Photoshop :: Crash On Startup 'Scanning For Plugins'
Nov 29, 2008
In a moment of lax attention I've done something stupid to the Photoshop CS version (original 1) and told it to search C:/programfiles for plugins whereas I meant to tell it specifically where to look.
So now it crashes when it gets to the 'Scanning for Plugins' part and of course I can't alter it back to what it should be.
Now when I run Image Ready the plugins are still as normal...
System Restore doesn't change the settings. Uninstall of the Photoshop component doesn't put it right either.
(maybe uninstall/reinstall the entire CS suite - but I guess even then it will still have the bad settings)
So is it a registry thing and if so what needs to be done to stop it searching the entire hard drive programs for plugins.
Know it's old, but have been using Photoshop CS 8.0 on office Mac Pro and home iMac for years with no problems. OSX is 10.5.8 Leopard. Still works fine on Mac Pro, but has just started crashing at startup on iMac for no apparent reason. Graphic layout comes up and then shuts down. Reinstalled the application with same result.
It was working totally fine then WHAM! I noticed it first when i minimized it to the taskbar to look for some other files on my desktop. now it suddenly doesn't want to start. the 'only' thing is that the pc went into hibernation while i was at lunch a few times this week (can't see that having an effect)
I start it up and it crashes +/- after 8 seconds. EVERY time.
- Tried using the "run as admin" = didn't work (tried it just in case)
- tried changing a few settings in nvidia control panel = nada!
- once i got it open within the 8 seconds, I turned off openGL completly = nada!
- I've used the "DisallowOpenGLWindows_OFF.reg" just in case and that doesn't work either. (its a pretty recent GFX card)
all other cs4 apps (master suite) are working fine!
this exact same thing happened just before i reinstalled vista x64 about a month ago.
It crashes before it even finished loading. I haven't even gotten the program to work once. Yes, I uninstalled and reinstalled. I have no printer, and I'm using Vista 64.
This is what it says.

Just recently got X3 and look forward to using it. In setting up KPT filters work OK but the Magic bullet Looks fails to launch, or at least just opens a blank window and X3 passes the message "wrong parameters passed". I have de-installed and re-installed to no different effect. Running Win7-64.
I change my motherboard ans proc and memory yesterday, but i don't reinstall windows seven, and now i don't have time to reinstal windows now.Before change my motherboard, 3ds x64 worked good, and now he crash on startup with the report error on jpeg attachement.
3dsmax_minidump.dmp dmpuserinfo.xml dumpdata.zip (and it's written version 3ds max 13 - 64bits)
But 3ds max 2011 x32 works very good I need 3ds max 2011 x64 for use the plugins hair farm.
I already reinstall a several times 3ds x64 but nothing, et try to remove the three dmp, xml, and zip, and also put on Open GL
The company I work for has just switched to Max2012 but my machine has a problem with it. I get this error on startup and whenever I open and close the ribbon:
-- Unknown property: "validobjfunc" in #StructolyBoost(undefined:<data>;Public)
It throws open the max script editor window and a message prompt saying the above text. If I press OK, the message goes away. When I close the editor the message comes back and we have a loop!
To get around it I can press OK. Then run script and go to max root > stdplugs > stdscripts > PolyTools.ms
I looked around and saw people had this error on previous versions of max and the fix was to place a copy of polytools.ms in the startup folder. I tried this and polytools.ms crashes instead on startup. To me from the error given it looks like the ribbon isn't loading a script somewhere that it should do. Placing it in the startup folder makes sense as a temporary fix but in this case it doesn't work. I can run the script after every time max has loaded but this is inconvenient and means I can't do any batch operations which I do quite often.
My PC specs are Win XP x64 SP2, Xeon W3550, 12gb ram, quaddro 3800 and dual screen monitors, I also use a Wacom tablet.
The problem happens in both x64 and x86 installations of 3ds max. We have reinstalled 3ds max countless times. My colleagues have identical computers, hardware wise, haven't had the same issues. We're using SP2 patched 3ds max 2012 too.
