Hey guys, new to the board here and pretty much at the end of my rope.
Starting maybe 2 days ago I began getting quite a strange message when I tried to open Photoshop CS3.
I'd send a jpeg of the window but with photoshop down i'll settle for just typing this crap out:
Photoshop.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The Procedure entry point ?replace@?$basic_string@DU$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@qaeaav12@IIPBD@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCP80.dll
Now, that's a mouthful! Fortunately i'm at least computer literate enough to dig around on google.
After doing that, I came up with nothing. I found a replacement for the DLL that it's having trouble with, but that did nothing.
I then tried out a program called Registrybooster, which found quite a few problems with my registry but failed to correct whatever is causing this problem.
So I tried to backtrack a little bit and see if anything I had done since the last time the program worked (wednesday the prior week) had broken it. I had shut off some startup programs so i figured maybe that had something to do with it. Unfortunately undoing those changes had absolutely no effect at all.
I then tried out doing a repair install, which did nothing. After this, I did an uninstall and reinstall and... nothing.
Some extra info: I run Windows XP home edition on this PC and have it updated to SP3.
I've had photoshop on it for about a year with no problems.
Hopefully someone can help me here. Almost every thread I located with similar problems via google either went unanswered or the answers given didn't actually help me out.
Someone save me!
