Unable to get Photoshop CS2 to work

Hi, I have just installed Photoshop CS2 on my new win VISTA HOME machine. There was no problems, I got a notification of a large update from ADOBE, so I accpeted, shut down Photoshop, installed updates and then when I re-boot my machine and opened up Photoshop again, I got this error message.
"Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable"
Any help would be great

I am now running a trial CS4 on my VISTA Home Basic machine. Which is a little slow even with 3gb of RAM... Maybe I need to buy upgrade to CS4 and VISTA Home Premium or VISTA Business?
Any thoughts on that?
From the system requirements page for CS4:
Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 (Service Pack 3 recommended) or Windows Vista® Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or Enterprise with Service Pack 1 (certified for 32-bit Windows XP and 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Vista)

I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs

I have been unable to get Photoshop Elements 11 to show in my Open With Programs list. The program is installed but will not show in Open With programs.

Hi,
You don't say which operating system you are using so I'll assume Windows 7 for now - try this.
1) select the file that you want to open
2) right click on it and go to the Open With option but select Choose default program at the bottom of the list - the following should open
3) At the bottom of the list, there is Other Programs, you may need to scroll down. If PSE not in the list, continue with the following.
4) Use the Browse button to browse to the following (omit x86 if on 32bit system)
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
I'm assuming that you want to open the image in the editor.
5) Uncheck the Always use... option, otherwise double clicking on the file would cause the editor to open by default.
6) Click on OK
PSE should now appear on your open with list.
Good luck
Brian

Contact Adobe sales or Adobe Customer Service.
You would have to upgrade to CS6 for Mac as a "cross-grade" or platform swap.
They will not allow you to simply swap for CS5 Mac, because CS5 is no longer sold or supported.
You can either upgrade to CS6 Mac by way of platform swap for some $200, or you can join the Cash Cow subscription mode.

Hello;
This is expected.
Works the same exact way on my system. How Redo Data is applied is set when the database is MOUNTED.
See - 6 Redo Apply Services

The document is vague on this at best, but think about the error you get if you try to start apply twice.

Get photoshop has stopped working error on Launch on my Win 8 pc

About two weeks ago I downloaded Adobe CC for students, my problem is that photshop is not working. When I start the program i get the following message:"photoshop has stopped working and needs to be closed, windows will tell you if there is any solution in the future" I have tried to re-install it twice, and I just updated the program.
I got windows 8
Hope to get some help soon! Thanks!

Does this happen only with Photoshop CC or with other Adobe apps like InDesign CC & Illustrator CC?
What version of PS CC do you use?
Try updating to Win 8.1 and that should install all the required windows updates and then check the same.
You still want to install the video card driver from the manufacturer website, as already suggested by Chris, to be double sure that you have the right GPU drivers installed.
In case your PS still crash, check Event Viewer for the Faulty Module and let us know.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308427
Event Viewer > Windows Logs > Application
Look for "Error" in red color and check the Application name and faulty module.

Unable to get Bluetooth Headset Profile working with mic on Toshiba BT Stac

Hi.
I am having problems using my Motorola HT-820 Stereo headset, with the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack installed on Vista Home Premium 32bit laptop.
I am unable to get the mic to function at all, so cannot use it for Skype / VOIP calls etc. Features such as the A2DP and AVRCP work fine, and I can listen to music via media player without issues.
I have read in a FAQ on this site, to make sure I use the Custom Setup option rather than Express Setup when adding the device, but it doesnt seem to make any difference, am I missing a step here?
In the Windows Recording device properties, I can see the option listed for Bluetooth Mic, but even setting it as the default device doesnt work.
I know from connecting my headset to my Desktop PC which uses the Widdcom bluetooth stack, that i can use the Headset/mic function, but this stack seems to work differently, as in I can select the headset option within the bluetooth settings, but I cannot see such an option withing the Toshiba stack - and i think this is where the problem is.
I have updated to the latest Toshiba stack from this web site, but this has not helped any.
Any help here would be appreciated.
Regards
Matt

Hello Matt
Unfortunately I can not help you with this but if I am remembering well here on BT section someone already asked something similar. Please take a little bit time and check BT section on this forum.
You can also visit FAQ section on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/
Maybe will find something there.
Good luck!

I cannot get Photoshop CC to work because of some Windows 8 software issue

I am trying to get my version of Photoshop CC to work on my computer. But when I do so, it always shuts down when I get a message which says "QtCorePcQt4.dll". I had tried to install a version of Picture Code (Noise Ninja) as a plug-in earlier this afternoon am I am wondering if that caused the trouble. I want to get this corrected myself. What do I do?

