Can I kill services running behind photoshop?

I can see the following services running behind photoshop even after exiting the application.
VulcanMessageCmd.exe*32
CS6ServiceManager.exe*32
SwitchBoard.exe*32
Can I force close them while bridge or photoshop running? This is my requirement in app-v because when I exit the bridge,photoshop these processes run behind which doesn't allow my virutal bubble to shutdown.
So please suggest if I can close all these processes even if photoshop is running?
Actually I killed these processes from task manager but didn't affect photoshop application. But just want to make sure force closing these processes wont break the running application.
Thanks,
Venkat.

No risk in shutting them down when your environment is closed, anyway. They're just helper bunnies that provide access to web services and the Adobe ID and manage updates.

You've posted the SAME question THREE TIMES in LESS THAN an hour,
Understand that this is a "user to user" forum, We ARE NOT employees. We have jobs, families and lives of our own.
There are "Instructions for a clean install" which work for hundreds of people here each week.
If you remove Flash Player using your Control panel, download the offline installer and reinstall it (provided you haven't screwed your system up with all kinds of other junk) it should work exactly as it's supposed to. I have XP(x64), Vista(x86), Win 7 (x64) and Win 8(x64) ALL running the latest Flash Player and no problems. I use these machines for "testing" so I put them through all kind of garbage that most people don't but... if something really makes a mess, I GET RID OF IT, and put the system back to a stable state.
When was the last time you defragged your hard drive?
When was the last time you ran a "deep" disk cleanup?
When was the last time you cleaned your registry?
All of these can have an impact on how your system, and things you install, run (or don't).

Can't kill a running thread...

I'm having some problems killing a thread. Becuase thread.stop() is no longer used, I basically set a flag to tell all the threads to return by checking this flag in the run() method. The problem now is that there is a thread that is getting "stuck" in a class that I have no access to. So basically I assume that its a really long loop, or an infinite loop... either way, that thread doesn't stop even if the "parent" (spawning) thread is "stopped". Any suggestions?

Can Camera Raw be run outside Photoshop?

Ancient history I know but the Camera Raw plugin in my Photoshop CS2 is the only convertor I have found to properly convert (including metadata) the SR2 files to PSD from my Sony DSC-R1 camera.
It is a nuisance to have use it via CS2 everytime. Is there a standalone version?

Not sure about CS2, but with later versions you can use it directly via the Bridge application.
There's also Lightroom, which uses the same internal conversion algorithms and may provide you functionality you prefer.

Can't make Bridge go behind Photoshop

I'm not sure what happened or what upgrade caused this to start.
Have Macintosh with latest OSX.
When Bridge is open and I double click to get into Photoshop, Bridge used to go behind the Photoshop window. Now, it doesn't -- it just stays in front of the Photoshop window. Only way to work in Photoshop is to minimize the Bridge screen.
Help!
--marv

>BTW: I must have set something wrong in preferences. Not sure what. I'll be more careful and/or clean preferences from time to time.
Unfortunately Bridge CS3 has its own way of dealing with preferences, sometimes I suspect it for having a mood itself. So there is no need for you to punish yourself, just punish Bridge by hitting very hard on the option key when restarting.... :-)

Can I run the Photoshop CC and Lightroom with Windows XP professional as the operating system?

Can I run the Photoshop CC and Lightroom with Windows XP professional as the operating system?

The tech specs for Phtoshop CC and Lightroom indicate Windows 7 with SP 1 is required as a minimum, so XP would not be sufficient to run them. Here's the Photoshop specs:
Windows
Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor (2GHz or faster)
Windows 7 with Service Pack 1, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1*
1GB of RAM
2.5GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on removable flash storage devices)
1024x768 display (1280x800 recommended) with OpenGL® 2.0, 16-bit color, and 512MB of VRAM (1GB recommended)†
Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation, and access to online services.‡

[SOLVED] Can't make Akonadi server / Nepomuk service run

I'm currently running KDE SC 4.9 on Arch Linux x86_64, system fully up to date.
My laptop's HD went dead some days ago so I had to restore my system from a 2-weeks old backup; I usually use fsarchiver to backup root partition and 7z to compress ~/.kde4 and ~/.config so this way I'm covered up about these kind of things.
So after restoring my system and home folder I did a full upgrade (nearly a gigabyte of downloads) and while most things seems to work well I found that Nepomuk isn't running, when I try to start it manually I have this error message:
"Failed to start the desktop search service (Nepomuk). The settings have been saved and will be used the next time the server is started."
Going back to the wiki I did my homework re-configuring Akonadi but so far I can't make Nepomuk run.
This is what I have:

Already raked the forums and the net but can't find anything of help :(
* UPDATE *
1.Further research shows akonadi database is empty so it seems Akonadi isn't connecting to MySQLd.
2. I created a new user to simplify research and found the very same problem when trying to activate Nepomuk: Failed to start the desktop search service (Nepomuk). The settings have been saved and will be used the next time the server is started.
From what I remember Akonadi/Nepomuk/Soprano were working well in previous KDE 4.8.4.
* UPDATE *
Solved after reinstalling all MySQL stack.

