I haven't yet. I'll dust off the old CD-Rom drive and plug it in to give this a try.

"Skype has stopped working" upon launch (7.3) Windows 7

I have been using Skype for more than a year with no issues but today when I launched Skype it came up with a message saying that "Skype has stopped working" and asked me to send information to Microsoft. Skype will not open at all - this message appears a few seconds after opening it. I have tried opening using admin and reinstalling but Skype still refuses to open.

The sound on my laptop has stopped working entirely, with and without headphones. What should I do?

The sound on my computer has stopped working. I have searched through countles google entries to try and figure out the problem but I can't find anything remotely useful. I never spilled any liquid or anything on my computer. I was just searching through youtube and when I clicked a video there was no sound. Then I checked iTunes and tried to play some music, still no sound. I played around with the preferences and volume control, still no sound. If you have any advice please help. Going to the apple store is so expensive and I don't have the time or money.

Did you try resetting PRAM and SMC?
Is there any red light visible in the headphone port?

Need advice - "Adobe photoshop CS5 has stopped working" upon startup

Hi All,
Hopefully someone can assist me with this as this seems to be a fairly common problem.
Basically, upon starting up PS it comes up with the error message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working..."
I'm just working off a surface pro 2 with 256gb ram, i5 processor (I think)
I’ve installed no new drivers of late and not undertaken any system changes that I can think of that would affect the program.
Funnily enough it’s the same problem across all the adobe suite e.g. illustrator and indesign both won’t start up (illustrator has the same message whereas indesign’s error message mentions that it requires a certain amount of free disk space).
Hopefully that is enough info. Please ask if there is anything else that you would need to know in order to ascertain the problem.
For reference here is the excerpt from the windows error log:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 12.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4bbc5b10

My scenario and history:
Windows Vista Ultimate and now Windows 7 Ultimate
NVidia Quadro Fx 4500 driving 4 monitors total SLi on or off - makes no difference. Drivers irrelevant.
2 x Xeon 5160 (so total 4 cores)
24Gb RAM
PS CS 4 or 5
4 monitors - - yep it is the 4 monitor thing.
Fails everytime as you describe.
Observation - If you Remote Desktop Connection onto the computer - and so in effect are using only ONE monitor - PS works fine.
A WORKAROUND for 4 or 5 - I don't consider this a fix because you lose some functionality but it gets you 99% there and is the same workaround for CS4 or 5
Go to<drive>:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64bit)\Plug-ins\Extensions\ (or CS4 - depending on version)
Locate File:
ScriptingSupport.8li
Disable this extension by renaming the file with a tilde in front of the file name. Thus:
~ScriptingSupport.8li
Start Photoshop - it works and is mainly functional.
The only real downside I have discovered is that disabling this scripting extension means you cannot use some of the built in scripts under FILE - SCRIPTS - the biggest PIA for me being the Contact Sheet builder no longer works. But as I now use Lightroom to create contact sheets - this is not a big loss. Other scripting functionality - I am sure is affected - but not to a point I find PS unusable.
ADOBE - if you read this - it has been that extesion now for the last two editions of PS.

"firefox has stopped working" upon startup

Few seconds upon start-up, Firefox greys out and the message "firefox has stopped working" appears leaving me with only the option of closing it. I've tried resetting firefox to default state and safe mode with add-on disabled etc but so far the only reliable method I've found is to reinstall it every time, however this only guarantees one use as once I've closed the browser the same problem re-occurs. The only major action I've performed may have been accidentally removing youtube(which contributed to a major portion of my browsing history) from the browsing history after which caused Firefox to lag/freeze and crash and hence my problem began. I tried the profile manager but that crashes on start up as well.
I'm on Windows 7 & Firefox 14.0.1

Have you installed any new input device? Maybe a Wacom tablet or something?
And are you running PS CS4 as 32 or 64 bit?

Hi,catalyst control centre has stopped working after upgrading to windows 8 .

Hi,
i have a hp envy-6 notebook pc(Product number: B4P24PA#ACJ,Serial number: [Personal Information Removed] , which comes with windows 7 home basic! after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro 64-bit operating system ,my catalyst control centre ,host application has stopped workiing .

