Photoshop :: CS3 Extended - Freezes
Aug 27, 2008
experiencing urecoverable crashes (Windows freezes, have to restart the pc) when performing various actions. It seems to be happening only when something is going on in/with the document window, or when any modifications are made to the opened image. Using menus and other interface elements doesnt seem to cause any problems. The crashes usually happen a few minutes after the software has loaded.
Specifications:
Intel Core2Duo 3,16GHz
2GB RAM
GF 8800GTS
WindowsXP SP2
All latest drivers

I'm having an issue with Photoshop CS5 Extended. Everything works fine upon start, but when I go into layer style to add effects there seems to be an issue. After making the changes, I'll press "Ok" and the layer style won't take. It stays on that screen. When I go to press "OK" again I get a windows sound as if the okay or any place in the screen can not be clicked (the sound that happens when there is an open window ontop of another window).I am using Windows 7.

Recently Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes when I launch it on my Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. The splash screen appears but then it just stops working (usually on initializing Tools).
I have read several things so far. To fix it I tried:
- disabling the TWAIN plugin
- resetting all tools
- deleting the Photoshop preferences file.
- deleting my printer from the control panel (some others said printer drivers could cause it)

Accessing metadata in Photoshop CS6 extended (file info) for any file, raw or .psd., causes application to freeze. I must force quit the application to continue. Application is running on OSX Lion.

Currently I am running PhotoShop extended CS5, 64bit. in which i have my fovorite plugins (Topaz, Nik and OneOne) running perfectly.
I have upgraded to Adobe Creative Cloud and installed PhotoShop extended CS6 using Adobe Application Manager as recommended. It didn't ask me if I wanted to upgrade or do a new install for PhotoShop. So now I CS6 running with no Plug-ins. I need my plugins! LOL.
I tried pointing to additional plugins in the CS6 preference to the CS5 plugin folder. Upon Launch it gave me a whole slew of error messages saying something cant load or launch C+ runtime error or what not. It does open up, but it only gives access to Nik and Topaz. OnOne doesn't show up under filters or extensions.
So, what are my options?
Just copy the plugins from CS5 to CS6?
I dont't want to reinstall all the plugins to CS6 if I don't have to as I've auto updated them over time to current versions online, so only have installation files for my original purchases.

I'm happy with the NX version, but if I want to upgrade to XT, how do I do it? I looked on the upgrade options for XT and upgrading from NX, is not there.

Photoshop CS3 freezes after making an adjustment layer using levels. A description of where the picture is located on the computer (usually only seen as a mouse over) appears and is also frozen.
I am unable to save the file and have to end the program and lose everything if it is not already saved. I have Windows XP with service Pack III. I do not have this problem with CS2. I would appreciate any ideas.

I installed PS CS6 and it immediately freezes after it opens up. I can not do anything... nothing works. I have to use task mgr to close it down. This is running on a refurbished Dell PC with a SSD Win7 & NVIDIA Video Card. What gives?

I'm having issues with the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS6. Immediately after attempting to open an existing file or create a new one, Photoshop completely freezes, with no error messages/dialogues, and I end up having to force close it from Windows Task Manager. This happens every single time. I had this same issue with the beta, and it continues into the full release. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing it multiple times to no avail.
I haven't had this issue with previous versions of Photoshop (CS 5 & 5.5), and the 32-bit version of CS6 runs fine. However, for obvious reasons, I would prefer to use the 64-bit version of the software to take full advantage of what my machine is capable of.I'm running this on a HP Envy 17 laptop, with an Intel Core i7 processor (1st-gen), an AMD Radeon HD 5850M graphics card, and 8GB of RAM.

I have a PC with windows 7. I have had photoshop on here for a year or so with no problems. I recently reformatted my PC and now for some reason when I open photoshop after it has finished installing, the grey window opens and just freezes. i've tried reinstalling 10 times and it does the same thing every time.

I'm experiencing frequent freezes on PS (CS6, 13.0 x64) when first using it each day. Rest of the time it seems to run very quick and beautifully. But most days I'm finding in the first five or ten minutes of using it, PS just stops. It then takes perhaps five minutes to do anything and if I have used the history brush or resized or anything while it was still fuctioning ok, then there is a frantic catch-up by PShop while it runs through all those unseen movements in one go.
Oddly, it won't allow any selections or painting or anything but it does seem to allow you to still look at pull-down menus (even though they don't respond if selected). So, an unusual type of freeze, not a total lock-out, just rendering it useless. Quitting (when it allows me to) seems to revive it and then I seem to be able to work ok.
Am on a new iMac with 3 TB Fusion drive - just wondering (worried) it is something to do with that perhaps? All my other CS apps working ok (I use Indesign constantly).

