CS4 on Windows 8.1

I just installed windows 8.1 on a new desktop with Photoshop CS4 with the RAW 5.7 plugin, trying to work on Nikon 300S photo files.  I can not open the files and keep getting the following messsage "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document".  I am running the same setup on a 6 month old laptop with no problems what am I doing wrong?

Click on Help/about plugins/camera raw and make sure it says ACR 5.7.

  • Problem with Encore CS4 (and Windows 7, possibly)

    Greetings:
    Anybody else having this problem? First I'll get my system blood work out of the way. It's a brand new HP Pavillion.
    Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
    8GB RAM
    Over 700GB of FREE harddrive
    Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5 GHz
    Video Chip Set: Intel G45/G43 Express Chipset
    I have ensured that everything is updated. This includes:
    All CS4 Applications
    Windows 7
    My Graphics Card Driver
    My Display Driver
    I have also updated the Roxio PX Engine to V4.18.16a. I had read on a forum that Encore uses this driver and it should be up to date.
    OK, the problem, which I can reproduce with the simplest Encore project:
    1.     Start Encore
    2.     Create a new project - specify DVD - everything else id default.
    3.     Create a timeline
    4.     Import asset. It is a simple Standard Video AVI file, 720x480.
    5.     Select timeline for editing
    Here's what happens:
    A) Monitor window behaves normally. I can click play and watch the imported video. Sound is fine, everything is fine. I can start and stop the play back freely. All is well.
    B) Now, I can do a number of things to create the problem I am having. The simplest is to just go to the timeline editor, select the AVI asset that has just been there, running fine, and remove it from the time line. At this point, the monitor window's internal frame that used to represent the video view port area, disappears. By "disappears", I mean that the Monitor window goes to the background color which is used for empty, unused window regions. What had been there before was a jet-black frame representing the video view area
    Now, if I go to the project window and re-select the AVI asset that I was just viewing and put it BACK into the timeline, the Monitor does not restore. If I play the timeline, the monitor is still blank, although I can hear sound.
    In addition to this, I also find that Encore has slowed so that response to the simplest operation is extremely slow. It doesn't crash, although, it might if I hang around long enough - but I don't. If I shut down Encore and restart it, it will work OK until I start manipulating video assets again and then the same thing will happen.
    I should mention that, yes, I have this new computer but I was using Encore on an older and much slower XP system with less memory and drive space and I had no trouble with encore. I should also point out that the AVI assets that I use to produce this problem are the same ones I had used successfully on the older system.
    Is there anyone out there that would find this problem familiar? Anyone find a solution?
    Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.

    Hi John:
    Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
    There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
    I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
    Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

  • CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

    Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

    If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
    In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it.  Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.

  • Issues with PHOTOSHOP CS4 on Windows 7

    Hi!
    I'm using photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and i have a problem. I'm working on a Core I7 920 with 6Go of ram.
    I'm using the 11.0.1 version (the latest), and even with that, the brush is awfully slow on windows 7. I tried with and without the "Open-GL drawing" enabled, it doesn't change anything. I thought it could be the fault of Windows 7's "tablet PC" function, but even after uninstalling it, i still have the same problem. I tried it on XP SP3 on the same computer, and it works normaly.
    As i also had some problems with AE, i guess the compatibility is not perfect. I think Adobe should really think about an update for 7 users.

    Here's a possible solution (work around) to the lag problem, that worked for me.
    Open the Wacom Tablet Properties, double click on the tablet and make sure its in "Standard" mode.
    Click on the Mapping Tab ->set the mapping mode to Mouse and turn off Mouse Accelerration.
    I also either disabled anything that I didn't use.
    Hope this helps.

  • HELP!!  Photoshop cs4 and Windows 8 - Printer Not Found

    Just installed PS cs4 on my new all-in-one with Windoz 8 and my cs4 is saying that there is no printer installed.  I can print from other sources like disks and picture viewer.  Are there any fixes for this???  I REALLY don't want to purchase yet another license for cs6!

  • Why can't I view metadata added in Photoshop CS4 in Windows XP's explorer?

    I'm using Photoshop CS4 on Windows XP.  I've been editing the Title and Description fields in Photoshop (and yes, I've been saving things).  When I try to view the metadata in Photoshop at a later point I can see everything just fine.  When I try to view the metadata by going in to windows explorer and looking at the properties, those fields just show up as blank.  This may be a silly question (I'm a bit of a noob), but what am I doing wrong?

    I believe Mylenium is referring to this:  Start Bridge, then Edit - Preferences - Metadata.
    I don't know what settings to tweak to accomplish what you want, though.

  • Installing Photoshop CS4 on Windows 8.1 - Screen Prompts are Invisible

    When trying to install CS4 on Windows 8.1, I cannot read the setup screens, as it seems many elements of the screen are either the same color as the background or invisible.  This makes it impossible to install the product on my installation of Windows.

    Reynolds you are welcome to download a fresh copy of the installation files at Download CS4 products. 
    You might also want to look at the fonts you have installed in case one of them is conflicting with the font utilized by installer.

  • Trouble installing CS4 in Windows 7 64-bit

    Has anybody else had trouble installing CS4 into Windows 7 Pro 64-bit?  I had this suite installed in XP (32-bit) and it worked just fine, but it will not install on my new computer.  The first time I tried, it got partway in (past the serial number), and then everything locked up.  I had to restart the machine twice just to make it let go of the CD! 
    Someone on a forum suggested  copying the disks to the hard drive and installing from there, but this did not work any better, the installation simply fails immediately, and I get an error code 1605.  I tried it with the firewall off, and with anti-virus disabled, and I never leave User Account Control enabled.  What is going on?

