What are PhotoshopServer.exe Error Messages?

PhotoshopServer.exe Runtime Errors

Runtime errors are Adobe Captivate errors that occur during "runtime". Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these EXE errors are triggered when PhotoshopServer.exe is attempted to be loaded either when Adobe Captivate is starting up, or in some cases already running. Runtime errors are the most common form of EXE error you will encounter using Adobe Captivate.

In most cases, PhotoshopServer.exe runtime errors occurring while the program is running will result in the program terminating abnormally. Most of these PhotoshopServer.exe error messages mean that Adobe Captivate was either unable to locate this file on startup, or the file is corrupt, resulting in a prematurely-aborted startup process. Generally, Adobe Captivate will be unable to start without resolving these errors.

Some of the most common PhotoshopServer.exe errors include:

PhotoshopServer.exe - Bad Image.
PhotoshopServer.exe Application Error.
PhotoshopServer.exe could not be found.
PhotoshopServer.exe could not be installed.
PhotoshopServer.exe could not be launched. Class not registered.
PhotoshopServer.exe could not be started.
PhotoshopServer.exe failed to initialize properly.
PhotoshopServer.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
PhotoshopServer.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
PhotoshopServer.exe is not running.
Cannot find PhotoshopServer.exe.
Error starting program: PhotoshopServer.exe.
Faulting Application Path: PhotoshopServer.exe.
The file PhotoshopServer.exe is missing or corrupt.
Windows failed to start - PhotoshopServer.exe.

System Error

The program can’t start because PhotoshopServer.exe is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

Finding the source of the PhotoshopServer.exe error is key to properly resolving these errors. Although most of these EXE errors affecting PhotoshopServer.exe will happen during startup, occasionally you will encounter a runtime error while using Adobe Media Core CS6. This can occur due to poor programming on behalf of Adobe Systems, Incorporated, conflicts with other software or 3rd-party plug-ins, or caused by damaged and outdated hardware. Also, these types of PhotoshopServer.exe errors can occur if it has been accidentally moved, deleted, or corrupted by a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.

How to Fix PhotoshopServer.exe Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your PhotoshopServer.exe issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.

Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click System Restore.
Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the PhotoshopServer.exe error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Adobe Captivate (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Adobe Captivate software.

You can uninstall Adobe Captivate software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Uninstall" and press "ENTER".
In the search results, find and click "Add or Remove Programs"
Find the entry for Adobe Captivate 2017 Release and click "Uninstall"
Follow the prompts for uninstallation.

After the software has been fully uninstalled, restart your PC and reinstall Adobe Captivate software.

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many PhotoshopServer.exe error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

Hit the Windows Start button
In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the PhotoshopServer.exe error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.

If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your PhotoshopServer.exe File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate PhotoshopServer.exe file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free PhotoshopServer.exe files for every applicable version of Adobe Captivate. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download PhotoshopServer.exe Files".
Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
Copy this file to the appropriate Adobe Captivate folder location:

Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements 2020 Organizer\
Windows 10: C:\adobeTemp\ETRDFFE.tmp\1\universal\App\
Windows 10: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CS6\
Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.

GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve PhotoshopServer.exe problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.

Download PhotoshopServer.exe Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)

CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying PhotoshopServer.exe to your appropriate Windows system directory. Adobe Systems Incorporated typically does not release Adobe Captivate EXE files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing PhotoshopServer.exe and all other EXE files for Adobe Captivate. An incorrectly installed EXE file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
