CS4 on Vista 64

Is anyone out there running AI CS4 on Vista 64bit OS? If so can you relate any issues?
Thanks
DJO

I am. Only issue I have is some odd Windows messages on opening and closing the program ("No disk!" on opening, and some jargon-filled thing on closing).
I just click past these, and everything seems fine.

CS4 on Vista 64-Bit Sys with a BMD Card

Installed CS4 on Vista 64-Bit sys with a BMD HD card.
However, CS4 does not see the BMD presets, etc., so the only options I have are those Adobe includes with CS4. I uninstalled the BMD drives, etc. and reinstalled a number of times. The BMD presets are not installed in CS4's "settings" folder or anywhere else.
It may be that the current BMD driver is not CS4-capable, because I manually placed the BMD presets in the CS4 settings folder, and they weren't "seen."
Any thoughts from those folks running a BMD card?
Thanks,
Bill Buchanan

Albert, there are no BMD drivers for CS4 aviable yet. You must wait for new drivers from BMD.

"Unable to create font" error when starting After Effects CS4 (Windows Vista)

Hi all
I have read a hundred posts about the "unable to create font" message that appears when running After Effects in both CS4 and CS5 versions.
On MAC, it seems that installing the Verdana fonts family is enough.
On my PC running Windows Vista, i tried unsuccessfully :
- uninstalled and reinstalled After Effects
- installed all the fonts of the Adobe Font Folio v11
- looked for the "AdobeFnt.lst" to delete it, found no such file in my whole hard drive
- changed my system language to English (USA)
Other CS4 softwares work.
What can i do?

See this page for some additional information about this error.
> I forgot to mention that i also installed the 9.0.2 update. Didn't work either!
You should also install the After Effects CS4 (9.0.3) update.

MXF clips do not open in CS3 of CS4 (windows vista ultimate)

I have Sony DXCAM's MXF's which I can not import in Premiere (neither CS3 nor CS4). I did convert the original MXF's using Sony's DXCAM software.
Adobe claims it supports MXF files. Another editing company which uses CS3 can import XMF's using a Windows XP machine. I work on Vista Ultimate.
I have an itch that I am missing a vital codec of somekind, but I can not find out why my copies of CS3 and CS4 of Premiere Pro do not allow me to import MXF files. From within the Media browser in CS4 it results in the same disappointing result. It doesn't open.
When I tried to open one MXF file in CS3 the program crashes and forces me to close it. In CS4 I get an error message after importing which reads; "Unsupported format or damaged file."
Any help is very much appreciated, as I need to start my editing ASAP>
Thx!
Jan.
System specs short:
Windows Vista Ultimate
PC Intel Core2 Duo CPU
T7800 @ 2.60Ghz
No Additional codecs installed.

Hi Jim,
Thanks for your feedback. The first thing I tried was to import the MXF packages (I don't see lone MP4's) into Premiere. That did not work. So I exported the MXF files using Sony's U1 player/recorder.
I think its a Vista and/or codec problem, as my friend who workes on an XP machine is able to open MXF's in CS3.

Photoshop CS4 on Vista not seeing 4 gigs of RAM

I am running Photoshop as part of the CS4 Suite on a bootcamped intel mac pro towers using Vista Business with 4 gigs of Memory. We are running in 32 bit mode because of the Apple screw up with Carbon 64 so that both sides of the house windows and mac match.
Photoshop is currently only seeing 1639 MB of the RAM instead of the performance on the Mac of about 3000 MB
So does anyone know what is going on here and how I can get Photoshop and or Vista to recognize most if not all of the RAM installed on these machines.
Specs are below...
Adobe Photoshop Version: 11.0 (11.0x20080919 [20080919.r.488 2008/09/19:02:00:00 cutoff; r branch])
Operating System: Windows Vista 32-bit

Physical processor count: 4
Processor speed: 2793 MHz
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Video Mode: 1680 x 1050 x 4294967296 colors
Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
Driver Version: 7.15.11.8048
Built-in memory: 2037 MB
Free memory: 1178 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 1640 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 55 %
Image cache levels: 4
Application folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\
Temporary file path: C:\Users\MGD\AppData\Local\Temp\
Photoshop scratch has async I/O enabled
Scratch volume(s):
C:\, 349.4G, 324.0G free
Primary Plug-ins folder: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Plug-ins\
Additional Plug-ins folder: not set

