CS4 64bit on windows8

I have Migrated from a WindowsXP Pro to a Lenovo X1 with 12GB RAM and 64Bit i7.  I own CS4 Extended Suite.  This relates only to Photoshop CS4 and when I install on Windows8.1, it simply shows up in right corner and with the left side of the photoshop screen and never fully loads.
Any thoughts?  I have all other apps in the suite working correctly.   Cant I run 64bit?
Please help.
Thank you.
David

Have you used the CS4 Clean Utility before your re-install? What happens is that Adobe Drive is messing up things, so I recommend to re-install without it. This little tip may also help:

    It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

    i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

  • Photoshop CS4 64bit  Slow on a Dell Covet M6400

    hello all,
    i have patiently read all the posts on the forum about the slow issues and supossedly how to fix them (kapersky etc..). I have yet to be able to configure photoshop cs4 64bit to run smoothly..
    here is my config...
    Dell Precision Covet m6400
    Vista 64
    Quad-core qx9300
    8gb ram
    nvidia quadro fx 3700m 1gb
    2x320gb 7.2k drives raid 0
    cs4 64 should run like a dream on this machine... it doesn't..
    What problems i get.
    General refresh issues, lag, panels done't minimise maximise smoothly, can't drag layers smoothly from one document tab to another. When i try and close the document tabs they take ages to close. When i open nvidia control panel in tandem to having photoshop open to see whats going on the animated logo jitters and does not rotate smoothly when i move my mouse over it...
    What i have done to try and solve the issues.
    Uninstalled and re installed numerous times.
    Uninstalled and re installed Dell's nvidia driver and other drivers from laptopvideo2go.
    Unistalled eset node 32 64bit
    Changed gpu setting in performance menu...
    CS3 runs ok though...
    please please please does anybody have any ideas on what may be the cause..?
    many many thanks i'd be more than happy to test anything you have to try and sort out these issues. the 3700m is nvidias flagship mobile workstation card and photoshop should rock on it...

  • Bridge CS4 only opens PS CS4 64bit -- How to change to 32 bit?

    Opening a RAW file in Bridge CS4 automatically opens Photoshop CS4-64bit (via Camera RAW). Is there any way to have it automatically open the 32-bit version instead?

    I'd like the option to choose EITHER the 32-bit OR the 64-bit version for RAW or for JPGs. It is not obvious how to do this.

  • Installing CS4 64bit in Windows 7 to a custom drive letter

    Hi all,
    Currently a CS3 user on XP SP3 but wanting to retire my old computer and build a new i7 machine running on Windows 7 64bit and will upgrade to CS4 so I can run 64bit mode and take advantage of GPU features plus more than 4gigs of memory!
    Downloaded the CS4 trial to take a look at the program and specifically the detailed install instructions and was shocked to read that CS4 64bit can only be installed on the default (C:\) drive???  Is this really so?
    I had planned to use one of the new superfast Solid State drives of around 80Gb capacity to run Win 7 only, no programs on C:\ just Win 7.  I currently use this method in my XP machine with a C:\ drive just for the O/S and a P:\ drive for programs and of course a dedicated scratch disk.
    Why is CS4 64bit the only program I can see (from my list of stuff I'll need) to insist on being installed with the O/S?  Is there any way round this? I need to get this sorted in my own mind beofre ordering the various HDDs to make the new machine as I may have to revert to a 500Gb C:\ drive if this is the case.
    Thanks for any help you can give this 64bit virgin lol
    Dave

    Thanks for the replies guys,
    Mylenium,  I'm going to play Mr Dense here for a post   You are saying this was no different for CS3 etc?  I'm on CS3 (32bit) and it's installed on my P:\ drive but I recognise there are parts of CS3 also on C:\.  You're saying this is no different for CS4 64bit?
    i.e. I could install the main program on P:\ and have the shared stuff on C:\ - i.e. situation normal?  I don't have to have it all on C:\ ?
    Zeno, call me a wuss but I learnt early on with Windows to keep stuff apart!  My last two PCs had multiple drives and I like to keep the O/S on it's own drive in case I need to reinstall/repair etc.  I left One dirve does it all behind a few years back and a multi drive approach has served me well.
    Hudechrome, thanks for that link - heavy going!  I'll have a good read.  I don't want to jump into something with issues, I'm just trying (aren't we all!) to put together the components that will make PS run as fast and efficient as it can.
    Thanks all

