Why does my Photoshop CS4 Closed Immediately after I open it?

I can't figure it out. Photoshop closes about a second after I open it. I would have thought it was my PC, but it was working okay a couple of weeks ago.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Glad to help.

  • Photoshop CS5 closing seconds after program opens

    My CS5 keeps closing seconds after I open it. I don't even have to try and open a file. It just closes down. No warning, no errors, nothing!
    It was working fine two days ago. I'd rather not be forced to uninstall as I've got effect plugins that I use and that have custom settings.
    I don't know if I somehow inadvertently shut off a service that it needs to run or what, but any help would be appreciated.

    I'm running XP.
    As it seems the problem is the fact that CS5ServiceManger.exe is not starting up with photoshop.
    I learned early on with the program that if I tried to close CS5ServiceManger, photoshop would follow and close without warning.
    So when I tried to open it today I brought up taskmanager and CS5ServiceManger never showed up.
    This is strange as I had the program working the day before yesterday completely fine.

  • Why does my Photoshop CS4 keep shutting down

    My Photoshop will not open.  It gets to initializing menus and then an error pops up saying, "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working."  I know others have dealt with this but I have not been able to overcome it.  Here is what I have done:
    I have reinstalled the software
    updated the monitor drivers
    changed the color management to RGB instead of the Samsung that was there
    updated my video card drivers (Nvidia Quadro FX4800)
    checked for photoshop updates
    updated my wacom drivers (intuos4)
    deleted my preferences
    updated my aja drivers (AJA LHi Xena)
    Tried to run as administrator
    I don't have any Microsoft Office products on this machine.  I don't have a virus.  I pretty much ONLY have Adobe  products on it other than Itunes and McAfee.  I have added the AJA I/O and Cineform Prospect HD.
    PLEASE HELP  I am tired of messing with it.

  • Why does my photoshop cs4 shut down

    My photoshop has worked fine for 2 years now it won't open files.  I get a pop up screen from microsoft to send an error report about cs4 shutting down.  I can not open anything.  I even went to preferences so I could uninstall but it won't let me choose general pref without shutting itself down.  I tried reinstalling anyway and no help.

    Clear your preferences file and try to see if there's any progress. This should help you. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776

  • Why does my entire system freeze shortly after I open iTunes?

    Hi!
    So I have OS X Lion installed on my new iMac 21.5" desktop. I don't know if I'm having an OS problem or an App problem here. Everything seems to run fine (a little sluggish at times though) UNTIL I use iTunes. Within a couple minutes of having iTunes open, the entire system freezes up. I can't do anything except for move the cursor around. If I wait around, every 45 seconds or so, it unfreezes itself only for a brief second or two and then freezes again. After waiting around for several minutes of it doing this, I can eventually manuever around to force quit iTunes.. OR I can simply turn the power off from the back of the iMac and restart... Either way, I haven't even been able to submit crashes to Apple to alert them of a problem. Once iTunes has been force quit, everything runs fine again. I have had this happen at least 15 - 20 times already and am very frustrated! Does anyone have a good idea what's going on here? Any suggestions of what I should do? I haven't contacted Apple about this problem yet.
    Also, I've experienced this iTunes problem with both a small library (fewer than 100 songs), and with a very large library (1000s of songs). I usually won't have more than 4 apps opened at one time anyway as to not over burden my system.. So I don't believe I'm having a memory issue here. I've had this problem happen when my iPod was syncing, and when it was not even connected or turned on. I've tried several things including 1) reinstalling Lion, 2) resetting my iPod, 3) having all other items disconnected from my iMac, 4) I verified permissions and performed a disk repair in Disk Utility 5) turned Time Machine off & on... I haven't noticed problems with other applications.. other than once my DVD player froze up for a few seconds (along with the rest of my system) while on the dvd main menu. I really don't use many applications often and Lion is still new to me. So I'm not aware of having problems with other applications yet. Thanks.

  • Why are Spotlight and Dictionary quitting immediately after being opened and queried?

    Every since running an application named Mac Tuneup I have had problems with Spotlight and Dictionary.  For example, I open Spotlight, type in a query, the program runs, then quits unexpectedly.  The same is happening with Dictionary.  My suspicion is that Mac Tuneup removed something it shouldn't have, but I'm not sure what.  Any thoughts as to the best way of resolving this?

    I believe the issue is resolved.  I had already installed the 10.6.8 combo update and did a reinstall from the Snow Leopard disc, but I think a cold start shook everything into place.  As to Mac Tuneup, I realized I'd made a big mistake in buying it as soon as it started running.  It's long gone.  Thanks again.

  • Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??

    Why Does Premiere Pro CS4 Import Only 10 Seconds Of Layered Photoshop CS4 .psd??
    I have a 24 second clip I layered in Ps and when I import the psd into Pr THE SEQUENCE IS ALWAYS ONLY 10 SECONDS!
    How can I change this?  Why does this happen?  I really need to know as soon as possible.  I have a video project due this Wednesday (granted it's for an AV class where I'm just learning Pr.  But I can learn VERY FAST!)
    Thanks for your help.

    Just in case I wasn't clear in my last line "just Click-drag on the Tail of your .PSD to set the desired Duration," once you have Imported your .PSD (as Footage), just drag it to the Timeline, Click-drag on the right-hand margin (the Tail) and stretch out its Duration, as is required.
    Now, if you Imported as a Sequence, open that Sequence's Timeline, and do the same.
    I normally will set my Edit>Preferences>Still Duration to about what I think will be applicable, do my Import, and then with the Info Panel handy, just alter the Duration to suit.
    Good luck,

    I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

    And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
    Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
    Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
    You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
    Here's how to do both:
    Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
    Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
    Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
    Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
    Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
    Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop.  Maybe you don't want that.
    You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
    When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

    I'm not sure what this means. How is Reader or Acrobat printing from applications? Could you give us some more details as to what you are doing and how you are doing it? Also, do you have all those applications installed on the same machine or is it happening on multiple computers?

  • Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import pdf?

    Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import single pdf or multiple pdfs? frequently happens(2/3 times)

    Can you provide any more information about the files that are causing the problems? Are these particularly large files? Many pages or images? Have you opened these files in Photoshop CS5, or other versions of Photoshop?
    What do you see when you try to import these PDFs? Do you get the PDF Import dialog, allowing you to select pages or images from the PDF? Is so, is it hanging when you click OK or at another time?
    Any more details about the problem or other info (as well as sample files) you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help identify the cause of your problems.

I don't have a Power PC on either machine and this App does run on the older machine with an Intel processor. benrusy

    This is not new.  The fact that Mac OS no longer supports PowerPC applications starting with OS X Lion has been known for over a year now.  You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop
