Bridge CS6 dialog boxes all have black background

All of the dialog boxes in my Bridge CS6 have black writting on a black backgroud which makes all of them unusable. I have tried uninstalling / reinstalling Photoshop to try and fix this but there is no change. Should I uninstall of my CS6 applications and try the install again?

I'm moving this thread over to our download/installation forum.

Characters in Dialog Box all 'As in boxes'

When i start up the characters in my dialog boxes are all As in boxes. This means I cant read what they are, and I cant find the answers anywhere online. How do I get my dialog boxes to be readable again?

The two most common causes are corrupt fonts, and/or corrupt font caches. The simple thing to try first is to clear the cache data.
Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Foxtel on T-Box -- all Foxtel channels suddenly not working

Hi I would really appreciate some help. We have happily had, used and (I daresay) loved our T-Box for the past 5 years. And then I made the fatal mistake of subscribing to Foxtel on T-Box about 6 weeks ago, as I wanted to legally watch Game of Thrones. (Please don't laugh at me spending $65 per month to watch one TV show; I am trying to do the right thing!) Suffice to say, the love affair with our T-Box is over. Foxtel on T-Box worked fine for a couple of weeks. (My original setup was a T-Box 1, connected via a strong WiFI signal via HDMI to plasma TV). And then all of a sudden, about 4 weeks ago, I began losing all Foxtel channels. Instead of the channel coming up, I get a black screen with a message at the top of the screen that says "Loading internet channel, please wait". And sometimes, I also get a message at the bottom of the screen which says "Cannot start playback, please try again later (0612)". A wierd thing is that through all of the problems with Foxtel on the T-Box described in this post, using the exact same account/subscription, Foxtel has continued to work percetly fine via the Foxtel Go app on my iPad and PC. Since out Foxtel channels started not working, I have called Telstra support about 5-6 times. As a result of these calls, I have purchased a T-Box 2 and it connected via ethernet instead of WiFi. (BTW, this didn't change anything and IMHO was a complete waste of $99.) The Telstra support person has apparently done all he/she can on their end. And I have also reloaded subscriptions, reset licences, reformatted the hard drive, reset the T-Box(s) on more occasions than I can count - about 10x. My ADSL2+ internet speed is not great, but it should be OK. It's usually about 5-7Mbps download and 0.5-1Mbps uplaod (as measured by http://vic.speedtest.bigpond.net.au). As I mentioned above, even when the Foxtel channels don't work on the T-Box, it works fine via the Foxtel Go app on my iPad and PC. Sometime doing these things get the channels to work again, by trying one thing after another, but usually it does not. On the rare occasion when the Foxtel channels do somehow come back, neither the Telstra support person nor I, know what happened to make them work. The issue has been escalated to a "Level 2 support person" who is investigating. But he/she has been investigating for the past 2 weeks, and hasn't been any help at all so far. I now keep getting fobbed off by the Telstra support person, with no commitment about when the "Level 2 support person" will do anything or when he/she will call me. Whilst the Telstra support people I talk to are perfectly polite - so far no-one can solve this problem. This is very, very, very frustrating! If you have had similar issues and fixed them, can you please let me know how? If you are a Telstra support person monitoring this forum, how can I progress fixing this problem? Cancelling my Foxtel on T-Box subscription is not what I want to do, but right at the moment I have no confidence that anyone from Telstra has any idea what is going on or how to fix it. Any support would be grately appreciated. Michael PS: And if I hear another Telstra support person ask "Can I help with anytthing else today?" -- when they haven't been any help whatsoever WRT the problem I called up about -- I am going to scream!