  • CS4 64bit Bridge slideshow will not end with ESC key

    I have just installed CS4 64bit on a new computer with Windows 7 64bit. I've done the update so now Bridge sees the CR2 files from my Canon 5D MkII but when I go into slideshow...which I use extensively for quickly reviewing images, I cannnot end the slideshow with the normal ESC key stroke... Which really kills the utility of slideshow. Any suggestions as to getting this to work or other ways to close slideshow? Now the only option is to croll through all the images in the folder at which point slideshow will close.

    I can't help that Adobe gave me a download of 64bit CS4...but that is what they did...so obviously they have a 64bit version of CS4.
    Sorry, as a Mac user PSCS 5 was the first version in 64 bit, PSCS4 was only 64 bit for Windows, However, like Curt stated, Bridge CS6 is the first 64 bit version for both platforms.
    But, your suggestion to check the function of the ESC key in other applications was dead on...It does not work, so Windows 7 needs a bug fix.
    Or your keyboard itself needs a spring clean...

  • Plugin Dialog not visible in Photoshop CS4 64bit

    Hi all,
    I am new in the world of photoshop plugins. I am using adobe photoshop CS4 64bit environment.
    I have converted a 32bit plugin into a 64bit plugin. I have succesfully loaded the plugin .
    Now my problem is when i click on the pluginName from the menu list, my plugin dialog is not visible. I am using DialogBoxParam API to show the
    dialog within the  "DoUI" method but this API(DialogBoxParam) is returning an error value. I have used the GetLastError and got the below mentioned
    error:
    Error 1813: The specified resource type can not be found in the image file.
    The 32bit plugin is running succesfully with this dialog resource. I am using the same .rc file which i am using in 32 bit plugin.
    Please help me, it is very urgent for me..
    Thanks in advance.. Any type of help is highly appreciated. If anybody has any problem in understanding my problem please revert me back i will try to

    Hi,
    I think i have not described my problem well..
    I'll try it again to make it more clear..
    I have a 32 bit filter plugin, which is running successfully on Photoshop CS4 32-bit environment. Now i want my plugin to be run on CS4 64bit environment as well. When i tried to run my plugin in the 64-bit environment with all the 64-bit settings which are required, my plugin is not loaded succesfully. Then i used a sample 64-bit plugin(Dissolve) and put my plugin code inside dissolve plugins code. Changed the dissolve.r file with my plugin .r file and dissolve.rc file with my plugin .rc file. Now my plugin is loading succesfully but when i click the plugin from filter menu list, my plugin dialog is not shown. I  do not understand why is it happening? Plz provide some information.

  • Photoshop CS4 64bit RAM detection issue

    Hi all,
    I have Dell Precision M6400 with 12Gb of RAM and Photoshop CS4 (as a part of master collection).
    Here is my problem:
    Figure 1 (system spec showing my 12Gb of ram)
    Figure 2 (showing ps cs4 64bit system info read)
    Figure 3 (where did all my RAM GO?! only 2963?!)

    I called dell support and they resloved the issue
    Problem was that i had maximum memory set in boot options (msconfig / boot / advanced options) to 4000mb. Still not sure how that was set or if that was part of bios update (reset).
    Thanks!

  • Where can I get Photoshop CS4 64bit?

    I've seen a lot of people talking about Photoshop CS4 64bit native code, but I can't figure out where to get it.
    I'm currently using Windows XP, but plan to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64bit in a week or two.  I'm going to reload all my programs from scratch and would like to start with the 64bit version of Photoshop CS4.
    I purchased the standard Photoshop CS4 CD from Adobe, but I don't remember seeing anything about the 64bit version when I initially loaded the 32bit version on WinXP 32bit.  Maybe I didn't see anything because I don't have a 64bit system yet.
    I have Googled and looked for this information in Adobe's Knowledgebase with no luck...
    Thanks...

