Ten Commandments for C Programmers (Annotated Edition) (#2):
Thou shalt not follow the NULL pointer, for chaos and madness await thee at its end.
Clearly the holy scriptures were mis-transcribed here, as the words should have been “null pointer”, to minimize confusion between the concept of null pointers and the macro NULL (of which more anon). Otherwise, the meaning is plain. A null pointer points to regions filled with dragons, demons, core dumps, and numberless other foul creatures, all of which delight in frolicing in thy program if thou disturb their sleep. A null pointer doth not point to a 0 of any type, despite some blasphemous old code which impiously assumes this.
Chris: what should I do then?
Dave: huh? can you make that a little more clear?
If the application is corrupted, you need to reinstall.
If a driver is corrupted, you need to reinstall that driver.
But there is no easy way to figure out what is corrupted….
I lost the disk, what should i do? I’ve looked everywhere over my house, and i can’t find it. 🙁
call adobe. as long as you registered you can get a new copy (or upgrade if it’s a previous version).
oh. 5.02. you need to either find the disk or upgrade. and as you’ll need the serial # to upgrade, you need to do it through adobe customer service. As long as you registered, they’ll have your old serial # on file. if you didn’t register, you’ll need to either find the disk or buy the full version of photoshop CS.
Now i don’t think it’s just a photo shop error, other programs, have stopped working. Microsoft word 2000 and adobe photodeluxe home edition 3.1 have stopped working. I have the disk for both of those. I reinstalled it and they still don’t work. Please help :(.
Dave – first, look for any applications you’ve installed recently that might cause problems (like anything with the word Norton in it). And check for viruses.
Then, reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows and all applications.
