Photoshop fail to open - Scanning for plugins

I have been using Photoshop CS3
for a couple of years with no problem. Did not make any hardware/software changes.
Now when attempting to open, it starts to open and stops at "scanning for Plugins".
I have reset the "prefs.psp file and deleted the plugincache.psp file, rebooted and it
continues to stop at "scanning for plugins" . Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Problem solved.
I have another version of Photoshop CS3 running on another computer (#1).
1. Copied entire plugins folder from this computer (#1) to flash drive
2. Delete entire plugins folder from computer (#2) with scanning for plugins problem.
3. Paste entire plugins folder from flash drive to computer (#2)
4. Reboot computer (#2), open Photoshop, no problems.
Thanks to all

Photoshop CC gets stuck on scanning for plugins

Windows 8.1 i7 256Gb SSHD
Photoshop Creative Cloud newly updated
On clicking photoshop icon task manager show photoshop stuck in Background Process
doesn't move up to Apps
if photoshop later starts after many minutes then
it gets stuck for minutes on scanning for plugins
when scanning for plugins task manager shows that it is essentially idle
whereas LR opens immediately and shows CPU use up over 20%
PS CC still at zero
about 10 or 15 minutes later then PS finally wakes up
What is the problem with photoshop getting stuck on not starting only starting as a background process and then not scaning for plug ins until 5 or 10 minutes later?

A frequent reason for stalling Photoshop on start up, are bad font files, so I would think the same would be true with a corrupted filter or plugin.
CC handles third party plugins differently to older versions, and you can't point to a folder like you could with CS6 etc. This link might help

Ps elements 5.0 freezes at "scanning for plugins"

I have photoshop elements 5.0, and have had no problems with it for the past couple years that I've had it until now. Each time I open the program, it freezes, and it says that it is "scanning for plugins". I'm using it on windows vista. I tried uninstalling all adobe software I had on my computer and then reinstalling it on the advice of a friend, but this didn't help the situation. What should I do to get my photoshop to work again?

In the plug-ins folder, under the subfolder of import-export there was a plug-in called Twain_32. Is that the same thing? Because when I deleted that, there was no change.
Same thing. A little late, but you could have just disabled it by renaming it with the ~ (tilde) sign before the name instead of deleting it.
If it was twain, I would think it would hang on building twain not scanning for plug ins. Here's a tech doc on twain anyway...

First, try a reset of the application preference file.
Windows: Press and hold in as you launch, the ctrl + shift + alt keys as you launch the editor. Do not release these three keys...ctrl + shift + alt keys. A dialog box will come up saying something like "Delete Photoshop Elements settings file?" After this dialog comes up, you can release those three keys. click "OK" to accept.
Mac: Use above instructions to reset the application except change the shortcut key combo to cmd + shift + opt.
Check if Elements loads correctly.
(Maybe, you pointed Elements in your preferences to an external folder with a native filter that belongs to another version of Elements or Photoshop which can cause conflict. The application reset will remove that check mark so if it works with a reset then you point the plug ins folder to another folder and you get a hang then you have a conflicting plug in in that folder.)
If it doesn't....
Have you moved a native plug in from another version of Photoshop or Photoshop Elements into the Photoshop Elements 5.0 plugin folder? Having another version of Element's or Photoshop's filter in Elements will create conflicts. You might also check that you haven't installed a version of Camera Raw that doesn't belong in your version of Elements. (The Camera Raw would probably give a Camera Raw error but something to check since it's stalling at plug ins.)
Have you recently added any 3rd party plug ins...meaning downloaded and installed a plug in that did not come with Elements? If so, rename them it or them with a ~ before the name.
Check if Elements starts. If so, you can remove ~ mark from each plug in one at a time then restart until you get the hang. This will tell you which plug in causes Elements to hang.

Crash on startup 'Scanning for Plugins'

Help! In a moment of lax attention I've done something stupid to the Photoshop CS version (original 1) and told it to search C:/programfiles for plugins whereas I meant to tell it specifically where to look.
So now it crashes when it gets to the 'Scanning for Plugins' part and of course I can't alter it back to what it should be.
Now when I run Image Ready the plugins are still as normal...
System Restore doesn't change the settings. Uninstall of the Photoshop component doesn't put it right either.
Can someone tell me what to do (maybe uninstall/reinstall the entire CS suite - but I guess even then it will still have the bad settings)
So is it a registry thing and if so what needs to be done to stop it searching the entire hard drive programs for plugins.
Help would be most appreciated.
Kind regards.
John.

delete "PluginCache.psp"
it should be in something like:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Adobe Photoshop CS Settings
that folder is hidden. make sure you have the ability to see hidden files and folders turned on in explorer.
if that doesn't clear it, delete:
"Adobe Photoshop CS Prefs.psp" (i think that's the name, i don't currently have cs installed...

Hi LegalEngineer-
Which operating system are you using? It seems like either you got a bad Driver CD disk or that your Windows Installer might need to be updated.
You can find updated driver downloads for all NI hardware at Drivers and Updates at ni.com. I generally prefer this method because it avoids installing unnecessary software and also ensures that all drivers are up to date.

