BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

What is the solution to DDE Server Window: Photoshop.exe - Application Error?

I updated Photoshop CS4 Extended version 11.2 today (6/11/10) and now when I close it down I receive the following error:

Well, if this only happens with your plugin installed, a first guess would be that it is a bug in the plugin your wrote.

Photoshop CS4 - Application Error

I just installed the CS4 Creative Suite 4. Everytime i try to launch photoshop cs4 i recieve an "Photoshop.exe Application Error." This error refferences 0x6963561b and that memory cannot be read at 0x0000008c. Can anyone please help me with this?? I have not even been able to use photoshop yet. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the suite and I get the same results... Please help.
Thanks for your time and help with this matter.

You don't have the correct secrutiy privileges:
You have to install PS as Admin on Vista/Windows 7. When you first install the software don't run it. Go to your DVD drive and explore. Look for the PS folder and find the .exe install file. Right click on this and choose run as Admin. (there is a difference between being a admin on a computer and installing software in the Admin mode)
So when you first start PS in Vista/Windows 7 you have to run the software in Admin mode to get all the privileges.
Right click on the PS icon, choose properties, compatibility tab and then check Run this program as an administrator. Click Apply then OK to close. Then restart PS.
Don't forget to update PS CS4 to 11.01.

Photoshop.exe 64bit error 0xc000007b on photoshop startup

I just got a new computer and installed a 15$ trial cd of master suite collection. The 32 bit version of photoshop works fine but when i click on a .psd file that is already created i get this error photoshop.exe 64bit error 0xc000007b the application need to be closed. Is there a solution
I using Windowss 7 Home pre 64bit.
system specs; windows 7 homepre 64bit 6gb ddr2 ram processor amd phneom 965 graphic card this nvdia geforce gt 220

That error is usually caused by a bad registry error.
You wrote that you installed Photoshop on the new computer. The next sentence you wrote you installed the master suite try out. Did you actually install CS4 then installed the master suite over that? Little confused here.
You cannot install the master suite over the CS4 already installed because the master suite already has CS4 installed as a package. That may be where your error is at.
Anyways here is a link to the creative suite forums. They may be able to help you out better.

Photoshop Service Application Error

I just installed Premere Elements 9. When I open Organizer in the Premere Elements welcome screen I get the message
Font Capture: Photoshop Service.exe Application Error
The instruction at "0x103e8453" referenced memory at "0x0000a74". The memory could not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the program.
Since I had no other choice I clicked on OK.
In the past I have hade a problem with Elements Organizer - Each time I opened Organizer the region/county box appeared. Now, Organizer no longer requests the region / country when I opened it.
Can any one tell me what all this means and should I be concerned about the Photoshop Service.exe application error?

I'd recommend you contact Adobe Tech Support with this one. It's not a typical issue by any means!

Explorer.exe application error "Memory could not be written" ?! OS seems stuck now

(Model # m6-k010dx) My new laptop after 13 months automatically updated from windows 8 to 8.1 after I had said 'no' as many times as it allowed. After the update my files are still on it and most things are there but it seems 'stuck' and the orange screen keeps flickering like start to desktop so fast you usually can't even click anything in time to open it before it switches. I was told that the drivers probably needed to be updated first (eventhough I am pretty sure I kept up with all my other updates that popped up the only one I postponed was 8.1) and that I should refresh it, so I lose my programs but keep my files. I'm so sad I now lost Photoshop cs6 and my prefered antivirus (webroot) But anyway back to 8.0, it functioned fine aside from annoying pop ups to install norton antivirus no thank you, i bought webroot again. no updates were available.
I went to HP.com drivers update, searched for my pc and its correct update, and next thing I know is it's installing windows 8.1....??!
So again when it's 'done' and reboots, the screens flicker forever. I shut down, restart, same. so I put it back to windows 8...it will install 8.1 on its own any day now.. Please help asap!!!
Also forgot to mention when the screens are flickering, a few explorer exe application errors pop up on occaision. IE: "the instruction at 0xaa0c663c referenced memory at 0xaa0c663c. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program." was one the last time,
and the time before it, the initial windows 8.1 update when I still had Webroot antivirus, the pop up said "the instruction at 0x9b63663c referenced memory at 0x9b63663c. The memory could not be written. Click ok to terminate the program." the other pop ups the initial time came from Webroot - IE: "This file is trying to install itself to start every time the computer turns on C: /Windows/system32/DrvInst (dot) exe" and gives the options to block, allow once, or allow always.
Another trying to install every time computer starts is "C: /WINDOWS/system32/wbem/WMIADAP (dot) EXE"
and another is : "Process ID: 4244
Thread ID: 3460
Event Type: Registry
Access: Write
Registry Key: /REGISTRY/MACHINE/SYSTEM/ControlSet001/Services/NDIS/IfTypes/131

