Guest skibby Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 what, pray tell, do you use photoshop for?there are numerous alternatives.also, if you are getting BSOD, it is invariably a disk or memory corruption IMO. no version of PS or most commercially released software of that caliber, causes BSOD. if your installation of PS got corrupted, it can only be from fuq'd sectors IMO. get some admin privileges is your new homework assignment btw.

eugene Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 did you try the normal version after installing the trial ? it could have replaced some important system files that were replaced by that old autocad install Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80038-bsod-every-time-i-open-photoshop/page/2/#findComment-2048748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltoi Posted August 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) yeah it crashed again. i un/reinstalled and now it just hangs forever on the initializing process, maybe cos there's now also the trial version on here. so i've removed it for good and told my boss we need a Win7 compatible version... we can get by with Elements11.0 so it's only like £60. funny thing is it ran on my PC for 2 years before i tried to install that old CAD program and runs on 2 identical machines happily alongside the same old CAD program. thanks for all the help!

peace 7 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Things that come to mind: --startup PS holding down control+shift+alt, which erases prefs, etc., and creates new ones (corrupt prefs can fuck shit up) --In PS preferences, try changing memory allocation sizes as well as maybe using external scratch disk --use gimp, if you're just doing simple stuffs. Gimp is pretty hardcore actually, so you can do a lot.
