Prevx3 conflicting with Photoshop initialisation

When I try to open photoshop CS5, program initializes but when almost complete, the screen freezes. Have to reboot. Tried selective startup unchecking all but this still didn't help. Then uninstalled previx. Photoshop started fine. Installed prevx again and same issue with screen freezing.
Can someone help with this.

Thanks

 

Can you please send a scan log to Prevx to help you get this sorted here are the instructions: https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=1662381&postcount=1

Since the post was so early in the morning, I too am having this problem and can confirm uninstalling Prevx 3.0 does the trick. I can upload the .txt you are looking for.

 

Can you please also send a scan log to Prevx with a link to this thread?

TIA,

TH

Hi, it's not a good idea to upload your Logs here, as they could contain personal info. I would remove it, or a Mod could for you

 

Done and Done. Thank-you.

 

I have emailed the scan text file.

thanks, Jenni

 

Great please let us know how things go!

Not that I want to highjack this thread but...

I have tried 2 methods so far recommended by the support team and it seems that both methods still don't work.

Don't know what OS you are running Jen, but mine is XP Pro 32bitSp3(all up-to-date).

Must be hell for programmers now-a-days that M$ is supporting 3 different Os's and by the time XP expires, there will be 4. *NoOOOooOoooOOoO*

I just purchased Prevx3 August 30th, has there been a update or patch I do not know about? See if I can find my answer on the forums.

Thanks.

Just FYI, I got an e-mail this morning on a beta release for prevx, so I went a head and installed it . So I did a scan rebooted and the next thing you know BAM. I spent the rest of the morning Re installing windows. Dam PC wouldn't even load to desktop after the beta installation

I think I will just stick to using Malewarebytes till something stable comes along. My surfing habits are not that bad --- and if I get a bug/Virus I will install Prevx back on.

I remember a couple of years ago I used Prevx 2.0 and it was solid, never had a hiccup for the years of service. Why does Prevx 3.0 suck so bad? I mean blocking normal programs from running.

I Imagine it works quite well removing virus's but come on, at the end before I reformatted, it was blocking my Game BFBC2. My son and Wife's PC's were having problems too - running the free version so I had to unistall Prevx off of their machines too!!! *UUURRRRRRUGGGGG*

Life goes on, can I download a older version somewhere's and use that instead?

Thanks,

Soul.

 

Re: !!

Unfortunately I suspect we didn't clarify the email well enough - the test release was an alpha release, far below a beta release, and was intended exclusively for testing purposes. We've since corrected the issues you've experienced so if you try the same URL again, you should be able to use it without a problem.

The issues with a few games and some Adobe applications occurred from the new build .199 due to added protection but we've since modified this protection. If anyone else is experiencing these problems, please let us know and we will send you details to download fixed versions

 

I don't have issues with Prevx and Photoshop CS5.

Could it be some third-party conflict?

 

As far as I'm aware, the issues we've seen only happen when using newer versions of Photoshop on Windows XP (or some games on XP which have strict, kernel-side copy-protection enabled).

I haven't seen any complaints on 7/2008/Vista/2003/2000 so it does indeed appear to be limited to XP with the few applications which use this style of protection.

 

Issue has been resolved. Thanks for the help, Prevx version .205 seems to have resolved the issues.

 

Good to here!

after a number of days that have passed I had to do a system restore on my machine it was simply not booting up properly. XP (pro) seems to be buggy with the prevx software. (fresh XP Pro install too)

I have upgraded to WIndows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Now all I need is my key to be deactivated and will just use the regular prevx from the download page from now on.