It as possible plugins are known to cause havoc if they were not installed correctly. I don't have that plugin so can't confirm or deny any issues.
My suggestion is to start over, uninstall all Adobe apps including the manager. They can be uninstalled inside the manager, then use the normal add/remove programs in the control panel to uninstall the manager.
Restart your computer, then install the manager then the apps you need inside the manager.
If this does not work or the manager refuses to uninstall a search on Adobe's website is a download for the Adobe cleaner. It will remove all traces then you can restart then install.
If both of these methods fail let us know.

Photoshop cs2 not working

Ive just found out after buying and installing mountain lion that photoshop cs2 isnt compatible !!!
Obviously slightly annoyed but staying calm
Is there any easy workaround for this or does anyone know if I can get refunded by apple and return to snow leopard ?
Cant justify spending hundreds of pounds more on updating photoshop as I dont need to but its essential for my business !
Any help would be great !

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You should always check that your applications are supported before upgrading Mac OS X. See > http://www.roaringapps.com
Now, you can install Snow Leopard on a second partition and keep Mountain Lion in the first one. The virtual machine isn't a valid option because Photoshop requires the use of the GPU.
To do this, first open Disk Utility and create a volume. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
Then, insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key while your Mac is starting. Follow the steps to install OS X Snow Leopard on the second partition, and install Photoshop.
If you want to switch between Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion, hold the Option (Alt) key while your Mac is starting. If you want to set the startup disk, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk

Unable to get listeners on server working

I have 2 listeners (listener_ss01 & listener_ss02) for 2 database instances in the same Linux 6.1 server.
Below is my configuration in the listener.ora file.
I am unable to get both listeners up together.
If I use 'lsnrctl start listener_ss01', there is no service handler assigned to it. And starting the 2nd listener, I will be told that is already started. As there is no service handler assigned to it, I am not able to connect to either databases.
However, if I only have one listener configuration in the file, it will work properly under the listener name LISTENER.
Please help me.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply, Ravi.
I did the modification (as you have advised) but I am only able to get one listener running at a time.
When I use "lsnrctl start listener_ss01",
listener_ss01 gets started and is assigned a service handler.
However, when I next enter "lsnrctl start listener_ss02", I get the message informing that the listener has been started using listener_ss01. I am thus only able to connect to database ss01 and not ss02.
Will appreciate if you could help me further. Thanks.
Regards.

Photoshop CS2 not working after 10.6.7 update? program error!

Could not complete your request because of a program error. I opened an image RGB and wanted to save it as a CMYK.
Save as and entered new name... thats it! Then the error popped up. The only thing that has changed is the update!
Please help.

If you updated to 10.6.7 then you should (go to your Apple menu at the far left and) check for updates.
There was a problem with some types of Fonts that has been fixed by the Snow Leopard Font update:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1377
However, always wait after an OS update (true of Windows too) and see if it causes any problems with 3rd-party software, etc. - PRIOR to updating your system And always, always have a full, known-good backup before you update. Especially for any computer that is used for business purposes !
Last but definitely not least, you should know that Adobe CS2 is a Power-PC only application (circa G4 and G5 processors, before Apple moved to Intel processors), and requires Rosetta (PowerPC emulation).
So you should consider any CS2 application running at all, as fairly miraculous.
CS3 was released four years ago, and provided the first Intel-native ("Universal Binary") versions of the CS-suite applications.
Mac OS 10.6 only runs on Intel-based Macs (ie: Intel processor required).
If you are using Photoshop CS2 for any revenue-generating purposes, then it is (and was) incumbent upon you to properly allocate and budget for
upgrades and you should - nay, must - be running a more current version of the software. If your budget does not allow for newer Adobe CS, then you should have kept a legacy system that can run an older Mac OS, and understand that your workflow is living on borrowed time - and you had best keep several old Macs that can still run an older Mac OS and run your CS2 natively.
In no way shape or form is CS2 supported under Mac OS X 10.6 - certainly not in any official way by Adobe !
You could also be irate about not being able to use your 8-track tape player in your brand new car. I'm exaggerating but not too much.
Please read Adobe's response regarding CS3 (not CS2) and 10.6/Snow Leopard:
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2009/08/adobe_snow_leopard_faq.html
With all of this in mind, you should know that your frustrations with Apple and the unsupported and not-recommended interaction of CS2 and 10.6 are misguided. Best of luck to you !
