CS6 crashed when used RAMdisk on Windows 8

I have Photoshop CS6, I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8 (both x64). I use the RAM disk as a scratch disk (16 GB RAM total, 4GB RAMdisk). When I use filter liquify, Photoshop crashed. I tried two RAMdisks and both have the same behaviour. In Windows 7 it worked good. I have final version of Windows 8 from MSDN, no beta.

It's generally a bad idea - don't use a RAM disk for scratch.  Photoshop will work better overall if you give it all the RAM possible (roughtly 14 GB in your case) and use a hard drive for scratch. 
Keep in mind Photoshop's use of scratch space quite often runs into the tens or even hundreds of gigabytes!
Regarding how well Photoshop works on Windows 8 - well, I'd say you're more likely to be having problems with the display drivers than the RAM disk, or maybe there's some kind of coupling.  Keep in mind that Adobe has not yet said they officially support operation on Windows 8.  It may be that they're holding off release of the 13.0.1 update until they've had some time to test and tweak Photoshop on Windows 8.

    Adobe flash CS6 crashes when using the type tool or Editing word all the time... please help!

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. The standard answer with all text issues simply is, that you have a "bad font" on your system and need to get rid of it.

  • Photoshop CS6 crashes when using burn tool, crop tool, and dodge tool?

    Just recently upgraded from Photoshop CS5.5 64bit to Photoshop CS6 64 bit. Crashes when using burn tool, crop tool, or dodge tool? Thanks for your help!

    Turn off OpenGL in the prefs and update your graphics driver before re-enabling it.

  • Photoshop cs6 crashes when moving dialogs and windows

    So recently, Photoshop has started randomly crashing when moving dialogs around or onto 2nd monitor. The files I have open are not large, so I am looking to understand why this is happening. has anyone else experienced this with their application?
    Thanks

    It might be helpful if you'd go into your Windows Event Logs (specifically, the Application log) and look for the Error event indicating a Photoshop crash.  It may identify a module that will help narrow down the problem - though I suspect it will show a crash in the printer driver.  Copy the text and list it here.

  • Adobe Encore CS6 crashes when using dynamic link

    I'm trying to use encore for the first time to create a wedding DVD. I'm trying to use the dynamic link feature from premiere pro but whenever I use it (I've tried intiating it from both premiere and encore) it crashes. When starting it from premiere it crashes right away but using it from encore it crashes when I want to create a new timeline from the sequence. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Also I don't really want to have to render the premiere pro file since it's quite large but if I have to I will. Thank you

    I filmed it from a HD camera.
    I tried to dynamic link a much shorter clip but yet the same thing happened from both programs. I even tried to make a timeline from in Encore with nothing in it and it crashed.
    EDIT: I redownloaded premiere pro with encore and it seems to work now. Thank you for all your help though. Much appreciated.

  • Indesign CS6 crashes when using pages panel - problem solutions?

    Problem:
    Indesign freeze up if I try to use pages panel and either: move - add or delete pages.
    I have now tried to remove and reinstall Indesign and also tried removing "preferences" when starting Indesign (as suggested from another site).
    Problem started quite sudden.
    Desperate need suggestions to solve problem!

    Please! Is there no one who can help?
    I'm working with a 208 page document and need to be able to move pages around to make the best design possible.
    This is impossible as every time I access the page panel InDesign freeze up and have to restart the program.
    I'm working on PC with Windows 8.  Problem seem to be sudden as explained over, and I have not been able to find any solution on internet.
    As said over, I tried to remove “preferences” when starting InDesign but this made no changes to my problem.
    In addition to above problem, I also had problems with being unable to move Objects, text fields etc.  This was only possible when using arrow keys. From various suggestions on internet, I actually ended up uninstalling Google Chrome. This solved the problem in moving objects/text fields around, but my problem in moving pages still exists.
    I have no desire in removing everything else but InDesign from my PC and hope to get a tip on solving my problem quick as time is of essence.

  • Illustrator CS6 crashing when using Image Trace - Make on Mac OSX

    Hi all,
    I have a user on a new mac that is just a few months old. It has all Mac updates and all Adobe updates, has passed all Mac hardware tests (and a separate memory test) and I ran the disk permissions check yesterday.
    The issue is that whenever she uses Image Trace - Make illustrator will crash completely. It doesn't give the spinning wheel of death, it just closes. This happens every time on any image file. While we haven't run every possible command on Illustrator I'm sure, this is the only command that crashes the program.
    I have tried deleting the preferences file, but it did not make any difference.
    On the crash report, it does give me a details option which gives a heck of a lot of info but I don't know what parts are relevant exactly so I'll refrain from posting the entire thing.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Have you submitted the crash log to Adobe? If yes than can you please tell me what ID you used during the submission of the crash log.
    If possible can you join the connect session:

  • Safari crashes when using the dialog box to import/save files, in facebook under windows 7

    I have tried in-installing safari but it seems not to help. I have tried installing it to a third, newly installed pc and come to the same result.
    All PCs are fully up-to-date as it regards Microsoft and Apple patches. Any ideas as to why this might happen?

