Photoshop CS5 Trial Runtime Error

This error message typically indicates that there is a problem with the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library, which is a component that Photoshop and many other applications rely on to run properly. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

Update Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable

First, try updating your Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package. This package contains the components that many applications, including Photoshop, need to run correctly.

To update the package, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) download page.
2. Download the package and install it.
3. Reboot your computer.
4. Try launching Photoshop again.

If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.

Try running Photoshop in Compatibility Mode

Sometimes, older applications like Photoshop CS5 can have compatibility issues with newer versions of Windows. You can try running Photoshop in compatibility mode to see if it resolves the issue.

To run Photoshop in compatibility mode, follow these steps:

• Right-click on the Photoshop shortcut or .exe file and select "Properties."
• Click the "Compatibility" tab.
• Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows 7" from the drop-down menu.
• Click "Apply" and then "OK."
• Try launching Photoshop again.

If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.

Reinstall Photoshop

If the above steps don't resolve the issue, it's possible that the Photoshop installation is corrupted. In that case, you should try reinstalling Photoshop. To do so:

• Uninstall Photoshop completely.
• Restart your computer.
• Download a fresh copy of the Photoshop installer.
• Install Photoshop again.
• Try launching Photoshop again.

If the issue persists, there may be a deeper issue with your system. In that case, you may need to seek assistance from a technical expert. And, if you are facing java runtime errors you can read this error guide named [link removed by moderator]

I don't know if it will help but in my case :

I was working fine for days and today I had this problems (Runtime error c++ Microsoft visual... etc)

I searched for a while

I could reproduce the error (for me the error occured when I was moving a layer with glow on it)

anyway I was closing many program and then test the probleme by moving the layer (then photoshop crashes everytime)

but when I finally got to Jdownloader.exe (and java.exe or the name of java machine) I closed it

and photoshop did not do the error.

so in my case it was Jdownload and/or Java runtime.

so you should try to close any java program...

my computer spec :

MB: Gigabyte 870A

CPU : AMD Phenom II X6 1090T

RAM: G.Skill 16GB PC10600 Cas7

SSD and HDDs

GPU : Radeon 4650

I'm having this problem as well. Anyone else tried the above solution?

Update for all those people out there with the

Visual C++ runtime error caused by eithor Adobe or MS, I had the same issues and yes I am running a Q9400 quad core processor, I suggest you look at your motherboard bios and motherboard drivers. I downloaded the latest bios and when finished downloaded the latest INF chipset drivers for Windows.

Guess what no errors.

Good luck.

Had the same problem,

after a while using Photoshop 5 Trial, it started to show me the same error after starting.

Just used CCleaner, fixed all my registry errors, and now it runs again.

I purchased CS5 and installed it on my desktop and I'm unable to run any of the programs

; I'm getting runtime errors as well. I read somewhere that the previous version of CS3 causes the problem, but I've downloaded the cleaner and gone through my registry and can't find any reference to cs3, uninstalled and reinstalled cs5 and still can't run it.

I'm running WinXP sp3 on an intel duo processor (I think) with 4g of ram and more than 1tb hd. It would be nice if someone from Adobe would help resolve this problem.

The funny thing is : if the problem is really in the processor Intel 2Quad, i figured  out this  just reading the forums for  various CS5 programs.

I already had talked to Adobe staff  and even  had my computer manipulated remotely by them,but i got just silly questions and ridiculous answers.

It seems that they think that are dealing only with computer beginners.This is why i am inserting posts here , it was  a waste of time to talk with Adobe staff.

Until now ,nobody  asked me about the hardware in my computer.It seems that they are not looking for if we have something in common in order to get a solution  for a lot of  persons with the exactly same problem.

They keep asking if i had  updated drivers  for my video board ,updated windows,etc.For advanced computer users these things are TRIVIAL. Things that we perfectly know  that  we MUST    do anyway .

For what i had read in forums i think that most of the guys who put posts here are not beginners.

So ....PLEASE if someone  of Adobe staff is reading this post  i would suggest just really test the CS5 programs  in various platforms instead of wasting our time asking us for this or that.Adobe can  perfectly buy different computers with different processors.

I have spent too much time trying to get running CS5 programs .For me (and another guys) it takes many hours just re-installing OS and putting it to run  with all the programs that i use.

JUST RESPECT OUR TIME.THIS IS SERIOUS,NOT A JOKE.

Same thing here!!

Really hate it!!!!!

I can open the Photoshop CS5, but just after the main window shows up, an "Runtime error" message will pop up. Sooooo annoying.

Will Adobe fix it or not？This is not a single case!!!

XP SP3

4G Ram

1T

N-card

I have the some problem.

I've already formatted the C drive and installed XP again witouth any other software installation. Photoshop CS5 doesn't work, I only get this error message.

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

OR

Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program FilesVAdobeSAdobe Photoshop CS5\Photoshop.exe

Anyway I used many hundred of programs on this PC (including Photoshop CS4) without any problem. I have never got any error messages.