While Jim's suggestion is the only solution to addressing all your system's memory, I am surprised you only have 2037 MB (built-in) memory. Perhaps you are running processes or have devices attached which are eating into your memory by as much as .5 MBs?
I also have 4GBs installed ram. Right off the top, Windows strips 1 GIG to reserve space for Video Cards and other devices. I lose another .5 MB to the system.
This is a well-known limitation of 32-bit systems and like Jim says, there is little to be done except to upgrade to Vista 64. You can remove devices and stop processes and services, but you'll not ever see . . . at very best . . . 3.5 GBs. (Well, you might by using the /PAE switch, but that is more risk than I'm willing to play with.)
This is what my system looks like:
Operating System: Windows Vista (Ultimate) 32-bit
Version: 6.0 Service Pack 1
System architecture: Intel CPU Family:6, Model:7, Stepping:7 with MMX, SSE Integer, SSE FP, SSE2
Physical processor count: 4
Processor speed: 3666 MHz
Video Card Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation
Video Card Renderer: GeForce GTX 280/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL Drawing: Enabled.
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280
Video Mode: 1920 x 1200 x 4294967296 colors
Video Card Driver: nvd3dum.dll,nvwgf2um.dll
Driver Version: 7.15.11.7740
Built-in memory: 2557 MB
Free memory: 1281 MB
Memory available to Photoshop: 1640 MB
Memory used by Photoshop: 60 %
Image cache levels: 4
Thus far, I've not encountered any problem using a 32-bit version. That is partly because I've not done anything with PS or other applications which might cause problems. But, as I do more with the Master Suite I expect that situation to change. Then, I'll upgrade to Vista 64.
I'm kinda keeping my eyes and ears open about Windows 7. Unless I encounter performance problems, I'd rather wait for the next version. According to rumors, the earliest date would be the end of the year, if not early 2010.

HELP! Cursor problem in Photoshop CS4 on Vista laptop

i downloaded the trial version of Photoshop CS4, and as soon as i installed it i had this problem.
when i use the tablet, it would be fine and prefectly responsive
however, if i walk away from the laptop for about 20secs or more, i just cant seem to get any response on photoshop when i use the tablet
i am not sure what is the real cause of the problem but its a constant annoyance, and the only way i can solve it, is to exit photoshop, and start it up again.
only to have the same thing occur if i pause to do something else or alt+tab to check my email or whatever...
i can confirm that theres nothing wrong with my tablet as it works for my other programs like Manga Studio EX or MS paint(lol)
so i have NO idea why it is so buggy on Photoshop CS4.
photoshop and vista just doesnt seem to get along... last year i bought photoshop CS3, installed it on my laptop(vista) and...bam... it just couldnt work.
i guess ive learnt from my mistake and downloaded the trial version this time...
i would appreciate any reply to my question

i've uploaded a screenshot to try to help explain whats my problem :/
the left circle shows when i just opened PS, it works fine,
the right circle is the only type of response i can get after i come back to PS
and yes i am using ONLY the paint tool throughout.
incase you're wondering, yes... i restart photoshop everytime i have the problem to get this far... which is really fustrating...
hoping anyone can help
oh and i wrote the blue stuff in MS paint btw, so it really isnt a problem with the tablet

Unable to install trial version of PS CS4 on Vista

Another CS4 and Vista x64 GPU SLi Support Question

After reading some of the forums I could not really find a clear answer on the following:
I am running Vista x64 Ultimate on a QX6850 system with 8GB of RAM. I also have 2x XFX8800GT graphics cards running in SLi with the latest Nvidia drivers (181.20). Dxdiag testing provides no errors.
The GPU support features in CS4 x64 (and x32) is greyed out with the text wording of no support in Photoshop standard. Based on some of the threads posted here, I tried enabling or disabling some settings in the Nvidia control panel, but the only one that seem to enable the GPU support is to deactivate SLi completely (which sort of defeats the purpose in 3D graphics).
Does CS4 support an SLi setup? If not, will there be any difference in performance with SLi disabled and using the CS4 GPU support vs the other way around?
Thank you for your assistance.

Negitive. It is written on the CS4 requirements section. Only 1 GPU.

Error in Illustrator CS4 on Vista 64: "Can't finish previewing. There isn't enough memory. ID = - 108

Please help: I have searched for this error and would appreciate any help or feedback. I am not the Illustrator expert. I build fast PC's, not design on them. I would especially like to know where a complete error code list resides.
Freshly assembled:
Intel Core i7
2 x 3GB DDR3
3 SSD HDD's
9800GTX+
I've done all the tips and tricks I can find. With paging file, and w/o. Scratch disk and w/o. Fresh reboot on PC, CS4 fully updated, Vista 64bit business fully updated. Aero off along with all visual stuff.
This PC is built to perform but will error out and I can't find the cause.
To create the error:
1. open new 'print document'
2. Create text: I use Blackoak Std 72 pt. Pick a word to type. I use 'Hello'.
3. Select and choose Effect > 3D > Extrude & Bevel. Set Extrude Depth to 500, Bevel: Complex 4, and Height to 40.
4. Object > Expand Appearance
5. Object > Path > Offset Path. Run 3 times one of each type (Miter, Round, Bevel). At this point there should be a lot of paths.
6. Window > Pathfinder > Unite
Total RAM usage never exceeds 3GB on the machine.
Thanks for the help.

