Photoshop error Creative Suite 5.5

I recently installed Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium (for windows.)
While running Photoshop, I will get the following error message:
The instruction at "0X6963932b" referenced memory at "0X000000a0" (or sometimes "0X00000980")
The memory could not be "read"
Click on OK to terminate the program.
Click on CANCEL to debug the program.
Then the program terminates. The only way I can start Photoshop again is to reboot the computer.
I've run diagnostics on the memory and everything checks out okay.
I also find that when I shut down my computer after Photoshop terminates I get an error telling me that CARDREADERLOOKUP.exe is still running and I have to terminate the program before the computer will shut down. I don't know if that's related to the problem or not.
When I look at the programs listed in Adobe Creative Suites (from the Start menu), Photoshop is not listed.
Any suggestions? Should I re-install?

I also find that when I shut down my computer after Photoshop terminates I get an error telling me that CARDREADERLOOKUP.exe is still running and I have to terminate the program before the computer will shut down.
Sounds like the issue. Check your device manager and disable this device. photoshop is probably using it because it is listed as a TWAIN or WIA device and the driver is flakey. Also try to suppress the auto-start of that reader tool. I'm reasonably sure it realyl isn't necessary and just a quick-access helper kind of thing...

Photoshop on creative suite 2 not working

I have creative suite 2 and everything is working fine except photoshop. When i click on photoshop icon, a questionmark appeared on the icon and would not open. Is there any plug in missing, can that be fixed? i still have the software do i have install the whole package (4 installer discs) or a particular one?

I think i found the problem. i went to every single folder on creative suite. each folder has own app file which meant that indesign folder has indesign.app while photoshop has indesign.app instead of photoshop cs2 app. i think those files are mixed up and can that be fixed? i add screen shot.

Uprgade Photoshop from Creative Suites 2 to CS%

Can I do this? I enter my Creative Suite 2 serial number and CS2 as the program and it doesn't work. There is no option for Creative Suite. Is it not possible to upgrade ONLY Photoshop? Thanks

I found out from Adobe support that you cannot upgrade from Suites to a Point product.

Upgrade only Photoshop in Creative Suite 2 Premium

I have Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium. Is there any way to just upgrade the Photoshop portion to CS5?

Hello Chris, you can upgrade from suite-to-suite, but not from suite-to-component...
For more details see the "Upgrade eligibility, pricing, and purchasing options" section of Adobe's Creative Suite FAQ.
BTW, CS2 is the oldest version that would qualify for the discounted upgrade pricing to CS5.
Hope this helps answer your question!

Can I upgrade just Photoshop from Creative Suite 5?

I only want to pay for the CS6 upgrade for Photoshop. Is it possible if I have the CS5 creative suite or do I have to upgrade (and pay for) the whole thing?

Suites can only be upgraded to suites. There's no way to just upgrade a single program. It has been forever this way.

Updater error Creative Suite 5

I've uninstalled/deactivated Creative Suite 5 (CS5) from a Win 7 Pro laptop and installed/activated it on a new Win 8.1 laptop. Programs in CS5 run and appear to be correctly activated (help menus only offer deactivation option). When I run the Updater, however, the downloaded CS5 updates 'failed to install" and clicking the "Customer Support" hyperlink in the Updater dialog bring up an Adobe web page indicating "This serial number is not for a qualifying product". I used Adobe chat support to confirm the deactivation/activation and correct product serial number. As there is no way to enter a serial number through the Updater, Adobe chat support had no other suggestion than to post this problem as a question on the forum.
I want to apply the updates to my CS5 programs. What now?

update manually, http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/

Attached current error message in below.

Ps5003575 did you uninstall Photoshop prior to reinstalling? The error indicates it is unable to update the existing Photoshop application package. You can find additional details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC.

Photoshop and Creative Suite 6

I purchased these products and I registered them on the Adobe Website, when I tried to install Windows8 my computer crashed and I was not able to recovery these Adobe programs. Will you allow me an install for my recently purshased computer?

Hi Alvin Jackson
You can install and activate a software on two computers, not simultaneously. So you can install your products now on the other Windows8 computer. See the product license agreements page for more information.
Please let us know if this was helpful,
Thanks!

Why am I only getting regular Photoshop from Creative Cloud???

Installing Photoshop CS6 on my Mac using Creative Cloud. Photoshop CS6 comes in regular not extended. Isn't extended the version offered? Why am I only getting regular Photoshop???

Hi Juergen,
I'll forward your concern to our Product Managers. I understand that it can be frustrating to see features disabled after licensing the product. With the addition of subscription pricing, there's added questions as to what is included with each option. We're working to clearly communicate the offerings but there's more to be done.
For a little more background, Adobe has always enabled the trial license as Photoshop Extended since it was introduced in CS3. The basic reason being with a single installer, one can try the full range of Photoshop features, then with a serial number enable what's desired. We use other marketing material to try and differentiate the features that are only enabled for the Photoshop Extended version.
This solution has its problems, and distributing separate installers for Photoshop and Photoshop Extended has other problems.
My basic cheat sheet after activation looks like this:
Single installer package for all offerings
Trial license — Photoshop Extended
Photoshop Extended (perpetual license) — Photoshop Extended
Photoshop (perpetual license) — Photoshop
CS Subscription (Photoshop) — Photoshop
Creative Cloud Membership — Photoshop Extended
Creative Suite editions (perpetual license): (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/buying-guide.html)
          Design Standard — Photoshop
          Design and Web Premium — Photoshop Extended
          Production Premium — Photoshop Extended
          Master Collection — Photoshop Extended
Again, I'm sorry this isn't clearer and you had a bad experience.
regards,
steve

