CS5 problem with Menu Bar

When I open an image  in CS5 and I try to use any command in the menu bar like: File,. Edit, etc. the drop down menu is completely BLACK so thet there is no visible command unti you hover the curser on the black dropdown menu. If you don't know where the particular command is located, you have to hover the curser from top to bottom until you get to the particular area then you can read the command. While you are still on the Browser module, the background of the dropdown menu is white so you can read all the command.. I tied and tried but to no avail. Pls. help..Thanks       .Paul

Fix your graphics driver and configuration.

  • Problems with Menu Bar after recent security update

    Ever since installing yesterday's security update I have been having problems with the menu bar. When clicking on the blue Apple in the upper left hand corner, no drop-down menu appears as it should. This problem also occurs in the drop-down menu named for the program in various instances (Thunderbird, Azureus, iTunes, Finder, Firefox) but not in others (Safari, Adium, VLC). Sometimes the menus are simply truncated and do not include all the options they should rather than not opening at all.
    I have run Disk Utlity which found no problems and have performed a hard restart multiple times but the problem persists. Any advice would be very helpful. Thank you.

    Thanks for the help. I tried most of the solutions listed in the link you supplied, but am still having the same problem. However, when I tried to run the Tiger Cache Cleaner, I got the following error message:
    Runtime Error 4: Failed Assertion
    Location: /Volumes/RBUS/Common/MacOs/MacOSMenu.cpp:420
    Failure Condition: appMenu
    Failure Message:
    Please report what caused this error along with the details above.

  • Having problems with menu bar! NEED HELP

    I'm having some serious problems with the finder menu bar. When I click on the blue apple, it won't show anything! It just highlights the blue apple without a pull down menu. Same goes for the Window pulldown menu. Also, under finder. when I click empty trash, or do the equivilent keyboard shortcut, it won't empty the trash. I have to ctrl click on the trashcan and empty it that way. Please help me fix my finder, or else I'm going to have to reformat and start ALL over which I really don't want to do. Thanks!
    PS This is on a Dual 1.42GHZ G4 Tower w/ Radeon 9800 Pro graphics card and 2GB (4X512mb) ram. I also updated to 10.4.7 from 10.4.6 to see if that fixed the problem, and no dice! Thanks!

    Well if the problem occurs in two accounts then it is systemic. When did the problem begin? Was it with a software update, sch as from 10.4.6 to .7? If so, try reapply the update using the Combo updater.
    IF that doesn't work you can re-install 10.4 using the Archive and Install method, which does not wipe your disk, does not require reinstalling all your applications etc, However, BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST, and read up on the A&I before you do it.
    Hope this helps

  • Problems with Menu Bar Vertical and Firefox

    The menu bar looks fine in IE.  When viewing in Firefox the submenus are not displaying correctly.  I can only see the edge of them. Please help!
    Thanks Mary

    Mary,
    You have added overflow: hidden; to one of your menubar styles. That is why the submenus are, well, hidden!
    Go to this rule and get the hidden overflow out of the stylesheet:
    ul.MenuBarVertical li
         margin: 0;
         padding: 0;
         list-style-type: none;
         font-size: 100%;
         position: relative;
         text-align: left;
         cursor: pointer;
         width: 12em;
         background-color: #FFFFFF;
    /*               overflow: hidden;     delete this */
    /*     border-color: #000;
    */     outline-color: #333;
         outline-style: none;
         outline-width: thin;
         border-top-color: #000;
         border-right-color: #000;
         border-bottom-color: #000;
         border-left-color: #000;
         border-top-style: none;
         border-right-style: solid;
         border: 000000;
         border-bottom-style: solid;
         border-left-style: solid;
         border-top-width: thin;
         border-right-width: thin;
         border-bottom-width: thin;
    The reason this hides the submenus is because submenus are lists nested in the top menu items. By their nature, they overflow from the extent of the top menu. By hiding them, the only part that shows up is the small portion that lies within the extent of the top menu item.

  • Photoshop CS5 "full screen with menu bar" problem

    Hi, I use Photoshop in a Mac computer. In CS4 when I work in "full screen with menu bar" mode, is really a full screen because the workspace go beyond the dock at the bottom. I mean, the dock is overlaping the workspace. In CS5, in the same mode is not really a full screen, the workspace ends above the dock, and the space at the bottom of the screen is wasted. I want to know why they changed that, and if there is a way to fix the problem (Hide the dock is not an option for me. Neither to use standard screen mode, cause that way I can't move the image around when zoomed out)

    The following may work:
    1. Record an action and use insert menu item for:
       View>Screen Mode>Full Screen with Menu Bar
                                and
       View>Fit on Screen
    2. Go to: File>Scripts>Scripts Event Manager.
       In the event manager dialog choose the settings as below.
    Everytime you open a document, the screen mode will go to full screen
    and fit on screen.
    If you decide that's a pain, you can go to the scripts event manager and remove the action.
    For this to work, the action you recorded has to be in the actions panel.

  • Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar -blue

    For some reason the 'Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar' option has a blue background now. The background used to be gray, and then one time i opened up Photoshop and now the background is blue. It is very annoying and affects my painting. The grey was neutral, now it is blue so my colors are going to appear off.
    If you don't know what i mean: Open Photoshop, make a canvas (new image) Hit the key "F" on your keyboard 2 times so the canvas takes up the entire page but the menu bars are still up. The color around the canvas is Blue, when it has ALWAYS been gray.
    Please someone tell me how to fix this.

    I found out a solution. If anybody ever encounters this problem just right click on the background and select Gray. :)

  • CS5 Problem with box positioning

    CS5 Problem with box positioning. 0 Point for box positioning is on the right side now, how can I change it so its on the left side of the box again?
    (When I started to work on my document all of my text boxes were positioned at 20px now they are at 180px and they are 160px width)
    Thanks in advance!

