CS Stopped Working

Hi,

Photoshop CS has stopped working. When it’s loading it comes up with the message:-

"Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is unrecoverable." I then have to quit the program.
I’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing, but its no different.
I’ve installed PPS7 again and this works fine, but I’d rather have CS.
If anyone can tell me why this is happening and how to fix it I’d be ever so grateful.

TIA,

Derek.

This Derek, is what makes Norton Ghost very special.
‘unrecocoverable’ makes it sound is if the way to go
would be (if PS is as important to you as it is to me:-) formatting of your harddrive en reinstalling.

I really hope someone else has got another answer
for you, but this is the way I would have went.

(What I said about Norton Ghost, for in case
you do not know it, formatting and reinstalling
an image would have taken you 3 minutes – by
way of speach)

What OS are you using? Did you try trashing the prefs file? —

Try trashing the preferences, but that sounds like a memory problem.
I.e. hardware error. If trashing the preferences doesn’t work, heck
that your memory is OK.

Ghost is incredibly clunky and unfriendly. A far better solution is Acronis TrueImage (www.acronis.com).

Agreed! True Image is simple fast and reliable.
Ghost never worked for me. Does it still requires floppies?

Did a quick search in Google
In one place the problem was solved removing a rotten font, did you just add one?
Otherwise this page has some ideas also

Thanks for the tip Hecate, Norton Ghost doesn’t seem to use my DVD Burner’s speed capabilities. It took 49 mins odd to create a backup image of only 7.5Gb. (Pioneer 16X dual layer burner). Is that usual for Ghost, and is Acronis any faster?

Hi again,

Many thanks to everyone who took the trouble to reply. I’ll be trying what you suggest as soon as I get a moment.

I am not sure Acronis is faster but you can keep on working on your machine while it creates the image.
True Image is neat but have to admit in some cases I had error messages when cloning from a DVD.
I now use only hard drives and all is good

Hello yet again,

I’ve sorted it with your help! Trashing the Preferences file as suggested by edjh fixed it – as simple as that. I’d never have thought of it without your input.

Many thanks,

Derek.

Speed depends entirely on content o0fyour HDD. However, you can work whilst your machine is being cloned with Acronis which you can’t do with the Ghost or Drive Image (Which is now owned by Symantec as well and no doubt either it or Ghost will soon die a unnatural death).

That speed does sound slow though. My last image of 36Gb took approx 40 mins using Acronis True Image

You are a bit out of date Hecate. PQ DI 7 and its variants, as well as Ghost 9 (actually PQ V2i Protector Desktop) can image from Windows. Using Ghost 9 I imaged 3157 MB in 94 seconds which is 34 MB/sec. Your rate was 15 MB/sec so Ghost isn’t slow. I cheated a little by using No Compression, so my speed with compression could be similar to yours.

I like Acronis TI as well as Ghost 9 and am happy using either.

Hecate, I tend to think ‘Ghost’ is The Real One.
Why? Because Ghost is the uncle on the corner
who offered help when I needed it. He does not
always smile, but has always got a helping hand.
I know there’s more neighbours, but hasn’t asked
them for help yet.
So, I only know uncle Symantec, and therefor
see him as friendly enough. I’ll stop there again,
even if it is out of habbit (or to say ‘thank you!’ 🙂

Ah, so they’ve finally managed to catch up with Acronis which has been doing that for at last the last 3 versions. Still, I don’t trust anything produced by Symantec and that includes both DI and Ghost 🙂

An advantage of Acronis TI is the last few builds contain SATA drivers on the bootable CD. You still need a floppy with Ghost to load the SATA drivers and it takes "ages" before Ghost is ready for the Restore process.

The latest version of Acronis Disk Director Suite 9 doesn’t work with SATA drives either or at least I can’t get it to work.

Never used it. I only use TI. I had to go to the Acronis site just to see what you were talking about 🙂

The "Partition Recovery Expert" component of this suite got me out of trouble once when I inadvertently (stupidly) deleted all 4 partitions from the second HD of an old computer. Partition Recovery Expert restored all partitions when Partition Magic couldn’t.

Ah, right. It does sound good. People who’ve used other Acronis products have told me that they are generally ahead of the comp3etition, which was why I ought TI. I tried out both Ghost and DI and neither were very good compared to TI.