    Still having the same problem. Ever the optimist, I submit the following info.

  • Acrobat Pro XI frequent crashes when using New Window feature

    As a lawyer using Acrobat Pro XI to review legal documents, I find the New Window feature invaluable since it lets me view different parts of the same document at the same time.  However, when I use this feature I encounter frequent crashes, more often if I insert a comment in one of the windows.  Inserting those comments are very important to me.  Is there any way to avoid the crashes while using the New Window and Comment features together?

  • Adobe Photoshop CS4/5 Crashes when using the Move Tool

    Hello. I'm here because I'm having an issue with Photoshop.
    I was trying out CS5 when it started to crash every time I tried to use the Move Tool. It was the generic error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working.
    A problem has caused Adobe Photoshop CS4 to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    Thinking that it was a CS5 issue, I went back to my copy of CS4, only to find the same thing happening there (I also downgraded because CS5 was also crashing at other random times for some reason, but that's an issue for another time).
    This puzzles me because both were working fine before. Granted, I hadn't opened them for a while, but it was a sudden thing.
    My first impulse was to uninstall and reinstall CS4. No luck. So then, I uninstalled all third-party plugins, thinking that might be it. Still, the same problem. I started looking around on Google for solutions and found the instructions on resetting the Tool preferences (I chose to reset the preferences for ALL of the tools). When that didn't work, I tried deleting the preferences file outright, which said instructions recommended. Nothing.
    I should note that Photoshop crashes when using the Move Tool to move an object without ant lines around it, i.e., a layer. I'll move the object, and after two to three seconds, the mentioned error message will appear and Windows will close Photoshop. This, however, only seems to happen after selecting, copying, and pasting part of a large object with some variation of the Marqee Tool (thus making that part a new layer by default) while working at a zoom of 100%. So, in short, working with a large image like <a href=http://www.wallpaper4me.com/images/wallpapers/ergo_proxy_267_1280-862301.jpeg>This</a> at 100% zoom. The image linked is the image that I was using and am currently using to reproduce the problem. It is 1280x1024 pixels. I have tested this with somewhat smaller, yet comparable images too. Same problem. I have never had this problem working with large images before, and I wonder if anyone has any suggestions short of formatting my hard drive.

    Even a decent RAM upgrade is usually only a few hundred dollars nowadays, but it's not a trivially simple process.  That said, with a little research and care you can do it.  Alternatively, you can hire people (e.g., "Geek Squad") to do such an upgrade.
    First, you'll need to know what your operating system capacity is.  For example, a 32 bit Windows system can really only use up to a bit more than 3 GB of RAM, while a 64 bit Windows system can use all the RAM you can find a place to plug in.  What version of Windows are you running?
    Then you'll need to determine what RAM you have installed and what your computer's maximum RAM capacity is - usually you can do this through internet research, either by visiting your computer manufacturer's web site or doing google searches.  There are even RAM manufacturer web sites that will tell you what kind of RAM your computer needs and suggest sources, for example:
    http://www.kingston.com/
    It may be that you can just plug additional chips into currently empty sockets, or it is possible you'll need to replace the RAM chips you have installed in your computer to make room for an upgrade.  Every computer is different.
    If you list your computer model and current RAM that you have installed here, it may be that someone can help with more specific advice.

  • Bridge CS6 crashes when adding tags or ratings

    Bridge CS6 crashes when adding tags or ratings.  Someone suggested upgrading video driver.  It resolved the problem for a short time and then started crashing again when adding tags or ratings.  Sometimes it works fine but lately it crashes almost every time I tag or rate one image.  I have upgraded my video driver and reset cache and reset preferences. 
    Never had a crash with Photoshop CS6 or RAW ...only with Bridge when Tagging or Rating

  • Photoshop crashes when using Free Transform Tool

    Hello All Forum Members,
    Recently Photoshop CS6 crashes when I attempt to use the Free Transform Tool through the shortcut (Ctrl+T).
    It also crashes very often when using any of the free transform/transform tools via the menu as well, though not as often as the previous listed situation.
    This experience only occurred recently - for all the time I have been using CS6, this has never happened.
    I have read another thread similar to this, though I don't think the cause of the problem is the same as this was only a recent experience.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Curt Y,
    Thank you for the quick reply!
    By immediately, do you mean when the loading or when the actual interface has finished loading?
    I have tried both, but neither seems to have worked.
    Is there a menu or someplace else I can reset preferences?
    Many thanks!!!

  • [Bug] Finder crashes when using "Go To Directory" from Finder icon

    Hi,
    My finder crashes instantly and locks everything releated to it.
    This happens when i option/right click on finder and use "Go to directory" with a path name.
    I can restart the finder from the dock and/or kill the process.
    The finder won't crash when a finder window is already open..
    So when there isnt't a finder window open, it crashes when using this option.
    This is what i use:
    OSX Leopard 9A581 (Dutch/Netherlands as a main language)
    Intel Core Duo 1,83 Ghz
    Intel GMA950 Graphics
    2GB Non-ECC mem.