    Without a screen capture showing a bit more about what you mean, I can't tell if this is just a case that you need to reset the zero-point on the ruler (or change from ruler per page to ruler per spread or ruler on spine...) or some other problem entirely.
    You can embed a screen capture in a post using the camera icon on the web page like this:

  • Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar view mode appears with Blue Background??

    Can someone please help me figure out what I did exactly to unintentionally change the "Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar" view mode so that it now appears with a Blue Background, instead of the default gray one....and better yet, can someone let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background instead?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

    >let me know how I can switch it back to displaying the default gray background
    SHIFT-Click the Paint Bucket pool in that area using the gray of your choice (e.g. 132, 132, 132).
    (That's probably what you did to turn it blue.)
    Or, more drastically, you can trash your preferences.

  • PS CS6, Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar, Zoom, Brush, Auto Pan

    There seems to be a functionality that was lost (or I can't find it) in CS6 that was in earlier versions.  When I am In Full Screen Mode with Menu and the image I am editing is zoomed in, I used to be able to shift+click my brush to extend a line.  That line would automatically reposition the image when I got to the edge of the screen.  Does anyone know if that functionality is gone or do I need to turn "something on”?
    1. I open a file
    2. I ender Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar
    3. I enlarge the photo so that its boundaries are beyond the edge of the screen
    4. I enter mask mode (doesn't matter what mode)
    5. With my brush tool I start to paint a line by holding the "shift" key and "left-click"
    6. I get to the edge of the screen
    * this is where PS would reposition the image automatically and I could keep painting my line

    Which operating system are you using?

  • PS CS5 messes up menu bar; dialog boxes distort during drag; etc

    I'm having weird problems with Photoshop CS5.  I'd love help, or even tips for how to frame the question when searching for help.
    Here are the symptoms:
    - After starting PS, if I open any dialog box and then close it, after closing the PS menu bar is corrupted -- it looks like a single row of pixels is missing through the File, Edit, Image, etc words, and at the right end of the menu bar, the three control icons are overlain with Windows control icons.  Both these problems can be seen in the screen capture image below.
    - When a dialog box is open, if I drag it around, it gets clipped as repainting tries to keep up with the mouse.  It's always rectangular, but edges flicker off to varying depths as it repaints to move.  When the mouse stops, the repaint works and it looks fine.  While moving, the faster the movement, the worse the effect.
    - When using tools such as Lasso select, the movement feedback (the selection gray line) lags a few millimeters or more, depending on speed.
    To me it looks like an application + video driver problem, but all s/w is up to date.  Messing with OpenGL setting (Edit->Preferences) doesn't affect things; it acts the same with OpenGL on or off, basic, normal, or advanced.  My video card is displayed correctly in the Edit->Preference: Performance box.
    The first problem (menu bar corruption) is obviously least interfering and I believe has been with me longest.  The latter two problems make PS somewhat difficult to use, and I believe showed up in the last few months (since the last time I used PS intensively, about 8 months ago).  I can't recall for sure, but I think I installed updates to both PS and ATI drivers in the last 8 months (ie., so both could be suspects).
    Any ideas what is wrong, or what to search for?  What would be a good search query for this sort of problem set?
    Does this seem to be an Adobe problem, or ATI, or who?
    Here's my set-up:
    - Dell Inspiron 580 with 6 GB RAM
    - ATI Radeon HD 5450
    - Windows 7 64-bit
    - PS CS5 standard edition
    Thanks for help and/or ideas!

    I don't know about pre-packaged themes, but what I do is along these lines:
    Minimize Chrome on the Desktop
    If you have a sharp monitor, good eyes, and don't like that Microsoft has made all the useless chrome and border space around everything larger in the later versions of Windows, you'll likely want to minimize it to make more room to do real work...
    ·    Right-click on Desktop - Personalize, ensure the Windows 7 Aero theme is selected
    ·    Choose Window Color – Advanced appearance settings...
    ·    Active Title Bar item to size 17.
    ·    Menu item to Size 15, font Segoe UI size 8.
    ·    Border Padding item to size 0.
    ·    Scroll Bar item to size 16.
    ·    Caption Buttons item to size 16.
    ·    Icon Spacing (Horizontal) item to size 27.
    ·    Icon Spacing (Vertical) item to size 41.
    You can experiment with these settings to find a balance you like.
    Hope this helps!

  • Problem with tool bar

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my illustrator CS5, the toolbar doesn't show sub-options.
    For example if I click the Rectangle Tool (M) button looking for sub-options (a sub-option is for example the Ellipse Tool (L)), nothing happens. I managed to use the Ellipse Tool (L) through shortcuts, but I want my tool bar to be able to display all the sub-options.
    In other words all the buttons with a little triangle at the button-right corner, are supposed to show sub-options, but they don't.
    I've consulted the problem with one of my co-workers, he suggested installing it all again -> I don't wanna do that.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    You have to click and hold the button. As an alternative you can alt-click it to cycle through the tools

  • Problems with scroll bars in list view

    Hello,
    I am using Xcelsius 2008 (Build Number 12,2,166).  I am still having trouble with scroll bars on my list view control. Other list views in my dashboard seem to be ok. It seems that this list view is not ignoring the blank cells in my excel file. I have gone through many things to correct this problem. I have added a new list view, I have copied other list views that work correctly but still no success. It seems that the "Ignore Blank Cells" property is not working correctly. Does anyone have a solution for this?
    Much Thx!

    Hi Yusufel,
    Please check the data whether the cells are really blank or having any space which could not be seen, etc.
    With best wishes
