Fix for broken tool cursors in PS Elements 7 with Windows 8.1?

I have Photoshop Elements 7 and have been perfectly happy with it for editing photos/images as a hobby on my older Windows XP and Windows 7 PCs. I have no real need to upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12. I just installed  Windows 8.1 on my new Surface Pro and now all the tool cursors in PS Elements 7 are broken. Reinstalling PS Elements 7 did not work. All the  tools which use an actual graphic for a cursor appear distorted. What can I do to fix this?

Generally that's caused by the system dpi scaling
(the triple cursor effect)
Go to Control Panel>Appearance and Personalization>Make text and other items larger or smaller
Then try adjusting the size to Smaller
You might have to use Let me choose one scaling level for all my displays and use the Custom sizing options and choose something like 124% or 149%

    Fix for a bug: After playing a hide effect, a window wouldn't be visible again.
    The issue here is that all effects that occur because of HIDE end up calling setVisible() (see EffectManager.effectEndHandler).  Window/WindowedApplication was basically left with two concepts of setVisible...the displayObject one and the native application one, and they were out of synch.  So setting visible=true on the window wasn?\226?\128?\153t calling setVisible(true) which controls the display object visibility.  Now instead of doing our work in the visible setter, we override setVisible() and do it in there.

    I run Suse 9.1 Linux, and Suse has a package called lmsensors which by default on my machine gives readings like this:
    Code: [Select]
    temp1:       +27°C  (high =    +0°C, hyst =   +22°C)   sensor = thermistor
    temp2:     +41.0°C  (high =   +80°C, hyst =   +75°C)   sensor = PII/Celeron diode 
    Now that 41C is pretty high for an idle AMD643000+ running at 1000Mhz, 1.08V. Too high, I would say. temp 1 in this case is the SYS temp, temp2 is the CPU temp.
    Now, using lmsensors I can duplicate your little trick and tell it that temp 2 is in fact a 3904 transistor. Having done this can I get readings like this:
    Code: [Select]
    temp1:       +27°C  (high =    +0°C, hyst =   +22°C)   sensor = thermistor
    temp2:     +16.0°C  (high =   +80°C, hyst =   +75°C)   sensor = 3904 transistor 
    Problem is, I'm not sure that the sensor is actually a 3904 transistor! The number's lower, but I was pretty sure that the sensor in the AMD64 is in fact a diode. Also, surely the CPU temp can't actually be that much lower than the SYS temp.
    So, I think your fix succeeds in giving lower temps and that's great in that it will tell your system software that the CPU is not overheating, but I don't think it's the solution to high temp reporting. Anyway, as you say, its a solution for people who can't run with system shutdowns due to bogus high temps.  
    I've been looking at these temp issues with the MSI K8T, and I was thinking the problem was simply a miscalibration. The Winbond sensor chip on my board (maybe the K8N is the same, maybe not) has a sensor temp offset that gets added to the temp coming from the sensor. On the K8T this number is +54C.   Funny number I know, but I've "fixed" the problem while I wait for a real bios fix on the K8T by simply reducing this offset to give me a CPU temp that matches SYS temp when idle. This enables cool'n'quiet fan control to work properly on my system, which is my main practical concern.

  • How can I have a single cursor using elements 9 with Windows 7?

    Currently the cursor on my screen is 3 small boxes in place of the single arrow.  I am using Photoshop Elements 9 With Windows 7.  I have loaded the patch files currently in the Adobe system without any success.

    Thank-you that solved the issue.

  • Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

    Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

    I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
    Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
    Hope this helps.

    First all, please don't write in all caps.  Dificult to read and very rude, it's like shouting.

  • I am running Premier Elements 11 with Windows 8.1. The font size is so small Elements is unusable.

    I am running Premier Elements 11 with Windows 8.1. The font size is so small Elements is unusable. Is there a fix or workaround for this problem? My computer is Dell XPS13.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Sorry that the display is not better. You are correct - in Windows 8.1 64 bit
    Control Panel
    Appearance and Personalization
    Display
    the choices are 100% and 125%.
    There are some user "Custom Sizing Options" and other under that. But, if you have all the settings maximized, it would seem that you have
    the best viewing situation for your particular setup.
    I do not see the opportunity for improving your situation in this matter moving to Premiere Elements 12/12.1 or 13/13.1.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.

    Thanks

    Saving each image as different size - is it an option for you?  I would save images with their name as: 20x30.png, 16x20.png etc etc.
    Or explain whether you want these in a webpage  in which case only one image is necessary and different sizes are displayed with good CSS code.  this is question for Dreamweaver forum if this is what you want.

  • How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

    How do add .mov files in Premiere Elements 11 with Windows 8? I get a generic error message.

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your quick response. The original movies were taken on a Canon ES970 (1990's). I don't know the resolution but things were not as high tech back then.,.. I used a Roxio software to convert them on my MacBook Air. I didn't realize that I could use Adobe Premiere Elements to do that or I would have. However my old camera did not have a cable to attach it to a computer and the Roxio software came with it.
    I then saved the recordings on an external hard drive. I did not make movies from them using iMovie or edit them in any way. They are simply .MOV files and they can be played on my Mac. Upon realizing how much memory it takes to work on videos, I decided it might be easier to burn DVD's on my husband's  new Dell desktop that came with Windows 8. I downloaded Quicktime as suggested and still the movies can't be added to Premiere.

    I was able to download the Adobe tryout for Premiere Elements 13 to my Windows 7 64 bit computer, but it would not install as per Adobe's statement that Premiere Elements 13 on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Mac OSX 10.7 is not supported.
    If Window XP is your only computer, then you probably will be able to download the Premiere Elements 13 tryout but not install it.
