As my title indicates, I just installed CS6 on my home computer and it will not open. Period. I just get the "encountered error" problem from MS and "send error report" window. Adobe Bridge CS6 does the same thing after opening for a few minutes.

HELP!

What is going on and how do I fix this?
 
Uninstall CS 6.

Clean your computer's registry. (save a copy of the deleted registry entries)

Run anti-virus and anti-malware software.

Re-install CS 6
 
Try googling the error given in the "send MS error message" window. There are way to many possible causes for anybody to be able to give you a good answer based on the information given.
 
Keith, if I knew how to clean the registry, I'd be a much better person. But that's beyond my technical expertise.
 
I tried using CCleaner 1x and jacked up my computer. Never again.
 
You have to watch out using "catch all" registry cleaners. Sometimes they will mark a registry key invalid and it won't be.

Registry cleaning should be done at least every 6 months. However, for the average user, you need to take your computer into an expert to have it done. Messing with the registry is serious business.
 
First off is your computer minum spec for cs6? Did you install from a disk or from a download, if it's a download it might havebeen corrupted during the download.

Windows is a paragon of rubustness and stability.

I use CCleaner daily, and have for about 3 years now.

I don't use it daily but I do every month or two, or more if I've been installing a lot of temporary software. So far I've never had it throw me a curve either, and will continue to use it.
 
I bought the software from B&H and installed from a disc. I will give Adobe a call and see if they can help. In the meantime, I've already been looking at getting a new box from Dell. I'm a PC guy.
