Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters?

I recently tried to install Adobe CMM, as a pop-up window suggested after I installed Photoshop CS5 on a new computer, running Win7x64 Ultimate. Before trying to install CMM, my Akvis Sketch Plug-In for Photoshop worked fine. Afterwards, Akvis Sketch runs under the filters menu, but will not accept mouse clicks from my Wacom tablet. Prior to Adobe CMM, all was fine. Somehow, the frustrating attempt to use Adobe CMM broke links to Akvis Sketch.
By the way, Adobe CMM setup tried to run and vanished without a trace - no indication of success or failure. CMM doesn't show on my control panel as installed software, so I can't de-install it.
I did un-install Akvis Sketch and re-install it. No luck as a filter, nor as a stand-alone program.
Additional point of interest - a second identical software/hardware workstation continues to run Akvis Sketch just fine because we didn't try installing Adobe CMM on that machine. It certainly looks like CMM is the culprit here.
Since Akvis Sketch is broken as a stand-alone, I doubt that de-activating, uninstalling and then re-installing, re-activating Photoshop CS5 will help, but it will take a lot of time to recreate actions and re-install other add-ins, plus preferences settings.
Has anyone else encountered problems with Adobe CMM clobbering Photoshop add-in filters, and have you found a work-around?

Thanks for your response. Recent evidence points to Wacom's tablet driver, not the plug-in.
Fact #1 - another identical system with ms mouse worked fine so I swapped out the Wacom tablet and bingo, the Akvis plug-in works again.
Fact #2 - So does Amazon's Kindle for PC app, which also quit working after running the Adobe CMM setup I'd downloaded.
Suggestion - since there's a legacy for CS5 users getting the "you should download CMM" pop-up, yet no need to do this, maybe Adobe should remove the CMM download page from its website - or flag this download as unneccessary for photoshop users. All Best, Charles Pierce.

  • New iMac user.  My mouse doesn't seem to work properly on websites.  I just want to be able to click and have it do whatever I've clicked on automatically, for example "print" or "open link".  Has anyone else had problems with their mouse?

    Has anyone else had problems getting used to their mouse and how the clicks work or don't work on the internet?  I click and it doesn't automatically do what I click on.  So frustrating!

    Hi ndearborn0273!
    This is most likely just a settings issue with your mouse that you are able to change through the System Preferences. I have an article for you that can help you set this back to default, and that article can be found right here:
    Mac Basics: Set your preferences
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
    Specifically, you will want to pay close attention to this section of that article:
    Customize your mouse
    The Mouse preferences pane looks different depending on what kind of mouse you use. These settings let you set the sensitivity of the mouse to control how fast the pointer moves across your screen when you move your mouse, and adjust for your double-click reflexes. Other controls may be available, depending on the type of mouse you're using.
    Open System Preferences.
    Choose View > Mouse, or simply click Mouse.
    To control how fast the pointer (cursor) moves across your screen when you move the mouse, click Point & Click and use the Tracking slider to adjust speed.
    If Double-Click Speed appears, you can use the Double-Click slider to adjust speed.
    If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can use the Scrolling slider to adjust speed.
    To change gesture settings, click the More Gestures tab. You can enable and disable gestures for swipe and Mission Control.
    Judging by your post, I believe your secondary click setting is set to use the left side of the mouse. The default set up for a former Windows user to be most comfortable would be having the secondary click set to the right side of the mouse, as is shown in the picture I have inserted above. Note that these settings will be explained by the little video on the right hand side of this window as you hover over the description of the action on the left hand side.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Has anyone else experienced problems with the disc burner/driver software not being found?

    I am trying to burn music onto a disc and it is telling me that the disc burner/driver software has not been found. Has anyone else experienced this with their MacBook Pro?

    SuperDrives wear out - it seems that yours might be on the verge of a mechanical failure. I'd just replace it, buying a new drive from Other World Computing and installing it yourself (because Apple would charge a small fortune).

