CS5 - Photoshop does not start: preferences was not valid (it was deleted)

Environment:

Win7 Ultimate - ram 4 GB - CS5 Design Premium

Seemingly out of the blue - Photoshop stopped loading, and I'm getting two error messages:

first: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "unable to load actions because an unexpected end of file was encountered."

Second: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it was deleted)."

  • I deleted the two preference files - but they do not seem to repopulate at startup - (or if they do, they are removed by the error message)

  • I tried to copy a file from another machine of work preferences, but this has not as well.

Also: Dreamweaver is deporting the following error messages - but opens and seems to operate normally.

The following JavaScript error has occurred: cannot open script file C:\Program Files (x 86) Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Spry\Designtime\EditingUtils.js (error 2).

The following JavaScript error has occurred: cannot open script file ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscripts.js "(error 2).

I'm in the middle of a big project and need to recover quickly - any help would be appreciated.

THX.

Run photoshop as administrator holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, which should trigger a preferences reset prompt.

If this does not work I do a backup and remove the whole Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings, not only the two files you mentioned.

As for your question of Dreamweaver, try to delete the WinFileCache-* .dat (or FileCache.dat) of your Dreamweaver configuration folder.

Otherwise try to delete your preferences

  • Release of Dreamweaver.

  • In Windows Explorer, navigate to \AppData\Roaming\Adobe C:\Users\Your User Name.

  • Rename the folder of Dreamweaver preferences:

    • Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the folder Dreamweaver CS5, for example, of old of Dreamweaver CS5.
  • Click Start, type regedit in start search and press ENTER.

  • In the left pane of the registry editor, navigate to the following key:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe

  • Remove Dreamweaver preferences registry entries.

  • I bought a Canon 70 d. Photoshop CS5 extended does not load the CR2 files. I installed Camera Raw 0.2. Help

    I bought a Canon 70 d. Photoshop CS5 extended does not load the CR2 files. I installed Camera Raw 0.2. Help

    Photoshop CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw to version 6.7. Photoshop CS5 is is no longer updated by Adobe. The best way to have the latest version of Photoshop is to his scribe for the package of creative photography of cloud. This would have the latest version of Photoshop and Lightroom. You will receive updates of these two programs through the creative cloud.

    If you don't want to upgrade your Photoshop you can download and use the DNG Converter last to create digital copies of (DNG) negatives of your raw images. You would be able to use these files with the software you already have. But you won't receive updates for the software you are currently using. Your new device photo, the 70 d, requires camera Raw 8.2 which is only compatible with Photoshop CS6. Camera Raw 9.2 is only compatible with Photoshop CC 2015, which is only available through the creative cloud. You might want to consider the purchase of 14 Photoshop elements as a complementary program to what you use.

  • 2015 CC Photoshop does not recognize nvidia gt630m

    Hello.

    I know it's a common question but I want to use all the power of my laptop.

    So my laptop based on the Core i3 - 3110 m cpu and nvidia geforce gt630m gpu 2 GB, 8 GB of ram. 8.1 Windows x 64

    application version - Adobe Photoshop Version: 2015.1.2 20160113.r.355 x 64

    version of the nvidia driver is 364.72

    All the drivers are up to date.

    The problem is Photoshop does not recognize the gpu nvidia and uses only integrated intel hd 4000 instead.

    intel.png

    Well, I tried to manually select the gpu from nvidia Control Panel

    manage.png

    and when I did - Photoshop not just recognition gpu, empty empty preference section:

    nvidia.png

    also in these cases I get an error when you open any image:

    error.png

    According to official information, my gpu (nvidia 600series) has been tested and should work fine.

    Well, I found a solution in the forum of nvidia, but it's barbaric and disabled-switching automatic of the gpu on the entire system.

    In addition, in Lightroom, all is ok:

    lightroom.png

    I thank you for the attention, hope that my problem would be solved.

    Well, ok, adobe support cannot resolve this problem, I got it.

    I tried many things and spent some time on it. Program running as administrator, choosing gpu in nvidia Control Panel, install different versions of the drivers and all with cleaning system and the registry. Everything was useless. But.

    I found the solution.

    I have uninstall Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.1.2 (20160113.r.355) - clean registry and install the previous version - Adobe Photoshop CC 2015 (20150722.r.168).

    Figures that newest version of PS work well with nvidia gt 630 m, perhaps, it has not been tested at all.

    He can hardly qualified as a solution but now Photoshop sees my gpu at least.

    Hope Adobe will fix this problem in the new version of Photoshop. Maybe this can help someone.

    Best regards, wire.

  • Photoshop does not recognize my card 960graphic GeForce GTX

    Hello

    I need help on my graphics (GTX 960). Everything's fine (yesterday until I update an extension called FlatIcon (Fi)). I used it for a long time and nothing wrong. Now, Photoshop does not recognize my card. I updated the driver NVIDIA, photoshop set to run as a high performance with NVIDIA Control Panel, remove FlatIcon extension, reset prerefences (Alt + Ctrl + Shift), increase the size of the Scratch drive (200 GB free now), but without hope. I hope someone can help me solve this problem, thank you 1 million.

    Can you have a think when this started.  Could he have when you went from CC2014 to CC2015 for example?  CC2015 makes the best use of the GPU acceleration and seems to be more picky about the material.

    You are not able to check the use of GPU acceleration at all, or simply not advanced drawing mode?

    What driver version are you using?

    FWIIW, my experience with a GTX970 was that I could only use Basic Drawing mode in CC2014, but it suddenly allowed me to set the mode advanced for awhile and then changed me back to the basic mode when I upgraded to CC2015

    353,3 get mode advanced for a short period, but it passed without known reason.

    Displays how do you drive?

    You have only a GTX960?
