Photoshop locks when I open a file

I have CS5 and CS6.  I had downloaded FontExplorer X but subsequently uninstalled it because I was not using it.  Then the problems started... if I missed the little dialogue box that would pop up when I opened a file, PS would be locked.  So I went to my plugin folder and deleted the folder for FontExplorer X all together.  Now I can't even get a file to open in PS; it just locks and I can't do anything but end task from my task manager.
I am running Windows 7 on a PC.  How can I get this plugin gone once and for all?  I tried to go to Edit>Preferences>Plugins but without opening a file (which locks PS) I can't get to that menu choice.
Please help.    

You may have to simply uninstall Photoshop altogether, then delete the remaining application folder as it may contain support files for FontExplorer. Then reinstall and try again.

  • Photoshop crashes when i open a file: reading photoshop format & crashes

    My Photoshop was working fine, then i tried to open an already existing file and a progress bar comes up and tells me : Reading Photoshop Format, it seems to stick at the beginning of the progress bar and then photoshop just crashes and closes. I can create and save new files but not open already existing files. Please Please HELP!

  • MAC OS Yosemite - CS6 - A while back, i did something to where when i open a file in photoshop, it no longer is one window, now it's two separete ones. one for the program itself, and another for the actual file how do it get it back to where it's all one

    - A while back, i did something to where when i open a file in photoshop, it no longer is one window, now it's two separete ones. one for the program itself, and another for the actual file how do it get it back to where it's all one window without having to be in full screen mode? I've managed to go some time like this, but right now it's just really annoying me. HELP!!!

    Just drag the small window to the top right below the toolbar, you'll see the area highlighted and when you drop it the file should dock.

  • When I open the file menu in Lr4 it no longer says Upgrade photoshop elements.

    When I open the file in the library modgule of Lr4 it no longer says Upgrade photoshop elements.I recently upgraded my antivirus software ina download and it had to shut down my system to load. I lost a bunch of files ,folders and presets. The files and folders could be tranfered from elements 11 but I lost that link.No all it says is import from application. Does anyone know whats up?

    Download 4.2 Revel blah blah message?  You mean the dialog that asks you to upgrade to 4.2?  I'm not sure why it's dinging - probably another open dialog - but the easy fix would just be to update to 4.2 from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5488

  • I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

    Flattening and merging are very similar. The main difference is merging keeps the transparent areas, whereas flattening removes all transparent areas by giving it a white background. A good example of flattening is a jpg image.
    Since you have closed the file by closing photoshop, that means that the history is now gone, no way of undoing.
    So that leaves you with two choices.
    You can either recreate the whole document.
    Or you can make selections of areas you are keeping and moving them one at a time to new layers. Keep each object on a separate layer. Then redo the area behind those objects.

  • Photoshop crashing when I open jpeg or create new

    I recently upgraded my Capture One software to v.4 (which included the installation of microsoft .net framework. Now Photoshop crashes when I open a jpeg file or create a new.
    I did notice that when it opens the Initializing Type Tool progress bar doesn't show up and I just noticed on the blue start up window something called "Building TWAIN" - I had read in a previous thread about a TWAIN plug in attaching itself to photoshop. Could that be my problem?
    How do I find that file?

    It's in the plug-in folder!
    Since you failed to mention either your OS or PS versions I can't be more specific.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

  • Since the installation of Firefox 8, I cannot download a specific file type from email. I use this for work and MUST be able to open these files with a specific software. When FF opens the file, it changes the extension and it will not open. Help!!!

    I use the Microsoft Outlook Web App for work email. I receive files with a .RXML extension. This has always worked just fine until the latest version of Firefox came out (I was using FF 7 until this weekend). Now FF changes the extension to .ashx when I open the file and I cannot download it into my software. If I go to the company internet site and download directly from there, it does the same thing. But I can open these files just fine from IE. I REALLY don't want to have to go back to IE.

    I opened one of the PDF files in notepad and these are the first couple lines:

  • I have a new Sony alpha 77ii.  My PS version is 5.0.  When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files.  How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

    I have a new  Sony alpha 77ii.  My PS version is 5.0.  When I open the files with Bridge they are .ARW files.  How do I convert them to JPEG's or something I can view and edit?

    You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
    Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
    Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.
