CS4 extended file open problem in Windows 7

I am having a little spot of trouble. I switched from Windows to Mac recently and got myselfa copy of Photoshop CS5. I used to run Photoshop CS4 on a 32bit Windows 7 build and it works swell. Not a hitch. I've since moved CS4 onto a 64bit Windows 7 build and... it crashes when I open an image. Any image I've tried opening causes CS4 to crash.
I wonder if any of you would have a solution. I guess the only other piece of information I can talk about is that there's a version of Photoshop Elements 8 already installed on the system but I don't know if that would conflict or not.

Since you're probably still familiar enough with Windows to do maintenance, it sounds like what you're running into may be a display driver problem with OpenGL on your system...
Try this as a workaround:  Go into Photoshop, choose Edit - Preferences - Performance, and uncheck [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing, then restart Photoshop.
If this works around the problem, visit the web site of the maker of your video card and locate the display driver that matches your hardware and Windows 7 x64 OS.  Download and install, then go back into Photoshop and reverse the above change (remembering to restart Photoshop after).
Good luck.

  • CS4 crashing when opening on PC Windows 7

    I have used CS4 as a companion programme with LR4 for some time. It is the last updated version and provides all I need as far as tools are concerned. Today CS4 refuses to open, invoking a Windows message claiming to be looking for the cause of failure. Before I uninstall and reinstall the CS4, what precautionary measures should I take to avoid unexpected problems in the future? (Such as copy registration or verification). My anti-virus is up-to-date and working in the background.
    Thank you.

    the latest iTunes version 9.0.3.15 and it just will not close down. Every time I click on the X to close it or even go to File and then select close, it re openes!!
    Do you have any third-party add-ons/plugins installed for your iTunes, ajay? If so, what are the called and what version do you have?

  • File Open problem

    After updating to the most recent security I have the following problems with Text edit and MS Word.
    I cannot use File Open to access a file. I get the spinning ball and application not responding. I can double-click the text or Word file and they will open.
    Does this make sense? Anyone have a suggestion?

    It's more likely a configuration problem in the server itself, it must be configured to open that format for some reason.
    You could create a download server which reads the file from disk and outputs it to the browser using the content-type "application/octet-stream". That will force a download box. Search this forum, it is asked almost every day.

  • CS4 .indd file association problem

    Hi folks,
    I'm running a PC with XP and recently upgraded my software from CS3 to CS4. My computer has stopped associating .indd files with InDesign. I've tried to set the file association manually using the Open With command though InDesign doesn't appear as an available program. When i browse for InDesign and try to set it as the default program it still ignores it. The only way to get a file to open is to go into InDesign first and then do File->Open.
    Any tips would be appreciated,
    Cheers 

    This is a long way away from the original post date, but maybe someone else will have the same issues...
    (taken from another post)
    So I went into the Registry, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Photoshop.exe\shell\open\command, and changed the (Default) from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Photoshop.exe" "%1" (so changed CS5 to CS6) - and now I see 'Adobe Photoshop CS6' in my 'Open with' list when right-clicking an image...
    Follow the same steps to re-associate files from other Adobe programs.
    The issue is when you install, let's say CS5 and CS6 at the same time, then remove the first install, your associations are uninstalled also.

  • How to make WMV files open in in Windows Media Player not Flip4Mac/QT

    I just installed Safari 4. With Safari 3 when I clicked on a WMV file on a web site it would automatically open in Windows Media Player. I liked this arrangement just fine. When I installed Safari 4, instead of this happening WMV files started to download instead. I installed Flip4Mac and now they play in QuickTime but I don't like the controls... i.e. I cannot adjust the volume except from the keyboard.
    Is there any way to make WMV files open in Windows Media Player the way they used to in Safari 3 instead of either downloading or opening in QuickTime with Flip4Mac?

    Not very easy but it could be done.
    If the file opens in QuickTime (via Flip4Mac) you can use the Movie Inspector window to "find" the URL. Then open that URL directly in WMP.
    You could also dig through the page source code or use the Safari Activity window to find the URL.

