I get an error "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working" whenever I start a program.

What did Adobe support say when you contacted them or posted in their forums?

Hi davesphoto,

Method 1-

You need check if the issue persists in Safe Mode as well.
To log on to Safe Mode, you need to follow the steps from the article-

Start your computer in Safe Mode.

Note: Make sure you log back into Normal Mode after performing all the troubleshooting steps.

If the issue does not occur in Safe Mode, then proceed to Step 2.

Step 2-

I would recommend you to perform Clean Boot.
Putting your system in Clean Boot state helps in identifying if any third party applications or startup items are causing the issue. You need to follow the steps from the article-

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

Note: You need to follow Step 7 from the article to get the computer back to Normal Startup after performing all the troubleshooting steps.

Method 2-

Try logging into a different user account. Check if the issue persists over there. If yes, then refer the article-

Create a user account

Fix a corrupted user profile

Hope this helps!!

I am having problems with using Adobe Photoshop. Everytime I try to start the program I get an error message from windows stating "Adobe Photoshop has stopped working" then gives me the option to close the program. I've tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling and restoring my computer to an earlier date. What can I do now? I'm using Windows 7 home premium 32 bit. Please Help!
