the result is the same.
    Is there a known compatibility issue here?   How do I work around this?

  • ATI Radeon 7000 series and Photoshop CS5 and CS6

    Interesting to note, Running windows 7 64bit I have bought a new graphics card, it is an ATI Radeon HD7900 bought to run Photoshop CS5 and 6 unfortunately the graphics card is not displayed in the photoshop prefrences, I checked the list of cards supported by Adobe and the Radeon 7000 series was listed.....I rang Adobe who states that the HD7000 is not supported, so until (if ever ) it is I cannot use the full functionality of Photoshop CS5 extended. I'm not sure if all the Radeon HD cards are supported or not, but maybe check before you invest in a new card.

    The Radeon 7000 series cards should work fine with both CS5 and CS6, but as Steve noted there is a problem with the current drivers for the card.  Until the 12.7 driver is released next month, I'd suggest using the following driver:
    http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst126beta.aspx
    Use the control panel on your system to completely uninstall your current driver before installing the 12.6 beta driver.  Please let us know if the beta driver resolves the issues you're seeing.
    Thanks,

    How can I solve this error?
    By the way it is really early to stop the development of an DVD authoring software!
    Thanks

    Did EncoreCS6 work at one time, or is this a new install and it has never worked? If it worked before... what changed?

  • GoldenGate Manager Does not start  - Windows 7 64-bit, 11gR1 database

    Hi Experts,
    I ran into very tricky situation and seeking for clarification and if possible solution for the same, here how it goes: (This is a practice setup for my knowledge and not production)
    My environement:
    GGSCI (msheth-work) 18> versions
    Operating System:
    Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
    Database:
    Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
    TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
    I have two database installed called gg1, gg2 on the same local system.
    I have two goldengate installation at following location: C:\gg1 , C:\gg2
    I was successfully able to start Manager, Extract and Replicate process with out creating windows services for manager.
    I read in discussion forum that it is recommneded to have different manager name and create services for them if you have multiple Goldengate installation in the same system. (Oracle Golden Gate installation
    Now when I create services using INSTALL ADDSERVICE ADDEVENTS, manager process does not start and manager report log and event viewer from windows shows following error despite of providing correct login details in manager parameter file:
    2012-08-23 10:42:31 ERROR OGG-00664 Oracle GoldenGate Manager for Oracle, mgr.prm: OCI Error beginning session (status = 1017-ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied).

    Manager Parameter File:
    PORT 7810
    USERID ggs_owner, PASSWORD ggs_owner

    Your explaination and help will be highly appreciated.

    Thanks all of you to responding to my post, although I have bad news that I tried everything but it did not work. let me show you what all I have done:
    1) Adding windows services for manager
    GGSCI (msheth-work) 4> edit params ./globals
    MGRSERVNAME MGR1
    GGSCI (msheth-work) 5> exit
    c:\gg1>install addservice addevents
    Oracle GoldenGate messages installed successfully.
    Service 'MGR1' created.
    Install program terminated normally.
    When I try to start manager service either from GGSCI or from services.msc it gives same login error as mentioned earlier in the post.
    2) Using tnsnames while login into database:
    GGSCI (msheth-work) 1> edit params mgr
    PORT 7809
    USERID ggs_owner@gg1, PASSWORD ggs_owner
    PURGEOLDEXTRACTS C:\gg1\dirdat\ex, USECHECKPOINTS
    Just to make sure username and password is fine I login into database using GGSCI command prompt as follows:
    GGSCI (msheth-work) 4> dblogin userid ggs_owner@gg1, password ggs_owner
    Successfully logged into database.
    Hence, after making sure on all your suggestion I could not get it started and still situation is the same. I would need manager login into database becuase I have implemented DDL replication.
    Also, just by removing manager service from windows, same configuration without any change works like a charm. It just that for evey goldengate process a new window is create and it can't be closed. (If closed process dies).
