Photoshop encounters an error and needs to close when I start it up.

So a while ago I finally figured out my problem with the Photoshop installation and installed it with no errors. However, whenever I run Photoshop, it crashes. All of my graphics drivers are updated, I tried putting the tilde beside the "scriptingsomething.8li" file, and some other stuff, but nothing is working.
Here's the error description:
AppName: photoshop.exe
AppVer: 12.1.0.0
ModName: sdhook32.dll
ModVer: 2.0.5.1
Offset: 00034e67
Specs:
2.5 GB RAM
1024 MB ATI Radeon 4600 Series IceQ (Catalyst Control Software for drivers)
2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 processor (single core)
Windows XP Service Pack 3
I don't know if anyone needs the specs or anything, but I assume it's important.
Also, if anyone remembers my old topic, I finally got an admin password. :l Even if I run everything as an admin, it doesn't work.
Help would be much appreciated. If this is in the wrong section, sorry, but the Windows section is read only now evidently.

Hello!
So, I guess that, since then, you've purchased Photoshop?
Is this a new machine, as you were using a nVidia videocard back then.
According to Mylenium's link, try to disable the other software, that wrongly detects malware inside Photoshop's code. (It is a legit install, I'll guess, otherwise, you would not post in the official Adobe forum, so there is no chance that someone tempered with the original files)

"itunes has experienced an error and needs to close"

while trying to import my c.d. collection to itunes, i quite often get the message "itunes has experienced an error and needs to close. do you want to send the error to microsoft?" it usually takes me about 20 minutes to import 1 c.d. to itunes becuase i have to keep re-opening itunes after it closes. i never lose anything i have already imported. sometimes i will get through 5 songs before i get the error message, sometimes i cant get through a single song. whats the deal here??

What if you try importings CDs to your computer (not to iTunes) Is this normally working? If yes the problem is in ITunes and if no the problem is maybe your CD player. If the problem is in iTunes you should try to download the latest version from the Apple pages and then update/reinstall.

"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" -Gapless Playback

I've had this problem for a while now and I'm just plain sick of it!
Every time I start up iTunes it does the "Determining Gapless Playback" thing, but when it gets to certain songs it freezes up and I get an error message that says:
"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
This happenes to a lot of songs (a few dozen)and the only way I can actually access my library is by hitting the 'x'next to "Determining Gapless Playback" before it gets to the songs. However, now I can't even do that because it gets to the song immediately.
I need to know if I can disable the gapless playback or somehow debug this (I have reinstalled iTunes, Quicktime works, I have reloaded my library, done a system restore,and changed users/startup programs... nothing works)
PLEASE help!
I run XP if that helps.

Kar,
Check out the steps Roy B posted in this thread. They are long and a bit convoluted, but they seem to have done the trick for many others having this problem.

"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close" - can't open iTunes

Hi guys,
I'm a huge Apple fan so I obviously decided to upgrade to Apple 7.0.1 the day it came out... installed it. Opened it up, but within just a few seconds i got a Windows message saying
"iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close"
I reinstalled it and still have the same problem.
First few days I could atleast keep iTunes open for a few minutes before the message, but now its down to just a few seconds.
I run Windows XP if that helps any.
Please help me fix this problem or tell me how I can put iTunes 6 back on my computer --- I need my music!
Thanks

After downloading and installing 7.0.1 my iTunes would not open either. Even worse is you can't go back to v6 if you had v7 running--the database is updated.
Luckily I was able to get my iTunes to open again by doing the following:
Click Start/Run
Type in "%userprofile%\application data\apple computer"
Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
Close the window.
Click Start/Run again.
Type in "%userprofile%\local settings\application data\apple computer"
Right click on the iTunes folder and rename it to iTunes.bak.
Close the window.
Try opening your iTunes again. It may re-ask some general setup questions, but mine opened without the error, and it still had all my music. However, I did have to re-authorize my computer.
I used to never be leary about updating iTunes... guess Apple's software ain't no peach, either.
Hope this helps someone.

Excel encountered an error and need to close

Hello
We suddenly have Excel crashing with one single report among others saying 'Excel encountered an error and needs to close'.
The report run last week and we didn't change it meanwhile, nor did we change the Excel version.
Version: SAP BPC 5.1 on SQL 2005 running with Excel 2003
What we already tried:
- full process of all dimensions
- reinstall of office client
- open/save the report with another excel version (2002) outside BPC
Does anybody know this behaviour and does anybody have an idea to workaround it?
For me honestly a reinstall of Excel or to rebuild the whole report would put in question the quality of BPC in general.
Thanks and kind regards.
Miramar

You could probably try re-house the report into a new excel workbook.
Literally copy across the sheet contents and see if that fixes it.
This technique works sometimes where excel reports/templates can get corrupted...

CTIOS encountered an error and needs to close

We frequently get the "CTIOS encountered an error and needs to close" while trying to launch CTIOS desktop( CTI out of box). This usually gets fixed when we reinstall the application. But this issue is so frequent that i am wondering what the root cause may be and fix for that, instead of reinstalling the app every time this issue occurs.Any help on this is appreciated.

Thanks for your quick response Geoff , Unfortunately the desktop does not write anything in the client log files when it shows this error. I assumed that this has something to do with the corruption of DLL files. I am not sure how to trace back to the roots.I have seen many posts in this forum who faced the same problem, so thought some one would have found some alternative solution than reinstalling the application.
Thanks for your help.

ITUNES SHOWS ERROR AND NEED TO CLOSE

Hi,
itunes page shows error and need to close everytime I plug in the iphone to my desktop. why?

+"iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close."+
let's first check to see if this is associated with a problem with your QuickTime. (iTunes needs a properly functioning QuickTime in order to work correctly.)
try launching your QuickTime. does it:
(a) launch perfectly fine?
(b) fail to launch with an error message? (if so, what does it say?)
(c) exhibit other peculiar behavior? (if so, could you describe it for us?)

Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close

Hi,
I hv installed SAP ECC6.0 SR3 on WIndows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition. Many times i get an popup message on Windows Server "Generic Host process for WIN32 encountered an error and needed to close"
I hv checked the Event Viewer, in Event Viewer it shows the application error.
Consequences of this error is that my Transport path //hostname/sapmnt/trans becomes inaccesible, and I have to take the restart of Windows server to solve the problem. ONce Windows server is restarted for some time transports work, Again when receiving the same error popup on Windows, Transport path goes down.
Can anyone give input on this???

Hello,
You have posted a question that is related to system transports. Unfortunately this category is not related to these kind of questions. SAP TM deals with logistics in the real world - moving pallets, containers, loading trucks, etc.
