Elements 12 problem with brush cursor

I have recently bought Elements 12 (I have used Elements 2 for many years) which I am running on a Dell laptop with Windows 7.  Every time I change the brush cursor size, the cursor becomes corrupted.  It changes to strange shapes and does not work properly.  I have found that I can rectify the probem each time by pressing the spacebar.  The cursor then becomes circular again and works properly, but only until I change the brush size again.  So I have to keep pressing the spacebar all the time when I am trying to use the brushes.  Has anyone else had this problem and know of a fix please?  I have not encountered any other problems with Elements 12.

Sorry I didn't spot that box and many thanks for the diagram.  I have now reset the brush tool which does revert the cursor to the circular shape and sets it to a small size (13 px), but the problem reoccurs.  As I increase the brush size, when it gets to 250 px, the cursor goes to an odd shape, then it reverts to circular at about 800 px.  A similar thing happens if I then reduce the brush size.
I am new to this forum, as I didn't have any problems with Elements 2.  After I posted my question, it listed similar questions from other members.  One member descibed an identical problem with an earlier version of Elements.  That post was a very long dialogue and I have just quickly read through it.  He could not fix it and people's suggestions were that it was probably a deficiency with his graphics card.  Unfortunately, I suspect I have the same problem with my Dell laptop. I imagine there is nothing I can do other than buying a new PC, but if you guys have any further suggestions, then that would be great.  Many thanks!

    I'm having a problem with my cursor. It either disappears or I cannot see it immediately. Is there a way to make an adjustment on the display of the curse

    reset SMC , also uncheck and check each setting on the cursor
    SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.

  • Premiere Elements 13 , Problems with new text/titles

    Premiere Elements 13, bisher keine Probleme. Nachdem die Filmlänge etwa 15 Minuten beträgt immer größere Probleme Titel/texte einzugeben. Wartezeiten sind extrem lange oder Programm stürzt ganz ab.

    High ATR,
    Computer running on Widows 7 ,64 Bit System, Service Pack 1, Processor AMD Phenom(tm) X4 945 3.00 Ghz;RAM 8 GB
    Grafikkarte: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    If the video on the timeline is longer than 10 minutes the problem will be remarkable. The response times adding a title is getting longer(2-15 seconds).
    As the video is now 18 minutes the response time is after each action(resizing of letters or any changes of the text) up to 30 seconds or the program crashes completely.
    Project settings are the following:
    General HD 1080i; 29,97frames/second; Video:1920v 1080 H, 30 fps
    Video: maximale Bittiefe, Dateiformat i-frame only mpeg, Kompressor MPRG i-Frame, Standbilder optimieren
    The video is a mixture  of full HD videos 1920x 1080 .mov and pictures up to 4608x3456 pixels.
    When the program crashes I remarked that the main memory RAM(8Gb) was fully used by the premiere program. Might there be a problem?
    Thank you for your service.

  • I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unuseable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

    I'm having a real problem with my cursor which seems to have developed a mind of its own, zigzagging allover, highlighting things without my command, and basically making my MacBook unusable (it's taken me half an hour just to compose this!).

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
    2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
    3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
    4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
    5. Reset the System Management Controller.
    6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

    So I contact apple:
    Apple told me that they have no responsibility from 3rd party company as ADOBE and their software: Photosohp CS5 and they told me as well that I should contact ADOBE,
    Ok, I try to cntact adobe:
    but I cannot find some contact on official site- email, where I can deteailed describe my problem, so for that I try to find some information through the community forum here:
    PLEASE IF THIS READ ANYBODY FROM DEVELOPER TEAM FROM ADOBE:

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH

    You could try
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop
    But are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance like repairing permissions, purging PRAM, font validation, etc.) yet?

