Thanks for all the help. I've tried the process in the linked thread and it didn't work for me.
I've attached the Powershell results as a pdf as the txt file it generated was around 6 meg

My suggestion:
- Back up your data.
- If you have a OEM computer, do a Factory Recover or
- Do a clean install.
For the updates MS releases SP2 for Windows 7
I forgot to mention it: did you use Icacls or did you perform the changes through the GUI? I expected the changes be done through Explorer. The Icacls examples in this thread are meant for files, if you apply it to folders the permissions won’t propagate.
Don’t touch anything. I’ll post you the appropriate commands to fix everything after I get the permission info from you…
I see what happened. Didn’t take into account SF’s file size cap. A 1MB file is permitted for txt files.
I can’t work off a PDF. The data in the file is not meant for direct human interpretation.
Here, upload the file to my public FTP server. Enter the following URI into the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) address bar and drop the file in there.
Hopefully I don’t get too much spam. Please notify me immediately when you do this.Code:[Removed link]
Megahertz07, what are you expecting this to do? A clean install doesn’t alter any program files or their permissions, and I don’t think a factory install is appropriate.

TXT file is in your ftp thanks. I applied icalcs using CMD
The file’s still damaged? I’m unable to import its contents without errors:
Try repeating the PowerShell line and then verify you are able to import it like I have (tired) above.Code:PS C:\Users\Pyprohly> $a = Import-Clixml C:\Users\Pyprohly\Desktop\aclfile_Photoshop.txt Import-Clixml : Unexpected end of file has occurred. The following elements are not closed: Objs. Line 43685, position 9. At line:1 char:6 + $a = Import-Clixml C:\Users\Pyprohly\Desktop\aclfile_Photoshop.txt + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Import-Clixml], XmlException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Xml.XmlException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportClixmlCommand PS C:\Users\Pyprohly>
Maybe zip it before uploading as well. Not sure what went wrong.
Uploaded to ftp again. I get errors in Powershell, but it will open (allfiles) in Powershell ISE
Worked that time.
Now to run a bunch of commands. Get your elevated Command Prompt ready. First, these lines will revert the changes made to the amtservices.dll files that I asked you to try. Copy-paste and enter the entire thing at once.
Here are some new changes, based off the suggestion in that Adobe forum.Code:icacls "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\amtservices.dll" /remove Users icacls "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\amtservices.dll" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5\amtservices.dll" /remove Users icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Bridge CS5\amtservices.dll" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Device Central CS5\amtservices.dll" /remove Users icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Device Central CS5\amtservices.dll" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\amtservices.dll" /remove Users icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\amtservices.dll" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Users\ARD\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\LWA\amtservices.dll" /remove Users icacls "C:\Users\ARD\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\LWA\amtservices.dll" /remove "%username%"
Try Photoshop immediately after doing this.Code:icacls "C:\Program Files\Adobe" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Macrovision Shared" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Macrovision Shared" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Macrovision Shared" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Macrovision Shared" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\ProgramData\Adobe" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\ProgramData\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet" /remove "%username%" icacls "C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe" /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F icacls "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe /grant "%username%":(IO)(CI)F
Applied all changes and...................................IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, I really do appreciate your time, help and expertise.
Glad there was progress in doing that but there’s really no surprise to be had here as the changes made where brute force like. This fix is a work around rather than a solution because the root cause of the problem has not been identified.
It may not be worth your time, but if you’re willing to do a few more tests a more feasible solution can be found and this would be invaluable information for others with a similar issue.
Otherwise, hope to see you around.
One more thing. The fix only applies to your user account. If you want the fix applied to all your user accounts you can swap ‘%username%’ for ‘Users’, but know that these changes are not as easily reversible and will limit your ability to find the root cause of the problem if you wish to do so.

I would gladly do further tests to help others and I am interested to know what actually caused the issue in the first place
