CS5 Panels acting bizarrely - unable rearrange the dock panels and cannot use the drop down menus

The panels are not functioning properly in my new version of CS5.  Several things are wrong:
I cannot click a panel tab and move it.  When I click on a panel, nothing happens.  I tried moving the swatch panel to the bottom of the dock and I got nothing.  I tried Command Click and I was able to move the swatch panel off the dock, but when i tried to re-dock it at the bottom of the panels, it would not dock in.
Also, when I try click on the menus in the panels in the dock, nothing happens.  I have to click multiple times....and then the drop down menu just appears for a milisecond and then disappears....so I am not able to select anything.
Oh...and I am working in 32 bit.
Anyone have a clue what to do?

Sounds like your problem is solved.
If you look at Alien skin's website regarding CS5 (http://support.alienskin.com/Article_BB9D5.aspx), then you'll see that they state that their plug-ins are CS5 compatible, so maybe you have an old version, or maybe you want to let them know about this issue.

  • TS1741 I have lost the original remote for my Apple TV. I went to install it at my fiancés house, and cannot use the remote app on my ipad or iPhone. Can I still control the Apple TV with the apps?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • What are the steps to make it seamless for a customer to use the install program and then use the installed program?

    I wrote an install program (.exe) that is downloaded from a website.  When run, it 1) leads a customer to browse to a directory, and 2) copies files (.exe, .dll, etc.) from a website to that directory.  When I run, the installed program works.

    This site https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/2kt85ked%28v=vs.110%29.aspx provides a basic description of the Visual Studio Windows Installer. 
    Near the bottom of the page is "You can unlock all the features of InstallShield by paying to upgrade to the full version of InstallShield."  Where do I find info that describes the differences between the "free" and the "full"
    versions?

    Hello,
    The default feature does support the task for your requirement, so there is no need to pay for the other features unless you want to use some feature which is not free.
    In addition, as this thread
    InstallShield LE not available with VS 2012 RTM? shared, even through there is a link to InstallShield LE in the New Project dialog under Deployment solutions, but it belongs to third-party that I would recommend you consider posting this issue

  • Is it possible to hide the save function and only use the save as function in teststand

    Hi,
    When i'm done building a sequence i want to prevent other engineers to save the sequence with the same filename (or version number).
    Is it somehow possible to "hide" the save button and only use the save as function?
    Or is there another possiblity to solve my problem.
    The idea is to have a sequence called Sequence_V1.0.seq which i have build. When installing this in a factory enviroment I would like whenever there is a change needed in the sequence that the version number increases (manual action) (becomes Sequence_V1.1.seq). So from the moment you want to save i would like to only have the function save as. In this way you are obligated to fill in a new sequence name (original sequence will be read-only)
    What would even be great if there could be a log of what the changes were
    Thx!!! 

    1) You could mark the file as read-only, by default you would then not be able to save over it. The user could make it not read-only though if they know what they are doing.
    2) Another possibility is to lock the sequence file for editing (this is a teststand feature). Go to the Sequence File Property dialog, on the advanced tab, where it says Password Protection, set it to Not Editable and give it a good password. This doesn't however keep someone from saving another file to the same name as the locked one, but they at least won't be able to saved the locked file again without your password, nor will they be able to edit it.
    Hope this helps,
    -Doug

  • I won Lightroom 1.0 a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    I won Lightroom 1.0 as a door prize a few years ago at an Adobe clinic in Fremont. I have since misplaced the original disk and cannot get the program to open. It wants a serial number and I don't have one. How can I get the serial number so I can use the software?

    Thanks for replying, Jim. I wasn't planning to use it for raw images. I shoot film, black and white, and have many negatives I want to print. I am unfamiliar with the upgrades in Lightroom. I wasn't unhappy with the version I have. It was useful for my purposes.
    Because it was a few years ago, I don't remember if I registered the product. I was able to login to my account. But could not find a path to communicate with Adobe. I will keep trying.

  • HT4970 I have chosen not to use iCloud for the time being, and cannot get the Reminders i input on my Mac to replicate to my iphone and iPad?  any help is appreciated.

    I have chosen not to use iCloud for the time being since the syncing was inconsistently working with the calender and contacts;  and cannot get the Reminders on my Mac to sync/replicate onto my ios device, neither iphone nor ipad.  Help is appreciated in respect to Reminders.  Thank you.

    ok, thanks.  couple other questions...
    1. will it sync to my reminders on my MAC too if i enter via icloud?  if not, what's the reason for  having the reminder list available on my Mac if it can't sync? 
    2. I have 2 different email accounts, one with a .mac address and another with .msn.  both can be accessed via icloud.  i ran a test using my msn acct as the signin and it logged the reminder onto both the iphone and ipad fine.
    however, when i try with my mac address, it only shows up on my iphone, which list reminders under icloud(which worked on both devices and then under mac which worked only on the iphone, not ipad.  any idea why that might be happening?
    thanks for your help.

  • Update 4.01 asks to update, I say yes it appears to update then in the last step it goes back up to the update center and cannot connect, the update does not take effect and it keeps asking

    I allow update 4.01 to update got thru all the steps and at the last step it goes back out to the update and cannot connect, the update does not take effect.

    Sign out of your account on the iPad, restart the iPad and then sign back into your account.
    Settinsg>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    After restarting go to Settings>Store and sign in again.

  • Is there any way to accept the apple terms and conditions using the website or any other ways that are not flawed to being unusable?

    I have tried using the set in system of trying to update an app and being prompted to agree, but every single time  Apple's gay system keeps telling me that my session has timed out and I should try again. I have tried multiple times to have it sent by email, but every one of those show up as "there was an error and email failed. Please try again.". I signed in on the website and was prompted to agree to the terms and I did, but Apple still will not let me dowload/update apps. Is there any way to get to a part of a website that lets you agree to the terms? If not, is there any fool-proof way that I can do it or a solution to the session timing out issue?

    Try resetting your device.
    If that fails, Reboot, Reset, Restore.

  • All of a sudden, I can no longer use my drop down menus when wanting to go back to websites that should be in my history. It just blips on the screen and disappears! when wanting to shop online, I have the problem tooHow can I remedy this problem?

    Please help

    Mike,
    Are any of your other applications going wonky, or is it just Logic?
    I'm afraid I've never heard of this particular problem before, but if it were happening to me the first thing I would do is delete my "com.apple.logic.express.plist" file in Library>Preferences, then repair permissions in Disc Utility, and finally restart my computer.  Then I would launch Logic and see if the problem has been corrected.  It's amazing how much these two steps can accomplish.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue I would launch Logic and go to Preferences>Audio Units Manager to see if all my plug-ins are properly validated.

  • I use CS3 design premium and cannot use the license anymore. It won't start up and I can't deactivate.

    I got an error saying that Licensing stopped working. We downloaded an small .exe file (LicenseRecover), but it didn't work.
    We started the computer again and we got another error, saying that we had to uninstall and reinstall. But If we uninstall, we uninstall without deactivating, so that is not an option.
    This is the error we get when starting CS3 right now: You cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product, or contacting your IT administrator, or Adobe customer support for help.
    So I tried online customer support. Seems there is no online support anymore for CS3!
    How can I get it to work again? I really need the software for my job.

    If you only installed and activated the software once previously, you still have an extra activation available to you.  So if that's the case you can uninstall and reinstall and reactivate using your serial number.
    You can also get Adobe support thru chat to reset your activations - they are likely not available until after the weekend.  Do not ask for more than that though or they will tell you they do not support installation issues for older software.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...