  • [Solved] Problem with mouse cursor gnome3

    Hi
    I moved back to Archlinux after a brief stay in LMDE, and test the new GNOME3, I am unpleasantly surprised that after a while the mouse is moving himself toward the top of the screen. I searched the internet, and seems to be a problem with the gnome-shell for some time, but I am not able to find the solution.
    Momentarily solved by restarting gnome with ALT + F2 + r + Enter, but after a while, same thing happens again.
    Can be well with photography programs, but of course if you do not solve this issue, GNOME, I can not use
    Can you give me a helping hand?
    Thanks and regards
    Rafa

    I don't know about Gnome, but my laptop had that problem.  I tracked it down the 3d accelerometer being used to simulate a joystick.  Of course, I also had (previously) set up another joystick to operate as a mouse.  In the end, the cursor "drifted" when the laptop was not level
    YMMV

  • Since installing Mac Mavericks all my friends with Macs and I have problems with the cursor disappearing, only in Firefox, Safari is fine...

    I have stopped using Firefox as nothing I have done has fixed this problem. I have tried shutting down Firefox and rebooting it, I cleared all my add-ons and then added adblock back (that's the only one) but it still doesn't work. I've deleted large files so that I have more space - I can't think of anything else that will work. I have spoken to four of my friends with Macs and they are all having the same problem with Firefox since Mavericks.

    Hi thanks very much for your reply. I did a few things like delete my add-ons and I don't have the problem of the disappearing cursor (sounds like a Sherlock Holmes story) any more but it seems to have been a mac issue as there were many complaints on the Apple forums of the cursor disappearing since the Mavericks OS and not just in Firefox but in multiple programs. Looks like they've fixed it somehow!

  • Problem with busy cursor

    IHey there,
    i have a popping up window in my Flex app. This window needs a little time to get created. In this time I want to set the Cursor to busy. But instead of the busy cursor Flex displays no cursor, also the arrow cursor disappears.
    I tried the hack with callLater but it doesn't help. Had anyone a similar problem and knows how to fix it?
    By the way: What is the best way to set the busy cursor? Static, with the parentApplication.cursoManager property or in the component with this.cursoManager? All of these ways have the same result on my problem: no cursor!
    click on a item (own component, extended Canvas, buttonMode = true)
    call function by MouseListener
    function {
        this.cursorManager.setBusyCursor();
        this.callLater(doPopUpWork);
    callLater function
    doPopUpWork() {
        // DO WORK AND ADD POPUP
        this.cursorManager.removeBusyCursor;
    I checked the right timing with trace statements [ trace("setBusy") ... ] and the also cursor comes Back when work is done and popup was added. All right and in right time. But the cursor disappears in that time instead of showing the busy cursor.
    Can anybody help me???

    I see there are problems with reading the code, try again:
    click on a item (own component, extended Canvas, buttonMode = true)
    call function by MouseListener
    function {
        this.cursorManager.setBusyCursor();
        this.callLater(doPopUpWork);
    callLater function
    doPopUpWork {
        // DO WORK AND ADD POPUP
        this.cursoManager.removeBusyCursor();

  • Problem With Brushes Pressure CS5

    Hello all.
    I'm using a Photoshop Cs5 with a Wacom Cintiq 12wx Tablet (I'm using PC with WinXP).
    I'm having some problems withe the pressure, it doesn't work on Photoshop, (I tried it on CS3 & CS5), and I did clicked on the Tablet options in PS.
    The pressure just don't responds.
    I Think its becuse I can't change the Minimum Diameter in any Brush.
    Plus when I change the Control part to Pen Pressure, a little warning sign is appering ( a triangel with an exclamation mark insaid ), how ever when I click on it [to see what the problem is ,nothing happens].
    I have to point out that in the Cintiq Tablet Properties it's all fine, the pressure respond(in the meter)
    I tried making a different settings for Photoshop, it didn't help. Can any one Pleas help me?

    Usually, this is an issue with the wacom driver needing to be updated.
    A few people have also found that the Windows tablet settings can also mess things up.

  • Premiere Elements cause problems with Windows Media Center while streaming to TV.

    I was having the following problem:
    The audio from the streaming process of a recorded TV show on my HP computer to the remote receivers, a Sony Blu-ray player and/or a Sony Streaming Player, results in the loss of audio signal at exactly 30 seconds from the beginning on either devices. The video continues on as normal.
    A user on the Windows 7 forum had the following possible cause and solution.  His response was as follows:
    I "solved" my issue, at least partially. Turns out for me a codec installed by Adobe Premiere Elements for audio (Main Concept) was causing mfpmp.exe to fail (you should see it getting an appcrash in the event log two or three times as soon as you start playing the media remotely.) This program is used by microsoft for DRM. I went through and one by one remained the various attached (non-microsoft) modules until i found the one that caused the appcrash. I haven't fully figured out if Elements is now negatively effected, but that's for a different forum.
    I tried the quick fix by un-installing Adobe Premiere Elements.  The uninstall solved my problem with Windows Media Center, but I want to re-install the software but I do not want to recreate the problem with Windows Media Center.
    Is there another solution for this problem?

