CC programs freeze when mouse settings are changed to left hand use

Hi everyone,
I have a little problem with several CC programs, when the mouse setting is changed to letf hand use for one user.
We are running Windows 7 x64 Professional and the latest version of Adobe CC 2014 of Photoshop and Illustrator.
When the user works with large files, the CC program (Photoshop in most cases, but e.g. Illustrator as well) freezes, the only window that works then is the window of the file that is open at the moment. Windows of other files are not clickable . When the taskmanager is opened then the other windows become clickable again. But when the user clicks somewhere, for example on the desktop a right click is a left click. that stops when a the left mouse button is clicked, than it works again.
The problem appears once or twice a day. When we change the mouse settings back to normal everything works fine.
I appreciate any hints and help
Thanks,
Andre

I tested them all.
As I already mentioned above: I just don't use the Touch and Launch Tool. I prefer to use only the extended functions of the usual Toshiba driver (as the extended corner functionality or the Easy Launcher). I know that I can set the mouse speed there. (that's what I did) But I?m already at the maximum speed and moreover there?s no possibility to increase the mouse acceleration. That?s why I?d like to change this in the usual windows-settings window.
For the moment I placed a shortcut to the mouse settings in the autostart folder. So every time I start up, I can change the settings immediately. But of course this is no long-term solution.
By the way: My goal is to have as less tools and running software as possible on my computer, because I use it for music production and a really need all resources I can get!!

CS6 crashing when sequence settings are changed

When I launch CS6 and select a new doc - it had default settings for the sequence. When I change them to DSLR - or anything but default......CS6 crashes, does not say why & shuts down. Tried changing them after setting everything else - same result.
Running a HP 8770w Elitebook
32G RAM
SSD primary
twin SATA's raided
nVidia K5000M (supported_cuda_card.txt in Adobe changed to read Quadro K5000M)
Any thoughts? I cannot get PPCS6 to run anything if I change the setting.

I'm sorry if I was not clear. I was referring to sequence presets. If you do not choose the proper one BEFORE working it screws up the footage. Sure, you can change the presets once working - but that crashed it too. Loved the comment though!!
On a fresh load of CS6 - the default sequence preset settings are other than DSLR - which is what I use. SO, you either change them in the first window, or do so after the sequence is open & running. Neither would work and crashed out as soon as you touch a button other than the default camera setting. We tried a number of different approaches to get the proper setting loaded. Nothing.
It turns out it's all an Adobe/nVidia issue. CS6 Premiere does not dig the Quadro K5000M.
But, after repeated attempts we found a workaround.
Fresh install of CS6 - restart
Edit the cuda_supported_cards.txt file as described in these Forums. Restart
Hack the card itself - restart
launched CS6 Premiere Pro & not only is the card there - but fully operational.
Results of speed tests in HD & 4K were amazing - this is realtime editing - finally.

Mouse settings are not being saved

I just did a clean install of Lion (10.7.5) on a new SSD in a mac pro 1,1 and am having problems with my mouse settings. The settings are not being saved. When I change any of the buttons, nothing changes.
It's not a hardware problem with the mouse. If I boot up to my previous os drive, lion 10.7.5, the mouse settings are correct and function properly.

FOrgot to add, this is the basic wired mouse. I've also tried the wireless bluetooth mighty mouse as well with the exact same results.
I've tried removing the plist files with no success

Windows CS3 Programs Freeze When Opening Files

Windows CS3, all programs freeze when trying to open files by going through the file menu.
Able to open files when navigating with windows explorer then right clicking on file and choosing "open with"
Windows XP Professional SP3, 4 Gb Ram Quad Core Processor.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 (Design Premium)
Have deleted photoshop settings file and tried using photoshop.
Any time I try to open a new file or existing file by going through the file menu the program freezes and must be terminated using the task manager.

Erika,
I wish you had posted that last night. LOL I'm glad it worked for you and I will tell anyone who has this problem to try that before they try my fix. I was starting to have other problems like inDesign corrupting images.
Here's how I fixed it,
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.
1. Backup entire pc
2. Deactivate Creative Suite 3 (or whatever application you are having a problem with)
3. Uninstall problem application or suite, then uninstall everything by adobe.
4. Search PC for all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
5. Delete all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
6. Restart PC
7. Run ccleaner and also run the registry fix.
8. Restart PC.
9. Backup registry.
10. Scan registry for "adobe", no quotes. Delete every instance of "adobe", no quotes making sure the reference is truly "adobe" and not something else.
11. Restart PC.
12. Install adobe suite or application.
13. Install any other adobe application you may need.
Worked for me, but
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.

