Siraj
Hello i have installled adobe photoshop7.0 the problem is when ever i opened photoshop it reads and closed come back to the window  suggest me what can i do.

Answer
Hi Siraj,

If Photoshop is opening then immediately closing after startup, is is normally one of three things is going on. Im going at this assuming you are running on a Windows Machine. If you have Vista installed, go immediately to #2 and ignore the rest.

1. You have a corrupted install and you need to do a clean uninstall and reinstall. This could be because of installing other apps after Photoshop.

2. Photoshop 7 is not compatible with your current operating system. Normally I see this when people are installing Windows updates. This would require an upgrade to a newer version of PS.

3. You have additional copies of Photoshop running in the same network with the same serial number and it is closing down because of this. If this is the case, you will need to shut down the other copies before opening or purchase another license.

Thanks

Kevin