    I reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and the above mention problem reoccured.  With a little detective work I was able to determine that the file causing my problem was "mc_dec_dd_ds.ax".  I am not sure what this does to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 since I removed (renamed) the offending file.  A strange side affect, renaming the file did cause an increase volume. Strange.  

  • Elements 12 problem with serial.

    i just bought elements 12 from amazon, intalls fine on a windows 8 machine, But then tells us our trial has expired. Catalog section works but editor tells us we need new application manager. I downloaded and installed it but still doesnt work. Cant find a phone number, The worst christmas presentEVER., Help!!!!

    Hi,
    Since you already have one copy activated the serial number must be logged in your account details - I would first check that the one logged and the one you are attempting to enter are the same.
    You can check your account details by going to www.adobe.com and clicking on Manage Account. You need to sign in with your Adobe Id and then click on View All under Plans & Products. Next click on View your products and after a while it should produce your list.
    If there is a problem with the serial number, only Adobe can help you there (we are just users). Please see the response in this thread
    First of all, I would have to say that getting in touch with you is a nightmare and I am not at all happy that I can't just email or live chat with someone who can help!  I am not a technical person, I just want to be able to use Photoshop Elements and ge

  • Problem with fetch cursor statement

    Hi,
    I am using FETCH CURSOR statement to fetch the data from a database table with package size. For the fetched records I am doing parallel processing using parallel processing frame work in banking system.
    Here the problem is for the first iteration it works fine but when it comes to FETCH NEXT CURSOR in the second iteration , programs gets dumping by saying that 'CURSOR already closed'.
    I am not closing the cursor in the program but some how it got closed some where in the standard function module which I used for parallel processing.
    I used WITHHOLD also along with FETCH CURSOR but no use. Please let me know how to avoid the cursor to get close.
    Below is my code
    IF NOT l_tab_product IS INITIAL.
        OPEN CURSOR WITH HOLD lv_cursor FOR
         SELECT contract_int prodint cn_currency mig_grp
              INTO TABLE gt_cont
                FROM bca_contract
                FOR ALL ENTRIES IN l_tab_product
                WHERE prodint = l_tab_product-prodint
                AND   mig_grp IN s_migrp.
        DO.
          FETCH NEXT CURSOR lv_cursor
                            INTO TABLE gt_cont
                                 PACKAGE SIZE lv_size.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
            CLOSE CURSOR lv_cursor.
            EXIT.
          ELSE.
    parallel processing logic
    ENDDO.
    ENDIF.

    Using Withhold will not make sure that the cursor will not get closed because of commits.
    SAP Doc says
    If the addition WITH HOLD is specified, the database cursor is not closed by a database commit executed using Native SQL. The addition does not have an influence, however, on implicit database commits or on any rollbacks which always close the database cursor.
    You have to check the part written in your parallel processing logic.
    As Brad said please donot dump your old threads like this.

  • Photoshop Elements 12 - problems with copying image

    I'm trying to select a person from one photo and put them into a completely different photo.  Using the selection brush (the lasso and magic wand didn't work with this photo) I have outlined the person then copied to the other photo.  The problem is when I paste all I get is an outline, no content.  I've also tried using the move tool with the same result, just the outline, no content.  I've watched various videos and tried many other methods with no luck.  Even unloaded and reloaded Photoshop Elements 12.  Anyone had any advice?  Thank you.

    If you are using the regular selection brush, not the quick select tool, it only selects the area directly under the brush, so if you are using a small brush to brush around the outline, that's all you're selecting. The quickest way to fix it is to increase the brush size and hold down the shift key while brushing over the area within the outline, or switch over to the quick select tool, which finds the edges of objects  automatically.
