Suddenly cannot open an image file

PS 7 on a Vista machine with lots of RAM.
All has been working well for months and suddenly I cannot open any image file or start a new one. Tried re-installing from OEM disc and no improvement. Removed PS7 VIA the Windows utility and re-installed entire application from OEM disc with still no improvement.
When I try to open or start a new image the blue bar at the top of PS is illuminated, then I click on FILE and then on either NEW or OPEN. At that point everything stops. The drop down menus are grayed out and I cannot close the program by normal means. In order to close it I have to go to Task Manager and close the thing.
BTW: Sometimes Task Manager shows that the PS EXE application is using 44K and other times it shows about 7K.
Any suggestions will be happily recieved. Jack

I really hate to be a pain, but this has me stumped.
I tried to go to the preferences as you suggested but the same thing happens there. PS just freezes up and cannot be used at all. Even the red X at the top right of the screeen does nothing. I have to use Task Manager in order to quit the program.
I have removed PS from my machine VIA the Windows utility and reinstalled it several times with no improvement. I say that, but at one point I was able to open an image but when I tried to add another the system did the freeze up thing as above.
At some point I began to get sort of an error message during the PS bootup telling me that the PS interface font could not be loaded and that I should reboot my machine. I did that but there has been no change.
Frankly I cannot afford to buy time from Adobe to fix this so I am relying on you and the other folks on the board to hold my hand through this.
I thank you for your time and expertise.

I have adobe X1 and suddenly I cannot open my adobe files

Please help, I have Adobe reader x1 and suddenly I cannot open my adobe files that I had received and saved.

pwillener,
I feel Tatiehead and I have the same problem. If I try to open adobe reader 11 I get: Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try again.
If I try to open "AcroRd.exe from the Adobe program folder I get the same message. If I open a .pdf file with notepad I get the same looking thing Tatiehead gets.. a bunch of gibberish. I have uninstalled, with windows, the cleaner tool, and a program called Revo uninstaller. I have used ccleaners registry cleaner to remove anything of Adobe Reader it could find. When I reinstall Adobe I get the same message. I have tried these in different combinations several times to no avail.
The only fix I was able to make was to install [reference to crapware removed]. I was able to read my .PDF files fine then. That was not what I wanted but after spending hours trying to find a fix for Adobe Reader that was what I accepted.
I believe Adobe will, at some time find the answer and I will keep looking here for something to show up but for now that is the only thing I can find for my customer.

I just downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS6. And cannot open adobe eps files ?

I have installed Photoshop CS6 and cannot open adobe eps files? any Ideas

Hi there
When you say that you can't open eps files, are you getting an error message?
Photoshop CS6 has the ability to open both .eps and .ai files. However, opening by going to File > Open... will rasterize the image - meaning that it is no long a vector so you can't scale it up and down without losing quality. To open an .eps or .ai file in Photoshop and maintain its vector capabilities, try the following:
Create a new canvas in Photoshop. Then, go to File > Place...
After selecting your file from the Place dialog box, your image will be placed into your canvas. Resize accordingly, and then hit Enter on your keyboard.
The image you just placed is a Smart Object, meaning that it has retained its vector capabilities and can be resized without losing image quality. If you ever need to rasterized this image, just right click on the layer and select Rasterize Layer.
If you are still having trouble, please post here again so that we can provide additional assistance.
Cheers!
Kendall

Please confirm, I cannot open RAW images in CS2 from EOS 50D

Platform: XP Pro SP3
After shooting my first session using the new Canon EOS 50D DSLR I cannot open RAW images in Photoshop CS2. Canon told me there was a free upgrade available to replace my current RAW editor ver. 3.7 BUT it appears from what I've read that I must buy CS4 to open RAW files created in the new Canon 50D. Thank you for your efforts.

> ... from what I've read that I must buy CS4 to open RAW files created in the new Canon 50D.
Considering the $$ you paid for the 50D, updating CS2 to CS4 for the sake of all the improvements in ACR would be well worth the $200.

I opened the /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files of the mentioned packages and ran the mentioned commands with sudo. Today I got the following error while starting Wireshark (and gnuplot):
(gnuplot:8581): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type 'xpm' is not supported

It turns out that /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache was created with permissions 640 (due to my umask). The solution was to chmod 644 it.
(similarly, gtk-update-icon-cache created /usr/share/icons/hicolor/icon-theme.cache with wrong permissions (640). This did not seem to cause issues though.)
Hopefully it will be of help to someone.

I also got into problems after a pacman -Syu today.
I believe removing cleartype-cairo and installing cairo instead fixed the problem
Hope this helps.

Nikon d600, cannot open my NEF files in RAW. I have PS cs6. Please help!

I have a Nikon d600, Adobe PS cs6, and cannot open my NEF files in RAW. Please help!

In Photoshop, if you go to Help/About Plug-Ins/Camera Raw, what version of Camera Raw is reported? There should only be one version. And since you have Photoshop CS6 you could install Camera Raw 8.3.
Since you downloaded with the Nikon program, it could have changed your raw files such that they cannot be opened in Camera Raw. I understand there is a utility somewhere that will fix the files if that is the problem. But I don't recall how to find that utility.
Next time you have raw files to download, I suggest you use Lightroom to do the downloading from the card. I see no value in using any of the Nikon software to perform that task. If there is any chance that you still have the images on the card, I would suggest trying to download them again using Lightroom. But first you would have to remove the ones that you downloaded initially.

