Why don't will not open Photoshop CS2 after installation.

I got Creative Suite Premium installed on my laptop for years and not had any problems.  I installed it on my home office and activation has been accepted.  Other programs of the Suite work but Photoshop will only as far as the blue window and the hourglass just sits there.  I work with XP Pro and when I open the Photoshop Task Manager is presented as does not.  I tried to repair it with the installation disk and I tried to uninstall/reinstall twice but nothing seems to help.

As I put the Suite on my laptop, the installation discs were on my book shelf.  What could possibly prevent opening Photoshop?

Many thanks in advance,

Jim Lynn

What is shown in the blue like loading window when the thing freezes?

Have you tried to reset your preferences, as described in the FAQ.

You must physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if you use the Alt, Ctrl, and shift, don't forget you get a confirmation dialog box.

This resets all settings in Photoshop default.   A complete uninstall/reinstall will not affect preferences and a corrupted file may be the cause of the problem.

  • I don't know what to do about Java - my Mac is horribly slow, and I was advised to remove Java. But now it will not open Photoshop without Java.

    I don't know what to do about Java - my Mac is horribly slow, and I was advised to remove Java, it installs adware. The more I studied, the more information, I've seen say that most of the Web sites and software do not use Java on Mac more. So I deleted everything related with Java. But now it will not open Photoshop without Java. It will be safe if I get it directly from the Oracle site?

    You can download the installer for OS X directly from Oracle. Be sure to uncheck everything installs 'optional' which can appear at the beginning (I think on Windows it wants to install McAfee trial or the toolbar Bing - not really malware, more as desired and useless crud-ware).  I have a course Java JRE install on my MacBook Pro retina like some internal tools we have developed to work are currently java and I use a tool of u. Toronto called CytoScape is Java.  Sites Web will use Java Script, a very different beast and does not require a full Java or JRE install.  But with Java/JRE installed, just be sure of the source of any software that you download and install that is java based (as you should with all the software that you put on your machine).

    In addition, for PhotoShop, it says that you need the legacy Java 6 for OS X?  If so, then don't waste your time on the current version, just install that release 6 legacy.

  • First will not open my project after that I have record in SpeedGrade via Direct link

    First will not open my project after that I have record in SpeedGrade via Direct link

    Last night, I installed all the updates of CC, everything went well.

    All day I was doing the color correction in SpeedGrade to PremierePro project via direct link.

    After I finished, I wanted to go back to first to make an export (my manager was waiting for a sample) only, when the first attempted to connect to the project I worked on SpeedGrade, could not open!

    She the Saturn: "this project has been saved in a newer version of Adobe Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version.

    Before panic to my Director of waiting, I've saved every look I did in SpeedGrade as an individual LUT I could manually apply in an earlier version of the PremierePro project. But it took a long time and it's may not be a long-term option.

    What can be the problem between saving in SpeedGrade and then back in PremierePro?

    I PremierePro CC 2015 v. 9.02 (6) and CC SpeedGrade 2015 v. 2015.1

    I'm working on MacBook Pro Retina display 15'.

    Simple... you SpeedGrade 2015.1 (9.2) and PrPro 2015.0.1 (9.0.1). They don't 'work' together.

    You must get your PrPro up to 9.1, 2015.1 release. If your desktop application Adobe CC is not show your 'eligible' for the upgrade PrPro, sign out of it, then back in... that often useful. If this isn't the case, you may need to use the soft Cleaner CC Adobe to remove the application from Office CC & then reinstall it and reconnect.

  • Lightroom will not open Photoshop

    I have LR and PS CC 2015 and just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10. Before the upgrade, everything worked to the book.

    Especially having made an edit in LR I could use LR options to open the photo as a smart object in PS, edit in PS or use one of the other options on the menu.

    Now when I try to do this I first wonder if I will allow HP to make changes to my computer (the only option is okay) and then I get another message that "PS CC 2015 cannot be started. (It may or may not be significant that the PS icon on my desktop now has a small shield he had not before the upgrade!)