first here is my system:
Dell Precision 390
Intel Core 2 Duo
Photoshop CS3 10.0.1, Illustrator CS3 13.0.2 (CS3 Suite)
Windows XP
2 GB of RAM
Roughly 8 GB free HD space
Not sure on video card (how can i check?)
ok, here is my problem:
when i go to File->Open (or Ctrl+O), the Open dialog box opens momentarily (blink an you miss it) and then Photoshop and/or Illustrator freezes. the only way to close it is through Windows Task Manager->End Task.
there is no official error message, Photoshop/Illustrator just simply freezes.
however, and heres the kicker, when i open the files directly from the folder (Explorer) they open fine, i can work seamlessly, no problem. it only occurs when i open from the program itself. i do not know if the other suite programs (Flash, InDesign etc.) have the same problem as i dont use them much.

I recently installed Photoshop CS4 extended, and I'm having some problems with Preferences in the edit menu. When I attempt to go to either "performance" or "general" under preferences, it freezes, then I get an error report and it shuts down.
Everything else has been working fine so far, though, and it's a wonderful program. My computer is a little older, and is on xp.

All of a sudden whenever I try and save a jpeg image in photoshop, all of the menu items gray out, including the close X, so I can't exit the program or do anything. The file doesn't actually get saved. And I have to ctrl+alt+delete out of it.

I have a 500 GB HD, 2 GB RAM, under Windows XP Professional.
When I opened 2-3 images in Photoshop CS2, and worked on one, the open screen would suddenly appear again, and was impossible to get rid of without stopping the program.
So I entered Control Panel and "repaired" CS2 with the installation disk. Same trouble still occurred. In addition, now when I open the OPEN window, and try to browse, nothing comes up for >120 seconds.
I am out of business and have to use PSE6. Would I benefit from uninstalling and reinstalling CS2, or does this sound like a Windows XP issue? My computer seems OK otherwise, but is not a speed demon.

I have been able to successfully INSTALL Adobe Photoshop CS3: Extended multiple times, however I have yet to actually successfully RUN the application. After installation, when I try to open the program, a window appears with "Adobe Photoshop CS3" at the top and it is simply a large grey box with nothing inside of it. My mouse cursor turns into an hourglass and that's it... I left it there for an hour and a half once just to see what it would do and it simply continued in an endless loop of nothingness.
I have a custom-built computer with an AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition, 2x2GB of OCZ 1066mhz Reaper DDR2, a Gigabyte motherboard with the GX790 chipset (SB750 southbridge), and a 2x1 Terabyte RAID 1 array.
It's running in a brand spanking new Windows XP Professional installation with Service Pack 3.
I have tried the following:
1) Uninstalling and reinstalling (same result)
2) Uninstalling all Adobe programs, Running Adobe Clean Script at level 4, running Windows Install Cleanup to remove any remaining Adobe remnants, and reinstalled. (same result)
3) Doing everything in step 2 again, then copying the CD to my hard drive, and installing from my hard drive. (same result)
4) Doing everything in step 2 again, then making a new administrative user account and reinstalling (same result...)
The adobe tech support guys I encountered came up with some pretty crazy (and flat stupid) explanations for my problems.
One guy claimed that my Serial was for CS1 and that somehow I'd gotten a CS1 disk that just happened to come in a CS3 box, with a CS3 disk label, which just happens to say "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended" after you install it...

My adobe cs4 collection (photoshop, indesign, etc) freezes upon starting. I've got fresh system install - windows 7 (x64), new ssd drive - corsair force, new motherboard and cpu - intel i5, 16gb ram ddr3.
Every time i open psd or indesign document i have to wait about 15seconds before the popup screen opens and the software launches. Same with acrobat AND with Office 2010 (wtf?). On my previous setup it started faster. I've tried unlockin Win7 options for best SSD performance, and reinstalled the graphics driver (geforce gt 220). This is a cs3 + upgrade to cs4. Everything else seems to work smoothly, system starts up very fast and such.

I bought the Adobe CS5 master collection from a deal at my university. This error only started happening today, it was completely fine for the last few months up til yesterday, so it doesn't have anything to do with my specs probably.
Whenever I try to copy an image (ctrl + c), Photoshop would freeze. No error, no popup or anything, simply a freeze. The mouse cursor doesn't even turn into that loading icon, but nothing would be click able and any animations (like marquees) would stop.
Specs:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 12.1 (12.1x20110328 [20110328.r.145 2011/03/28:10:30:00 cutoff; r branch]) x64
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1
Intel i5
Also Photoshop CS5 has a lot of bugs when Flash CS5 is also open, causing a ton of crashes of either Flash or Photoshop. It's like these two programs don't like each other. I'm surprised this didn't go noticed during testing ?