Hi,
Have you checked in the Device Manager to see if all drivers are installed since upgrading? (look for yellow exclamation points)
Uninstall the AMD driver and catalyst control center. Install the version located in the download section of the web support portal for your sleekbook.It will install both driver (intel and AMD) and also switchable graphics capability if it previously existed.
Best regards,

JRE 6 freeze browsers and Java Control Panel Applet stops working!

Hello,
this is the second time I got this problem with Java JRE 6 ! First one was a month or two ago:
I have Java JRE 6 update 20 installed on a Windows 7 64bit ultimate. It was working...much time ago...then i found my browser (firefox, google chrome or IE8) was freezing when I open java application or test pages. I tried uninstalling it, cleaning the system with Revo Uninstaller, or CCleaner or JavaRA and reinstalling with no luck. The other problem is the same that user Mass8 had (http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5372196&start=15&tstart=0)
...my java control panel applet is not working and give me this:
http://www.iouppo.com/lite/pics/df9b61008b5bf9de61a13d8bfa3ddad1.jpg
I tried disabling UAC, running JRE, starting Win7 in safe mode with network...but browser always freeze. It's not a true freeze, with CPU busy at 100% (cpu stays in idle) but it seems to wait for something. It's not a problem with video card driver on my machine, because I can start java control panel from command prompt...and without the noddraw switch, using this command:
javaw -Xbootclasspath/a:..\lib\deploy.jar -Duser.home="%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%" com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel
This was the description of my first time.....then I replaced my system with an Acronis image...and I used the system for sometimes....and Java was working until 3-4 days ago! So I did another image of the system with all things working.
Then this morning...I tried the java test page.....and surprise! It's not working anymore!
In these days I think I only disabled UAC and Account virtualization....maybe JAVA saves things there...and then when I disabled UAC (Windows7 deleted those folders and files) it can't find there anymore???? Who can help me?
I don't want to restore my image every month!
My system is 100% virus free and from the last image restoration I didn't visit suspicious sites and so on....I have antivirus and antispyware software...all is perfectly CLEAN. Any ideas or things to try?

I'm beginning to think it's something related to Hybernation after using JAVA....I'm using it very often...and if I use it...and I suspect Java is KO...i try control panel and it doesn't works....then I try with browser and it freeze (or keep waiting...and i can only force to close it)
THEN,
when I reboot my system I get this window
http://www.iouppo.com/lite/pics/09501eb799c165bb25ece8fd3261e41c.jpg
suggesting me to rename the folder C:\Program in C:\Program1 ...and if i don't rename it...java will never work...instead if I allow it...Windows will fix it!......This until...the next hybernation....:(....
try to replicate this...maybe I found where is the problem..

ImporterProcessServer.exe has stopped working...sound familiar?

Ok, I've read most if not all of the posts on this subject and this same issue is happening to me. I've tried the different solutions offered as well to little or no avail. Here is my story.
ImporterProcessServer.exe stops working during export using Adobe Media Encoder. I have a project that is 44 minutes in duration and the process stops at approximately halfway through the process each time. On smaller projects, duration of approximately 15 minutes or less the Encoder functions properly. At one point during time line render I would also get ImporterProcessServer error also but that seems to have subsided. Regardless of the project source clips DV, Blackmagic, or P2 formats I get the error on export or timeline render.
Here are my computer stats
Intel Dual Core E5420
64 Bit Vista SP2 Business Edition
ATI Radeon x300/x500/x1050
Serial ATA 250 GB drive for OS and Adobe Software
Serial ATA 1.5 TB raid 5 array for clip storage
24 GB Ram
Premiere CS4 version 4.1.0
Adobe Media Encoder version 4.4.107
Blackmagic Design HD Extreme Capture Card Driver Vers. 7.2 64 bit
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Vista several times, even flattening HD and starting over.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe CS4 same if not more times than the Vista OS
I was using CS3 on XP and didn't experience this issue, and to avoid the cute response I will get; no I'm not going back to CS3 and XP thank you. That ship has sailed and can't re-create all the CS4 projects in CS3.
So to sum up, yes I am yet another person with the same persistant ImporterProcessServer.exe problem. Yes, there are alot of us out here, many more than the ones that post. I waited months before posting, searching for an answer. Based on my experience and others I have read about, I feel many more would join the discussion if they weren't so fed up with frustration. So if Adobe is out there lurking on this forum, I say "Hi, how ya doing?" This software suite is expensive and I need to be productive to stay employed. Please help us! We're out here struggling to use your product.
Of course if anyone else has a positive constructive contribution to my post please send it along.
Thanks

