Photoshop issues

I have had photoshop on my computer for several years.  For quite sometime now,whenever I open the program and then close it, the only way to reopen the program is to shut down my computer then photoshop will reopen.  This happens every time I use it.   Any ideas, how to fix this??

I was also struggling with this issue while designing my logo. I even searched many articles and blogs featuring Logo design ideas, to solve this. But none of them could help me out. 

You are probably going to get help faster using the Photoshop community support:

There are a few reasons why your Adobe Photoshop may keep crashing. One reason could be that you have too many tabs or windows open, which is causing your computer to run slowly and Photoshop to crash. Another reason could be that you have an older version of Photoshop and need to update to the latest version.

Thank you for your input.  I do have an older version of Photoshop.  I will look into an update.  Thanks again!!

Another thing to check is the amount of memory you are running. If you are working on a really large project with other graphics programs open at the same time, make sure your memory amount is adequate. Photoshop does wierd things when not enough memory.

Thank you............

What version of Photoshop are you having problems with and what system is it running on? If you are on subscription you should just reinstall. 

If you have CS2 you may not be able to reinstall due to shut down of Adobe authentication servers.

Regarding old versions, I am currently running Photoshop CS2 on XP and Version 5 on Windows 10. No problems with these old versions. But that's my personal experience. Yours may be different.

Actually, CS2 was until very recently still available on Adobe's site, along with the authentication key. Yes, they shut down the authentication servers for this nearly 7 years ago.....but kept it available because there were still so many professionals using these older versions, for whom they were perfectly adequate for the tasks at hand.

I myself actually bought this thing more than 16 years ago. I still use it to this day, now running under WINE in Linux, alongside the G.I.M.P; I'm so used to both of them, I can switch back & forth mid-project, and just pick straight up from where I left off.