Hello RippinPC,
Wade and I we know that it is the Critical Memory Bug of CS4. Nothing wrong with your computer.

Just to mention a FRACTION of the many posts complaining about the Critical Memory Bug of CS4.
But do not worry, Adobe will sell you the CS5 (coming this April I think) instead of providing an update.

Bridge in CS4 with Vista

This problem has been driving me nuts, however I came across what I think is the answer.
I have CS4 and Windows Vista. If I have CS4 open and then open Bridge and right click on an thumbnail in Bridge and select 'open in ACR', or 'control+R', then the dreaded 'Camera Raw is not enabled' message appears.
However, if I do not open CS4 but go directly into Bridge, then click on a thumbnail, ACR opens automatically. If I press shift and click on a thumbnail then CS4 opens. It seems to me that it should be the other way round, 'shift+click' should open ACR and 'click' should open CS4. However this is what happens so I am learning to live with it.
Has anyone got the right answer?
If Adobe staff read this please send an update which will reverse this, therefore correcting it, or perhaps change your instructions round so that they match the reality. In any case let me know.
Mike

No I haven't. How do I do that?
I'm downloading some updates from the Adobe Updater, one of them was Camera RAW, so maybe that's it.

32-bit Photoshop CS4 on Vista won't start

I'm having a problem starting the 32-bit version of Photoshop CS4 running under Vista Home Premium. I installed the patch (11.0.1) but it didn't help.
The problem I've having is when I start the program it indicates it's searching for plug-ins. It does that for a while then stops responding. This occurs only on the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version works fine.
Has anyone had this problem and successfully resolved it?
Thanks.

In the "start in" field it says "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\"
That's the same syntax used for the 64-bit version, which works.
I appreciate your help, but I don't think that's the issue either. Also, I uninstalled CS3. That didn't seem to help either.

Favicon plugin for CS4 on Vista

I tried the much mentioned and acclaimed favicon plugin for Photoshop
from www.telegraphics.com.au. It did not work.
I am on Vista (Win 64-bits) so I tried the Vista work around. Still no
joy.
Anybody any idea of how to get a good favicon from an image using
Photoshop CS4?
Thanks.
Groet,
Adriana

Indeed, it does show up in the 32-bit version! Probably has been there
all the time I was tearing my hair out uninstalling and reinstalling...
Thanks a lot, Steve.

Is there a comparitive study of PS CS4 on Vista vs. XP?

Hello,
I have recently gotten a new computer which includes installation discs for both Windows XP and Vista Ultimate.
The equipment is as follows:
Dell XPS i630 computer
Intel Core Duo CPU [email protected]
3.00 GB of RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series Display Adapters
Is there currently a consensus about the superiority of one OS over another with regard to Photoshop CS4?
I've read a range of opinion about this question but I still don't feel particularly enlightened on the subject.
Is it generally agreed that Vista is an inferior choice for extended OpenGL functionality?
I would greatly appreciate whatever recommendations you can offer about informative articles on this subject, or opinions based on the first hand experience of PS CS4 users.
Thanks for your consideration,
cobaltgreen

No question, 64-bit Vista has loads of advantages over 32-bit XP and no disadvantages, except some people don't like the look of Vista. In fact it is a superior OS but got off to a bad start.
You should get a free upgrade to Windows 7 anyhow.
There is absolutely no problem with Vista and OpenGL – it's the video card that matters, not the OS.

CS4 on vista, deactivate in safe mode

I have a friends laptop that has a very damaged installation of Vista home premium. It is so messed up that although it can start in safe mode it is easier to just remove her files and format the disk.
She has CS4 design premium on it so somehow I assume i have to start it to deactivate it so it doesn't swallow her activation code when we put it back on. As the installer wont work in safe mode, is there any way to do this, or deactivate this machine manually?
I am not currently sure if I can get networking to work, or if I am keen to try as I suspect there may have been a virus on this machine.

it's a local very plain Server on the University with only plain Text messages- when i booked a group on next startup there are not available ...
but there was very old stuff in - more than 10 Yeaers - and many postings - more than 500MB - so its ok ..
there was a version update 2 ?? years ago from where it was not working ...
after deleting the old stuff it seems to work ...
