Unable to open ANY file in Photoshop CS2

I was working on pretty big files. Lots of layers. I decided to restart the Computer in order to speed up the process. Once the computer booted up again i double clicked on one of the images and I got the lovely beach ball for quite some time...after well...about 2 minutes or so...NO sign of ANYTHING happenning i decided to close the program using the Command + Tab and then Quitting from there instead of force quit. USUALLY when I do that it takes a while to regroup and close, this time it does it instantly. NO files are opening it just stays there... "thinking" and when I quit it quites instantly. Has anyone else experienced this in the past? How could I solve this problem I am going NUTS! lol
Thank you for your time. Hope I can get some help soon.

Hello there,
I hope what im trying to say will be quite clear, well im still an amateur in photoshop, had some tutorial lessons, which were a bit worth it....but my problem is iv been trying to use photoshop 7.0 to edit some of my images but there is this grid appearing on the foreground of every image and it appears as if each image has been locked. I cant do any scaling, rotation, etc, as this grid doesnt want to go anywhere..
can somebody please help me...your help can be appreciated..
thanks,
peppy

  • Unable To Open Any Files In Photoshop CC

    Hi All,
    I am unable to open any file formats in my trial version of Photoshop CC. This problem seems to occur daily and the only way to resolve it is by restarting my laptop?
    File formats I am trying to open include a new PSD file, old PSD files and also jpg files, png files and pdf files.
    I am using an HP ProBook laptop but not sure of the model number.
    Any help to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated and if anyone needs anymore information don't hesitate to ask me?
    Thanks

    Allyson,
    Another welcome here.
    Along with the answers to Trevor's questions, how are you attempting to Open those Image files, i.e. Dbl-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, or from the File>Open menu in the Toolbar? If you are using the former, please try the latter. If you want to work from Windows Explorer, Rt-click on the file, and choose Open With, then Photoshop.
    Your comment about WMP being the default viewing program, seems to indicate that your File Associations have been changed, with WMP now set as the target program. If this is the case, then you will likely want to go to Folder Options (check for your specific version of Windows), and reset the File Associations for, say PSD, PSB, JPEG, etc., to point to Ps.
    Good luck,

  • Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

    Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
    I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.  This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers.  It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.  GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.  The codec was tentatively identified as:  C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm"  codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
    ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • Opening .CR2 files in Photoshop CS2

    I am trying to see if it possible to open .CR2 RAW files in Photoshop CS2, which brings up the message " Could not complete our request because it is not eh right kind of document"
    I have tried updating the Raw Plug in line with Adobe's website and putting the .8BI file into File Formats folder, but this does not seem to solve the problem.
    Adobe on line chat will not help.
    Any advice gratefully received.

    It appears support was added for the 40D in ACR 4.2, while CS2 will only support up to ACR 3.7.

  • Can't open any files in Photoshop Elements 9 and 11

    I have Photoshop Elements 9 and 11, and right now I cannot open any files at all in either one. I keep getting this same error message every time: "Your request cannot be completed because the file format module cannot parse the file". Anybody have any ideas about what's up with this? I have an iMac running MAC OS-X 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

    CheekyBugger,
    As you are using Photoshop Elements, and this is the Photoshop>General Discussions (PsElements' "big-brother"), I would normally Move this post. However, I know that you now have a post on the same issue, in the Photoshop Elements Forum (Moved from Premiere Elements), so I will just Lock this thread. Please continuse to troubleshoot your "Cannot Parse... " issue in the other thread, in the PsElements Forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1405398?tstart=0
    Good luck,

  • Unable to open any file in Elements 11

    Please help.  Why would my Elements 11 suddenly refuse to open ANY file.  It worked yesterday.  I uninstalled and reinstalled.  When I select open and select the file, nothing happens.  Nothing.  No errors, no opening of files, nothing.  It doesn't matter what file type I select, even psd files won't open.  I'm having to resort to going back and load Elements 7.   I have to get this work done.  Why is this happening?  What can I do to fix?

    Make sure you're online with a good connection, open PS 11, click on the Help menu and select "Updates.." on the bottom.  The rest should be automatic.  It should upgrade you to 7.4.

  • Can't open .NEF files in Photoshop CS2

    Heres the deal: I've updated and installed my camera raw in Photoshop CS2, so I have the latest version of it (ACR 3.7). I still can not open my .NEF files in Photoshop and when I view the files from Bridge it shows the generic thumbnail image.
    Information that might help:
    PS Version: Photoshop CS2
    ACR Version: Camera Raw 3.7
    Camera: Nikon D60
    Operating Sys: Mac OSX
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The D60 was not supported in ACR 3.7.  In fact, that version was the first to support the D40.  You will have to use the latest version of the DNG converter to convert your raw images to DNG.  Then you can open those files in ACR 3.7.

  • Unable to see DNG files in Photoshop CS2

    Hi:
    I am using Photoshop CS2 in Windows XP Pro and have *.CR2 pictures taken with Canon EOS 40D.
    I downloaded Camera_Raw_3.7.zip and extracted Camera Raw.8bi to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
    I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter ver. 4.3.1 and converted the Canon CR2 files to DNG files.
    I can see the pictures in Adobe Bridge CS2 1.0.4.6 fine.
    However, when I open Adobe Photoshop CS2 and try File/open, the drop down does not show any selection for DNG files. If I try to physically drag a file into Photoshop, I get the message that the extension is not supported.
    Upon opening Help/About Plug-In, I do not see Camera raw anywhere in the long list.
    What do I need to do to bring DNG files into Photoshop?
    Thanks.

    If you don't see Camera Raw in the list it usually means that it is not in the correct folder or the it might be damaged.
    It looks like you listed the correct folder at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
    When you navigate to that folder do you see Camera Raw.8bi listed? It might only say Camera Raw, depending on how you have Windows set up.
    Did you restart Photoshop after putting the filter into the File Formats folder?

  • Unable to open NEF files in Photoshop Elements

    I have recently purchased a Nikon 6100 and am unable to open the RAW files, saved in NEF format to Photoshop Elements 11 despite running all Adobe Updates.  Can anyone advise how I can do this please. Thanks

    Hi Nh239,
    Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click.
    Thanks

  • Unable to open RAW files with Photoshop CS6 - Camera Raw

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to open .CR2 files from a Canon 450D on Photoshop CS6 as well as with Lightroom 4 but it doesn't work.
    I've updated the Adobe Camera Raw to its latest edition (8.8), but anyway, when I try to open them it appears the message below: It basically says that photoshop is not able to open the file, make sure that you have installed the latest edition of Camera Raw and to visit the link for further info...
    After looking for solutions on Internet, I've also tried to convert the RAW files into DNG, but Adobe DNG converter says that the folder does not contain any RAW file, though they are all .CR2 files...
    I've tried several times in many ways... Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Benjamin,
    You were right. It was the camera's provided software transfer system. I've copied them directly from the (same) card to the desktop and works.
    Many many thanks! Cheers