I'm in the same boat, into Week 3 of losing all my Foxtel Channels, Lost anything that says Foxtel. Channel 958 doesnt have any reference to Foxtel. Reset over 10times, Router & Tbox Reset & turned off for the Day.
No Foxtel Channels show up in the Guide. First I had the error messages, then everything was wiped when asked to reset with a Telstra Customer Support Person. Then got invalid channel numbers on all Foxtel, & lost all Info to anything Foxtel.
7 Customer Support persons & 14hours of Phone calls & complaints, no one has an answer how to get my Subscription Back. They can see that I have a Subscription but don't know how or why this has happened.
Have also got Foxtel on the job looking for answers as well as Telstra.
I have been using Computers for 30years & can't believe no one knows how to fix it.
The Tech Crew at Telstra said that my line speed had slowed due to the fact I don't have Foxtel on anymore.
I asked my Wife to ask the Customer Support person to get the Tech to Email that Answer in writing to us so I can show the Communication Ombudsman people, but all they send are Emails about "I hope we have helped you with your query" & can you complete the online survey.
What they need to do is a full diagnostics / firmware reload, but it seems no one knows how to do that.
Sorry I can't help!

Preview Shows Dialog Box All The Time

Hi. Before Preview didn't show the dialog box when I open it (photo below), it knows the last documents I opened and it launches that. How can I fix and bring it back to normal? There seems to be something wrong with its resume. I run two anti-virus, Sophos & ClamX AV, OS X is clean. I've also repaired permission.
Thank you in advance. God bless.

Some sub menus icons are just grey boxes all of a sudden

Recently some of the sub menu icons in Netflix, MLB, and others have been showing up as grey boxes only. When highlighted, the name under the icon is there, but no picture. If I access the item, on the next screen it works perfectly and the picture or jacket photo is there. They have disappeared. Everything else works perfectly. I have an Apple TV, Gen 2.

Thanks for the advise. In the end, I unplugged the Apple TV, waited 5 minutes and then plugged it back in. That seems to have done the trick as the icon pictures are back.

Why are my browsers suddenly displaying foreign language?

and how do i fix it. both safari and ff started displaying some content (not all) in foreign characters. for example, going to cnn.com, some article headers are no longerr english. or on wikipedia's english site, most of the content is no longer in english. anyone know how can fix this. and for the record, apple.com is still in english. thanks.

Where are you located? I have lived in Mexico for years and have had all my sights in English, just last month all my sites defaulted to Spanish, I had to go into preferences on each program and put the default language into English. I am not sure why it started to do this, and it was a pain to go into all the programs and change it. One note though, Facebook can take several tries to default to English and it will at times revert back to Spanish when it wants. If you are in the U.S. your default should be English and I would check my internet address to make sure it is a U.S. address. Their are several sites you can go to check this. this site will tell you where your IP is from. http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?Getlocation

Photoshop CS5 pop-ups (Dialog boxes) will not stay / stick in place

My pop-up / dialog boxes have always opened in the same place as I had placed them from the previous time I had used them. All of a sudden they will no longer stick / stay, they open in the center of the page.
For example when I first open PS and I click Ctrl > C for Brightness / Contrast the box will open in the center of the page. If I move it to the side (so its not in the working area) it should open in that spot the next time I use it.
But now it will always open in the center of the page regardless of where I have placed it before. Very annoying it have to move the dialog boxes all the time.

What OS are you running?
I know of no way Windows can cause that, but I don't know about OS X.
If you can't find a direct solution, it might be a case where a complete Photoshop preferences reset to defaults could help... Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously (or Command - Shift - Option if on a Mac) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

Foreign Language in Print Dialog for Officejet K5400

HP Officejet Pro K5400 on Windows XP
Although the tabs and the first screens in the print dialog box are in English, suddenly there is a foreign language in the dialog boxes under Properties. For example, under features (English tab), the Paper Type is Almindelgt papir and the Paper Source is Valg automatisk. Photo fix is Fra, Grundlaeggende, or Fuld.
I have searched online and found instructions for changing an HP dll file for several printer models but not this one.
Uninstalling and reinstalling from the CD or as a fresh download from HP did not fix it.
I suspect it has something to do with new installation of Adobe Reader X, but uninstalling it did not fix it.
I called HP tech support and was told to call Microsoft.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!

Little white dialog boxes - no data.

I'm getting little white dialog boxes all the way across the screen that contain no data when using Safari. They can be closed and expanded and seem to appear infrequently.
Any idea what they are?
Thank you for responses.

