Photoshop CS5 opens and says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"

Hey guys.. I hit this problem tonight after trying for several hours to open Adobe PS CS5.

Photoshop worked earlier today and i have made no changes on my PC since running PS again.

I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64bit

I have tried Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File with no success.

I have rebooted my computer several times.

I have ran as administrator.

As far as I can tell it has something to do with KERNELBASE.dll 

You guys are my last chance.. THANK !

Correct answer Chris Cox

You're running Photoshop 12.0.0 -- you never installed any of the updates.

Go install the updates now.

And kernelbase crashes are usually due to drivers: scanners, video card, camera, printer, etc.

And I'm curious why Photoshop is under "Hacking, mods, C++"?

More Info.

I am running three monitors and occasionally four. I've attempted opening the program with only one connected.

Here is some driver info.. I still can't pick out a problem..

I'm using a XFX Radeon HD 6950 if that helps.

I've been there and found no information helpful I've spent hours looking on google as said above.  I would like someone to analyze my specific problem and give me a dirrect answer.

January 3, 2012

The specific problem is the defaulting module KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17651 located at C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll

That can mean a lot of things as stated in the other thread.

You will just have to go through a process of elimination.  Suggest doing a web search for that problem and see what the solutions are.

Wish there was a simplier way, perhaps someone else has an idea or two.