Of course if anyone else has a positive constructive contribution to my post please send it along.
I wish that I did, especially with so well-written a post. Unfortunately, I only have a couple of questions, and they might have zero bearing on your issue:
1.) what is the free space available on your C:\ (the 250GB SATA, I assume)?
2.) is there anything different at about the halfway point in your Timeline (around where the error occurs)? *
3.) since the error occurs with different media, and different Capture, is the timing of the error pretty constant for all of these longer Sequences? [From your info, it seems that it is.]
That shorter Sequences do not yield the error, but longer ones do, I'm thinking that there might be some link to the Duration.
* However, with different media, I would assume that your Sequences would be rather different from one another, just longer than the Sequences that perform correctly.
Again, wish I had some answers for you. Just grasping at straws here. As we all know, there is little, if any Adobe presence here.
Good luck,
Hunt

No Sound - Audio Output Device has stopped working

Hi.
I've recently bought a new HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC Product Number F4T62EA#ABU with Windows 8 64-bit. The audio device is a Realtek High Definition Audio device.

Photoshop CC has stopped working when launching

Hello
So I just signed up to adobe CC, and installed Photoshop. I signed upto the £8.75 a month deal that was on the homepage.
My problem is everytime I go to launch photoshop either in 64bit or normal I keep getting the error message " Photoshop has stoped working" at the loading screen.
I am using Windows 7 professional 64bit OS service pack 1, 6 giggs of ram, i7 cpu. I am suing amd hd 7700 Graphics card. I have 150 giggs free on my C drive
I have tryed deleteing all the drivers for my graphics card and wacom tablet using revo unintsaller and driver sweeper, and then reinstalling them. Nothing seems to work.
I have tryed launching it in safe mode and clean boot, and it seems to work in those modes, but not in normal. In clean boot mode if I stop all MS services and launch programmes it works, but there are so many MS applications how would I even know what to stop in normal mode.
This is really doing my head in, I have spent hours now reinstalling, deleting drivers, sweeping etc, and nothing.
If this cannot be sorted, is there a way to stop my subscroption I just signed up for, it is a yera long deal, and if this dosnt work, I ma basically wasting my money.
Please help me.

So I got incontact with adobe customer chat and they couldnt help, they said it was a microsoft problem. I contacted microsoft and spoke to the lead solutions engineer there. He says its a preety raare and unique problem. He couldnt even fix it after 1 hour of taking control of my desktop. He is getting back to me tomorow after saying his going to research more into the matter.

TS3274 The sound on my iPad has stopped working. I've checked settings, but still unable to resolve. Have you any suggestions?

My iPad sound is dead. Can't seem to find a solution. Any ideas to resolve? Anyone ?

Try Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Tab key (to toggle panels) has stopped working.

This happens once in awhile and I haven't figured out if I've inadvertantly disabled it or if it's a bug. Closing and reopening AICS 4 does not fix it, nor does a total restart. I AM using a custom "Workplace" if that makes any difference.
Ray
PS… switched to a standard workspace and Tab still does not hide panels.

AICS 4, Mac OSX 10.6.4. Have not trashed prefs. I will try that once I've finished a rush job.
Thanks

ITunes has stopped working upon opening Windows 8.1

I uninstalled and reinstalled my iTunes and it wont open.....Help??

Can you open iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes)?
If so go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
Also go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset Cache.
And for good measure sign out of the iTunes Store.
You may find iTunes will now start normally.
