Photoshop CS3 in Vista - "Could not complete your request because of a program error"

Inofficial Vista Support by Coldfusion.

Now HTF would one discover something like that

Similiar error msg occured to other ppls after some googling. ..but scenario is different...so...logically..a common issue will incur this err msg...

so..solution may be the same. so i try lor.

it works. WTF

I had to register to say thanks for posting this resolution.

This works for XP as well.

I kept getting the Could not complete your request because of a program error . On all of my psd's that had any text in them.

I did all of the other 'fixes' listed in Google and nothing else worked.

Thanks again.

Thanks so much MR ColdFusion.

I've been trying to solve this problem for AGES AND AGES.
You're a genius.

I registered just to thank you!!

I ALSO registered for the sole purpose of thanking you for this post. I have been pulling my hair out for almost a year now trying to figure out how to get my Photoshops working again! I have photoshop 7, cs2, and cs3 and none of them have worked in forever. CHEERS

i registered here too just to say that this is what FINALLY fixed mine. i tried repairing, uninstall/reinstall, reset preferences, basically everything else google searches came up with.

then a week later i find this one, and for some stupid ass reason THIS was the fix. i second the wtf does a virtual printer have to do with psd's?!?!?

the problem would happen for me on -any- file i tried to open with ps. if i did a brand new blank psd (just file, new, ok), saved it, closed ps, then tried to open it i would get the error. there's no reason a stupid virtual printer should have any effect on a blank doc. oh well, i'm fixed now!

just gotta reinstall all my plugins and recreate the actions i forgot to save


thank you, thank you, thank you!

No way!! :S!! It FKN worked!! :S

I registered to say thanks too!! it's just that... gosh, it really helped your post!! Thanks a lot!! we all should redistribute this information in other forums or to Adobe itself to help everyone who has this same issue


Thanks a lot again!

Over a year later and this post still helped! Thanks so much, I too registered especially to give my thanks.

...marcy...

Wow, seems like there are a LOT of ppl running into this error message. I, along with several others here, joined JUST to say "COLDFUSION: THANK YOU!!!" for posting the 'fix' for the problem. Now maybe I can spend less time in google and more where I'm supposed to be, in CS3 PS!

THANKS COLDFUSION!!!

Thank you thank you thank you very much!!!

Frankly speaking.... I'll probably tear down the whole mobo and start looking for dust mites then even related the damn message with printers. PFFT!!

"Could not complete your request because of a program error"

With windows XP, you go in your printers and setup any PDF printer as default, and, it works.

WTF

This man is a genius and I registered to show gratitude.

He probably works for adobe or miscrosoft.
