Grey Screen when opening a old or new project in CS 5.1

Grey Screen when opening a old or new project in CS 5.1....I can then click on the outside of the screen and see the project screen but as soon as I release the mouse button it goes grey again. Any ideas?

Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

From the initial screen when I select Video Editor, new projects there is a purple and black line appears below the new project but the program does not open up.

Please help me with the above problem.

What operating system are you using?
Have you manually gone to the nVidia or ATI web sites and downloaded the latest drivers for your video card?

Illustrator CS6 Stops working in Windows 7 when Opening file or Starting new project

Just installed CS6 (legal copy with serial number) on Windows 7 (64bit) computer. Photoshop seems to work fine. Illustrator opens, but when I try to open an existing file or start a new file windows says the program has stopped working. I've already removed every Adobe product I could find on the computer and reinstalled. I also tried deleting the AppsData\Roaming\Adobe\AdobeIllustrator\en_US folder.

Try checking for permissions on these folders one by one: C:\Users\Current_User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Adobe Illustrator CSx Settings
Permissions on above folders should be R & W.
If these settings are fine then check for permissions on these folders at location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CSx\Presets\
Adobe Illustrator CSx
Presets
Permissions on above folders should atleast be 'Read' or 'Read & Write' both.
This might help. Since, it works for you using different user account then it is definitely a user permissions issue.

My G4 hangs on a grey screen when I try to boot in OS 9 help?!

I'm desperate! My mac G4 that I've been running for years with both OS X and OX 9 has been unable to boot in OS 9 and I've tried almost everything form option hold on restarts to shift (exrtensions off) zapping the pram etc. I know others have had this problem. I've researched a lot already. I used the same G4 and the same monitor and hardware and everything for years and this problem suddenly sprang up out of nowhere. I desperately need to get this machine to boot in OS 9 because I'm using Protools with many plugins and cards that are not supported on OS X. When I boot in OS X it acts fine no problem like it always did. When ever I try to boot in OS 9 it hangs on a grey screen and then freezes up before and happy face and or extensions have loaded etc.
One thing, and I don't know how important this may be, is that the first time I encountered this problem was after I had attached a USB hub to my computer which had been sitting unused for some weeks and the Hub somehow made the computer start up when I plugged in the USB cable to the USB Hub?! After that OS 9 has refused to boot period no matter what I do. I can run some apps in the classic environment but cannot boot to OS 9 at all ever.
I read in one forum where a guy did an open firmware reset and got some error messages that had to do with USB. He was having the same problem the grey screen when trying to boot on OS 9.
Does any one have an answer Please I'm almost ready to give up!

Hey me back again month later. Well I have tried everything. I even pulled the hard drive out of my G4 and replaced it with a tested and working hard drive which had only OS9 installed on it. In other words that computer had two choices boot into OS 9 or hang on a grey screen. There was no other system present to boot into, so after chiming and starting the boot process it just hangs on the grey screen again. So I guess what Steve Jobs meant when he said OS 9 is dead is that they killed OS 9 because my machine will not look at any OS 9 system folder regardless of whether OS X exists on the machine or not. I tried to reboot holding down option command P R and after the second chime grey screen again. I've read that OS 9 requires some small folder or bytes to be recognized in order to boot which it is obvious newer versions of OS X purposely and maliciously delete in order to make it inoperable. My protools gear works fine I've rested it on other machines. The only way that I can use it is to be able to boot into OS9. Which has been corrupted by OS X. They say you can format a disc with OS 9 drivers but I see no such option using OS 10.4 tiger so I'm not sure what they are talking about.
So here is my question. Why would a G4 450mghz machine with a working OS 9 hard disc installed with no other system folders available not boot after it chimes and begins the start up process. If it is because running OS 10.4 disables the OS 9 drivers and corrupts the machine so that it can never look at a OS 9 again let's just admit that and say OK Steve was right OS 9 is dead but it did not die of natural causes.

