Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 - launch crashes on the registration screen, all grayed out menu items

I use Adobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.1.

At the launch, opens the window marked "Adobe Design Suite Premium CS3" - it is only filled with white and no text or graphics (I think that's usually the window asking me if I want to register, which always comes back when I run the program (rather annoying in itself).  However, it seems now that the launch is "interferes" in this window, like, even the program starts, all the menus are dimmed, and I can't open any files or anything.  Also, the above window has only the 'reduce' yellow button available at the top left, so I cannot close or otherwise get rid of it.  Since even the Quit function is grayed out, I have to leave the program with a force quit.  In addition, this same thing happens in my other CS3 programs (In Design) as well.

I tried trashing the plist of photoshop (com.adobe.photoshop.plist) and also the file com.adobe.118.registration, which had no effect.

Can any advice on how I fix?

Thank you!

I hope that this solution will work for you:

    Hello

    The serial key cannot be located within the program, however, you can try to download an app to Apple: Mac product Key Finder, which can help you to extract the key of your version of Photoshop.

  • sqldeveloper - 4.0.3.16.84 - x 64 crashes after the splash screen

    I had successfully used my installation of sqldeveloper - 4.0.3.16.84 - x 64 last week. After an update to windows 7 enterprise SP1 crashes after the splash screen and about 10% of the progress bar, until the message saying it is saving the extensions. There is no error or other messages of information displayed. I tried to run from a command window produces no additional information. I deleted the sqldeveloper folder and downloaded a zip file and reinstalled. Same behavior.

    The Data Modeler works very well.

    Any suggestions on how to do this problem.

    Hi Andy,.

    If the problem is not with the installation of SQL Developer (which you have unpacked in an empty directory) or find the JDK or having a JDK version that is inappropriate, you should then see if your user settings has been corrupted or (maybe) is somehow became less accessible than before the update of Windows 7 SP1.  These settings can be found under C: \Users\-Appdata\Roaming\SQL Developer\system4.0.3.16.84.


    Here is a compilation of a few standard tips offered several times before on this forum for this kind of situation:

    1 see if behavior persists after the removal of the settings and restart SQL Developer without migrating settings.

    (Be sure to make a backup (export) of your connections first!)

    2. see if (assuming that (1) does not help) allows to reinstall SQL Developer.

    If the fault cannot be placed on a migration of settings / download / installation corrupt, then we can start to consider...

    3. possible problΦmes with older JDK.

    4 OutOfMemory possible problΦmes that may be hidden by running only no Developer SQL from a command line console.

    5. a new bug.

    So try (1) and (2) If you have not already.  Ignore (3) If you are already using jdk7_u51 or later and are not on a Mac.  Point (4) can be a problem if you have many windows to restore and did not mount the Xmx values in the file product.conf - especially if you use a 64 bit JDK.  And (5), if you have the urge, see...

    http://www.thatjeffsmith.com/archive/2012/06/how-to-collect-Debug-Info-for-Oracle-SQL-Developer/

    And if you want to try (1) in a clean 'sandbox' unaffected by existing directories of user settings, you can always add one

    AddVMOption - Dide.user.dir =

    line to your sqldeveloper.conf file.

    Hope this helps,

    Gary

    SQL development team

    P.S.: And keep in mind that SQL Developer "score" to a specific JDK in 4.0 and above all used the SetJavaHome in the product, conf, rather than sqldeveloper.conf

  • CC of Photoshop crashes at the opening, but all other CC applications seem to work very well.

    I just installed CC last night, so I have a lot of time working with the CC apps still... Bridge is works well since the beginning for a LOT of sorting and tagging the images for a day and a half, and I opened CameraRAW, a handful of times without problem, then tonight I tried to open Photoshop CC for the first time and got a bunch of strange on expired trials and problems of activation messages and other errors and then it crashed... At first, I think that my internet security software might hinder attempts to Photoshop to confirm licensing online, but I seem to have gotten smooth... so I no longer get the weird licensing error, but just after that Photoshop load very quickly get the error "Photoshop has stop working" and it crashes. After experiencing this problem I went and I tried all my other apps CC and first, Illustrator, InDesign, bridge all seem well... just Photoshop gives me questions.

    I've tried "disconnect" and the signature in CC apps as suggested in the forums.

    I use CC on Windows 7 pro. I have Master Collection CS3 and CS5 installed on this computer... but I uninstalled these completely before installing new applications. I had some errors in the installation of CS3 so I used the Adobe cleaning tool to ensure that the CS5 and CS3 was completely uninstalled before you start fresh with CC. I do not expect this previous software is at the origin of the problems, but I thought I'd give a full description of my situation.

