CS4 3D problem

Up until this week I was able to work with the 3d tools in CS4. But the past couple of days all I get is the SBOD, leading to a Force Quit whenever I try to do anything from the 3d menu (convert to postcard, load a 3d object, etc.).
I've reset the prefs and uninstalled/reinstalled the software, but the problem still persists.

  • CS4 Crashing Problems - Questions

    Just curious in regards to all of these "CS4 Crashing" problems.
    1) Before updating to Snow leopard, did you people do due diligence by at the very least checking the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drives and do a Permission Repair first BEFORE updating?
    2) Did you make a clone of your working perfectly Leopard disk, or at least do a current (minutes before) Time machine backup?
    3) Did you check first which 3rd party extensions such as those by Unsanity (FontCard), YouControl(Font), Growl, etc. that will NOT play nice with Snow Leopard yet until they are updated (if ever?)... and pre-update delete them?
    4) Did you check to make sure that all of your fonts have been disabled and those that are NOT specifically from Apple, are removed from the User Font folders... and NOT set to load at startup?
    Now after all of that... did ya still "freely" and without a gun to your head, update to Snow Leopard... a brand spankin' new (dot.zero) OS release and expect absolutely NO bugs: small, large or just inconvenient for the time being?
    And now your whining here?... and complaining to Apple?
    Have any of you considered reverting to your clone of Leo 10.5.8 until certain issues (yours) have been fail-safely fixed?
    For the record, I did a straight-up SL update on a 2.16 CoreDuo MBP, and a 2008 8-core MacPro with NO problems! Everything working fine in 32-bit and 64-bit (MacPro), including even FreeHand under Rosetta.
    NOTE: check your fonts!!! Whenever something crashes here or at any of my clients unexpectedly, font and/or font cache corruption has been the main culprit, now for over 20 years(!)

  • CS4 Export Problem

    I have an external hard drive to which I export my encoded CS4 video files once I have finished editing.  The problem is that, in doing so, space seems to be used also on my C drive.  I need to find and delete these files on my C drive once my PP project files are rendered to my external drive.  I have looked in temp files but they not there.  Can anyone advise me on this?

    That's done it S.V.  Many thanks!

    If you're using Vista you might be making the same mistake as me. Go edit>preferences>media, hover the mouse over the media cache files location (i.e. C:\yadayada) and TYPE that into the bar at the top of the my computer. Don't click through and try and find it, TYPE it like you would an internet address in a web browser.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 (x64) problem on Windows7

    Hi, everyone. I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 (x64) running on Windows7 (x64). When I try to launch x64 version I get message "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." It was working fine before and only today it have broken. By the way, Photoshop CS4 (x86) works perfect, I can't launch only x64 version. Have you any idea how to solve this problem?
    (re-installing Photoshop don't fix it)

  • Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

    I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
    1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
    For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
    2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
    You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
    I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
    Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

    Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
    Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

  • CS4 Installation Problem on Mac - Error 2

    I have tried for several hours to make the new install of Adobe CS4 work. The Lightroom2 install worked fine. Background: I have a macbook pro, OS/X 10.5.7, enough avail disk space. I had a trial version of LR2 and full CS2. I have done the following: checked "repair permissions" - an OS/X utility that interfered with operating Capture NX a couple years ago, so I added that step. I have uninstalled every Adobe application, using Clean Script 3 and Clean Script 4. I have tried to install CS4 in a separate user account, which has since been deleted, and again both Clean Scripts have been run. I have restarted my computer and downloaded a fresh version of CS4. I have tired to install it as a Tial version instead of an upgrade, also.  It NEARLY installs, but at the very end of the install bar, after Bridge and before finishing Photoshop installation,  I get a big red X and an error and find it is Error 2. The Adobe support pdf's have not helped, including those referenced by their little support bot.
    Have spent a couple hours with Adobe Support, also.  No one knows what Error 2 means. 
    Also, the "support" person closed my case as though it had been resolved - said he would call me back in one hour and 2ours 45 minutes later had not called back.  He CLOSED the case, wasting my time and lying to me.

