Cs5 closes when I choose a bristle brush....will they work without open gl?

Hi, my card is GeForce 6150se nforce 430/pci/sse2. So far I have only been able to run cs5 with basic gpu settings or else I get a blank document upon opening an image. I would like to learn bristle brushes but what I find is that even on basic settings photoshop shuts down when I select a bristle brush. If i deselect basic and restart without open gl I can select a brush but with no preview.
Are the brushes even usable without open gl?
What would be the solution, getting a slightly better video card? I use photoshop a lot for image work and not for 3d. I would like to have access to the full range of 2 d possibilities within photoshop.... Thank you Sea

No problem.
I suggest you do a backup before you take the hardware apart.
It's quite straightforward.  In most PCs one screw or a latch locks the cards or blank slot covers down.  Just touch a metal part of the computer case with your hand before you touch the electronics.  You'll want to carefully pull the old card up and out, move the cover for the PCIe x16 slot into the position the old card was in, then install the new card carefully, sliding it down into the PCIe x16 slot, then lock it down.  There will likely be instructions supplied with the card.
Once you boot your system up use whatever key it tells you to press to get into the BIOS setup and see if any changes need to be made there (e.g., you might have to tell your system to use the PCIe slot instead of the PCI slot - or maybe not).
Windows should boot up and there's a good chance it will automatically recognize your card and install a driver.  But you may want to install the driver from media supplied with the card or from a download online.  You may have to seek out the nVidia software for your old card and remove it.
Here's a good idea:  There are many tutorials and videos online showing how to do it.  You can find them via a Google search for "how to replace a video card" or similar.  Take a few minutes and look them over before taking your hardware apart.  Here's just one example:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9x097QRXeA

    I'm on a windows laptop using iTunes sharing through the family to connect with Apple TV.
    After choosing the folder of photos to be shared and displayed on the appletv and when I choose to show on screen, they are not shown in the order they are in the original folder.
    How to pair show in a certain order, for example, sorted by name.

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?

    If I have converted my purchased iTunes songs to a lower bit rate what will happen when I join iTunes match? Will they match up or will these be stored as duplicates of the same song?
    I ask because I primarily use my work laptop which has limited space so I usually convert my purchases to 160k from 256k in order to save space. I want to sign up for iTunes Match but I'd like to know before I do so I can understand how I will have to set up my library.

    Why create a new library? Just add the tracks from the laptop to the existing library on the Mac.

    I was just hoping to hear definitively whether or not there was some sort of intelligence built into iTunes Match that would match these up...
    How do you mean? If you down-convert purchased tracks you've fundamentally changed the files so iTunes can no longer recoginize them as "purchased." And, indeed, they no longer are since they are brand new files. Of course these new files will only be "matched" or "uploaded."

  • I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

    I have an HP photosmart8250 printer and wondering when I buy a new ipad will it work with that?

    There's a list of printers that support AirPrint, the native mechanism for printing from iOS, here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    I don't see the 8250 listed. HP has an app that enables printing to some of their other wireless printers; search the iTunes Store and you should find it as well as some other printing apps. Otherwise you can connect the printer to your computer and route the printing through the computer. f you have a Mac, Printopia might be worth a look:
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    If you have a Windows system, search the web for something like "airprint Windows hack" and you'll find instructions on enabling printing.
    Another option is an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

  • Bridge CS5 closes when moving files

    Bridge CS5 abruptly closes when moving files.  It does not matter if I drag and drop or if I cut/copy and paste to different folders -- I get the same behavior either way.  When I try to move files, I get a Windows dialogue box saying the program has experienced a problem and will close.  After Brdige closes and I open it again, the files have been moved.  Still, it is a pain to have the program crash everytime I move a file.
    I have a new computer with great specs and lots of memory (see below).  I did not have this problem before and only began to experience it recently.  The only changes since then are that I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Dreamweaver.  I found another instance of this problem in the forums and followed the advice of disabling all scripts, but it did not help.  What can I do to move files in Bridge?
    Computer: Studio XPS 9100
    Processor: Intel Core i7-920 processor(8MB L2 Cache, 2.66GHz)
    RAM: 12GB DDR3 SDRAM,1333MHZ, 6x2GB
    Video Card: ATI Radeon HD5670 1GB GDDR5
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English 