    Here are the full details provided in the error message when Photoshop CC crashes.

    I got it working with the help of Live Chat technical support. There was some sort of error that happens with my graphics driver... something that was not a problem with my previous version of Photoshop is now a problem with the new version. I've updated the graphics card driver and software through the manufacturer's website and that helped me to pass through.

    After updating the driver... at first it was as if I'd a while back... I'm a mistake period expired trial again on open Photoshop first, but then I tried again a disconnection and connection back to the CC, as noted previously ( http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/cc-applications-crash-immediately-launch.html )... and this time, which contributed to correct the error of the trial and that time was not followed to crash (thanks to the update of the graphics driver).

    I have an ATI Radeon HD 5670 graphics card. The previous version of the driver that I was running was not working with Photoshop CC. I've now updated the driver to version 12.104.0.0 and everything works now.

    Thanks to the Live Chat technician who quickly identified my graphics as the question!

    Definitely. You need the version 5.7, which is only for CS4.

  • Creative cloud programs crashing on the start screen.

    I got out of work Friday, sut down my computer and I come back Monday and most of my programs installed recently CC crash at startup.

    I'm on a Mac on 10.7.5

    That's how crash programs:

    The creative application of cloud does not start

    Illustrator, Indesign crash on their splash screen - just suspended programs where it is said to run the process to start...

    First, prelude and Speedgrade all try to bring it up to Adobe Application Manager that hangs and then, causing programs don't no pitching.

    Thant programs start no problem are Photoshop, After Effects, Bridge, and Lightroom.

    I can get the creative cloud to launch the toolbar, so I can't get updates or anything.

    So far, I have tried restarting the computer, repair disk permissions and by removing all preferences of adobe out of the library.

    So my question is what is the next step for this race?

    As a side note, I can't connect to the forum without disconnecting and empty my cache, and only in the Safari - browser everything just go to a redirection loop.

    Nevermind, I fixed it myself.

    Thanks for nothing Adobe are supported.

  • InDesign crashes after the Welcome screen appears

    My InDesign CC had an update yesterday. Since when I run it now it crashes on the homescreen, I had turned it off before somehow in the contents of the package, but the update caused, he appears again, causing the program to freeze and make me force restart the computer with the power button. There is no option to stop even appear in the preferences. This happened with Photoshop and Illustrator before too. I have a screenshot of what looks like the home screen; Somehow, he goes all blurry and stained so I can't select something to say "don't show this again". I can not find any topic on this solution as it kept coming up with Photoshop. I use an iMac 20 inch Late 2006 OS X Lion (which is pretty slow!) with a 2 GB SDRAM. Tried contacting Adobe via chat but they do not have anyone to help me. Here is the image:

    Screen Shot 2015-02-13 at 11.56.48.png

    I now have this sort, Adobe rang back me and helped me via remote access. They have deleted a file in the contents of the package (I thought to do this, but didn't know where to go or what to remove, think it was called "What's New" or something) and it works fine now. They told me NOT to update InDesign for a while until they know it will work ok once, do not want the same thing happens everywhere!

    Happened the first time when I got so InDesign CC, which was strange, but the update does happen!

    Thanks for your help, guys!

  • Win XP crashes after the splash screen (charge PointSec)

    I have a laptop lenovo t400, which has Pointsec Encryption (6.1.3), and WinXP loaded thereon.

    I ran the update tool think that Vantage Lenovo that has downloaded and installed a number of updates - I didn't run it for centuries.

    Now when I try to start the computer it crashes after the XP splash screen is displayed. Simply, the screen goes black.

    I tried the options Mode safe (include VGA Mode and start with the last successful configuration) without success. Also, they fail to start.

    The flow rate is:

    Power On, screen authentication PointSec, Win XP Splash screen, and then a black screen

    I got successfully into the system using UBCD4Win with pointsec plugin loaded, load a WinPE environment on a USB and allows me to access the C: drive unencrypted (as I've authenticated with Pointsec).

    I'm really stuck for ideas as to the update is the cause of the problem and I'd love to hear some suggestions on how to remedy this situation.

    Original files have been found in places like: c:\windows\system32\reinstallbackups\008\DriverFiles

    * Finally, I had to roll back updates of the register who did the updates. UBCD4Win offers a tool to do this: the registry Restore Wizard. He basically just look in c:\System Volume Information System Restore directory and lists all the Restore Points available (Fortunately the Lenovo updates mark a restore point until they run). You can also do it manually using the following instructions:
