Abode Photoshop: Unable to Continue Error
Unable to continue because of a hardware or system error. Sorry, but this error is Unrecoverable.
This error often appears because of corrupted settings or preferences. The following simple solution covers how I've personally fixed this particular Photoshop unrecoverable error in the past.
How to Fix the Photoshop Unable to Continue Error
To fix the Photoshop Error:
- First, hold down all three Ctrl + Alt + Shift keys on your keyboard.
- Now, while keeping those button held, simply open Photoshop or a file that opens with it.
- As it loads, you should get a prompt asking if you would like to "delete the Photoshop settings file", click Yes.
You should now be able to start Photoshop and the error message should disappear.
Note: For best results, Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Shift then (right mouse click) a Photoshop shortcut and select Open.