Change a label in page when webpart properties are changed

Hi
can anyone please tel me how to
Change label in page when webpart properties are changed
Nishanthi N

Hi Nishanthi,
If it would be a Visual Webpart, then you have to pass webpart property in user control as WP property bag/collection so that you will retrieve it in ascx and assign its value to label on load event.
Add below code in Webpart:
[Personalizable(), WebBrowsable, WebDisplayName("City or Town"), Category("Address settings")]
      public String City {
get; set; }
        protected
override void CreateChildControls()
        AddressUserControl control = Page.LoadControl(_ascxPath)
as AddressUserControl;
        if
(control != null)
            control.WebPart =
this;
        Controls.Add(control);
Put this code in your ASCX Control:
MyWebPartClass ParentWebPart = (MyWebPartClass)this.Parent;
Use this code in your ASCX methods:
string webPartProperty = this.ParentWebPart.City;
Thanks
Please mark it as Answer if works...

Program freezes when adding text to clip

Hi,
I have sent a 40 minute slideshow to PE7. I am splitting the slide show at various points and inserting short video clips. After having added text to both photos and video two or three times, I now find that the program freezes when I either try to add further text or even if I try to edit previously inserted text.
Has anyone a solution to this please?
Thanks
Jim
P.S. the reason I am adding video to the slide show and not the other way around is that I like the pan and zoom facility of the slide show which is not available as a transition in PE7.
Apparently I cannot add video clips to slide shows in PSE 7 - or at least not more than 5 seconds of video at a time.

Hi, Thanks for you reply.
The photos are between 1 to 3 MB each if thats any help, My Sony Handycam was set to 16:9 format but I can't select this in Project preferences which seems fixed at 4:3. The point is that I have used photos of this size in a project containing both photos and video previously without problems. I have not tried to splice video footage into an imported slide show before.
I will investigate further later.
Thanks again
Jim

Since the latest software update, every third or so time I turn it on, my sounds settings are changed and I cannot listen to anything-music, YouTube, nothing. I can sometimes change something and it will work, but right now nothing is working. Anyone else

Since latest software update, my sound settings are changing sometimes when I turn on and cannot hear anything. All controls are useless and cannot be activated. After changing several things, I have been able to make it work, but today nothing is working. Anyone else experience this and have any ideas?

lion, system preferences freezes when I tried to change wall paper,how do I fix this?

Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

System Preference freezes when I want to change desktop background picture

My system preference freezes when I try to change my desktop background picture, any help, I tried disk utility repair, couldn't find the files to trash.

Login to the problematic account ensure that System Preferences is closed down. Move the following file to trash:
<home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
but don't delete it from the trash yet, just in case you need to restore it. Re-open System Preferences, it will re-create the file. If all's well then, then you can empty the trash.

Mouse arrow pointer changes to a hand

In Pages my mouse pointer arrow changes to a hand - not the “baseball mitt”-type hand (that’s the best way I can describe it!) with a pointing finger that appears when using Safari and you point to a link; not that hand, but the hand you get with Adobe Reader when you’re viewing a pdf. Sometimes the hand goes away and the arrow reappears, but then the hand comes back. Sometimes I get not a hand but a cross-hair. I read somewhere that I must go to Library>Internet plug-ins, and delete Adobe Viewer plug-ins, but I went there and couldn’t find any. How can I get the arrow back permanently?
MacBook Pro, Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013. OS X 10.9.4
2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I use Pages ’09 Version 4.3 - Pages 5 is useless to me