I'd start by setting Safari - Preferences - Extensions to Off & seeing if that makes any difference.

All of a sudden i'm getting this pop up box saying 'could not complete your request. File is locked. ' Did i mistakenly lock the file by pressing a button without realizing it?

That's an error from the OS leaking into Photoshop. It is due to a bug in MacOS 10.10 that occurs in the open and save dialogs (which are controlled by the OS). Apple is aware of this and working on solutions.
Some people have had luck changing the view in the open/save dialogs to grid view or list view.

I just statred Flash CC for the first time and it seems that the text within the pop-up window (dialog box) is mis-aligned and not allowing me access to the command buttons, nor all the text. (ie: the NEW Template Box, can't see but 2/3 of the content)

All Office 2010 Applications Slow To Produce "OPEN" or "SAVE AS" Dialog Box ONLY When PC Connected To Network

Hello all,
Frustrating problem: ALL Office 2010 apps require a 45 second delay to produce an "open" or "save as" dialog box when the computer is connected to a LAN (wireless or wired, domain or workgroup). When the computer is NOT connected to a LAN (wireless or wired,
domain or workgroup), then Office 2010 "open" or "save as" dialog boxes open normally (and quickly).
I suspect a network search/survey function internal to MS Office is at fault.
This is NOT the infamous mapped network drive problem associated with Office 2007/2010. There are no mapped drives (nor have there ever been) on the PC, although there might exist a related solution. Additionally, there is no 45 second delay when opening
a file by double-clicking on the file itself which will launch the application.
Other information:
1. PC runs Windows 7 Pro 32 bit - PC is a relatively new Lenovo T400 laptop, all updates from Lenovo and MS installed, running clean and nicely otherwise, no spyware, no viruses, no previous software or hardware issues requiring assistance. Event log is
clean.
2. Absolutely fresh installation of Office 2010 Pro Plus (MS Action Pack)
3. Running Office apps in safe mode does not alter problem behavior (ie, "windword.exe /a" or use CTRL key and double-click to launch app)
4. Running Windows 7 in safe mode with networking and then subsequently testing Office apps is not possible: "license not able to validate" issue. This is a known problem and is not related to the slow dialog box response behavior.
5. A desktop PC with the same MS Office 2010 installation, same volume license key, on the same network does NOT produce this problem.
6. Full uninstall, reboot, and re-install of Office 2010 does not alleviate problem
7. Disabling ALL startup items and services (including, of course, ALL Lenovo management software) does not alleviate problem
8. SMB v2 bug is not the problem: ie, disabling mrxsmb20 service does not alleviate symptoms.
9. I have isolated "Client for Microsoft Networks", "QOS Packet Scheduler", "Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver" (and Responder), and "Printer and File Sharing for MS Networks" in the network adapter properties are NOT causing the issue.
10. Using Sysinternals Registry Monitor, I was able to determine that Office apps evaluate certain properties of your Internet Explorer settings before attempting to launch the "open" or "save as" dialog box. Altering the way intranets are detected, for
example, does not alleviate the symptoms.
11. Turning off Antivirus software (Avira Personal) does not alleviate the issue.
This issue is causing a huge loss of work efficiency. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Rick

Hello Rick,
Through all the research I have done so far and talking with a few other coworkers what the common issues that cause this are is:
1. Antivirus: disabling the antivirus is not good enough it needs to be totaly uninstalled and retested.
2. startup programs: these need to be disabled through either Safe mode with networking or the start menu or MSconfig.
3. Office addins: Disable all of them see if that helps. Then turn them back on one by one to see which addin is causing the issue.
To disable addins: 1. open up regedit and navigate to this key. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Addins and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Word\Addins
Then change the LoadBehavior to 0 this will disable the addin. 3 lets it run. Since this affected only one user HKEY_LOCAL_USER might be your best bet but don't rule out the other location.
To verify there are no addins running go to the File tab>options>Add-Ins make sure nothing is listed under Active Application Add-ins.
I hope this helps
Thanks,

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.
