You may be missing a driver for your motherboard/ core3i processor or your harddrive/ SATA. Check your Device Manager for devices marked as problematic/ not working and install the necessary drivers. and don't get me wrong, but it really would be smart to install Win 7/ Win 8. You are crippling yourself in every way imaginable by hanging on to XP. You won't see any 3D features even if PS installs for instance...

All of a sudden Photoshop won't start [on a Macbook Air]

Dear all,
I'm on a MacBook Air with OS X 10.10.2, and I use Photoshop about once a month, but now I really need it, and it won't start:
- Immediately after I click on the Photoshop icon I get "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 cannot be opened because of a problem." And when I click on the "Report..." button I get a very technical message (see below).
- I've used Photoshop on this machine for about a year with no problem, but recently I had a problem and needed to restore from my TimeMachine backup.
- I don't know if the problem occurred immediately after the restore or not.
- I've read innumerable threads on various forums, but nothing describes my problem exactly. I suspect a problem with my paths and permissions (since I read a report that restoring from a TimeMachine causes such problems occasionally), but I don't know which path is corrupted/missing/unreadable.
- I've tried creating a new admin account and starting Photoshop from there. It didn't work.
- I don't mind reinstalling, but I don't have an installer image. I started with Photoshop 6, then updated to CS2, CS4 and eventually CS5. I do have all the serial numbers but not all update-images.
I would appreciate any hints on how to further diagnose and some the problem.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Restore preference files to default
In this video, learn the two methods of resetting your preference files back to default: Manual preference file removal and Keyboard Shortcut method (starts at 5:05)
by Julieanne Kost
To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard short cut:
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color setings will also be reset to default.

Photoshop won't start at all

Illustrator opens fine, but Photoshop won't. HELP!!!!!!!

Thank you, Barbara. All fonts seemed fine, no empty or duplicates. When I went back to Elements and tried again, it did not crash! After months of not being able to use type tool,,, not sure why it worked, but it did. Thanks again! I appreciate the time you took to answer my question.

CS5 - Photoshop won't start: preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)

Environment:
Win7 Ultimate - 4 gig ram - CS5 Design Premium
Seemingly out of the blue - Photoshop stopped loading and I'm getting two error messages :
first: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered
second: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
I've deleted the two Preferences Files - but they don't seem to repopulate on startup - (or if they do they are deleted per the error message)
I tried copying a Preferences file from another working machine but that failed as well.
In addition: Dreamweaver is kicking out the following error messages - but opens and seems to work normally.
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file C:\Program Files (x86) Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Spry\Designtime\EditingUtils.js (error 2).
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file "C:\Program Files (x86) \Adobe\Adobe dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscripts.js" (error 2).
I'm in the middle of a big project and need to get back up quickly - any help would be much appreciated.
Thx.

Run photoshop as administrator holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, that should trigger a preferences reset prompt.
If that won't work I would do a backup and delete the entire Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings folder, not just the two files you mentioned.
As for your Dreamweaver issue, try deleting WinFileCache-********.dat (or FileCache.dat) from your Dreamweaver Config folder.
Otherwise try deleting your preferences
Exit Dreamweaver.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Choose Start, type regedit in the Start Search, and then press Enter.
In the left pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
Remove the Dreamweaver preferences registry entries.

Photoshop won't start . . . Help!!!

I just bought a 24" iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 4 GB of RAM. I used the migration assistant to transfer all of my programs from my old (very old) 800 MHz iMac. Everything works fine except for Photoshop 7.0 and Image Ready. I try to start Photoshop and the logo screen comes up and it doesn't get any further than "Reading preferences..." and I get "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit."
I have tried deleting the preferences, didn't help. I tried repairing permissions, didn't help. I tried reinstalling from the disk, didn't help. I tried reinstalling in Safe Mode, didn't help. I am partially cross-eyed from scouring the web trying to find ANYTHING that remotely resembles my problem, to no avail. Can anyone help me out?? PLEASE!!!