    I have a computer setup very similar to yours, in fact you have one notch higher ram and video card.  It should work.  I do use drag and drop sometimes, but almost always use right click and "copy to".  It will list the last 10 places you have visited so it is easy to click on the folder (or visit it first).  More of a hassle if you have to browse.
    I had to add "copy to and move to" to the right click function in Vista and Win7.  Check on-line and there is an automatic program that inserts it into the registry.  It confident instructions are given to do it manually.
    Have no idea why it will not work.  Can you drag and drop in Win Exp?
    Hope this helps.

  • How do I setup the email where when I click a link it will use the already open email tab.

    Before having my computer worked on, I always kept an e-mail tab open. I use the extension sbcglobal.net, I am assuming this is a yahoo extension, but not positive. Anyway, when I would I would click a link from a website to e-mail it would automatically open in the tab I had opened for e-mail. Now it opens in a new window and says mail to:XXXXXXX (whatever the e-mail is) So I have to remove the mail to portion and then use that opened window and close that window when finished. The purpose of having my e-mail open all the time was to use that one tab. Is there a plug in or something to make firefox use sbsglobal. net for my default mail client. I do not use outlook, hate it, I have att.net set as my home page and want all mail to go there, not a new window.

  • Premiere cs5 mercury engine will it work without any graphic card?

    HI there I have core 2quad 6600 processor of 2.4ghz, and intel classic series fb33 motherboard, with only onboard video ram shared with physical ram of 2gb.
    I want to install cs5 on 64bit OS and upgrade total ram to 8 gb without buying any graphic cards(right now). Qn is will I be able to edit avchd videos? will the
    mercury engine still be enabled? I know its kinda "no budget, want all qn" Right now I dont wanna buy a card as am plannin to buy new system later..
    Thanks

    Yes, of course, you are correct, Harm.  I was over-simplifying. 
    I Took the OP's "enabled" to really mean "accelerated", and in that sense, it will not work as without the necessary graphics card there will be no acceleration.
    I can certainly support your third paragraph, having just moved from a four-year-old system with a quad 3 GHz processor, 8 GB of RAM and a hacked 460 GTX graphics card, to a Sandy Bridge E system with a 3930 CPU, 32 GB of RAM but the same graphics card and HDD set up (for the moment). Your oft stated "molasses in winter" describes my old system pretty well from my present viewpoint!
    The old system coped with the fairly gentle HDV, provided I kept the number of assets down, but threw a hissy fit if I tried 1920 HD, even with the Matrox (I know, I know!) I-frame codec.
    Gigarigh,
    You would be better off upgrading along my path - motherboard and processor first, using as much as you can of your old system for now, as this allows much better scope for future upgrading.

  • Photoshop CS5 closes when selecting "File-Automate-Batch"

    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS5 (v12.0.4 x32) under Windows XP Pro SP3. When I select “File-Automate-Batch”, a window pops up saying:
    Adobe Photoshop CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    The choices to continue are “Send Error Report” or “Don’t Send” but with either selection, Photoshop closes. This happens even with no images open.
    What do I need to do to fix this problem?
    Thanks to anyone who can help me out.

    From reading the different posts about this problem, the answer seems to be removing the Twain plugin resolves the issue
    or possibly updating your scanner drivers. Have you installed the optional Twain plugin into photoshop cs5?

    Probably the usual issues with bad graphics drivers... Turn off OpenGL in teh prefs and update your driver, then try again. Could of course also be some plug-in or other driver e.g. for a scanner or printer....