    However if I use LR option to change "a copy without LR adjustments" after the request to allow HP to make changes to the computer, the photo will open in PS.

    I did a complete removal reinstall LR and PS according to the instructions from Adobe, but get the same result.

    I also have the bridge CC2015 and if I get a picture and double click it to launch PS I get the message about changing of the computer but then agreeing PS open as it did before the upgrade.

    I should also add that if I try to open PS directly (without going through the LR) I always get the message about the HP want to make changes to my computer again, when I am right, the PS opens and seems to work as it should.

    Summary: it seems to me having won two problems with the upgrade; (1) the message about changes to my PC and. (2) LR edits will not transfer Photoshop for further editing.

    Can anyone help?

    FWG salvation,

    The cause of these two questions is that Photoshop is defined for every moment of running as an administrator.

    Suggest you follow the steps below:

    • Quit Photoshop
    • Right-click on the Photoshop icon, then choose Properties
    • Go to the Compatibility tab > select "Change settings for all users" > uncheck "run this program as an administrator > click apply and then click OK."
    • Then, follow the steps in your workflow, and I think it would work very well.

    Kind regards

  • Firefox will not open at all, after the last update (13.08.2015).

    After the update (40.0.2 @ 13.08.2015) just used Firefox open. The process is visible in the Task Manager, but does nothing. no window. JUST. NOTHING. It works only in safe mode or when ran as administrator. I tried other computers from home too. Same thing.

    How to fix?

    Try a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

  • Why my files will not open in Photoshop?

    Hello

    I have Photoshop CS6 and I use an iMAC. Everything went well until today. I opened it and the toolbar at the top of the page appears, disappears from the side toolbar but when I try to open a file without window opens.

    When I click on my desktop the Finder toolbar at the top of my screen turns off and when I try to click on the Photoshop icon, nothing happens and I can't go back into Photoshop unless I quit the app.

    Please help as I have no idea of what has past

    I can't say, but I'll give you advice.

    First be sure that Photoshop is updated to 13.0.6 or 13.1.2 (CC) by going to help > updates.

    Run disk utility to check your drive and also don't forget to fix the permissions.

    Finally, reset the keyboard preferences:

    Hold down the Cmd - Shift - opt immediately after cold start Photoshop.  If you get the keys to the low enough - quickly and you have to be VERY fast - it prompts you to confirm the removal of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being the default value.

  • Why large images will not open in full screen on first click?

    I'll open an image (jpg, png) that has a size in bytes of 2000 x 3096. What ends up happening, is that it is initially open a window full screen, and after a second or two, this window full screen will be reduced to a window screen. Now, I have to click on the maximum window size button in the upper right to expand the window to full size, click with the right button on the image, select Image seen on the menu drop down and then finally click on the image so that it can display in its original size.

    Y at - it a plug-in or a config. setting I can use, so that the image opens in the mode full screen from the beginning?

    Is it with a link to the opening image of a web page or to view pictures that you have already stored on the computer?

  • Why Firefox 14 will not open a link in an e-mail to open Firefox browser, sandbox?

    I was using Firefox 13 and also of Sandboxie. I kept a sandbox Firefox browser open all the time. If I clicked on a link in an email, the link is opened in the browser Firefox open, sandbox. I've updated for Firefox 14. I could no longer click on a link in an email and open the web page in the Firefox browser sandboxed to sand. Instead, she ignored the browser sandboxed and opens a normal browser. It defeats the purpose of the simple safety measure that I used. Is it possible to make a link clicked in an open e-mail message in a browser Firefox 14 sandbox, rather that ignore him and open the link in a normal Firefox browser, non-sandbox? In the meantime, I uninstalled Firefox 14 and reinstalled Firefox 13 and I can once again open a link in an email directly in a browser of Firefox open, sandbox, v. 13.

    You run a regular version of Firefox in Sandboxie or a portable version of Firefox?