    I have just committed the cardinal sin of allowing my daughter to install Adobe CS4 Web Premium on my new Mac Pro 2.26 8 Core.
    I use this computer for pro music composition, and until I allowed my daughter to talk me into letting her use it for Adobe Web Premium (24" Apple screen, she has a PC laptop), it was strictly a no fly zone.
    My worst fears were realized.
    Neither she, nor I, can't get a clean install. Each attempt is greeted by a 'Successful but with Errors' or some such garbage. I have submitted a support requerst but have had no reply.
    The new Mac died. Apple replaced it with a new computer under Applecare Warranty, and a new hard disk, but still the problem remains.
    I've tried a new partition; nope.
    I get the folling error codes:

    Adobe help in Australia were polite but did not resolve the problem. I called again and was greeted by a call centre somewhere in the Third World by someone who knew less about computers that they did about Adobe products. This poor person probably has a good job within his impoverished community, but undoubtedly paid a pittance (or why would Adobe set up a Call Centre in India), which make s it really hard to vent my frustrations without appearing racist.
    I am attempting to take over the problem as there is no way a seventeen year old girl could negotiate this. I can't.
    Has anybody any clues?
    Appreciate any help. I can't access my daughter's email which the product is registered through at Adobe, as it is on her school computer which is connected through the school server, but my email is [email protected].
    Appreciate any help. Or the contact details of a good hit-man.

  • Adobe Bridge to CS4 Batch Problem

    I hope this is the correct forum for this post as I don't know if its a Bridge or CS4 problem.
    If I carry out various adjustments in ACR from within bridge, then select a number of the adjusted files and run the CS4 Batch from within Bridge. (I.e. Tools|PhotoShop|Batch...) I'm given the option of the action to run and each file is loaded into CS4 and the action runs file.
    The problem is that not all the adjustments made are transfered into CS4 - the most obvious one being any crops.
    If I open the same files in CS4 - as in File|Open, then all the adjustments are present.
    Have I got something set incorrectly or is this a bug?
    Thanks
    Mark

    I've been having similar loss of adjustments...and haven't got a solution.  It seems to me the following happens:
    If I launch Photoshop CS4 32bit, open Bridge, and start a batch process, the adjustment from the first opened RAW file is used for ALL files being processed.
    If I launch Bridge before and start a batch process, Photoshop CS4 64bit is automatically launched and each image is properly processed using each file's settings.  Acutally, I'm not 100% sure I ever have this problem with the 64bit Photoshop even when I launch it first.
    At first I thought I was losing my mind...some settings are too subtle to see differences when I quickly glance through a bulk group of photos.  But lately I have processed some photos as black and white...and you know something is wrong if ALL of your batch processed photos suddenly show up black and white.

  • Bridge CS4 causing problem with Explorer

    The following problem occurred after adjusting the Preference settings in Bridge CS4:
    When right clicking on any folder in either the Explorer or on the Desktop the following message is displayed "Windows Explorer has stopped working..."
    This is now the second time, after having created two new User Accounts. While Explorer worked perfectly for a couple of days before adjusing the settings in Birdge, I cannot undo what has caused this problem and am reluctant to setup yet another user account. Also, I can't figure out which setting change might have caused this.
    Is it possible that by adjusting the settings in Bridge it added a shell extension to Windows Explorer?
    Has anyone here encountered a similar problem after adjusting the settings in Bridge?
    Cheers,

  • Photoshop CS4 graphics problem solved in Windows 7 -64 bit

    I recently spent several days tracking down why i was getting odd graphical behaviour in CS4.
    Often, while using the polygon lasoo tool andother tools, the screen woud jump and the selection would stop in mid-stream.
    I also noticed other odd behaviors.
    the solution was to turn of the AERO effects by right clicking on the desktop, choosing personalize and choosing "classical theme".
    Prior to this problem, when I started the latest premiere pro, I couldn't access the tabs in the choose settings fields. After talking to tech support, we found that I had set my default font size for Windows 7 to 125% of normal, so i could see the high res screen better. Resetting it to 100% by right clicking the desktop choosing settings, advanced, cleared up the problem.
    I hope this helps other users avoid similar headaches.

    Thanks for posting the information.