I changed the 'startup' value from 1 to 2 in ACA 2012, now program crashes. On start up it displays the first error message 3 times (see attached), then opens a blank drawing. Once a select a file it displays the second message 70 times then opens the drawing. After a few seconds a fatal error message is displayed and program closes.
Error messages are the same other than address location changes.
I have tried a repair and a reinstall to no avail.
I recently gave my windows a factory restore (fresh start windows original copy), I had no issues with autodesk software before the windows fresh start (i use Revit and 3Dmax too), i even installed and used Autocad 2014 on my laptop before the restore and it ran just fine, problem is now after the windows restore Autocad crashes everytime i open it, installation was smooth and succesfull with no error warninings whatsoever; the problem comes when i start Autocad 2014 for the first time, the initialization window opens and starts loading the files but then (everytime) crashes and freezes my laptop forever, not even the task manager is posible to open
after the restore i downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics card, so that shouldnt be the issue, i also switched the processing tu GPU only.
i already tried lots of solutions i saw on other posts, but none seems to suit my need, i tried the .NET framework thing, switching off the windows Aero theme, but the problem remains the same, it still freezes completely my laptop everytime i try to run Autocad 2014, i even tried installing Autocad 2013, Autocad 2011 and Revit 2014 but the issue is the same in all of them they freeze at startup without any pop up error warnings, just freezes.
I have PSP 15.2.0.12, win 7 64-bit machine with ample power and graphics card. Regularly run multiple CAD programs and so on.
When I double-click the desktop icon to launch the product it crashes - always. When I double-click an image in Windows Explorer, it launches OK and opens the file with the Edit tab active.
Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine.
I am aware of the 64 bit versus 32 bit issue. When I ugraded to Windows 7, 64 bit and CS 5.5, I did so because both Adobe and Microsoft indicated I would have to. In CS 5.5, the issue of the 32 bit versus 64 bit driver was not serious because--although Windows 64 bit had no trouble scanning and Photoshop 64bit did, I installed the Photoshop CS 5.5, 32 bit version, and it worked.
Today, CS5.5 disappeared, "Photoshop has ecnountered an error with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhnacements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancement can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences." Not really [it's not a driver problem], Photoshop won't stay on, it simply closes.
I am scanning with Adobe photoshop 7.0 using Vista WIA driver from Microsoft and Scanner is from Toshiba. I am using the Automatic document feeder with 3 pages but i am getting only one page(First page) in the photoshop Window.
With Twain driver it is working fine i am able to get all the three pages. is the Adobe photoshop is not supporting the ADF scanning with WIA?
I want to scan from within CS4 x64, like we used to in the old days! I appreciate that TWAIN is making way for WIA, however, I can't find a way to scan from within photoshop and NOT have to immediately save the scanned image. In want to just scan and open, and then make the decision to save (or not) later on.
I have cs6, I want to scan from the program, My all in one Lexmark is not recognized? I tried to get a plug in from Lexmark, they said they don't support cs6?
I've been using this product for a few years and only a few months ago I re-installed it on Windows 7 and a few days ago I closed it and it stopped working right when it says "Scanning for Plug-Ins". I haven't changed anything with the product. While I had it installed on the D-drive (The C and D got mixed up) it hadn't had a problem until a few days after continually hearing that the C: drive was full (leading to mass deletions of unused programs and files). Just today I had fixed the problem of the drives and the program had the same problem. I've tried the multiprocessor plug-in, uninstalling and reinstalling it, There are only a few oddities I can say happened during the reinstallation, it was unable to activate.

Is it possible to do a multipage scan in Photoshop 7 and to have all the scanned pages saved as one PDF file. At the moment I can only find a way that gives me the same number of files as I have scanned in.
The reason I am having to do this is because I am having a problem with the scanning facility in Acrobat 8.
I have an Epson Perfection 4180 scanner which has worked for years. I moved, plug everything back in, the scanner works one time, and from then on, I get this error: "Could not complete the Import command because of an error with acquisition module interface."