Thank you for your attempt to help me, but I'm wondering if you read my post carefully enough because I said it is not the "baseball mitt" (I've also seen it described as a "Mickey Mouse glove") grab cursor/link pointer that is giving me problems, i.e. it is NOT this icon that is causing me the trouble:
What my problem is, is that sometimes when I am working in Pages (even when it is a text-only document with no images), the mouse/trackpad pointer arrow, i.e. this:
changes into this:
This as I said, is the "Hand Tool" that I get on the screen when I read a pdf in Adobe Reader. It is a normal Adobe icon one sees all the time when one is using Adobe. See bottom right corner in the pic below.
I know that that's what it is because if I switch my Mac on in the morning to work on it, and I open Pages, and Adobe Reader is NOT open, I have no trouble and the mouse arrow pointer appears as it should. But then if I later open Adobe Reader, and read a pdf for example, when I go back to Pages, sometimes - not always - the mouse arrow will change into the Adobe Hand Tool. Sometimes it repeatedly changes between the arrow and the hand WHEN I ONLY HAVE TEXT ON THE PAGE - it has got nothing to do with hovering over images and shapes. If I want to select something from a drop-down menu, sometimes I will get the hand again (NOT the "Mickey Mouse glove") instead of the pointer arrow. It is an intermittent problem; it comes and goes. Sometimes I can work for hours and
there will be no problem, but then suddenly the problem will recur - in a Pages document with text only, no images.
By the way, the cross-hairs that appear sometimes (very seldom compared to the hand), also instead of the pointer arrow, are also the cross-hairs that I know from Adobe, not the ones that I know from Apple. There is clearly some problem of "interference" from Adobe Reader into my Pages programme - why I am I seeing icons from Adobe Reader (the hand tool and the cross-hairs) in Pages, icons that replace the arrow pointer, and how can I stop this - that's what I want to know! I might add that sometimes when I go into Adobe, this hand icon flickers very rapidly for maybe 20 seconds before it stabilises, which again indicates to me that there is some problem with it. I searched this forum some months ago to see if anyone had a similar problem, and I did find someone with exactly the same problem, but I can't find it now. The advice given to that person was to remove the Adobe Internet plug-ins, but I can't find any in Library>Internet plug-ins, and also to submit a bug feedback report to Apple (I have done that).
I might add that in Safari, the problem also happens. The arrow pointer is replaced by the hand tool - NOT by the link pointer "Mickey Mouse glove". In fact sometimes in Safari the link pointer "Mickey Mouse glove" is replaced by the hand tool.
So I hope I have made the problem clear! I don't think I have misunderstood what is going on.

Program Freezes when setting up GUI & can't figure why...

Hi Folks,
I'm having some serious problems with a program i've written, basically the program creates several threads.
Each thread creates and uses a JFrame to play a movie.
The problem i'm getting though is that the program keeps freezing(deadlocking) on me when i'm in the process of setting up each JFrame. I haven't even started the threads....
This happens intermittedly too boot, what i mean is that the program could run all day, then when it tries to setup a new group of JFrames will freeze, or it could run for just one hour and then the same would happen. I don't know why it is happening... Below is all the relevant code.
//code from the class which creates the Threads (the threads are called polly and passes the details
// required to them
private void createAndSendPollyDetails(){
        for(int i = 0; i < polly.length; i++){
            polly[i] = new Polly(basil);
            System.err.println(" created polly: " + (i+1));
            //get screen percentages
            for(int w = 0; w < 4; w++) {
                if (w == 0){
                    sWidth = screenSizePercentages[i][w];
                if (w == 1){
                    eWidth = screenSizePercentages[i][w];
                if (w == 2){
                    sHeight = screenSizePercentages[i][w];
                if (w == 3){
                    eHeight = screenSizePercentages[i][w];

As you can see i've tried putting them all in SwingUtilities.invokeLater, and still freezes....
I don't understand why it still does freeze... I'm also wondering when do you need to use the SwingUtilities.invokeLater and invokeAndWati, is it when you are changing/using any element/variable within a JFrame or just when you are changing/using and element/variable that effects the GUI display on a screen
Please help,
I'm very stuck,
Andy.

Keep it simple, start by removing all of the threads launches and frame builds and make sure it runs. Then have it build one frame and one thread and see if it runds. Then add another one and then ... you get the idea.
The first thought I had when I was reading your post was that you might want the thread to spin up its own frame rather than have the frame done first and then the thread launched.
Just a couple of thoughts on the subject.

Program freezes when used through ext. hd...

So, I upgraded, blah blah blah.
However, after struggling to get Classic back on here, which I finally did...
Now, my Microsoft 98 and Microsoft Office for OS X both freeze when I am editing a document or after I've printed it or something. It takes a few minutes but it eventually beach balls.
Then I try to Force Quit, which then doesn't work right away at all for some reason. Then I try to do something in Finder then finder starts to beach ball. So annoying. So after a while it will say if I want to continue to force quit even though Word isn't logging out and I click continue but still it's all so strange!
So, finally it dawned on me to drag the Microsoft OS X folder to my desktop. So it copies, then I eject my ext. hd... Then when I use the Word app. running through my int. hd, then it works.
Anyone know what could be the deal? I don't want this to be a sign that my LaCie is going to die soon... But if it is I need to know.

I noticed that no matter what program or even file I was using through my hard drive it would freeze. So I repaired permissions and the disk and it seems okay for now...

CS5 programs freeze when opening documents (OSX Mavericks)

Hi all,
Just curious if anyone else is having this issue. After installing Mavericks, now any document I attempt to open in an adobe program freezes for a very long time before it opens. It could even be a tiny 72 dpi image that I try to open in Photoshop. It is also having some plugin issues when trying to open documents on a network. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thanks,
Anthony

Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately by the time I saw this I had already reformatted the computers having the issue and reinstalled an earlier OS. I will definitely try this out if it happens again though!
