Since installing the photoshop upgrade to V 22.0, I am no longer able to use the program.  I get a program error with any action I take.  Please issue an corrected upgrade or tell me how to go back to the previous version.

Has anyone heard when this issue is going to be corrected?  I have had to roll back to the V 21.2.4

Hello, there are often this kind of problems when you let the update with preferences of the older version. 

The first thing to try is reset preferences like said in the user guide : https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html

Using a keyboard shortcut

  • Quit Photoshop.
  • Hold down the following keyboard shorcut and launch Photoshop:

macOS

  • command + option + shift

Windows

  • ctrl + alt + shift
  • Open Photoshop.
  • Click Yes in the dialog that asks "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

Thanks very much for the input.  I followed all the instructions from Adobe -

 

Uncheck use of video card memory

Delete preferrences 

Re-install Photoshop

Finally, I rolled back to V21.2.4

 

Rolling back solved the issues with V22

Adobe has stated that their engineers are looking at why this version is having these problems.

It sound like the issue is the age of my video card (more than a few years old)

Adobe's response has been swap to a newer video card to see if that helps -- not a very good answer!

 

Thanks again for the input.

To uninstall a version of Photoshop, or install an earlier version, open the Creative Cloud desktop app. Got to the All Apps section, click on the three dot menu at the right of Photoshop". You can select Uninstall, or install an earlier version via "Other versions".

Hi there, 

Sorry to hear about the program error. Could you please try deselecting "Use Graphics Processor" located in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance, then relaunch Photoshop and let us know if it helps?

Regards,
Sahil

I would if I could. Any action I take after launching crashes the app, including opening preferences and trying to disable the graphic processor. I think the best experience I've sustained before a crash today involved three clicks of interaction. In most cases, the first click results in an instant crash.
