PS4 wont launch in Windows 7

First off I have legal copies of both Photoshop CS4 and Windows 7.  PS4 Works perfect in XP.  I upgraded my computer and it came with Windows 7 Home.  When i first tried to instal CS4, it came back with error "installer may not have loaded correctly, do you want to load installer compatible with this windows operating system".  I chose yes.  The software loaded up all the way through.
Clicked to open photoshop.  Accept terms dialog box popped up, cciked accept, then nothing.
Tried it with both 64 and 32 bit icons.  Nothing.  Software never came up.
I uninstalled photoshop, reinstalled again, went through the entire install with no issues.
Clicked to run Photoshop, Accept terms dialog box came up, clicked accept, Nothing.
Any ideas?  has anyone seen this issue and resolved it before?  All feedback greatly appreciated.  Thanks

Hi,
You have to install PS CS4 as Admin. Put the DVD disk in the tray and let it start but you don't want to install. You want to explore the disk. Look for the PS folder and the .exe file. Right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin. This will give you the proper security permissions in Windows 7.
Also turn off any anti-virus running. Also turn off Windows defender if running.
After install reboot the computer.
After in stall you need to run the software as Admin too. Right click on the 64 bit PS icon, choose properties, Compatibility tab, and then check Run this program as an administrator. Click apply then ok to close. Do the same for 32 bit.
Don't forget to update the software. Also Video card drivers too from the manufacturers web site.

  • Speedgrade wont launch in Windows 8.1. Crashes immediately.

    Hi!
    Second post today with serious issues with CC so I hope someone can help me
    I basically cannot start Speedgrade. I recently formatted my PC and upgraded a few bits here and there and before the re-installation everything was fine.
    My current setup:
    Windows 8.1
    Latest Adobe CC and Speedgrade as of 15-02-2014
    i7 2600K
    Nvidia GTX560 Ti
    Nvidia GTX 570
    16GB ram
    OS and Adobe CC runing on Kingson Hyperx SSD
    Let me know if I should provide any more info.

    Looks like I found the answer to my own question after digging a bit further: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1357443?tstart=0
    Looks like Speedgrade doesn't like a dual card setup! It would be great not only to get this fixed but for it to be benificial to th eoperation of Speedgrade. Resolve uses one card for the UI and the second for dedicated processing for grading and the performance improvements are amazing (yeah, yeah, "fill in the form", "feature request", yada yada - I know!). Just sayin' - we're paying a monthly fee to use this thing so please, please, please fix it soon! Cheers.

  • Itunes wont launch on windows xp pr

    i have itunes downloaded on m computer but when i click on the desktop icon the computers appears to begin opening it, but then nothing happens. This has been an issue ever since i got my nano in January. I don't know what to do any help would be appreciated.

    What error message?

    Since the last update my i tunes wont launch it just give error message Error 7 (Windows error 127) how do i fix it please?

    Like many others I have been reading about online I am having the same error.  I tried the fix listed above and simply wasted 30 minutes of my time. I scheduled a time for Apple to call and help me through this and their solution was for me to call Microsoft for some reason?!!  iTunes made me upgrade then stopped working - I really don't see how this is a Microsoft problem??
    Like Darren if a solution is not found quickly I will also have to sell my phone as the only way to get videos and music on my phone is through the software that you made me upgrade, broke and won't help me fix.

  • Windows wont launch during XP SP2 install

    I'm having issues installing XP SP2 (OEM) on my Macbook Pro system w/ Boot Camp 2.0, Leopard 10.5.2. Windows wont launch after 100% of files are copied from the disc during the install process.
    Boot Camp partitions HD correctly and asks for the Windows Install Disc. System restarts from the CD and begins installation - I access the blue screen where I select XP partition - 'C: Partition3 (Bootcamp) (FAT32)'. I hit Enter and installation begins. B.C. setup manual shows 2nd blue screen where you select the file system you want (FAT file or NTFS file) - I have not seen this screen yet. Does this appear after installation? Installation begins and progress bar installs through 100% in 20-30 minutes.
    At 100%, computer immediately restarts to black screen and "Press any Key to continue" appears. If I press key, original installation screen appears and it takes me through the exact same process I just did. If I don't hit a key, error occurs and the screen freezes at "Press any Key". If I restart, original install screen appears and Windows re-starts installation. I'm stuck in a loop. I erased the partition with B.C., re-partitioned, but still the same result.
    Any advice? I need this for school ASAP.
    Thanks,
    j

    I watched a Youtube Video about installing so I see where the problem is. I don't see the initial End-User License agreement screen, and after I select 'C: Partition3 (Bootcamp) (FAT32)', the "Select File System" screen that is supposed to immediately show up does not appear. What gives? I know OEM should work with Boot Camp.