  • Adobe PS CS4 Install problem

    Hi Guys:
    I had an installation and I was seeming to have computer problems after (mainly getting photoshop to print a pic), so I uninstalled, and then went to reinstall.  The program goes through the install routine, but it doesn't allow me to change the install folder or enter my serial number, and when it is approx 1/4" from the end of the install as shown by the progress bars, it suddenly finishes, and the gives me the following message:
    "Done, with errors"
    and it shows that several files including PS CS$ were successfully installed
    When I go to the button at the bottom for more details, it says:

    Error:
    Error 2
    Language Pack (English)
    Error:

    **I have done the uninstall PS CS4, then restart the computer, reinstall routine multiple times and always the same error.
    When I actually try to start PS CS4 from the start menu I get this message:
    Some of the application components are missing from the application directory, please reinstall the application.
    Can anyone help me with this?

  • Photoshop CS4 Experience, Problems & Questions

    Hi all,
    i just installed my Production Suite Premium on the following System (fresh install, clean System, no other versions of Photoshop):
    Intel E8500 Dualcore
    Nvidia Geforce 9800 GX2 (Driver Version 178.24)
    3 GB RAM
    Windows XP Professionel SP3
    Photoshop has its own Scratchdisk assigned with at least 50 GB free Space.
    I know that the 9800 GX2 is considered to be a "Gaming-Card" but as a freelance artist i work for the game-industry on many occasions and I need a decent gaming hardware to test what I am working on. As far as I know, the card meets all requirements for CS4 and Nvidia tells me, that their GPU's are perfect for CS4. (wasn't a problem with any version before, I use Photoshop AND Nvidia-Cards since Photoshop 4)
    Here are the things that bug me:
    - Photoshop disables the OpenGL Features on random occasions, stating, that it has encountered a problem. This happens either in Two GPU-Mode or One-GPU-Mode.
    There's no obvious reason for any errormessage, because IF Open GL is activated it seems to work pretty good, zooming and rotating works quite well and fast. I noticed, that the problem happens either after saving my file or when i open photoshop.
    - Photoshop crashed on several occasions mostly concerning heavy transforming of multiple layers. It simply didn't respond anymore in the midst of the transormation-process.
    My guess is, that this is also linked to the GPU/Driver. System-Memory is checked, GPU works like a charm in all other applications. CS3 has not once crashed in one year, so i guess it has to do with the changes made in CS4.
    Strange thing is, that even with open GL deactivated, the above written problems occur. I would have thought, that with OpenGL dectivated, Photoshop would somehow become kind of CS3 again, but it seems, there had been to much changes to simply disconnect photoshop from it's new OpenGL interface.
    Apart from these two Problems, Photoshop CS4 is doing ok. It feels kind of sluggish compared to older versions, but that might also change with some new drivers.
    Sad thing is, that the rotate canvas feature and the extended moverange for images, the main reasons why i upgraded to CS4, are only working with
    OpenGL activated. I really hope there will be a fix in the near future.
    There are other questions concerning PS CS4's usability:
    - The Scale-Brush Feature uses alt + right mouse buttons, what seems kind of strange when using a stylus (Even more when using a stylus without buttons like the wacom layout-marker).
    I would prefer another combination of keyboard shortcuts plus stylus movement ctrl + alt for example. so far i have not found a way to remap the keys. Am i missing something? Or is this impossible?
    - Is there a way to get window behavior back the way it was in CS3? The new way of handling windows is ok, but i liked the old one better. If i disable "floating windows docking" there's no way to maximize a window INSIDE the photoshop workspace. The maximize button on top of every window is right now completely useless because it maximizes the window AND gets rid of all the menus and palettes. I don't see why i want to do that.
    That's it. I hope this is useful either for the guys at adobe or for other users. Every new Photoshop-Version has had its problems, i hope that these will just be dealt with like the ones before.
    All the best,
    Pickman

