Photoshop won't load / Lightroom only as trial

I just purchased the $9.99 /mo plan for Photoshop and Lightroom & installed both.  Photoshop goes to the splash screen, then loads for a split second and quits.  Lightroom wants to load as a trial version. No prompts or error codes.  Any suggestions?  I've tried trashing the preferences already.  I'm running windows 8.1 Thanks

Hiya Jeff
Thanks for the quick reply. For the time being I'm trying to get Photoshop going, once I get that working I figured I'd try Lightroom.  So, here is the install log for my most recent attempt for Photoshop (only the errors):

So far I've reinstalled the software probably about a dozen times and I've deleted the folder "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014" AND the folder "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\" I don't understand why its giving that error I had no problem deleting it? 
I've uninstalled the software and reinstalled using the "hidden" administrator account on Windows 8 but to no avail. 
If you have any suggestions please let know. 
Thanks

  • Lightroom 5 won't load after 30 day trial of Lightroom3 error.

    I tried the 30 day trial of Lightroom 3 that I got with the Photoshop Elements 10 when I got my new computer.  The Lightroom loaded one picture and said I had an error and would try to find a solution.  I bought Lightroom5  and tried to install it and it keeps going back to the error of Lightroom 3 trial.  I tried to delete all programs associated with Lightroom and reinstall, but nothing happens.

    it just reads "Lightroom-Opening Catalog:New Years Day 2014 031.JPG.Ircat   assertion failed!
    New Years day 2014 is a folder and 031 is the picture in the folder that I tried to enhance in the 30 day free trial of Lightroom 3.  I bought Lightroom 5 from B &H and it appears to be hung up on the Lightroom 3 trial.

  • Tiff saved in photoshop won't load in indesign

    I'm having trouble loading a Photoshop TIFF file into inDesign. Every time I try, inDesign sees only half the photo (see below for example). This behavior is consistent with any photo I try. View the TIFF in a file viewer, however, and the whole picture is present.
    I'm using Photoshop and inDesign CS3, Windows 7/64, plenty of memory and storage.
    Others trying to use TIFFs I generate see the same thing, regardless of which version of Photoshop or inDesign they use.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Bob, is that a specific omission in ID CS3? As the OP said, it works fine in CS4, for example.
    That said, Photoshop *does* issue a warning:

  • Internet Problem - One site will load, another won't. Then mintues later, the site that previously would load won't and the one that wouldn't will. I'm also pulling up a lot of pages in all text. Pics won't load or only one will load and the rest won't...

    Several weeks ago, I began to have some very strange internet connection issues. All the lights on my modem stay on and my computer shows full wi-fi signal, but I suddenly I won't be able to load any pages. Other times, I'll be able to load pages from one site, but not another. It's not the same sites all the time though.... sometimes I'll be able to load pages from one site and not another, and then 5 minutes later it'll switch and I'll be able to load pages from the site I previously couldn't and I won't be able to load pages from the site I previously could. A lot of pages are coming up just text with no pics... and then 5 mintues later that site will load normally and another site will come up just text. It does the same thing whether I'm connecting wirelessly or via an ethernet cable. It also doesn't matter which browser I use (I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox). Although, once in a while when using chrome, I get a DNS error page instead of the usual 'cannot find server'. I contacted my service provider and I'm not losing speed or dropping packets. According to them, the problem I'm having is very strange since diagnostic tests show no problems at all. Perhaps someone has run into this before and has a suggestion?

    Then if you have tried all the browsers try connecting the system to yoour router with an Ethernet cable and turn WiFi off. If you have the same problem then it more then likely after your computer, Router or modem or connection from your ISP.
    If you get good browsing with the Ethernet cable then it is either the WiFi card in your Mac or the WiFi system in your router.

  • Windows 8 Installation Disc Won't Load UEFI-only (T420s). Also does T420S support Secure Boot?

    Question 1:
    I am unable to load the Windows 8 Installation DVD in UEFI (only) mode on my T420s. As a result, I can only run the installer in Legacy mode (or both UEFI/Legacy which effectively means the same thing). This in turn means Windows 8 is installed in Legacy BIOS mode.  Any idea how to install it in UEFI mode?
    I am using a DVD burned using the Windows utility from the Windows 8 64-bit ISO and have followed the instructions in HT073269, however I am unable to get to step 1 of the Windows 8 install after updating the BIOS, resetting to defaults, and switching to UEFI-only. On boot, after switching to UEFI-only, I am presented with a bootloader and prompted to select which drive to boot (DVDRAM or SSD). Selecting either makes the screen go blank for a moment and then returns back to the same screen with no result.
    Since then I have searched these forums extensively and Googled Technet, Notebook Review, and other sites to no avail. I've tried several several ideas, including using diskpart > clean to get the SSD in raw status (per HT051844). That did not make a difference. I also tried converting a Legacy-BIOS install of Windows 8 to UEFI using CharlyAR's instructions on TechNet (linked from another thread here). That seemed to get me to a Windows Boot Loader but still errored out and Windows Repair was unable to fix it.
    Any suggestions?
    Also, question 2:  Does anyone know if the T420S support secure boot? If not, any idea if it's slated for a future firmware update?

    Secure Boot is a certificate-based approach to preventing rootkits, not the same thing as UEFI. Although Secure Boot requires UEFI, having UEFI does not mean having the additional Secure Boot feature. If Secure Boot is available, typically there will be an option to enable it in the firmware configuration. Since the latest firmware for the T420S (ver. 1.35) does not have such an option, I suspect ThorsHammer is correct that Secure Boot is not (yet) supported on the T420S. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Lenovo will tell us that a firmware update is on its way though.
    My understanding is that it will never support secure boot.  The secure boot support starts at Ivy Bridge and the T430s.

