Cs6 will run fine on a dell laptop running core 5 but not on a new samsung 7 running core7.

The Samsungs splash screen gets to reading preferences but then says: cs6 has stopped running. I have deleted the prefs file to no avail. The samsung has a nvidia geforce 630.My uac has always been all the way down

One possibility is that the second faulting computer has one, or more, badly-written, or corrupt fonts installed in the OS. That can cause PS to fail to load, along with video drivers. You mention that you have "tried all sorts of combinations with the graphics card," but have you gone to the mfgr's. Web site, downloaded and installed the very latest driver?
For the fonts issue, should that be the problem, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/479026?tstart=30
It was written for Adobe Premiere Titler, but PS can be very sensitive to font issues.
Good luck,
Hunt

    I'm using pse10 on a computer with an i7 processor with 12GB of ram and windows 7 with a color laser printer.  The print function works fine while in organizer and sharing mode, but not from full edit.   When I try to print from full edit, I get an  error message with a red "X" on it that says:  "Before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."  I can't figure it out.  The printer is in "ready" state, and works fine in the organizer mode, and in share.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Thanks for any help in advance.

  • How can I get iTunes running on Windows XP as well as a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize my new iPhone 4S?  It seems to work fine with Win 7 PC so far, but not at all with the XP OS separate laptop.

    How can I get iTunes running on a Windows XP machine as well as, separately on a newer laptop running Windows 7 to both recognize and sync with my new iPhone 4S?  I have different libraries on each machine which I need to sync with the iPhone, both in iTunes.  It seems to be workiing fine on the Windows 7 machine, but not even reconizing the device at all in iTunes on Windows XP.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

  • Dell laptop headphone jack does not work when playing audio and video in Firefox 27

    My problem is similar to the one posted in this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/986978?esab=a&s=laptop+headphones+don%27t+work+with+firefox&r=2&fpa=1&as=s
    I believe it has little to nothing to do with extensions.
    I have just installed Firefox 27 on the Dell Inspiron 3520 laptop of a friend. She is an unsophisticated user who has a computer for email, simple web browsing, and watching YouTube and other online videos. Because she frequently seems to end up with junk on her machine, I wanted to switch her over to Firefox so I could install ad and script blockers that would hopefully slow down the frequency of adware and malware roosting in her system.
    The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 3520 with an Intel celeron CPU (64-bit), running Windows 8. There are standard end-user applications installed (Adobe Reader, VLC Media Player, etc.), but no tweaking utilities, etc. The audio drivers are Cirrus Logic High Definition Audio.
    I've been troubleshooting the laptop today trying to track down why the integrated speakers continue to work when the headphones are plugged in, with no sound coming through the headphones. Because I had run a series of virus / malware / adware scans just before installing Firefox, I thought I had mistakenly deleted some system audio files.
    It finally became clear after toggling multiple settings, playing with Windows and Dell sound settings, and experimenting, that the headphone audio jack still works as it should in the system itself (for example, playing videos through VLC Media Player) and in Internet Explorer. It is only in Firefox that plugging in the headphones does not send audio through the headphones nor cut out the integrated speakers.
    Sometimes there is a silencing of the integrated speakers for a few seconds, but then the audio kicks in again. (I am using YouTube and a certain movie streaming website to test the audio).
    However, if the headphones are plugged in before starting the videos, the sound comes through the headphones, but unplugging the headphones, then reinserting them, stimulates problem again. Not only that, but then in YouTube the video will stall and can't be restarted until the page is reloaded.
    Again, this is a fresh Firefox install of less than 24 hours, with only Adblock, Adblock Plus Pop-up Addition, Flashblock, and NoScript installed. There are no themes installed and most of the Options are the defaults that are set upon installation.
    I have both disabled the add-ons and uninstalled them entirely before testing the headphone funtionality. In both instances the problem persisted. I've also uninstalled and let Windows re-install the Cirrus audio drivers.
    Does anyone else have any insight into this problem, and any potential solutions other than "start in Safe Mode" and "reset Firefox"?

    Firefox can switch audio devices within ~ a + or - 10 minute period or so (Just a guess). At which point it latches onto the audio device and will never change until the entire process is shutdown (read last paragraph, there is an exception)
    Ive had this problem for a few months now, at least. And I switch back and forth from my sound system and my wireless USB headset.
    If anything will fix this i believe it would be disabling "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" in the properties of your default audio device, but i doubt it. I think this is an issue regarding the code in firefox itself.
    I'd like to see this turned into a default feature, being able to disable and enable the ability to stay on whichever device was the default at the time of launch, or to always play on the current default device, even if its changed. That or being able to choose a specific device/devices (WOULD LOVE TO THIS).
    Other than that I dont really have a solution, and I kind of doubt anyone will unless its addressed in the next update.
    Oh I thought of one solution that doesnt require restarting firefox, disable the current audio device and the sound will automatically switch to the next available device. Or possibly when a new device is introduced?? I havent done much testing on the matter though. This is just my best guess based on my personal experience with firefox.

  • You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

    You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS.  My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
    Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine.  I use Internet Explorer 9.
    Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube.  On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version.  Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below).  I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
    Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
    Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
    Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing.  Re-enabled, but no change.  (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
    I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11.  Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop.  Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
    Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.