  • E7 file transfer problem in Windows 7

    Hi,
    I have trouble transferring files in Explorer in WIndows 7. When trying to copy a video file to the mass storage Video folder in the phone the copy fails every time. When using another machine with Windows XP it works ok. Is there a specific problem with the user rights in Win7? (running admin rights does not help)

    Ok then I haven't tried file transfers on win7 machines yet will check if the same happens to me, thought you were trying to tranfer a bigger size file. Have you tried transferring using Ovi suite btw?.
    If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

  • HTML Container - pdf-file opens a new window

    I use the ITS Webservice PZ04.
    There is included a html container who shows the pdf-file inside this area.
    Now I have the effect, that this pdf-file will opena a new window, but not inside the html container!?
    First action before I have had this effect was the MS question-alert 'How you will open this file' Open/Download/Cancel - you know. - it never done before -
    What can I do to open my pdf-file inside the html container? It runs some times.
    Thanks!

    thank you for your answer, but it wasn't the solution.
    I don't open the iView in a new window.
    I open the iView (as IAC WebService via ITS) and the applacation generated a html container with pdf file!
    And this pdf-file opens in a new window.
    The Application runs up to now very good.
    I think any value was changed and I don't know which.
    It's possible the modification solved under MS or adobe!?
    Solution: First Deinstallation and then Installation of Acrobate Reader.

  • CP5 Button WIdget FILE Open problems

    Hi,
    I'm running CP5.  I want to have a button that exists on ALL slides, so I used the button widget.  I want it to open a file when clicked.  I keep getttnig "file does not exist errors".  Now I know the file exists because to test, I also put a regular button on slide 1 and had it open the same file, so the file is there and can be opened.  All other aspects of the button widget seem to work (open URL, go to next, etc), but I can't get the file open to work.  What am I missing here?
    Help....
    Thanks,
      Lori

    Are you pointing to another CP-file? You have to point to the cptx-file, not to the published SWF.

  • Photoshop CS4 extended stopped opening fully (no tools, won't open files).  Re-installation didn't solve the problem.

    Photoshop CS4 stopped opening fully...(It seems to open, the menu is there but no tools and files won't open)...  I re-installed from a downloaded file and the same thing is happening.  Any suggestions?
    Many many thanks,
    Inga

    When you uninstall, check "remove settings", then run the CS cleaner tool.

    Then reinstall

  • .ics files open in new window instead of downloading

    Hello -
    When I click to download a linked .ics (calendar) file, instead of downloading the linked .ics file, it opens the contents of the file in a new browser window (and all of the info is garbled with extra characters).
    When I right click to save the linked file, it lets me download it.
    Any idea why this might be happening?

    The Work Protect modes do not seem to affect the 'Open in a headerless portal window' iViews which are opening with the banner and TLN.
    For ESS Appraisal document, I was able to fix the problem of the external window having the Banner and TLN by using transaction lpd_cust.
    The problem still exists for our Business Packages MSS, SRM, Course Administration, and Instructor/Tutor.
    Does anyone know how to correct the 'headerless portal window' so that it does not include the Theme banner and TLN.
    Thanks,

  • CS4 Mac - File Dialog Moves Flash Window Down

    I have Flash CS4 10.0.1.545 Mac with OS X 10.5.6:
    I have the standard Workspace and when I select Import to import an image, the open file dialog in OS X slides down from the top of the stage and the entire Flash window that is holding my timeline and stage moves down about 100 pixels. I then import, then I click the top of the window to move it back up and it snaps back instantly as soon as I click on it before I drag it up.
    Anyone else getting this on the Mac?

    The only way to avoid this is to resize the dialog so that it's so short it doesn't go down past the Dock. Since this dialog spawns at the top of the stage, putting the timeline at the bottom instead of the top helps.

  • PDF files open in new window.

    Whenever I click the "Open" button in Reader 9, (Windows 7 - 64-bit),
    it opens the document in a new instance of Reader, which of course,
    makes the menu item "Window" useless. How can I get docs to open
    in the same window? I don't see any setting for this in the preferences.

    "Make sure the Open new windows in a new tab instead is checked" - it is.
    issue still not solved,
    ps if you click on a pdf on the above link do you get the same problem or is it just me..?