  • Itunes wont launch, no error message, no blue screens, just wont open

    itunes wont launch, i get no error message, no blue screen, it just wont open. I've tried to delete and reinstall, but once i close itunes i still have same issue. it wont open again.

    I have same problem  on my XP lap top and Windows 7 PC.    Apple have been investigating this problem for me for a week now without success so far.  Understand it 's ongoing with other customers as well.
      It is caused by an bit of program called APSDaemon supplied by Apple in latest i-Tunes.     Your quick fix to enable you to open i-Tunes again is as follows:-     open Task Manager (right click bottom toolbar), click on Task Manager, select Processes.   Find APSDaemon, highlight and press END PROCESS.      I-tunes will now re-open ok.   You have to repeat this every time you want i-Tunes re-opened until you switchoff or restart.
    A pain I know, but lets you keep going until Apple repair and release an update for i-Tunes

  • Premiere Elements 11 wont launch on my MacBookPro

    I installed Premiere Elements 11 today and it wont launch.
    The launch window doesn't get past:
    Loading SmartSoundAdobePlugin.bundle
    before I get the Adobe Premiere Elements 11 quit unexpectedly; report.
    I click re-open and the problem persists.
    My System Profile:

    OS X version 10.8.4
    I have re-installed twice and received no installation errors.
    Would appreciate any tips on what I am doing wrong.

    Good on you Steve,
      and thank you.
    In addition to following your two tips, I came across some additional information related to fonts. I validate the font library and reloaded it. I was then able to open Premiere Elements 11; SonicFire plug-in still didn't work.
    I found some information in the forum on a related SonicFire patch - installed the patch and everything is working fine. Turned on Retina display and life is good.
    You're worth your weight in gold - thanks again.
    Regards,
    Clem

  • Itunes wont launch, though it says its running

    So heres the deal, got a new comp a few weeks ago and installed itunes on it. I'm running windows XP pro (same as on old one) and when I try to run itunes it wont launch. It says its running in my task manager though. I've tried reinstalling it, but same thing happens. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    ok i think we might be onto something here with the first link, the dosent open after upgrade one. Everything went fine until step 7, the main SCinfo file exists, but the SC Info.sidb file that it shows being inside there is NOT there. Could this be a problem with the installation or something else?
    Though i suppose if it wasent there at all it shouldent hurt as your supposed to delete it anyways....but if thats the case (I certainly didnt delete it already)and the fix is to delete a file that isnt there anyways, i'm not sure that will help.

  • HT4589 Final Cut Pro wont launch anymore

    I updated to the latest version of Final Cut Pro and now it wont launch.  the window comes up and all I get is a spinning colourful wheel as a cursor and no way to operate the software.

    Could be a problem within one or more of your Events or Projects.
    Move your Events and Projects to new (temporary) folders so that FCP X doesn't find them on launch.
    If it launches OK, then quit the app and move the Projects back one by one (re-launching each time). The media will be offline (red clips) but if it launches OK, quit again, and move the Events back one by one - re-launching each time you move an Event.
    This should isolate the offending Event - you can then use a similar technique to track down the individual file.

  • ITunes wont launch after sucessful install

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there...I have no problem with Quicktime loading...I have changed my speaker settings and even did the run program fix with no prevail...I am so frustrated...I dont know if this help either but my computer wont run windows live messenger either....it wont run anything after 7.0..............argggg

    I just bought a new iPod Nano and installed iTunes 7.02 sucessfully and it wont launch at all...it simply sits there.
    some preliminary questions.
    are you getting an error message? if so, what does it say? include error message numbers if you're getting any.
    or are you getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to launch itunes?
    if you're getting no error messages whatsoever, do you just see the wee hourglass for a few seconds, and then nothing? if so, do you also have Norton Internet Security 2005 installed on that PC?
    also, reboot the PC. bring up your Task Manager, and click on the "Processes" tab. now try to launch itunes again.
    does an "itunes.exe" process appear in the Processes tab? if so, does it persist in there or does it disappear after a few seconds?