    Photoshop CS4 does cause crashes. I can vouch for that too. When it happens, the first instinct is almost always to assume that something is wrong with the computer and start from there. Comments to this effect are prominent in many threads. It is also Adobe's prevalent approach. So people experiencing these problems will tend not to post on these forums. Statements like 'because there are only a few posts, a significant number of people are not experiencing [these] problems' are therefore unfounded. There simply has not been time yet for people to resolve potential hardware/system problems.
    In my case, I started experiencing unexplained crashed with CS3 in July (see below) but it was only when Adobe admitted that they could be partly to blame that I posted my experiences (elsewhere) on this forum.
    Anyway, to cut a long story short, I have installed Photoshop CS4 on a newly reformatted HDD containing a fresh clean installation of Windows XP/SP3, fully patched, with everything working hunky dory, and no legacy installations of Photoshop or other CS software to worry about. All the same PS CS4 keeps crashing. The symptoms are unexplained total freeze ups occurring at random. I may get several hours use, sometimes a lot less, before I am forced to reboot and start all over again. Certainly the ability to do any useful work is severely compromised, and yes, the first inclination is to blame the hardware or system installation.
    The thing is I had been chasing a similar, probably related, problem with CS3 (possibly caused by cloning my system drive, see http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b6bd8d/ ) while Photoshop was still activated, so I have had several months head start over anyone who may now be experiencing similar problems with CS4. As a result, Dell, whose support has been great throughout, have replaced just about every component under the hood of my PC, certainly everything that could be causing a problem. (GPU, CPU, memory, MB, PSU, disk controller, disk cables...). As a result, I am running a virtually brand new computer. Hardware and system problems have been all but eliminated. I have all the latest drivers for everything. It is virtually a brand new computer!
    Yet PS/CS4 keeps crashing for no reason that can be established. Adobe have given me lots of homework to do to try to find out what affects it or remedies there are. It is all very tedious, but so far, nothing...
    I am coming to the conclusion that there must be something intrinsically wrong with PS/CS4 that makes it incompatible with some systems and software installations, but not necessarily because of any fault with the latter. I have to say that, after initially trying to push me away, Adobe are being very helpful and clearly want (need?) to get to the bottom of this. The trouble is that when the system locks up, it is completely and utterly paralysed, so any diagnostic and error reporting systems are inoperative. This suggests something beneath or beyond Windows, and, if it is not hardware, this points the finger of blame squarely at the activation software, which uses rootkit technology. (Would this be the same on a Mac, I wonder?)
    For the record, my system is a Dell Precision 370 desktop with Dell/Phoenix BIOS A08, 3.2GHz Pentium 4 CPU, Intel 925X chipset, 2MB ECC SDRAM, Nvidia Quadro FX3450 graphics, 2x Seagate 146MB Cheetah 5.5k disks (SCSI) in non-RAID configuration. From the limited experience I have had, it seems perfectly capable of running the software (apart from when it crashes, of course.)

  • Photoshop CS4 Lag Problems

    Hi All,
    I'm having a frustrating problem.
    I purchased the 17", 2.8GHz, 500gb 7200rpm, 4gb Mac (no problems with this drive after having it exchanged). This is my first Mac and I was excited about receiving a powerful machine compared to my 2-year-old windows based machine.
    I use CS4 extensively, mainly Photoshop and InDesign and in Photoshop, I'm noticing that the performance isn't great at all - in fact it's worse than my windows machine. When I drag a marquee window I find that progress across the page is slow, when I move items by using the arrow keys on the keyboard I can hold the arrow down for seconds then let go and watch the object move as if by itself.
    I'm really not used to performance of this type in CS4 and it hinders the speed at which I can work.
    I have tried allocating the maximum amount of ram (in this case 3gb due to the 32-bit limit) and have altered the number of cache levels and tested. None of these solutions is helping.
    At the moment I have 115gb free on the 465gb hard drive but don't expect that that should be the problem.
    Is anyone else having similar problems and, if so, have you managed to solve them?
    The problem doesn't occur in other CS4 programs such as InDesign or Illustrator.  I have uninstalled the Photoshop component and reinstalled but this hasn't helped.
    Many thanks in advance.