  • CS4 64bit running on

    Has anyone running Win7 64bit and CS4 64bit .. we are evaluating this on a 64bit quad core processer running 4gig RAM.
    Before we go down this path we'd like to know if others have run this .. what have they discovered etc ...

    Jen,
    We use VMWare ESX/Sphere for virtualization and that works great, but only for relatively light tasks, like a print server, a file server, an Exchange server, a test server etc. and the main benefit is the easy system admin. For PR however, one needs all the resources one can get, so from that perspective running it in a virtual machine will be taxing it to the max, while your new system only has mediocre specs to start with. Only quad core and only 4 GB memory.
    Such a system will be slow with AVCHD material to start with, the encoding you need to do will take lots of time, you may not have a decent video card (servers often skimp on video cards and use integrated graphics, since there is no need for them in a server), which further reduces performance, you need to have full administrative rights to avoid problems and it means in fact that your server will be down during editing sessions. Not ideal I think.
    Hence my suggestion to look at a new system in my previous reply. Keep in mind that the budget model is intended for DV/HDV use, the economical model for AVCHD use and the warrior model for everything up to and including Red 4K.

  • Win7 Ultimate 64bit: PS CS4 64bit does not start

    Hello,
    on a fresh Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit I recently installed the whole CS4 Production Premium.
    PS CS4 starts properly but PS CS4 64bit only starts the License Agreement, when I hit 'I agree', the window disappears and nothing happens.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks!

    Go into msconfig, startup, and look for a check mark in Adobe CS4 service manager. I don't have the package you have I just have CS4 extended and it is there. This has to be checked in order for Flexnet copy protection to run.
    Go to services and look for 2 FLEXnet Licensing Service. One will say 64 for 64 bit and the other won't (32 Bit). ensure both are set to Manual. If the 64 bit is not manual right click on the startup type, Choose properties, then change to manual using the drop down window. If it is manual do just what I said but this time just start the service and close out. Now try to start the 64 bit CS4.

  • How to install PS CS4 64bit in a Dual Boot system

    Hi,
    I have just created a dual boot system.
    Dell XPS 600 3 gig of ram (soon to be 6 gig
    Windows XP Pro 32 bit
    Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
    The windows OS can not see above 2 gig (and that is a long story but believe me I have had it confirmed - even though a 32 bit system should be able to see up to 3.5 gig). That is why I created the dual boot (into Vista 64) OS.
    The Vista 64 bit OS CAN see the current 3 gig (soon to be 6 gig).
    Each has its own partition and I dual boot via a 3rd party BootIt NG
    Question:
    1. What is the proper way (if I even can do it) install PS CS4 on to the Vista 64 bit (in another partition) to take advantage of PS CS4 64?
    2. Do I have to delete the XP 32 bit version and reactivate?
    3. I do not use Bridge (or do I have to in order to get the 64 bit)? I have seen some threads here about using Bridge so I was wondering about that.
    4. I also have IL CS4, ID CS4 and plan to do the same. Is that possible?
    5. I know there is an issue with plugins so I will address that matter as it comes up. Hopefully, though the downloaded brushes will work ok in both the 32 and 64 bit envrionments.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bob

    Thanks for the responses. Perhaps more of an explanation as to what I have done is in order.
    I purchased this Dell XPS 600 XP Pro system some time ago. It was a "boomer" (powerful) system in its' day.
    I subsequently increased the Ram to 2gb. I also have a internal 160gb 10K (rpm) Raptor and and another internal WD 250bg (7500 rpm) HD. I drive 3 monitors with a Nvidia 6800 and a Nvidia Dual port 7800 Gt.
    So, all in all, the system is still (by today's standards) fairly robust.
    BUT, with PS CS4, I tried to up the Ram from my installed Windows XP Pro 2gb system to 3 gb (given that every spec in the world says a 32bit system can see a max of 3 to 3.5 gb).
    On my system. Wrong. It (the Windows XP My Computer Properties system would not see over 2 gb (even though BIOS said there was 3gb!) Additionally, BIOS said my board was capable of 64 bit processing.
    After hours with DELL tech support (what a waste), I just concluded I should make a Dual boot with Vista Home Premium 64 bit.
    I did, and Vista 64 does see the current 3gb in the system. I should add, I am going to make it an 8gb system and my memory will arrive from crucial.com tomorrow.
    So Bob, to address your comment. I started (2 years ago?) with Windows XP Pro 32 bit. I have a ton of applications (32 bitters) on the C drive now. But I want the extra addressing (AKA speed potential) capability of a 64bit system. In short, that is the reason for the Dual Boot.
    I just cannot burn the 32 bit bridge due to the number of 32 bit apps on it, but I can now utilize a 64 bit architecture for PS CS4, (and as I now am reading ID, and IL CS4 flavors)
    Hope I cleared things up.
    And as always, thanks
    Bob

