Photoshop Stops Responding

Here's a weird one. I go to make a mask using a simple rectangular selection, and when I click the Mask icon Photoshop stops responding. I made some screen shots to show what I mean.
I've tried doing this several times and keep getting the same results. I even upped the memory usage to 81% (2636 MB) and it still shuts down when I go to make the mask. I'm running Photoshop CS3 on Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) with 4Gigs of RAM. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply. My video drivers are current and my fonts are fine. However, you did remind me of one thing - I just recently put a couple FAP plugins in the PS plugins folder. I have removed those two plugins and now everything seems to be working fine. I wonder when FAP will fix that issue? They're suppose to be coming out with a new version of FAP for Windows, but they seem to be dragging their feet on that one.
Thanks!

Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

First, go install the MacOS 10.10 updates - you should be on 10.10.2.
I haven't heard of Photoshop not responding during opens and saves. Does it stop responding while the open/save dialogs are visible, or while Photoshop is actually reading or writing files?
10.10.1 did fix a crash in the open/save dialogs, but 10.10.2 still has some odd issues (mostly program errors coming from the OS code) in the open/save dialogs.

Photoshop stops responding when creating a 11x8.5 collage

I've been using Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 for a couple of months to create 11x8.5 photo collage's as part of my digital scrapbook. Yesterday, when I tried to create a new collage the program stopped responding and forced me to close it. It will only do this with an 11x8.5, it's not a problem for any other size, unfortunetly the rest of my pages are 11x8.5 so I really need to be able to use this size! What could possibly be causing this?

I have this same problem and the suggestion didn't help me. Does anyone know of a solution?
I've tried it in both the Organizer and Editor interfaces and tried selecting and de-selecting the box indicating "Autofill with Selected Images".
8.50 x 11.00 works fine, but 11.00 x 8.50 - crashes every time.
"Adobe Photoshop Elemets 11 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Would love to find a solution.

Photoshop PSCC 2014 stops responding with NIK Collection Plugins and when loading from Lightroom 5

I have lost the ability to be productive since purchasing the photographers CC plan and installing Photoshop CC 2014.
1. Send photo from Lightroom 5.7 to PSCC 2014 then edit using photoshop and NIK collection plugin. Photo begins to loads into PSCC2014 then hang-up and PSCC stops responding causing me to force quit PSCC or photo loads into NIK Collection Plugin without any issues, editing is performed, but when I click "OK" the program hangs up, ( photoshop stops responding), resulting in a Force Quit and loss of all work.
2. Send image from Lightroom 5.7 to Photoshop CC 2014 using "Edit In". PSCC2014 hangs up while loading image and has to be forced to quit or it loads photo, work is preformed and after clicking "SAVE" to return to LR 5.7 photoshop hangs up and stops responding, causing loss of all edited work.
I have uninstalled PSCC 2014 along with presets and then reinstalled. No change in outcomes! I have updated and reinstalled the NIK Collection Plugin with no change in outcome. I am unable to get any work done for the last 4 days. I am considering canceling my CC account and trying to return to working with LR 5.7 and Photoshop CS6 as I had before purchasing CC photographers plan providing I can with success return to that configuration.
Can anyone help? I sure hope so.
Thanks… gwj

Benjamin,
Sorry it took so long to respond to your suggestion. Long work schedules doing video production have kept me away from my home base.
I did as you suggested in you're reply and photoshop cc worked without issue and returned the photo work back to LR normally. So, I assume by this, that the issue is
the NIK plug-in? Do you now what I can do to get the plug-in working correctly? Perhaps contacting Google/NIK for a solution?
Any additional suggestions and knowledge you can pass along related to the issue at hand is greatly appreciated.

Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped responding

This is a problem I've been encountering for quite some time now, and it began as soon as I installed the software. A short while after opening and using Photoshop, the program will "stop responding" and be forced to close.
I use photoshop for drawing. The brush I use is a simple round brush at an angle of 45 degrees with 10% roundness. The opacity, flow, and size jitter are all set to pen pressure. I use a wacom intuos 4 tablet and the drivers are up to date. I don't know if any of this information will be relevant or helpful but I have included it in case there is some sort of known issue with any of these settings.
I have encountered this problem on both my laptop and desktop computers.
Desktop Specs:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9400 @ 2.66 GHz
Memory: 8 GB
HD: ~600 GB
OS: 64-bit Vista Home Premium
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4600 series
Laptop Specs:
Processor: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB
HD: ~600 GB
OS: OS X 10.6.7
Video Chips: AMD Radeon HD 6750M
Intel HD Graphics 3000
So far to fix this problem I have tried resetting my preferences, reinstalling photoshop, turning off OpenGL drawing, formatting my hard drive and reinstalling from the ground up, trying the appropraite OS versions on the two computers listed above, using previous versions of photoshop (CS4, CS3), updating photoshop to the most recent version, and using a different tablet.
Here is the event viewer log:
Faulting application Photoshop.exe, version 12.0.4.0, time stamp 0x4d9d8f8e, faulting module Photoshop.exe, version 12.0.4.0, time stamp 0x4d9d8f8e, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000000001b3e625, process id 0x654, application start time 0x01cc4fef8766c74f.
Please. Please help.