I've made an attempt to contact my guy and am waiting to hear back. He's a decent guy who I have dealt with pretty extensively through my last employer. Not to mention he's pretty close distance wise.
By midday tomorrow I'll contact your guy either way. I appreciate your going out of your way for me and making that call. I still have to be frugal and do a bit of shopping around before I pull the trigger. I hope you can understand.

Photoshop won't start: Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended
"Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file."
I've tried finding and checking and fixing permissions but no success.
This happened from one day to the next. I think it has to do with the sn attached to the disk rather then the motherboard. I have the suite co-installed with Symphony 5.05. I've tried reinstalling.
What's to b done? The rest of the Creative Suite 6 (AE, AI etc.) works fine.
Anyone...?
Loui

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

After the 2014 update photoshop won't talk to Bridge or Lightroom. What went wrong with the update?

When I try to export images from Lightroom or Bridge to Photoshop now I get a message that Photoshop won't start up when it is already open and running.

Update your graphics driver and/or turn off GPU acceleration in the Performance prefs.

Cs3 won't start and hand on "reading preferences"

Hello
All of a sudden my photoshop won't start and hang on the splash screen " the last message is "reading preferences"
I Run WINXP service pack2.
Photoshop version is 10.0.1
I rebooted did everything (without re-installing)
Is there a way to get out of this ?
Bruno

You could try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

PS CS5 under Lion--won't start?

Just installed PSCS5 Ver 12.0 x64 under Mac OS X Ver 10.7.2.
Photoshop won't start, but hangs at "Reading brushes..."
Have tried opening it from Bridge and opening directly from the Dock (without Bridge).
Any suggestions or pointers?

Have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, font validation, etc.)?

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 won't start on my computer

The ScriptingSupport.8li that comes with Photoshop CS5.1 should have the module version 12.1.0.0 as well.
It sounds as if you have done something where you have mixed modules from an older version of Photoshop (CS3) into those that Photoshop CS5 is enumerating during startup.
Did you, by chance, copy the entire contents of a folder (e.g. plug-ins or scripts) and get extra files you didn't intend?
Have you set an Extra plug-ins folder up to point to the plug-ins for an earlier version of Photoshop?
Mixing up versions of Photoshop is a no-no.
You may want to start by clearing your Photoshop preferences... Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediate after cold-starting Photoshop. If you're quick enough, and you have to be VERY quick to get the keys down, it will prompt you to confirm deletion of the preferences it already has set up, which will then cause it to use defaults.

I have a used iMac, HD wiped, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." previous owner's name still there preventing initialing?

I have a used iMac, HD wiped clean, OS 10.6.8 freshly installed w/Rosetta, Photoshop Elements was installed but won't start saying "could not complete because of missing or invalid personalization info." is previous owner's name somehow still there preventing initialing? How do I remove and install my own? I don't understand as HD was completely wiped with no OS when I got it.

I think Adobe allows their software to be installed on 2 computers only. However, if say you buy another computer and wish to install PSE on the new computer ( effectively a 3rd computer as far as Adobe is concerned ) PSE needs to be properly uninstalled ie not simply by uninstalling using the operating system's uninstall process. It needs to be uninstalled using the Adobe uninstall process that is contained within the software.
You should then be given a prompt as to whether you will be reinstalling on the same computer or if you wish to remove altogether. If the latter, then all traces are removed and the software can be (re) installed on the new computer.
If, unknown to yourself, the software had been installed on 2 computers and although you or the previous may have wiped the hard drive clean, as far as Adobe is concerned the software is still ' registered / assigned ' to 2 computers.
If the previous owner bought a new computer and installed their PSE on it, wiped the hard drive clean without properly uninstalling/removing PSE thentherein probably lies the prblem.
As Allan Jones said, it 's probably worth your while to purchase your own copy.
Hope this helps.
