I've been using Adobe CS6 for years and today when I went to open a jpg in Photoshop I got a strange Adobe screen that froze my screen and said my copy was not valid and I should go to the adobe website to see what to do next. Well, instead I went to my Windows services and disabled all the adobe authentication and update programs. Problem solved, however my printer, which has worked flawlessly for a couple of years stopped working with every print job showing as an error and my printer showing as offline, and not fixable. I needed to uninstall and reinstall my printer. Coincidence (or not)? If not, does Adobe feel like if you have their software on your computer, they own your computer? All's well that ends well. My CS6 and the printer both working fine now, but it took a couple of hours.

Problems like this are often an early indicator of a hard drive problem. I'd make sure I had backups and then run chkdsk. (from and admin cmd prompt type: chkdsk c: /f

I think you are victim of file corruption. Every hard drive will fail eventually.

Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and ran it. Probably should defrag the drive as well.
