1. Re: PS (5.5) crashes when opening PS file, unless it's already open
Noel Carboni Jun 9, 2011 9:51 AM (in response to agentpuddles007)Several things external to Photoshop can cause crashes on open:
- Buggy display drivers.
- Poorly written 3rd party plug-ins (or those mismatched to your version of Photoshop).
- Corrupt or badly formed fonts.
- Bad default printer configuration.
There are probably more.
I suggest visiting the web site of the maker of your video card and downloading and installing the latest driver, then rebooting. Under some conditions you may have to go into Edit - Preferences - Performance and disable OpenGL Drawing (by unchecking the box). Remember to close and reopen Photoshop after any settings change before testing.