Press the power button down to force a emergency hardware shutdown and hold the option/alt key down and reboot
If you see your OS X boot partition, then click it and the arrow, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reset it. Done.
Folder with question mark issue
If that doesn't it, then do a #2 PRAM reset and try the above again.
..Step by Step to fix your Mac
If no OS X boot volume appears in Startup Manager, then OS X is corrupted.
Try more of the Steps above (like 1-8) then if that doesn't work.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Once you got your data off, erase and reinstall OS X onto the MacintoshHD partition and then restore from TimeMachine or bootable clone if you have it. or build new and return users files from the data recovery drive.
Most commonly used backup methods
If the drive doesn't appear in Disk Utility it might be dead or there are further complications let us know for further assistance.

Grey screen when startup

My macbook pro shows grey screen when I start the computer after I heard the sound of start. What's wrong?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Reader 9.0, 9.1, 9.1.2 blue screening when opening multiple PW protected files

I have a user, using MSOffice 2k3, who get a blue screen when opening multiple password protected files thru Outlook. The error suggests to update the BIOS, which has been done. This occurrs in all 3 versions of Reader 9. It specifically occurrs AFTER he inputs the password in the PW box. It does not matter which file he opens 1st. Any assistance would be appreciated.

No, you are wrong (Gene & Mike). First, the forms, at least my forms, have NOT been edited since being created in designer. They were created and saved directly to flash. Second, this issue has been posted on the acrobat forum as well as the life cycle designer forum and both thread were ended with adobe expert posts saying it was an adobe reader issue and to post here.
I have experimented more with this issue and it seems to be a 'trusted identity' issue within reader, but I have not wholely figured it out yet. My forms work on Reader, 7, 8, and 9. They work on all versions of 7 and 8 regardless of what the form was optimized for (my forms were optimized for 9 and higher). The only trouble is on 9.0. I have found that when updating on client machines, reader gives a prompt (sometimes) that says reader has found a set of trusted identities from a previous version, would you like to use these identies or create a new set of identities. If you choose to keep the existing trusted identies set, the form works, even when upgraded to reader 9.0
Not trying to be argumentative (Mike and Gene) but the 'experts' bail on this issue by telling people it's a reader problem and to post here.

Black screen when opening in .pdf

I'm having problems with opening the C5-project in .pdf. Some people get a black screen when opening the .pdf file (version 9 or higher), most of the time it goes well, but 1 out of 10 times it doesn't work. I have know idea what could be the cause of the black screen (use of laptop?).
Now it is impossible to send this project to our stakeholders, because I don't know whether it works or not.
Does anyone recognize this and knows why this happens, and how to solve this?

There was a recent patch released by Adobe for Captivate 5 that addressed a similar black screen issue in Captivate SWFs.
You can get the patch here: http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html
It may turn out to fix your issue as well.

I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
I hope I helped
thanks

You have 2 unreachable statements in this method.
public static int eval(String s2, String op, String s3) {
return lookup(s2);
return lookup(op);
return lookup(s3);
} You're missing a } at the end of this method:
public static int lookup(String s) {
    for(int k = 0; k < symbols.length; k++){
        String symbol = symbols[k];
        if(s.equals(symbol))
            return k;
    }You have some loose } and ; at the end of the file:
public static void main(String args[])
commandline();
}

How do I turn on my MacBook Air if only grey screen when powered up.

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert

Priemier Elements 12 pops up a error screen when opening project." No disc in drive E.Please insert disc to continue." My DVD drives are F and D. What do I have to do to get rid of this error?

charkmapman
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
In versions of Premiere Elements earlier than 12, the answer for that type of "No disc" message was usually related to SmartSound/Sonicfire Pro 5 feature. But, there is no SmartSound/SonicfirePro 5 feature in version 12, only Music Scores without the SmartSound name.
Consequently, I would suggest an uninstall, do a ccleaner run through (regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts), reinstall.
