[removed] photoshop crashing - go back to older version

Try this: Open Photoshop. Go to EDIT - then PREFERENCES - thenPERFORMANCE.

Under "Graphics Processor Settings" Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor."

Seems to have worked for me.

Same thing here too. I have a fresh install on a new computer. I tried the most recent version of Photoshop and an older version from the Creative Cloud but after using it once, closing it, and opening it again I get the same error: "could not complete your request because of program error." It gives me the error when creating a new image and sometimes when I go to close the program. I have to go into task Manager to shut it down.

I've tried the usual fixes available on the web, such as deleting the preference folder, but it does not fix the problem. Customer suport isnt in today but I will try again tomarrow.

Edit: I seem to be experiencing Forum issues where posts appear on other threads … 

Make sure to back-up your presets then use »Other versions« (from the »More actions«-button, the one with the three dots on the right side) in the CC application to install the previous version if you want to roll back Photoshop. 

Moved to the Photoshop forum.

Why on earth did you uninstall the old one? That's asking for trouble. What is the version you want to go back to, exactly? It's no good just saying "workable", everyone has a different view of that, and different issues (or none).
