Photoshop CS5 opens and says "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working"

[BrandonY0UR]

Hey guys.. I hit this problem tonight after trying for several hours to open Adobe PS CS5.

Photoshop worked earlier today and i have made no changes on my PC since running PS again.

I am running Windows 7 Service Pack 1 64bit

I have tried Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ALT to delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings File with no success.

I have rebooted my computer several times.

I have ran as administrator.

As far as I can tell it has something to do with KERNELBASE.dll 

You guys are my last chance.. THANK !

Rather than repeating answers look at this link with the same problem.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/943863?tstart=0

I've been there and found no information helpful I've spent hours looking on google as said above.  I would like someone to analyze my specific problem and give me a dirrect answer.

[Guest]

The specific problem is the defaulting module KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17651 located at C:\Windows\syswow64\KERNELBASE.dll

That can mean a lot of things as stated in the other thread.

You will just have to go through a process of elimination.  Suggest doing a web search for that problem and see what the solutions are.

Wish there was a simplier way, perhaps someone else has an idea or two.

More Info.

I am running three monitors and occasionally four. I've attempted opening the program with only one connected.

Here is some driver info.. I still can't pick out a problem..

I'm using a XFX Radeon HD 6950 if that helps.

Driver Packaging Version	Not Available
Provider	Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
2D Driver Version	8.01.01.1215
2D Driver File Path	Not Available

Catalyst Control Center Version	2011.1109.2212.39826

You're running Photoshop 12.0.0 -- you never installed any of the updates.

Go install the updates now.

And kernelbase crashes are usually due to drivers: scanners, video card, camera, printer, etc.

And I'm curious why Photoshop is under "Hacking, mods, C++"?
