    On Windows, right-click Photoshop Icon and select Run as Administrator. 

     

    Hope that helps.

    Hey, @dabrodie. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I've moved your post to the Photoshop Discussions. I'll need more info to help you figure this out. What operating system are you working on?

     

    Did Photoshop close normally the last time it worked? Did you install any 3rd party plugins recently? You can press and hold the SHIFT key when launching Photoshop to skip loading any plugins and see how it goes. 


    Thanks!
