Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8 gives Configuration Error 16 when launched

I am completely at a loss as to correcting this issue. I installed Windows 8 a few weeks ago and everything went smooth. Ive been using Photoshop CS6 (as part of Creative Suite CS6) with little to no problems until a few days ago when I started
recieving the following error:
Configuration Error
Please Uninstall and reinstall the product.
If this problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help, and mention the error code shown at the bottom of this screen.
Error: 16
http://www.adobe.com/support/
I unintall/reinstalled the software and it started working again until this morning when it started doing the same thing.
Please, anyone have a solution for this? Im in the middle of my final project for my photography/photoshop class and cannot seem to get this working correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Dear Jeff - Thanks for that - I had seen those notes on the adobe help site, but, the instructions given don't seem to apply exactly to Windows 8.1 as when I looked them up, I couldn't find the network path specified in the help document you reference:
Windows 32 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
Windows 64 bit (XP, Vista, 7): \Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\
because on my windows 8.1 machine, in the "Adobe" folder there was no "installer" folder.
Since I wasn't sure how to find the error log, My first "Troubleshooting" move was to de-install the program (Adobe Design Standard CS6) and then re-download the file from the adobe site here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
However, at the moment, the problem seems to be ok, so I guess that perhaps that fixed the problem? Fingers crossed!
For future reference (or in case someone else is looking at this posting with a similar issue?) do you know how to find the error log on an installation on Windows 8.1? Thanks!

Installed Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8.1

Installed Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8.1 and when I ask for updates I get a warning telling me the server is not available. I can receive updates on my desktop which is Windows 7. Do I need an upgrade?

no, you don't need an upgrade.

When accessing Intranet sites that use SSL Certificates issued by our internal PKI, FF for Windows give an error of "improperly formatted DER-encoded message"

When accessing Intranet sites with that have SSL Certificates issued by our internal PKI, FF for Windows gives an error messsage - An error occurred during a connection to myshaw. security library: improperly formatted DER-encoded message. (Error code: sec_error_bad_der)
Chrome and IE work fine. This is a new PKI using the SHA-2 signature algorithm.

Hi Guigs2,
From the other post you link too, I can confirm that both the Root and Subordinate CA have been commissioned with the:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\CertSvc\Configuration\IssuingCA\CSP\AlternateSignatureAlgorithm = 1
registry key set. As can be seen above, the Signature algorithm on an issued certificate is RSASSA-PSS. This is been Microsoft suggested deployment IF you do not wish to support either XP or Windows 2003 machine and lower. In fact, I believe the option has been around since Windows 2008, however, there were of course, a lot more XP machines back then.
The obvious answer is that we would like to maintain the updated algorithm, AND see support for it added for Firefox. I think you will see a LOT more posts like this as people deploy more 2012 PKI infrastructure supporting only Windows 7 and up. Heavens, we may well be forced to Chrome or even back to IE!!! Whilst I do not what to necessary open up other potential vulnerabilities, for the sake of testing, what do you mean by disabling mozilla:pkix?

What is the error? Are you following the Bootcamp instructions? Where on the "internet" are you trying to install from? Did you try downloading from here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/?

Spectrum digital DSK5416 driver setup gives an error when test wizard is run.

Please help us with the following problem we are facing:
1.   Spectrum digital DSK5416 driver setup gives an
error when test wizard is run. A snap shot of the same has been
attached.
2.   The A/D module doesn’t pickup microphone signal or
an audio sample for loopback but the implementation of the same works
fine in CCS environment. (We are using Mic In and Speaker Out lines)
3.   When a real-time application has run successfully
and if you close the VAB environment the application starts running
automatically until you reset the board.
4.   We don’t find the flash program button enabled, so
that any real-time program can be burned into flash and demonstrate the
embedded feature.
Note:
We are using Windows Xp professional edition.
Program is developed using DSK5416

Hello, I have included some information that will help address your questions: (1) I couldn't see the attached image file (contained errors). The RIDE/VAB DSK5416 Driver makes use of a JTAG communication when reading/writing memory on the DSK5416 hardware. You will need to make sure that the JTAG transfer option has been selected in the Driver Setup dialog box. The memory test process may seem to take a long time due to the amount of memory being accessed. (2) The VAB RTDSKAD block component provides a one-channel A/D input that makes use of the line-in channel on the DSK5416 hardware. (3) VAB does not remove the downloaded DSP executable program from DSK5416 memory, and it does remain resident. That being said, I wouldn't expect that the program would begin execution when VAB is closed. I would recommend that you verify that the DSP program stopped properly upon selecting the VAB Stop command. Then, close VAB as normal. (4) The RIDE/VAB driver for the DSK5416 does not support programming of flash memory on the DSK5416 hardware. Regards, Steve

