Win a Pentax Limited Lens: Raffle Now Live!

This one is particularly annoying. I use Creative Suite 2, Photoshop with Windows XP Pro. I have the latest update(s).
When I open Photoshop, I constantly receive the message "Could not import the clipboard because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered." I hit [OK] and the message reappears in about 5 sec.
I have both run Photoshop as the first ap on the computer (prior to anything being on the Clipboard) and I ahve manually cleared the Clipboard.
I have also re-installed the CS2.
Please help...

This problem crops up from time-to-time and often has been caused by a printer driver of all things. (It always seems to be some other program that is somehow in conflict with PS.) What printer drivers do you have installed on your system? (If there is a network printer, I'd uninstall that one first and see what happens.)

You need InDesign

If so, see if you can place the corrupted PSD file and then export it as either a PDF or JPG, (I personally prefer PDF for quality). If this works you will at least now have your flattened version of your PSD. Then open that up in Photoshop and create a new layer and carry on.

As alternatives solutions might be presented...
