Ok... this sounds really stupid but i cant open my photoshop... i clicked on the icon and it loads yada yada yada then once it stops loading, it 'disapears' y cant i open it? maybe i did something wrong or does this just happen sometimes?

iono that never happened to me .. if you dont fix it maybe you should uninstall and re-install it

That happened to me once. I was trying to get it from my old computer to my laptop. If you make any copies of Photoshop it doesn't work, etc. Basically if you pirate it from another copy, etc, it won't work.

umm ok... i didnt make copies but i did reinstall it, uninstall it, reinstall it, and it stilll wont work

Open it from another place.. if you know what i mean..
like.. maybe you're opening it from one place (like start>>adobe>>adobe photoshop) try opening it from.. like open its file from files instead of the start place.
Happened to me few times..

maybe ur computer has viruses or it doesn't have enough space?

nope didnt work open in star menu, didnt work opend in desktop didnt work, opened in another user account (lol) didnt work

Clear out some uneeded files on your comp.
Your Photoshop may not have enough memory space to even start. -shrug- Not that I can talk... I eat up all my memory wth music files.

lol i dont even download music *gets back to the subject* ok maybe i should scan it hehe i did miss a week of scanning gonna go scan now *gets tools* lol

Maybe your scan disks are full.

question: what is a scan disc? does it have to do anything with brushes since i just put on a LOT of brushes yesterday and how do u clear the scan discs?

Scan disks is when you have TOO much stuff on your computer. Which means you either need to delete some of your files or you need to clean your WHOLE computer. Scan disks can also be full when you have TOO many photoshop windows open.

Scan disks are full when your Photoshop is using too much memory. It can't be that because her Photoshop doesn't even open and at default, the preference is a reasonable amount of space for the scan disk.
Are you sure you're clicking on the application? The one that ends with a .exe? Sorry, I know it's a stupid question.

i cleaned everything and deleted all the viruses, yet it still wont work! ugh what do do.. what to do...

Did you try downloading it from a different site?

Reformat your computer.
This is on the assumption that you got Photoshop legally.... You would install it again trough the disk.

*hits head on table* i didnt download it from a site im using my cousins photoshop disk and u sure reformatting it will work? wut does assumption mean? i have a low vocabulary...

I figured as much. Your Photoshop won't open because the activation code for the disk has already been used. I believe that you can't use the disk more than once....

^ definition of 'assumption'.

really? aww... i used it on this computer twice and it worked i might as well use the one that does work on the laptop.... this can be closed now...

Did you install any other programs after you used the photoshop two times?

Your computer probably can't take it..

what do u mean? i saved all my brushes on a disk and i deleted all the files from adobe and reinstalled it... but i did download iconart...

wait u guys were talking about scan disks and all that... do u get this message when u do that? clickie j/w...

Whoa! I've never seen that message before. What's "Scratch Windows"?

well, thats my question lol it said something about a volume or something... i havent changed anything to the computer lately excepr for download like a program or delete one...

I used to get that message. But what happened was that Photoshop still opened, I just got that message whenever I opened. Then I just set the preferences to default. The Scratch Disk has to do with the amount of memory that Photoshop can use while it is open.

Maybe you didn't uninstall it completely.

hmm... maybe my photoshop is different? iunno wut version r u using? i did uninstall it completely no photoshop 7 folder found in da computer... well before i reinstalled it... urs opened mona? hmm weird i deleted every brush and all the extra things i didnt need but it still wouldt work...

You know my name.

It doesn't matter how much stuff you delete. When you open a program, it takes up a certain amount of memory while your computer is still on, but with Photoshop, it always changes. What did at first was uninstalling it and removing every single file relating to Photoshop (not the images, but in the Program Folder). Then I installed it again.

Yep! i know ur name! i know everyones name! mwhahaha! well no, i just read... lol... well i did uninstall it and remove all of photoshop but it still didnt work... if i tell my dad it doesent work he is gonna get like so mad since he thinks i do EVERYTHING to the computer... viruses, programs not working, yaday yada yada well i did delete everything... i just dont no y it wont open... i never have tons of programs open now and my computer doesent have very low memory... i think...?

It might be conflicting with something... possibly from all the reinstallations. I'm good at computers... and that message even confused me.

im surprised people r still looking at this well it works now haha...