Bug? Can't Drag and Hold Mouse Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8 RP

I am having a few problems with the current Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8RP.
At first it was only the tilit shift and iris but it turns out it's everything to do with when you need to hold the mouse button and drag. It seems that the problem is isolated to Photoshop as other Adobe programmes are working fine plus other programmes and Windows generally is also fine.
I am using an Nvidia GTX580 with Windows 7 drivers until the proper version comes which is late of course!
Plus, I uninstalled my Intellipoint and keyboard drivers too and connected a generic mouse via USB and I still get the same problem.
Weirdly though, every (let's say) 20 times I try to drag and hold after constantly restarting Photoshop it works once then I have to try again a load of times by restarting the application.
Any ideas?
Joe

I'm running photoshop cs6 on windows 8 RP 64 bits and haven't seen that problem
and i didn't see that on the consumer preview either.
This is the driver i'm using:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-64bit-296.17-preview-driver.html
Just watch that windows update doesn't try to sneak in there own driver.
It happened to me twice until i changed the automatic updates to notify
and also watch that doesn't happen with your monitor profile as well.
The updated Nvidia drivers for rp are supposed to be released sometime this coming week.
Do you have any third party plugins or do you have the scriptlistener installed?
Did you try resetting the photoshop preferences or difference modes under the Advanced setting for the the graphics processor under preferences>preformance in photoshop?

I installed Adobe Web and Design Preium CS6 on windows 8.1, but when I open the program the size of the menus and tools are so tiny. It is not like that for Acrobat, but all the other programs. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks for the help. I installed CC and it fixed everything but Photoshop. I guess I will have to use my old laptop for images until Adobe fixes the problem. Do you know of a place where we can send issues like these to Adobe?

Photoshop cs6 popup windows can't move

i installed photoshop cs6 than i open 2 document,when i drag out one ,the popup windows cant't move.
it still keep in the Original place.
i try reinstall also can't fix this problem,how can i fix it?

Hi,
I believe that was a bug in the windows version of photoshop 13.0, the original release, when using floating document windows and having the windows taskbar at the top or left side of the monitor.
If you go to to Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to update to 13.0.1.2, then that should take care of it.

Hello, I update my mac pro to 10.10. Why the photoshop cs6 change to slowly now. When I change the tools like brush to command+Z, It's will be freeze a while. why? and how can I improve?

what a long post....Apple, btw, does not read this stuff, so ranting, raving, and complaining here might make you feel good, but it does no good at all. That being said, I, too have a Mac Pro Quad Core Xeon with 6 gigs of ram and an nVidia 8800 GT graphics card (not as good as yours, alas) and I've had no problems at all with it. Yes, it doesn't have Thunderbolt, but maybe we Mac pro owners will get lucky and someone will come out with an adapter (probably not). No, you probably don't have to throw away your Mac Pro, but if you do, I'll take it, for a small "recycling" fee >:-) That was a joke. Yes, the Mac Pro's future isn't quite clear, YET. Hopefully that will improve very soon. As for not being able to upgrade to Mountain Lion. Don't worry about that too much, Nobody is forcing you to do that. Your Mac Pro won't quit working if it isn't installed. From what I've heard, you should give the new OS a chance, and wait to get it, in case there might be some bugs, or stuff not working with the new OS, which has been known to happen. Yes, we Mac Pro owners don't like being treated like mushrooms-kept in the dark, and being fed......... but Apple is Apple and it will do what it does, and there is nothing you or me can really do to change that. All I can say is....trust, have faith, be patient, go for a walk, do something else to take your mind off of this problem. IF apple decides to drop the Mac Pro for good, and that's a big "IF", I think they will anger a whole bunch of people
which isn't good. However, that hasn't happened...YET. Let us hope that it doesn't

On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document created from MAC

Hi all,
On Windows Platform, encounters error when trying to open an Indesign document in INDD format created from Mac. Error received "Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by other application". I am currently using Adobe Indesign CC 9.2 Trial version.
Kindly advise how can i open this document on windows platform and allows me to edit the document.
Thanks!
With Rgds,
Fiona Choy

Normally there is no problem to open any INDD opening on Windows, when created on the Mac.
But Mac user are often not aware on the naming limitations. A file name must not contain /, \, |, :
It should not contain any extended character, it is not a primary problem but will be, if something links to that file, so avoid also: ÄÖÜäöüß+&
You can use all other non A-Z a-z, 0-9 and - and _
I personally would also recommend to avoid spaces.
This is valid for the INDD file itself but also for all linked content.

I am about to buy a new computer and I noticed that the system comes with Windows8. I have Photoshop CS6 for windows 7. My question is can this be loaded onto the new windows 8 and if so what steps do i have to take?. Are there any things to avoid?
