Would trying "Run as Administrator" work? I HIGHLY doubt it, but maybe worth a try...

J.B., check out this thread that addresses that error code. The OP corrected their problem by using a program called Dependency Walker. I'll keep looking.

More great advice on this page. Specifically the second last message by Roahn Lou whom is a moderator.

Or these two - 1 (Adobe Photoshop support search results on error 0xc000007b) or 2 (great info and tools). From the research I've done, it seems to be related to the computers registry.

Did you go through the activation process any point after the install or does it fail before it gets to that point? If yes, then I'd try uninstalling and deleting all traces, then reinstall but DO NOT run any updates until you've tried launching it first. I've had problems in the past where a freshly installed and updated app would not work. Launching and activating prior to updates seemed to alleviate that.

If you do end up uninstalling and reinstalling PS, I strongly recommend you use third party software like Revo Uninstaller , and then run a registry cleaner like CCleaner . I use both those programs whenever I uninstall something.

I've been using the AdobeCreativeSuiteCleanerTool and ccleaner and also checked the registry to be sure nothing was left of the old installation before installing a new time.
I will see what can be done with all the suggestions you gave me and see what tomorrow will bring; i understand nothing about the Revo Uninstaller and as to the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7, it works with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and my installation has version 4.
i'm far from being knowledgeable with these, and i would not be surprised if i decide to reinstall everything anew; i will then install Ps right after i've done Win7 without any updates, as pmbuko suggested.
right now, my brain is getting overload... will be back another day.
for the great help so far, i'm super grateful. :-D

Hey, got some good news... today i started SuperAntiSpyware scan and it found 41 instances of "Security.hijack(Image file execution options)" in the registry; it was blocking Nero, Ps, Canon scan, and Superantispyware.
The not-so-good news: got rid of the little pests and now the programs work ok, except for Ps. so i'll reinstall it tomorrow and see. if it still does not work right, then i'll do a clean install for everything.

you might want to run some other spyware programs, as they don't all clean everything; spybot, malwarebytes and for antivirus I love Avast over AVG and the other free products out there.