I searched all of those but found nothing. How can I have a smooth update? THank you in advance

Hi @ASAP666 ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY m6-k010dx Sleekbook and trying to update to Windows 8.1. Before updating did you make sure your system was up to date with Windows. Here is something from Microsoft that might help.
Looking into this I have found that it is a driver issue usually associated with USB devices.
Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues.
Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.
I recommend to do this update to disable your Anti Virus or Webroot temporarily to allow the update to go through.
Please let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

CS6Service Manager.exe Application Error unable to start 0xc000007b

Have had this problem for couple of weeks. Uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled, still getting same error message. Hate to format and rebuild Windows 7, sure could use some advice.

Appreciate you pointing me in that direction, tried pasteing the files that they are refernecing with no luck at this point.
My CS6 Photoshop does run but every few minutes I get the CS6ServiceManger.exe application error (0xc000007b).
The same error appears on start up of Windows 7.
Service manager is in the start up, I suspect what ever is preventing this from running on start up is the source of the whole problem.
This has only become a problem on the lastest CS6 update.

Please advise

Hi,
Does Word start in Safe Mode?
Press Win key + R, type "winword.exe /safe" in the blank box, press Enter.
If Word can start in Safe Mode, the issue should be related to 3rd-party add-ins, disable the suspicious add-ins to determine which one caused the problem.
You can also try repairing Office from Control Panel -> Programs and Features, check if this helps.

Hi Tim,
Uninstalling
KB3045999 works as a workaround like Wastashi said. We too have this problem.
@Karen Hu: Startup repair didn't find anything here and this is probably because the system boots properly but only after a user logs in the "Error: userinit.exe - Application Error : The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000018)"
appears. Safe mode works however and after I disabled all the startup items and rebooted I could successfully logon once, but this could be coincidence because sometimes after a reboot you can login as pointed out by Tim NL. However a few seconds
after I successfully logged in and saw the desktop, the pc rebooted spontaneously. Any idea what this could be causing? Virus scanner maybe?

Acrodist.exe application error

I installed Adobe Acrobat 7.0 successfully. But when I convert a word file into PDF file, a error message pop-up as " AcroDist.exe application error --- the instruction at "0x0048C9e5" referenced memory at "0x0190eb6c", The memory could not be "read" Click on OK to terminate the program "
If I click the program Acrobat Distiller, the same message box shows up.
I tried to uninstalled and re-installed. Couldn't solve the problem.
need help.

This problem came up on my laptop today and I have found a solution, at least on mine. I was getting the exact same error as above (with different memory locations) when I tried to start Distiller (Acrobat 7.0). It had worked fine for years. On mine it was limited to my specific user account. I could run Distiller fine from the Administrator account. I also created a new standard user account to test with and it ran fine from that one as well. But it wouldn't run from my personal account. So I knew it was something with that specific account.
To make a long story short, it ended up being a corrupt cache. You can find the cache in the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your user name]\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\Distiller 7\
What I did was just rename the old cache folder and let distiller recreate it. That fixed it. Good luck.