Martin

Hi,
I believe this would be your Prod system, so don't just cancel it but look at the job log. If it is still processing then don't kill it and wait for the change run to complete but if you can see that nothing is happening and it is stuck for a long time then you can go ahead and cancel it.
But please be sure, as these kind of jobs can create problems if you cancel them in the middle of a job.

I can create an action but the droplet doesn't do anything when I drop a file on it. I am running Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 on a 64bit Windows7 PC.

I can create an action but the droplet doesn't do anything when I drop a file on it. I am running Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 on a 64 bit Windows7 PC. I exactly followed the steps on a youtube video on how to create an action and how to create a droplet.

Thanks for the reply, I tried that but i wasn't able to get it to work. I also tried to see if l could using the
function functionName()
and I was still unable to.

I haven't tried it yet, so i could be way off. But since you assigned it to a variable I would say it won't do anything until to call that variable. I would assume there must be a show command or similar that is needed for it to display.
My experience is with actionscript and javascript but still I lean towards basic. I don't feel comfortable enough to say I am any higher yet as more experience is needed in my opinion.
So feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt.

Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

Can you run Adobe Photoshop CS version 8 on Yosemite?

Well if you want permanent license Adobe software, here is the price list for the CS6 catalog . Creative Suite 6
Just know that with the exception of Adobe Camera Raw updates, CS6 will have maintenance updates, but not the features of CC 2014.
The rental model called Creative Cloud means you will have the software installed on your Mac and you can work with your files as before, it's just that activation depends on a $50 monthly fee. Upgrades are piped in at no further cost, and you have the freedom to switch platforms and interface languages. You activate on up to two computers, PC, Mac or mixed. 20 GB online storage for collaboration, and you can also store and sync your settings and custom presets. Typekit if you'd like to try new and difference fonts.
Look at it this way, it's not a big deal if you are in business. You rent many things and this is probably not your largest monthly expense.

Outlook 2007 doesn't show icloud service running. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?

Outlook 2007 doesn't show the icloud service running in Windows 7 within outlook. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook? I've installed the icloud control panel app and set it up to synch everything, but after initially downloading my icloud calendar, it won't process any calendar updates (new entries made on either iphone 4 on ios 5 or outlook).
So since the control panel installed, but the service doesn't show running in outlooks "trust center" add-ins list, anyone know the actual dll file it would point to so I can see if I can add it the hard way?

I had the same issue and figured it out. First you have to start Outook as administrator. To do this, shift and right-click on outlook and click run as administrator. Next you need to enable Hard-disabled add-ins:
Hard-Disabled Add-Ins
Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer if you stop the debugger while the Startup event handler in your add-in is executing.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
Select the add-in and click Enable.
Click Close.
Then you need to activate it.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Inactive Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box next to the disabled add-in.
Click OK.

Can I install and run Photoshop CS2 on a Windows 7 64Bit OS?

I just purchased a computer It is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS. Can I install and run Photoshop CS2? What issues would I have?

For what it's worth I have Photoshop CS2 running fine on Vista x64, but I've not moved it over to my Windows 7 x64 machine. Generally speaking, things that work fine on Vista x64 work fine on Windows 7 x64.
That said, you might want to wait until you hear from someone who's actually tried the exact combination themselves.

When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop (message reads "attempt to access invalid address" - what can I do?

When I'm running Firefox 4, I can't run Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 at the same time. I get an error message which reads "attempt to access invalid address". When I stop running Firefox, I can use Photoshop again. What can I do?

Which OS are you using? Because there have been some issue with Win7 and PSE4. Try upgrading to PSE8.You can try the trial version of PSE8.

Is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2

is my iMac now useless as i have installed lion and i am no longer able to run cs2 photoshop and illustrator as this is all i use my mac for they should make this clear before buying it i can't afford the latest version of cs2 and cant believe what a waste of money it is.

The newest version of CS2 is CS5. And it was made very clear that these applications would not run in Lion. Not only by Apple, but on all sorts of communities and websites. It has been a long time coming - PowerPC apps were outdated six years ago. Lion does not support Rosetta, and therefore not PPC apps.
you have to options. Go back to Snow Leopard or upgrade your software. (MS Office 2004 and older will not run either).
Cheers