    You are not the first one to post a CS4 Lag issue on the net - just to tell you that you're not alone
    It could be a Graphics Card problem, that probably will be solved eventually during upcoming upgrades - but I don't know exactly what kind of card in in your machine, but from your description it sounds like you bought a MacbookPro, which will probably have a NVDIA Geforce 9400 card mountet.
    Here's a list of testet card and link to driver updates.
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405711.html
    Hope you might solve the problem that way - now that you've already tried resetting your preferences - else you could always hope for a better suggestion from someone else on the thread,
    Torben.
    PS: You could try to turn of the Enable OpenGL Drawing in Performance section of preferences.

  • Photoshop CS4 Crashing Problem

    I recently  lost my main desktop and my backup. Neither are repairable, so I've had to switch to backup number 2. This is an '05 Dell Optiplex GX280 small desktop, with 1GB memory (soon to be 4), a 160GB hard drive, a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz CPU with Intel 82915G/GV/910GL integrated graphics ( I think it's 128 M) and a 210 W  PSU. The GX280 is basically an office computer.
    I didn't bother to load CS5 which was itchy on my previous desktop, but I did load CS4. Although it loaded smoothly, and usually opened w/o problem, it always crashes at or before the first operation I perform, regardless of what it is. I did install the updates. I have CS4 Extended, so I tried the complete install and the bare bones install, without difference. I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, always deactivating first.  I suspect the graphics since I got a "Display driver problem, GPU enhancement disabled" message once opening, but the program didn't crash until I tried to perform an operation, or save something I worked on.
    From what I can tell, graphic card upgrade possibilities are very limited, although the specs do mention a PCI Expressx16 DVI card option. It doesn't look like upgrading the PSU is possible. The community thinks this is a Dell unique PSU .
    I installed CS2 and it works flawlessly. Upgrading  to a new comp in the near future isn't an option..saving my pennies (or card limit!!) though. I can muddle thru on CS2, but I'll really miss CS4. Any CS4 workarounds suggest themselves?  I'm not adverse to spending a few bucks on a new graphics card if that will do the trick either.
    Thanks,Ed

    No worries, Ed, Bill and I get along very well. 
    Computers usually have VERY specific memory requirements, so you'll want to make sure you're looking at memory that exactly matches the needs of the system.  Some memory suppliers like Kensington (or was that Kingston?) have configurators on their web pages to help with that task.
    Did you make a typo?  If you're talking about a nVidia geForce 6200, that card is ancient and not advised for Photoshop use.  It gets only a 57 on the benchmark at this web site:  http://www.videocardbenchmark.net
    Look for a card that benchmarks at least 500 or higher.

  • Photoshop cs4 installation problems

    hi im having big problems getting Photoshop on and off of my mac book iv tried to uninstall it (i did it complete wrong by dragging and dropping it in to the trash i now know that’s not the way) iv put a post on the mac web site and was told to do this,
    "You won't be able to install CS4 until is is properly uninstalled. In the Utilities folder, you'll find the folder "Adobe Installers". There will be an alias in there named per the Adobe software you installed. Double click that to launch it and start the uninstall process. You'll get a list of software you can put check boxes in to remove from the hard drive. There's also a Select All button at the top.
    This may or may not work since you already manually removed some of the items the uninstaller will be looking for. If it appears to finish, then try installing PS CS4 again.
    The blunt approach is to use Adobe's Clean Script tool. This will remove anything to do with any piece of CS4 files from the hard drive. You will definitely be able to reinstall after running it. Be aware though that it will remove ALL CS4 software on the hard drive. InDesign, Flash Pro, Photoshop, etc. You don't get to pick and choose."
    non of this worked  and when i put the disk in it brings up the setup program but wont accept the serial number and when i try to install the trial version it asks for the disk to be inserted which is all ready in the disk tray iv got no idea what to do can any one help me please

    Can anyone help me with this?
    Richard

    Welcome to the forum.
    Looks like you are on an iMac. To help others help you, can you post the specs of your system?
    I was about to post links to a bunch of troubleshooting articles, but they were written for PC's so I dobut that any would apply here.
    With the important data, someone is very likely to see a potential problem and help you.
    In general terms, most problems sort out this way:
    System
    Assets
    Project/Sequence settings
    Those given, the exact detail will get you closer to resolution.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