After updating photoshop CS5 to 12.0.4 x32 (windows) I cannot open my documents/files or create new

I had the problem before. Reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and updated again.
Clicking a file starts Photoshop but does not open the file.
If I click "new" to make a new file, nothing happens.
Help....!!!!!!

Hi PE
Yes, but nothing happened.
I was instructed to press some key during startup of Photoshop, and it should reset the program.
However, it did not work.

Maggedotno, is it the english version? Do you have third party plug-ins? Can you post the contents of help>system info?

Software to open McDraw image files

Need Tiger 10.4.11 compatible software to open MacDraw image files created in 1985-88 period that were used in a book I authored.
Appleworks cannot 'see' them. Any ideas short of tearing a book apart and scanning them.. which would preclude being able to alter them.

Image files may also be opened by http://www.lemkesoft.com/ 's GraphicConverter if they are non-vector in origin.

Have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop..got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still now working. Need help, please.

I have photoshop cs5 installed on desktop...got new Canon rebel T5i camera...cannot open RAW images...updated and installed plug-in...still not working...help please.

In any event, that camera was first supported by ACR version 7.4 which needs at least CS6 to run. Naturally, all later versions support it too.
Your choice is either to upgrade your Photoshop, or to look for, download, install, launch and run the free, stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter 8.6 on each folder containing your raw Canon files to convert them first to raw DNGs that you can open in CS5.
In no case does an Adobe application belong "on your desktop". The default install location should always be respected and left alone.

I cannot open this PDF file in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader on Windows 7 64-bit

I have a PDF file that I could open on my Windows XP 32-bit laptop in Acrobat 8 Pro or in Acrobat Reader. I then upgraded to a Windows 7 64-bit laptop. But now in Win7-64, I cannot open this same file using the same apps (Acrobat 8 Pro & Acrobat Reader XI).
When I try to open it in Acrobat 8, it does not load and instead a popup windows appears saying -
Adobe Updater
Some components needed to complete this operation are missing but information about them may be available on the Adobe website. Would you like to search the Adobe website for the missing components?
And I can choose either the OK or Quit buttons. When I click OK, a web browser starts and goes to this website -
http://www.adobe.com/special/adobe_update_manager/?type=Filter&name=FOPN_foweb&version=0.0 .0.0&lang=en_US&os=Windows&osver=6.1.7601&appid=acrobat8pro-en_US&cpu=intel
This webpage says -
Adobe Update Manager
Adobe cannot locate the requested plugin. New plugins will be listed on this page. Currently there are no plugins.
So now I am stuck, no direction to go. I am left without any solution from Adobe for Acrobat on this file.
When I try to open this PDF file in Reader, it does not load and instead a web browser is spawned loading the webpage -
http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
This is the FileOpen Plug-in for Adobe Acrobat/Reader, which prompts to -
Please click OK to download the FileOpen Plug-in Installer for Adobe Acrobat/Reader
I click on OK, download and run the Installer file, accept the terms, and installed the FileOpen Client (x64) B928. Upon completion, it prompts to Finish. But it does not automatically bring Reader up or try to load the file. So I try again to load the PDF file into Reader. But once again, the file does not load and the web browser is spawned loading the same FileOpen Plug-in Installer link. I click OK again, and start the same FileOpen Client process. This time, it recognizes that I have FileOpen Client installed, and the window gives me two choices, Repair or Remove. So since I apparently need this Plug-in, I choose Repair. The process seems to complete the Repair. But when I try to load the file, it still brings me back to the FileOpen Plug-in webpage. So now I am stuck again, and left without any solution from Adobe for Reader on this file.
I tried Adobe support. But apparently Adobe does not support past releases of their products (Acrobat 8), and also does not give free support for the current version of their free products (Reader XI).
Can this be fixed?

How is Acrobat 8 not fully Windows 7 compatible? I see discussions on this Adobe Community saying how Acrobat 8 does work on Windows 7 and with 64-bit. It appears that if Acrobat 8 is updated to the latest version, then this should fix AA8-Win7 issues. And I am at the latest AA8 version, 8.3.1.
And how are Acrobat 8 and Reader XI are not compatible? I have always had Acrobat and Reader installed on the same PC, without ever having any issues. And Adobe allows the installation of one after the other. So apparently Adobe allows them both to exist together. If they are incompatible, then why would Adobe allow them to exist together?
Anyway, I did uninstall the FileOpen Plug-in and the Reader XI, then reinstalled the FileOpen Plug-in. So now Reader is not installed and only Acrobat 8 is installed. I then tried to load the PDF file, but I still get the Acrobat 8 error described above.

Publisher hangs when I try to open an image file

Few Questions:
a. What version of publisher/PowerPoint are you using ?
b. Are you able to insert this image through Insert -> Image ? Image itself could be corrupt. Try to open it with some other editor ?

Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 from my new Nikon D800 camera.

That's it, I Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw from my new Nikon D800 camera. What am I doing wrong or what is wrong? I have the plug-in Camera Raw 7. and can open TIFF files but not the NEF files.
Peace,
Charles Fennen

Hi ssprengel,
to explain the scenario, i am basically a D7000 user and I do post production with Windows computer. But for an assignment I have hired D800, they have provided me their SD memory card. I have used the same memory card while shooting.
I have transferred the NEF files from the camera using Nikon software. The transfer was successful but i am not able to open the Raw NEF file with ACR. Even my plugins are updated till date.
The NEF thumbnails are having small lock logo in the bottom left corner. I do not know what does that mean. Like this.
Kindly let me know what would be the prob? if my RAW files are corrupted kindly let me know how will I recover them?
Thank you.

Suddenly cannot open an image file
