Is that a new computer you just purchased, or an old(er) computer that you wiped and installed Win7 yourself?
Either way, make sure you have all hardware device drivers up to date... from the hardware vendor sites, not from Windows Update
That includes motherboard drivers (should be a CD that came with the computer) and especially your graphics adapter by going direct to the vendor site for your brand and model (ATI or nVidia or ???)
After you deactivate and before you reinstall...

Brand new computer purchased. I just started a new job last week.
>make sure you have all hardware device drivers up to date
Everything is up to date. I did this last week when I was receiving another Adobe Photoshop error (different from this one)
> CS5 Clean Script
I will run this tonight when I leave work so I don't have to wait an hour today doing nothing. However, my question is... this is a new computer and new version of Adobe. I really haven't done much in the last 7 days. I don't want to have to wipe the Adobe suite once a week. Why would I be getting this issue? Is there a better work around?

Curt Y Jun 27, 2011 9:48 AM (in response to TimothyWhalin)Can someone tell me what CS5.1 is? Two posters are having problems in Bridge with that version.
I thought CS5 went to CS5.5, but I see CS5.1 referenced in Google search.

TimothyWhalin Jun 27, 2011 10:09 AM (in response to Curt Y)I may be wrong, but I think..... The CS5.5 suite only has some of the programs as CS5.5 and the rest are pretty much the same. Photoshop CS5.1 supports subscriptions:

7. Re: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Chris Cox Jun 27, 2011 10:36 AM (in response to TimothyWhalin)OK, three wild guesses: video card driver, printer driver, or third party plugin.
1) Try disabling OpenGL drawing in preferences then restarting Photoshop.
2) Try setting a different default printer, then restarting Photoshop.
3) Try disabling all third party plugins (change the folder name to start with ~), then restarting Photoshop.

Curt Y Jun 27, 2011 10:37 AM (in response to TimothyWhalin)Yes your post refers to CS5.5 but no mention of CS5.1. You state you have CS5.1, and also the verson 2 users have some problems with in both Windows and Mac.

Photoshop CS5.1 (12.1) is what's shipping today when you buy Photoshop CS5 or a CS5.5 suite.It's functionally exactly equivalent to Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) except that it also offers the opportunity to license it via a subscription (e.g., by the month).

13. Re: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Noel Carboni Jun 28, 2011 10:46 AM (in response to TimothyWhalin)Regarding your original problem: Are you seeing the "program error" message only when opening certain files, or on all files you open?
If the former, it's entirely possible you have a corrupted file, and you should seek out a PSD repair tool. You may have to redo that work.
It's important that with a new system you put some effort to getting to the bottom of WHY the file was corrupted though. You certainly don't want this happening again and again. I have certainly never seen this kind of problem, having used Photoshop CS5 since the month it was first released, and it's not common.
Check your Windows event logs for errors.

TimothyWhalin Jun 28, 2011 11:45 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Where would I look in the events log? I looked in there, but didn't see anything. I've been using Photoshop CS5 since it came out too and haven't had any of these problems. Any recommendations on a PSD repair tool?

15. Re: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Wetneon Sep 6, 2011 10:54 AM (in response to TimothyWhalin)I am having this same problem. What I found causes the problem is when Photoshop is working in the background to open or save a file and you make a mouse click anywhere in the Photoshop environment while it is working it cuases it to stop and give this error. Try not clicking while it is working and it should open the file if you're having the same problem as me. But it is very annoying and I'm actually here to try to find a solution to the problem since now it's gotten so bad that I can't click away after adding text without getting the error.

16. Re: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Noel Carboni Sep 6, 2011 11:16 AM (in response to Wetneon)That's not expected behavior. Something's wrong on your particular system. Likely something you have installed is somehow causing corruption, or possibly it could be a driver fault.
I just tested it - I can click any number of times on anything during an open or save and no errors occur. It just goes "ding". No errors.

18. Re: Could not complete your request because of a program error.
Noel Carboni Sep 6, 2011 11:49 AM (in response to Wetneon)Can you describe, in great detail, how you can reproduce the problem. Exactly what you're saving, where you're clicking, etc. That way I can be sure I tried to reproduce what you're seeing properly - though to be honest if it was just a matter of clicking somewhere I'm sure I would have seen it - and I have NEVER seen the error described.
As far as what you can do to fix it... Update everything (Adobe, Microsoft, drivers) to the latest patch levels, then review what you have installed and running in your system. I'd suggest using a tool such as AutoRuns to see what's starting when your system comes up, disabling that which you don't need, and experimenting methodically with disabling/enabling the rest until you find the culprit.