    Dear Chris,
    Thanks for reply.  I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version.  When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did. 
    Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand.  I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?).  Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight).  I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
    When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5".   So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this.  Do I click somewhere else?
    If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
    Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
    and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box.  Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change?  There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
    5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
      a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
      b.. Double-click Flash Player.
      c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.
      d.. Under Browsing Data and Settings, click Delete All.
    6. Remove Flash Player cache
      a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
      b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
      c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
      d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
      e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

  • Applescript works in Automator, but not when app is opened - running all if statements at once?

    Good evening,
    I am new to applescript and have a newbie question regarding the following code. I am making a simple automator program to pull songs from iTunes to practice dancing to. I've started the program with a script that lets the user choose which dances (s)he wants to be played. Then I use applescript to run if statements for each dance, checking whether the dance was selected (and is therefore in "danceList"). If so, I call a separate app to handle finding and playing that dance. The whole thing runs perfectly once opened in automator.
    The problem is when I try to open the app for the first time, whether in finder or in automator -- it calls every single one of the if-statement applications, all at once, before anything else has happened, and thus crashes itself. I have no idea why. I have searched various help sites, tried multiple variations of the if statement code (waltz is an example, below) and making the sub-applications into workflows, but that didn't help.
    Any advice or pointers in the right direction/to appropriate resources would be greatly appreciated.
    Here is a snippet from the relevant code: (didn't include it all, it's the same thing with more if statements)
    on run {danceList}
              if danceList is not null then
                        if danceList contains "Waltz" then
                                       tell application "waltz"
                                                      run
                                       end tell
                                       delay 110
                        else
                                       tell application "waltz"
                                                      quit
                                       end tell
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Tango" then
                                       tell application "tango"
                                                      run
                                       end tell
                                       delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Viennese Waltz" then
                                       tell application "viennese"
                                                      run
                                       end tell
                                       delay 110
                        end if
    ... and so forth ...
        end if
        return danceList
    end run

    Ok, let me try to do a better job explaining.
    I am making this app to simulate the rounds used in competitive ballroom dancing. It lets the user select the dances they will participate in, and then, for each dance, the program reads out the dance title, chooses all songs in iTunes with that genre, selects one at random, starts playing it, waits ninety seconds, and then stops the music. Then a twenty second pause before the next dance. I have made eleven apps for this; one is the main app that calls the others; the others are identical and handle the individual dances.
    Here is all the code I have:
    1. Ask for confirmation - dialogue box explaining app
    2. Get specified text - list of all dances, passed to first section of applescript
    3. First section of script - found on internet, altered for multiple selection; lets user choose multiple dances from a list (code is below pic)
    on run {input, parameters}
    choose item(s) from text
    input: text - items are delimited by paragraphs (returns/newlines)
    output: a list of paragraphs selected
              set output to {}
              set NameList to {}
              set NameList to paragraphs of (input as text)
      activate me
              set TheChoice to (choose from list NameList with title "Choose Dances" with empty selection allowed and multiple selections allowed)
              if TheChoice is false then
                        error number -128 -- cancel
              else
                        set output to TheChoice
              end if
              return the output -- pass the result to the next action
    end run
    4. Store value of variable as "danceList" - probably unnecessary but gave it a name
    5. Second section of applescript - what's been discussed previously, here's the full code:
    on run {danceList}
              if danceList is not "" then
                        if danceList contains "Waltz" then
                                  tell application "waltz"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Tango" then
                                  tell application "tango"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Viennese Waltz" then
                                  tell application "viennese"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Foxtrot" then
                                  tell application "foxtrot"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Quickstep" then
                                  tell application "quickstep"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Samba" then
                                  tell application "samba"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Cha cha" then
                                  tell application "chacha"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Rumba" then
                                  tell application "rumba"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Paso Doble" then
                                  tell application "paso"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
                        if danceList contains "Jive" then
                                  tell application "jive"
                                            run
                                  end tell
                                  delay 110
                        end if
              end if
              return danceList
    end run
    Here is the code for the waltz app. All the other dance apps are identical; they just search for different terms and have a different introduction spoken.
    1. Get specified text - "Next Round is the Waltz, etc."
    2. Speak text - reads text out loud so people know what's next
    3. Find iTunes tracks where genre is "Waltz" or "waltz"
    4. select these tracks
    5. store all these in variable "tracks"
    6. applescript to pick a random track from "tracks":
    on run {tracks}
              set maxNumber to count of tracks
              set randy to random number from 1 to maxNumber
              set chosenTrack to item randy of tracks
              return chosenTrack
    end run
    7. 3 second pause between speech and music
    8. Start playing the chosen track
    9. 90 second wait while track plays
    10. pause itunes (stop music)
    11. end app
    Again, my concern here is why the program runs fine once it has already been opened in automator (say second or third time running it there) but when run from finder, or first opened in automator, it calls all the dance apps at once. Then they give error messages because the speech section is first, and this can't be done simultaneously:
    Also, not sure if this is relevant, but I have a spinning gear in the corner of my mac that I believe is automator launcher, and it's showing all the apps as running even after I've ok'd their error messages and they have disappeared from the dock. I can exit waltz and danceApp, which are the two actually running, but the others won't stop until I've ended automator launcher in activity monitor.
    Hopefully this is more helpful. Thanks again.