Can't install Illustrator from Creative Suite (serial number not recognized)

Years ago, I bought the first Creative Suite (upgrade). Illustrator was working fine on my old computer. Since then, I've upgraded Photoshop and Dreamweaver individually (I didn't upgrade Creative Suite).
Now I need to install Illustrator on my new computer, but the installation fails:
(1) I tried to install Illustrator separately (from the Illustrator setup.exe file on the disks) and I input the only serial number I have (which is for Creative Suite) and get a "this isn't an Illustrator serial number".
(2) I tried to install Creative Suite but it prompts me for the location of Photoshop ... an OLDER version of Photoshop. I've got Photoshop CS5, but the installation correctly says that isn't an earlier version.
I believe I purchased my first Photoshop in 1997-ish. Do I really have to start from the beginning and install EVERY VERSION of Photoshop that I ever bought/upgraded in order to install Illustrator from the CS upgrade disk?
I tried looking for an Adobe phone number, but no joy.

> Which versions of which software do you have exactly?
Have, or installed?
I have Photoshop LE, Photoshop 4.1 (I think it was -- the first version with layers), Photoshop 5.5, Photoshop 6, Creative Suite, Photoshop CS2, and Photoshop CS5.
After I purchased Creative Suite, I just wanted to upgrade the individual programs rather than the whole Creative Suite. However, I believe I purchased upgrades all along the way.
For Dreamweaver (though not the issue here), I started with the Macromedia programs, so the upgrade line started 'way back at Macromedia (and the installation of Adobe DW upgrades requires live tech support; unfortunately, as I can no longer find a phone number for Adobe, I guess I'd better hope nothing ever happens).
Anyway, does that help? You can see why I don't want to reinstall all those versions just to install Illustrator.
(And thanks for your help.)

Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Universal?

Hello! I've installed my an old version of Photoshop recently on my MacBook Pro and I noticed a lot of lag and slow downs when I'm drawing with my Wacom tablet on the canvas. I was just wondering if Adobe released a universal version of Photoshop and Creative Suite as I need to design my art portfolio for my clients to see. Thanks!

There's a Universal Binary (Beta) of CS3 available here

Hello, I bought and subscribed to Creative suite in June, for Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Bridge, but my subscription is telling me I only have Photoshop, can you tell me how to rectify this error, so i can download creative suite onto my desktop

Thanks for your reply. I was able to find help through a tech support chat session and the person helped me edit my /etc/hosts file and it solved the problem.
For anyone else experiencing this issue (Mac OS X):
Close all other programs and sign out from the Adobe Desktop App
From the Finder, Go > Go to Folder...
Type /etc and hit enter
Find "hosts" file (only "hosts", there were similar files such as hosts.config but only open the one that says "hosts"
Open the file, and replace the entire content with ### Host Database## localhost is used to configure the loopback interface#
Close the file, sign back into the Adobe Desktop App
Problem solved!

Installation errors for Photoshop Creative Suite 4

I did not have success with any solutions suggested for this installation problem. Microsoft has since sent me a message telling me that this application is not compatible with my new computer (Toshiba running Windows 7). It ran just fine on my HP (running Vista). I tried using the Troubleshooting application to see if changing settings on my computer would help - it did not. That is when I submitted the problem to Microsoft and got the response that it is not compatible with my computer. Uggg! Lotta money to spend on an application that becomes obsolete!

My apologies. Speaking out of frustration. I am a fairly good user, but technically, obviously lack some skills to appropriately find my way around this problem.
Here's as much information that I have:
My old computer was an HP Pavillion running Vista OS that I originally ran Adobe Photoshop Creative Suites 4 on with no issues.
I purchased a new computer last month - Toshiba Satellite S70-ABT3N22 Laptop
Processor is Intell Core i5-4200M Processor (3M Cache, up to 3.10GHz) with Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0
Microsoft Operating Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) with recovery media for Windows 8.1 Pro
Memory is 12GB DDR3L 1600MHz SDRAM (8GB + 4GB)
Hard Disk Drive 1TB (5400 rpm, Serial ATA)
Graphics Controller - Integrated Graphics
Display 17.3" diagonal widescreen HD+ (1600x900) TrueBrite LED Backlit display
Wireless Lan & Bluetooth - Wi-Fi Wireless networking (802.11b/g/n) (150Mbps)
Microsoft Office Software Office Home & Business 2013

1. When I first tried to install Photoshop, I got the error that stopped on RGB settings.
I then ran Adobe Support Advisor diagnostic and got this message:
I then tried the solution that was recommended - going into the color folder and removing the files, transfer them to a folder that I created on my desktop. However, the files would not cut, since they were in use. They then recommended another solution - go into another folder, remove those files and try again. However, when I went to look for that folder, it did not exist.
This is when I went to the forum and asked if anyone had a solution.
Compatibility mode was suggested. I got further information on this and went through the process, launching the application Compatibility Mode. It asked me what system I had previously used to run Photoshop. I entered Vista. It reset my computer to be compatible with those settings and again I tried to install Photoshop. The installation stalled at the RGB.
I went back and tried Vista Service Pack 1, same result, Then Vista Service Pack 2, same result, then hit I don't know. Same result. That's when I hit the send to Microsoft for further help and solutions.
That is when I got the message back from Microsoft that this Photoshop application was not compatible with this Windows 7 Operating system.
I hope this isn't too much, but it's what I have and hopefully I haven't offended anyone overmuch with my previous rant.
Thank you for your help and willingness to look into these matters for everyone.