    Provide the install logs and exact system information:

  • Need Help Installing Flash CS4 For Windows

    Hi, I have downloaded the two files to install Flash CS4 for Windows from here: http://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-suite/kb/cs4-product-downloads.html
    Unfortunately, there is no explanation whatsoever provided regarding how to use the two files, and how to install my product.
    I feel like I am missing something obvious here, but can someone please explain.
    Kind regards,
    Finn.

    Try uninstalling then run the Adobe Cleaner Tool
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then double click the .exe file again.
    What do I do with the .7z file?
    Nothing. That's is an archive of files used by the .exe file during the installation process.

  • Clipping paths not working in CS4 on Windows

    I have an image of a dohnut on a plate. I want a clippint path around the dohnut and one in the dohnut hole. Using the option icons does not give me a result of just a dohnut for placement over a color or image background in an Indesign page. I've tried this on Mac and it works just fine. What's the problem with my Photoshop CS4 on Windows?
    TIA

    Adendum.
    Ok. It works, but you have to selected the icon on the far right before drawing the first path, or select the paths with paths selection tool/direct selection tool, and then click the right icon. Otherwiswe the result is inverted - you get the image area outside the large clipping and the area inside the small clipping when place over color or image on a page.
    If I use the magic wand to select the area around and inside the doughnut and choose Make Selection... in the Paths pallet, then the function works regardless of what paths icon is initially selected.
    Hmmm.

  • Using Adobe CS4 on Windows side of new Imac: It keeps crashing..Help!!!

    Hello,
    I just bought a new 2009 Imac G5, 24in screen, desktop version, 3.06 GHZ Processor, 4 GB ram, 1TB of Storage. I used Boot Camp to split the hard drive down the middle (500 GB for each side) and I installed Windows XP service pack 3.
    My company gave me the new version of Adobe CS4 for Windows (brand new) and after a successful install, the programs tend to crash often. Especially Flash. Photoshop crashed as soon as I opened it up and it was a small file I was working with. What the heck is going on here people???? It's all new stuff.
    Anyone have a similar issue??? It's annoying and frustrating and has prevented me from getting a lot of work accomplished, so any help or advice would be great.
    Please help!
    Thanks!
    Mike
    p.s
    On a separate note(this is not a question just a comment): some of the Adobe fonts that come standard with the CS4 did not install properly and were not recognized by my computer. This is because of the Imac's graphics processor. I called Adobe and they had to manually walk me through the process (in Windows)of getting the processor to read the fonts. It was crazy and actually, it was not their responsibility to do this...the woman was just being extra nice. FYI

  • We are using CS4 on Windows & having download problems

    We were told to download Photoshop CS2 9.0.2 update to fix a problem we are having with correcting images in Acrobat Pro by going directly to Photoshop. Our problem is that the download gets as far as the installation wizard & then we get this message: "A qualifying version of Adobe Photoshop CS2 was not detected. The installation will be canceled.” and the installation is canceled. We are running CS4 on Windows XP & Vista.
    Can anyone help us?
    Thanks in advance!

    We received the advice from Kevin Slimp after viewing a webinar he had on through telspanexpress & the Hoosier State Press Association.
    Here's our problem:
    We used to be able to right click on an image in a PDF file that had been sent to us & make adjustments directly in Photoshop to just that image.
    Often times we would have to make changes in the file by going to Advanced, Print Productions, Convert Colors & change the settings before we could open it in Photoshop. Since we got CS4 we continue to get this message, but have been unable to make any changes that solve the problem and allow us to go to Photoshop. Kevin suggested that we try installing this update to be able to make the changes we need to fix our PDFs & make them printable using our old process of lay-up to film to aluminum sheet to press. Our problem is that people send us magazine-quality ads & the dot gain makes the images nearly black. If we take the PDF into Photoshop to make the adjustment & there is text over the image, then the text edges are no longer smooth.
    What would you suggest for rectifying the problem?
    Thanks so much for the quick response.

  • When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear in Ps.

    When opening a file of any type in Photoshop (CS4), the windows will not appear. Photoshop will open and I can see the layers on the right but the document window will not come up no matter what I try.  I try closing down everything, double-clicking a layer, opening multiple windows, etc.. Any thoughts?

    Can you post a screenshot of your entire Photoshop screen with a file loaded in and the layers panel showing?
    It helps if we see the same problem you are seeing

  • File Access Denied Error trying to load Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7

    I am trying to load Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7 64bit & I keep getting File Access Denied. I am unable to read to the disk or to load the program. I do not have the option to open as administrator.

    So when you put the disk in it won't run correctly? When the disk is inserted you should have a window pop up with 2 options. 1 to install and the other to see what is on the disk. Choose to explore or open the disk. Go to the CS4 folder where the photoshop .exe file is (that will run the setup), right click on the .exe file and choose run as Admin and it should start. See if it will install. If not then read below.
    I am not sure how far you got in the install before so chances are you will have to run the CS4 cleanup utility. 2 levels to run at but don't use 1 or 2 just type in the number 3.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
    You may need to run the windows installer cleanup utility too
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
    Before you try to reinstall the software ensure that adobe reader is not installed. If it is remove it. It has caused issues in the past with vista and CS4 installs.
    Also turn off windows Defender and any anti-virus software. You can keep UAC on in Windows 7.
    During the CS4 install at 90 percent it will almost stop and may take 5 to 10 mins to finish. This is normal. What a pain huh......
    After install is finished, reboot
    After reboot, go to the CS4 64 bit or 32 bit icon (depends on 32 or 64 bit Windows 7) in start area, right click on CS4 64 bit (if you have windows 7 64 bit) and choose properties, compatibility tab and then check run as Admin at the bottom area. Hit apply, ok to close out.
    Now start CS4 and run the updater.
