Question
i have adobe photoshop 7. it keeps saying adobe photoshop has stopped working. a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. this comes up everytime I clcik on adobe.

Answer
1. update both adobe and quicktime files
2. check your fonts to make sure you don't have any bad ones - you can use your font book, or go into an office program. If it can't open office because of fonts acting up, it will tell you which ones and you can go and delete them.
3. if those don't work, it's because the number your registered with has expired - I don't know why, but I did encounter this problem when I had 7, and that was sadly the ultimate cause. If you've got a legal copy, just reinstall it. You might need to call it in to register the number, but you shouldn't have to.
4. is this a pirated copy - nothing you can do.


In the long though, if you really use this program, you REALLY need to get at least CS1. As much as I love 7, it's becoming obsolete.