Hi Mike,
First of all, thank you so much for responding and sorry I forgot to mention my CPU; fortunately I **DO** have the 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor so I could upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Two Questions:
1. Do you know whether Snow Leopard sold by Apple is an upgrade or "clean install?" If it's not a clean install, do you know (off-hand) if there are any upgrade issues? I'm very partiall to a clean install.
2. Why does Adobe state (for updating Flash Player 10.3 when Adobe knows that [most likely] the 10.3 versions run on Mac OS 10.5.x? See statement and link below...

http://blogs.adobe.com/flashplayer/2013/05/extended-support-release-updated-to-flash-playe r-11-7.html
We’re happy to announce that we are updating the version of our extended support release to Flash Player 11.7 on Mac and Windows. Flash Player 11.7 will replace version 10.3 as the extended support version beginning July 9, 2013.
In order to continue receiving security updates, an upgrade to either Flash Player 11.7, or the standard Flash Player 11.8 release is required.
Flash Player 11.7 provides exciting new features, including Actionscript concurrency, webcam support for StageVideo and more. It also enables Protected Mode for FireFox on Windows, a sophisticated security-in-depth feature. With Protected Mode, Flash Player runs as restricted process, making it more difficult for attackers to build working exploits. Click here to learn more.
Flash Player 11.7 leverages hardware acceleration for audio, video and rendering to increase performance and lower CPU usage.
To ensure the smoothest possible transition, we encourage IT organizations deploying Flash Player 11.7 in managed environments to thoroughly test audio and video playback for critical use-cases using the latest available version before deploying this release widely. When hardware-related playback and stability problems do arise, updating to the latest hardware drivers frequently resolves these issues.As a secondary workaround, the Flash Player Administrator’s Guide details mechanisms for disabling hardware and audio acceleration via mms.cfg.
We have been hard at work to make Flash Player better than ever, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with a great web experience.

Logic scans for plugins

when i start logic it scans for this NI akoustik piano plugin i had...I had a demo but deleted it because it was annoying me, and now it still scans for the plugin but fails...this causes me to abort the scan...which causes logic to not pick up any of my other plugins. how can i make logic stop checking for the akoustic piano. I cant figure out how to delete/ reset this preference.
thanks.

One way is to look in Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components/ directory and remove the Akoustik Piano plug-in.
Another way is using an Audio Unit plug-in manager like Audio Unit Manager:
http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/audiounitmanager/
Launch this and uncheck the offending plug-in and it'll move it into another folder "Components (Disabled)"

Hello friends,
Kindly help me...
If we know the path to the document, is there any suit or interface available in photoshop cs2's sdk for opening a document in photoshop window?

Photoshop CC not opening - asking for license or to start trial

All the sudden, PS is not opening. Bridge opens, but not PS. Wants me to start trial, or enter serial # ... which I don't know. What's the problem?

Welcome to the club. The whole CC licensing subsystem is crawling with bugs, and this is one of the most annoying. Which is too bad, because it's a brilliant and very user-friendly system when it works as advertised.
The CC forum is full of this. The latest official fix seems to be this one. This particular fix is Windows only (didn't help me on Win 7 though). But Macs are affected equally:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/unable-login-creative-cloud-248.html
But the diagnosis given there seems to be correct. I'm signed out whenever I connect a certain external USB drive. So I don't do that, and since I stopped doing it I have remained signed in. Others have been signed out changing network connection. The common element seems to be a slight change in hardware status.
I'm sitting it out, waiting for an update or a more conclusive fix.

Photoshop fails to open

I have just installed CS2 as I had to uninstall my old (legal) version because of lack of support . Everything went smoothly until I attempted to load PS at which point I got the message "Your Adobe PS user name/ organization or serial number is missing or invalid. The application cannot continue & must now exit" I run Mac OS 10.6.8. on a macbook Any ideas?

Hi HesterThomas,

The Open Procedure for service "WDSTFTP" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdstftp.dll" failed. WDS not PXE booting!

This morning came in to find clients were not getting there bootfiles through PXE. I checked the logs to find the following events related to WDS.
The Open Procedure for service "WDSTFTP" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdstftp.dll" failed
The Open Procedure for service "WDSServer" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdssrv.dll" failed
The Open Procedure for service "WDSMC" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdsmc.dll" failed
Has anyone seen this or have a link to a resolution?

Hotfix loaded but didn't help.
Found a few articles referring to rebuilding the perf counter library. I ran "lodctr /R" failed first time then worked the second time. I believe the errors:
The Open Procedure for service "WDSTFTP" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdstftp.dll" failed
The Open Procedure for service "WDSServer" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdssrv.dll" failed
The Open Procedure for service "WDSMC" in DLL "C:\Windows\system32\wdsmc.dll" failed
Are gone but PXE boot still fails.
Do you think I might have to uninstall WDS and reinstall? "Using SCCM console to just remove PXE"

Run postflight script for Plugin - step failed for mac

So when I try and install adobe flash player on my mac OS X version 10.5, I get a message saying "The following install step failed: run postflight script for plugin. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

Hello,
Flash Player no longer supports OS X 10.5. The last version to support OS X 10.5 is 10.3.183.90. You can download an archive.dmg file containing this version from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html. After downloading and extracting the files, you'll want to install the file 'flashplayer_10_3r183_90_mac_intel.dmg'.
