Photoshop Crashes When Opening Images

Hi all,

I just installed Photoshop CS5. The program loads fine but when I try to open an image to edit it just crashes. I’ve tried all kinds of image formats and all of them cause Photoshop to crash. I get a message saying “Photoshop CS5 Has Stopped Working” and the only option is to close the application (I have attached the image). I’m running Windows 7 64-bit, I have installed the patch and updated my GPU driver. My computer far exceeds the minimum requirements for Photoshop. Could someone help me?

Thanks in advance!

    That is a Nvidia Dll. You did go to the Nvidia site and downloaded from there, correct?

    Best bet is to re-download the driver again.

    Go to this website and download the free driver sweeper for Nvidia. Install it on your computer

    Remove the Nvidia Drivers and reboot in the safe mode.

    Run the driver sweeper in the safe mode then reboot in the normal mode

    Re-install the nvidia drivers and reboot.

    See if that fixes the problem.