  • Photoshop won't load

    I am running a new install of windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit on a quad core 2,4 GHz processor with 4 GB of memory. I have a Ge Force 88oo GTS graphics card with 320 MB of GDDR3 and a further 1800MB of shared graphics memory.
    I have updated windows &, I have installed the most up to date graphics driver available direct from NVIDIA.
    I have tried installing from creative cloud and also removed, rebooted, downloaded the standalone and re installed Photoshop package.
    I tried to install Microsoft's Runtime file packages only to find I also have the most up to date version of both
    The same persists each time.
    I can't believe that Adobe are incapable of writing a program that works, but to be honest I have spent 3 days trying to get this to work.
    By the way before anyone tries to blame my hardware, OS or anything else, I have researched this I have run CC cleaner, rebooted, tried SLC to repair damaged files and all this for the pleasure of actually paying for the software.
    I had no idea that Adobe was an Irish company but they must be, as only an Irish company would make it so difficult for the customer to give them money and then blame the customer for the problem.
    This is absolutely ridiculous

    Hi Steve,
    This error is related to Visual Studio C++ Redistributable.
    Do you have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed? If Not do that first.
    Even after that you have two options:
    Remove & Reinstall by downloading a new copy of Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012Update 4Check System requirements section carefully it requires Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed to work.
    Reinstall Visual Studio 2012 with Update 4

  • Changed Internal HD - Now Photoshop won't load: "Could not initialize.."

    Hi All,
    I apologise for posting here.. I've been trawling the Adobe forums and none of the suggestions for this seem to work.
    I recently used Carbon Copy Cloner to take a copy of my 80gig HD and transfer it to my new 320gig HD (internal) that I have upgraded within my MacBook.
    So far everything, other than Photoshop, is working fine. Unfortunately, when I try to run Photoshop (CS2), I get the following error:
    "Could not initialize Photoshop because the disk is not available".
    It seems that my transfer of data has somehow buggered up the scratch disk. Interestingly, imageready and illustrator both load and run okay but not photoshop.
    I have followed the advice in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6804821
    That basically stated:
    1) Repair Permissions on your startup drive.
    2) Delete Photoshop's preferences. In the Preferences folder of your user account, delete the entire folder, "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings".
    3) Download and apply the 10.4.11 Combo updater. Repair permissions both before applying the update and after. Delete Photoshop's preferences before trying to launch it.
    With the exception that I downloaded and applied the 10.5.5 combo updater....
    However, while this solved the problem for the previous person, this has not rectified the issue for me.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    I uninstalled the CS2 suite to reinstall from scratch. Bad move. Looks like CS2 does not install in Leopard and is no longer supported by Adobe.
    Epic Sigh. Keeping up with the releases of Adobe products is a never-ending race. (Insert the word expensive somewhere in that sentence).

  • MSI GT60 with Vertex 4 SSD - Freezing, won't load Windows only in SATA III port

    Hello,
    New to the world of SSD's and trying to get my Vertex 4 to be able to operate at 6 Gb/s. I know that in my MSI GT60 that it has to be in port 1 because that is where the SATA III controller is, port 4 is just a SATA II. I was able to update the Vertex 4 to firmware version 1.5 and when it is plugged into port 4, no issues at all. It will run and take anything i throw it while running at 3 Gb/s in SATA II mode. My port 1 currently houses a 500gb Western Digital Scorpio drive.
    As soon as i throw the Vertex 4 in port 1, issues arise. Sometimes i get a disk read error right after bios, sometimes it just freezes. On the latest Intel RST for my board, 11.2.0.1006 it can actually boot on occasion but 90% of the time freezes but still only reads 3 Gb/s when it does boot. It does the same thing in version 11.1.0.1006 and any older RST it just freezes or says disk read error and never boots.
    I have my bios set to AHCI mode and i have tried the Vertex 4 by itself and also with the WD 500gb in the other port. When i switch back to Vertex 4 in port 4 and WD in port 1, no issues at all. Just trying to see if this is a known issue or anything else i can look at.  I made sure to break the RAID 0 and it was a clean install of windows 7 to the drive. 
    Running on bios E16F3IMS.10M.  The Vertex 4 is at its latest firmware as well.  I do have one PCI device i can't identify in Windows and thinking it might be the issue but can't narrow it down.  I have the Intel RST installed.
    I also posted this on the OCZ forum and did their tips as well.
    Thanks!

They just have a notice that the page could not be loaded. usually it says it can't connect to the internet and to check internet connectivity. when I do it runs a scan that comes back saying there were no connectivity issues.

  • Program won't load due to external drive failure

    I thought I was doing a smart thing when my laptop began getting a little too full by setting up the installation of Photoshop to use a Seagate hard drive as my preferences and scratch disk, with my computer's drive as the second choice. Now the Seagate has failed and Photoshop won't load! I get error messages saying the preferences file is missing and the loading terminates.
    How can I fix this? I have a new drive, 1.5 terabytes, which I would still like to use for that. It's drive F, the old one was drive E. So I cannot rename the F to E, unless there's something I don't yet understand.
    I just hope I won't have to completely reinstall the program. Any advice?

    What possessed me to also set the preferences file on the external drive? I didn't realize I did.
    Thanks for your help. I really appreciate fast and knowledgeable help.
    But I stumbled on a solution. Since posting in this forum, I tried loading the program again. I don't know why but I just happened to think of holding down the Ctrl key while it loaded.
    Sure enough, it worked!
    I immediately changed the settings and have restarted the program several times without any problem.
    All I can figure is that I must have read somewhere something about overriding settings by using the Ctrl key. I really didn't know this when I wrote my first post but anyway, it works.
    Thanks again for your help!
