Photoshop not opening files

Photoshop CS5 will not open files. Occasionally if i try to open a .psd file that has already been created by double clicking on it in its folder, it will open but I will hardly be able to edit it. For example, the brush tool does not work, crop tool, resizing image etc. I had this problem 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled adobe creative suite, ran the adobe cloud cleanup tool and then reinstalled the programs and everything worked again. However after a week everything suddenly went back to the way it was again. Very frustrating! I might as well mention that at the same time as Photoshop "crashed" I also became unable to drag objects in Illustrator and InDesign.
I am not very good on the technical side so I just copied all my performance info below. I am working from a laptop with a mouse plugged into the usb port. Is there any other details you need to know?
Thank you in advance for your help!

With 2 gigs of RAM you are just too out of date for modern software. Try bumping RAM up to max of 4 gigs.
Ideally you should be running the 64 bit OS with 8 gigs of RAM.

Photoshop not opening file

Hi, hoping someone can help please. I've been using photoshop cs5 for a while now under Windows 8 64bit. I take photos using a Canon camera. In the last few days I have found that I now can no longer open files - Photoshop opens but the file does not. The only change I can see is that I have opened some pictures taken on a Nikon Camera recently. Has anyone got any suggestions please - I have updated the graphics driver, tried to install some latest ps5 updates but these don't work, Tried deleting settings file and tried uninstalling / reinstalling CS4.

You did not mention which file format is affected.
Please read these and proceed accordingly:

Just Upgraded to 10.4.1, Photoshop not Opening Files

Help!
I am on a MacBookPro and I just updated my MacOS X software to 10.4.1 and now Photoshop CS2 won't open any files. I get the beachball and the fan starts running on the machine. I files are large to small, jpegs to tiff to psds.
My CS2 ImageReady can open the files, but when I switch to Photoshop it just hangs.
I tried the commandappleshift to get rid of my preferences, but that didn't help. Does anyone have any tips?

Ok for some reason it decided to start working again. I reinstalled the updates from Adobe..then opened a new file, saved it out, opened it again. And it opened so then I tried opening a jpeg and it opened.
It seems to be working find now..good LORD, ***.

I can not open files, create new ones. When it does work it can not perform functions like transform etc.

Sorry! Ignore it.
There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

Photoshop does not open file sent from LR

InfoSpoke fails with message "Could not open file on application server"

BW Experts,
I created an InfoSpoke that is configured to extract to a flat file. The name of the file is specified using a logical filename. During extraction, the infospoke reports the error message "Could not open file on application server" adnd marks the extraction process as red(failed). I have tried to run the InfoSpoke in background mode and in dialog mode and the same error appears. After i run in dialog mode, i checked SU53 for authorization errors and did not find any. I also tried changing the Logical filename setup in transaction FILE to a more "friendly" directory in which i'm sure i have authorizations (e.g. my UNIX home directory) and im still getting errors.
Can you please share your thoughts on this? Any help will greatly appreciated. I also promise to award points.

Hi Nagesh,
Thanks for helping out.
If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to a file using "File Name" option and also check the "Application server" checkbox, the extract works correctly (extraction to the defualt SAP path and filename=infospoke name). If i configure the InfoSpoke to download to the local workstation, the InfoSpoke also works correctly. It's only when i configure it to download to the application server and use the "Logical filename" option, that i encounter a failed extract.
Here are the messages is the Open Hub Monitor:
(red icon) Request No.147515
0 Data Records
Runtime 1 sec.
(red icon)Run No. 1

If i clink on the error message, no messages nor clues are displayed. Note, this is a new InfoSpoke that is currently in the dev system.
Please help.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

Error message Could not open file....on application server

Hi Experts,
we are using 3.1 production server which has four application servers, after harware upgrdation we are facing connectivity problem with datastage.
daily the infospkoes and abap programs are faling with the message "Could not open file........on application server".
when we trigger manually on one server then it gets success, means we are facing problem with other 3 appliction servers. we do not know how to go about this issue.

Hi,
This is error RSBO214 and can be due to upper/lower case letters within your destination path.
Maybe you have changed the path in transaction SE16?
In case you change the destination manually, you have to make sure that that the directory exists and that the authorizations are set up correctly for the extraction user.
Rgds,
Colum

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

Adobe reader X will not open files on the web

Adobe reader X will not open files on the web. It works fine on off-line files.

Hello Ray,
Please try following steps:
1. Run the installed Adobe Reader X.
2. Click on Edit in the menu bar.
3. Then click on Preferences in the drop down menu list.
4. Click on the Internet category on the left pane.
5. Now, make sure that Display PDF in Browser option is checked.
If above steps doesn't work then let me know which Browser you are using, may be we have to do some settings there.