I've searched around, and seen others with this problem, but, no real solution. From what I've read, it's a Photoshop issue. I've downloaded the TWAIN drivers and re-installed the scanner, and deleted Photoshop's preferences file. The scanner does work through the Windows Scanner Wizard. I've turned off the Windows Image Acquisition thing in the control panel, and then turned it back on.
I have an Epson R200 printer and an Epson Perfection 1260 Scanner. Using Photoshop CS, how do I get a closest colour match between scanning an image, passing it through photoshop and printing it out on photo quality inkjet paper as close to the original as possible.
I'm scanning at 1400 dpi, what else do I need to do? I don't know anything about colour management or anything like that...
I use the default scanning software that cames with my epson scanner...I works fine no problems, I do all of my corrections in PS. But I was wondering if anybody uses any third party software that is particularly good?
I created this horror movie poster for my Media Studies work at college, and I felt quite proud of it so I thought I'd scan it on to my home computer to put on myspace or something, but I scanned it using MS Paint and the image size came up really large so is there a way I can scan the image to the size it's supposed to be on Photoshop?
There's no import option or from what I can see there isn't.
I just scanned a transparency in my EPSON 2450. It came out with some curves like a rainbow, I don't know how it is called. Is there any way to remove that without affecting the texture of the photograph? (these curves show over a piece of fabric and I really wanna keep the texture of the fabric).
Here is my hardware: Macbook pro 4 GB DDR3 core i5 with plenty of HD space Epson V700 scanner (6400 dpi scanning capability)
My Software: Adobe CS6 trial
What I want to do: Scan a typical photo that is 6 by 6 inches at 6400 dpi as a bitmap, for utmost quality
What I tried: File -> Import -> Images from device -> then selected my scanner, set it to scan at 6400 dpi and save as a bitmap
My problem: When the scanner head is done scanning and the progress bar for scanning the image completes and moves to the next step (presumably writing the image to the file), PS crashes and gives me an error log. It is far too detailed for me. I have no problem scanning images at lower resolutions like 1200 dpi. But this scanner is capable of 6400 dpi and I want to take full advantage of it. I cannot use the scanner software that came with teh scanner because tech support told me the scanner software has a 1.something GB file limit size. They told me 3rd party software like PS should be able to scan unlimited file sizes. I suspect the file size migh be too large (16 GB)
My question: Is this a bug in the trial or something? Should PS be able to scan a 6 by 6 inch photo at 6400 dpi and save it as a bitmap?
Any 1st thoughts? I imagine it would be useful to upload the error log. I can do that if it is ok to do so
I recently learned of what sounded like a wonderful Elements feature: Scan as many photos as you can fit on your scanner bed and Elements will divide the scan into individual photos. The key was to use the "Divide Scanned Photos" command on the Image menu. Sounds great, but that command is always grayed out. How come? And is there some way for me to make the command work?
I'm running PS CS3 on Vista Home Premium, 1.86Ghz Intel core 2 processor, and 4GB RAM. I realise Vista only sees 3.3GB of this RAM, and I know Vista uses about 1GB all the time.
Question:
While running PS, and only PS, with no files open, I have 2GB of RAM, why will PS not let me scan a file that it says will take up 300Mb?
200Mb is about the limit that it will let me scan, but even then, the actual end product ends up being less than 100Mb. (around 70mb in most cases)I'm using a Dell AIO A920, latest drivers etc, and PS is set to use all avaliable RAM.
Not only will it not let me scan, once a file I've opened has used up "x" amount of RAM, even if I then close that file, "x" amount of RAM will STILL be unavaliable. This means if I scan something, I have to save it, close PS, then open it again before I can scan anything else.
Surely this isn't normal. Or am I being stupid and missing something obvious?
I've also monitored the memory usage during scanning using task manager and various other things, it hardly goes up at all, then shoots up to 70-80% once the 70ishMb file is loaded. Something is up because if that were true, I'd actually only have 1Gb of RAM, and running Vista would be nearly impossible.
It's not a Vista thing either as I had this problem when I had XP. In fact it was worse then, I could hardly scan anything, had to be very low resolution.