  • Photoshop CS4 64bit crash at launch

    Afternoon everyone!  I know this might be a dead horse getting beaten again, but after searching the forums I couldn't find a situation that matches mine.
    I am currently running Photoshop CS4, latest update to 11.0.2.  Until about 2 days ago I was running 64bit version photoshop.  I came into work the next morning and the computer was completely hung.  I did a hard restart, and since then I can only use Photosop CS4 32bit.  Every time I try to launch 64bit Cs4, this is the windows crash error I get:

    I know this is not related to plugins, because I don't run plugins on my work computer.  In fact, the largest files I use are usually 3000x3000, and under 4-5mb.  I'm not pushing Photoshop at all.  Any ideas?
    I have tried doing a clean install 2x times with no luck.  I'm wondering if something is stuck in registry or old files from a previous install are causing this?  I have also made sure I'm updated with all my other related drivers:  ATI graphics card up to date, etc.
    Ideas?

    Generally speaking, you should see no errors (just a whole lot of informationals).  Probably the best thing is to just scan through the log using the time stamps to limit the entries to those that occurred around the time of the problem.
    Might be a good time to open up the computer and clean out the dust (e.g., gently with a vacuum and brush nozzle).  Overheating can reduce reliability.  Does the room get hot (e.g., because the A/C is turned off) at any time of the day?

  • Photoshop CS4 (64bit) - crash at startup

    OS: vista 64bit (all latest updates)
    nvidia 8800gts 512 (driver 180.48)
    8 gb RAM + latest mobo bios
    It was working totally fine then WHAM! I noticed it first when i minimized it to the taskbar to look for some other files on my desktop. now it suddenly doesn't want to start. the 'only' thing is that the pc went into hibernation while i was at lunch a few times this week (can't see that having an effect)
    I start it up and it crashes +/- after 8 seconds. EVERY time.
    - Tried using the "run as admin" = didn't work (tried it just in case)
    - tried changing a few settings in nvidia control panel = nada!
    - once i got it open within the 8 seconds, I turned off openGL completly = nada!
    - I've used the "DisallowOpenGLWindows_OFF.reg" just in case and that doesn't work either. (its a pretty recent GFX card)
    all other cs4 apps (master suite) are working fine!
    this exact same thing happened just before i reinstalled vista x64 about a month ago.
    anyone got this problem? any solutions?
    Pete

    Ok I've spent the last few hours going through ALL my custom fonts and trying to find what was causing the problem. I typed out all of the characters on my keyboard and cycled through my fonts from top to bottom.
    I'm a guitarist also, and I discovered the culprit to be guitar pros "Guitar Pro 5.ttf" - must be a glyph problem in the font that photoshop couldn't handle (as i said before...no problems with the rest of my CS4)....although the problem was the guitar pro font, photoshop kept crashing on other STANDARD installed fonts such as Arial, georgia, corbel....until i removed the guitar pro one. man this was a pain to locate!!!
    now the weirdest thing is it only started happening yesterday. both programs have been installed side by side for over a month without issue. what gives?
    photoshop SHOULD have a popup whenever this problem occurs (similar to illys missing font dialogue) for font exclusions if they stop it from running.
    saying something like:
    b "Photoshop CS4 has failed to load "name of font.ttf".
    Do you want to:
    - Add font to exclusion list?
    - uninstall the font?
    while I'm on the subject, is there a way to make the CS4 suite point at a font directory other than the default (C:\Windows\Fonts)?
    as I don't ever use those fonts in MS office or any other program. with the BONUS of not loading all these fonts at startup.
    /end of rant