Thank you for the response Noel.
I updated my Catalyst display driver to 11.7, but the problem persists.
Here is the log from this crash, if its of any use:

What else can I try?

I have Adobe Photoshop Album 1.0 & suddenly cannot send photos thru e-mail. It looks like it's working ok; but when I hit Send nothing happens and the program stops responding. Any suggestions?

I have starter 3.0 and cannot share pictures via outlook express. Evidently that version is discontinued and my outlook express does not support the MAPI that is required. I think the only solution is to upgrade to photoshop
elements or to send photos as attachment to your e-mail. I have the same problem using Zoom Browser EX sending photos via internet. I spent a whole day trying to resove this issue and have exhausted all options. Just like "Instant share" in HP image Zone that was replace by photoshop album starter 3.0 and now it is out dated.

After I upgraded my Mac with Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 12 stops responding when you use editing tools like eraser, clone stamp.

This should help. Photoshop Elements doesn't respond when you use editing tools in Mac OS X 10.10

If Photoshop crashes the should be a System crash report generated by your OS. For example Windows

Adobe CS 5.5 Photoshop error I get the message "display driver stopped responding".

Photoshop CS3 stopped responding

for no explicable reason PS3 has stopped responding to a variety of commands and particularly to 'print'. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling
both photoshop and the Epson printer software - all to no avail. Could the problem lie with the Operating system which is Windows Vista Home Premium and if so how should I best proceed ?
Malcatglos

What is the point of this? I need the Epson printer to print my photographic work. For the record I have previously deleted both installed printers and then reinstalled them. I would also mention that if I connect my laptop to the Epson printer the Photohop CS3 installed thereon has no problem responding to the print command. The problem only exists on my main desktop computer. The obvious conclusion is that the software has become corrupted but since I have uninstalled both Photoshop and the Epson software and then reinstalled them from their respective CDs. I am at a loss to understand where the problem lies. Could it be with the operating system ie Vista? If this has become corrupted in some way how do resolve it?

Program stops responding on adding a text

I'm doing a lesson from the official tutorial.
When I attempt to add a new text layer the program stops responding. Windows Task Manager says that Photoshop is working, but nothing happen. Though it seems like the system is working on something.
Can I fix this myself?
Attached file

All settings are default.
PC specs:
QuadCore Intel Core i7-930
6144 MB (DDR3-1333)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 (1280 MB)
Windows 7 SP1 x64
Photoshop CC 2014.2.0 x64
By the way, looks like the problem has gone.

Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) Stops Responding

I am currently using Photoshop CS5 with Camera Raw 6, installed on a Window 7 x64 machine with 8 GB of RAM.
I have no problem opening my raw files, but ACR repeatedly stops responding after a few minutes as I am selecting and making adjustments to raw images. Sometimes this will happen very quickly, but is usually after ten minutes or more of editing. Selecting an image whilst the yellow warning triangle is still showing in the main image seems to be a major factor, but I don't want to spend all day waiting!
Once ACR has stopped responding, the only option is to close Photoshop via Task Manager, but I then loose everything (including deletions) that I have been working on for the past x minutes. It doesn't seem to matter whether the raw files are located on a local or network drive, but the problem seems to be more frequent across the network.
The only solution seems to be to click 'Done' every five minutes, and to re-load the images, but this is a chore when I have 100 or more images to sort through. I have created a 10 GB scratch file for Photoshop, so it should have plenty of space.
Is this a known issue, and has it been resolved in CS5.5? I did not have this problem in CS, CS2, CS3, or CS4.
I have tried to download the CS5.5 update, but Photoshop reports that everything is up to date.
Any advice on this problem would be very welcome.

Does CS 5.5 do anything that CS 5.0 doesn't do
Nothing, apart from supporting some enhanced functionality added to other CS products that allows developers to make better use of touch interfaces and so on (or something along those lines). I checked this with Adobe when it came out, and they informed me that I would gain zero from moving from CS5 to CS5.5: they are essentially exactly the same thing, just a bit of re-branding to keep up with the other Suite products. I think Adobe confused a lot of users with this move.
I see there is a promotion running at the moment whereby CS 5.5 purchasers can upgrade to CS 6.0 free of charge when it becomes available.
That promotion's for new users who might drop some cash on PS during the grace period where we're 'inbetween' versions (e.g. you'd be annoyed if you spent £650 on Photoshop CS5.5 and then two weeks later they released CS6 and you had to spend a further £190 to upgrade).
If you want to upgrade from CS5 to CS6, then you get no benefit from upgrading to CS5.5. first: it would cost you exactly the same, and would simply add an extra uncessary step to the process. Nor would it help you overcome the issue you've reported with ACR.
Hope this helps, and if I'm wrong on any points then I'm sure someone will correct me!