  • Has anyone else had problems with there iTunes account? I have downloaded numerous ringtones

    i have downlloaded numerous ringtones from iTunes and then they disappear within hours.
    I Have sunk my phone into iTunes library on my desktop and it still allows them to vanish. I have the iPhone 6 and I have reported numerous problems and they re download but then disappear again. I went to Apple store and they see my phone is having a software issue but said to call apple for a refund, to rebuy my purchases. Is anyone else having problems ?

    I have also experienced this. I've downloaded the 'No Surprises' ringtone by Radiohead three times and every time I get charged for the ringtone by iTunes and every time it disappears after a while. This is really strange... I haven't talked to anyone at Apple about this, but I checked these forums out just now and, it seems, I'm not the only one with this problem.
    I'm using my brand new iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 8.1.1 and I'm thinking it's a software-related problem too...

  • Anyone else having problems with Adobe Flash Plugin Crashing on them?

    Ok. Me, along with several other people have been dealing with Adobe, regarding their Flash Plugin constantly crashing. The Plugin Container works well on Firefox, but because Adobe crashes alot, It runs up the CPU usage on the Plugin container which slows the browser down. Alot of us believe that the problem lies with Adobe's software, but so far no one at Adobe is willing to fess up and state that is the fact. So I am coming here to see if anyone has any answers that might help get Adobe's head out of their 3rd point of contact. The Problem is the Plugin crashes on any browser and any combination of Windows. Everything is updated on Firefox. Adobe plugin is updated along with other key software that is currently updated. Adobe still crashes. Anyone have any valid suggestions or ideas what could be causing this? I would like to have something that I can go back to Adobe with and give them and tell them where to start. I want this mess fixed. Its annoying as hell.

    They are looking into it, but they are moving incredibly slow. Meanwhile, They are getting unhappy customers who are trying to tweak their browsers in such a way to force Adobe to work for them so they can do what they need. I even had to lower the Plugin Containers priority setting to low so it doesn't hog the CPU so I can do what I need, If barely. Its just frustrating and I am doing what I can to come up with something I can hand Adobe and say Here! Now fix it. lol

  • Has anyone else had problems with the recent iMovie update?

    I installed the latest iMovie, iWeb, iDVD, QT, and Security update this morning. I restarted and opened an iMovie project and it crashed three times within about 10 minutes. All I was doing was editing some audio clips on the timeline, I wasn't even rendering anything.
    Just wondered if anyone else has had any problems since the update?

    I had a similar problem. After i extracted the audio track from a clip (so i can edit it down for a drop zone in iDVD) iMovie aborted and i couldn't get it to run correctly with that video again. Each time i tried to open it, iMovie would hang with the startup dialog saying there was less than a minute left to load the video.
    I trashed the video and pulled up my backup from my outboard drive (tedious; >.5hr over USB 2), i'm going to try again.
    I have QT Pro also (i upgraded for the file conversion features, mostly).

    I literally just called AT&T and Apple about this today.  I was having issues with iMessage and texting my husband.  His texts back to me would show up as my name.  Turns out it's because we share the same AppleID.  So, I'm currently trying to change mine, but it hasn't worked so far.  I'm on hold with Apple right now to see if I can get it fixed.
    Both of you have registered the same email address for iMessage. If you were using a shared Apple ID and you updated your phones to iOS5, the default will be the Apple ID. Go into settings and change it.

  • Has anyone else had problems with a total wipe out of their 1.8ghz iMac G5?

    My three year old iMac G5 just suddenly refused to power up and my engineer said that the board had gone completely and that it was uneconomic to repair.
    He said he knew as soon as I told him the problem that it would be a 1.8ghz machine because he has had so many others go the same way.
    Is anyone else in this extremely uncomfortable and expensive boat?

    I am in the same boat as you are. My imac will be 3 years old in Nov. We did not purchase the extended warranty. Last week it started "failing to launch" documents, iphoto, quicken, etc. We made an appt. at the genius bar for tonight. By midweek, it would not even come on. It would make a loud humming sound (like a hairdryer and just spin on a gray screen. Nothing.
    Tonight I was told by a "genius" that we will need to purchase a new logic board for over 900 dollars. He went on to say that we may as well purchase a new computer. I am in shock. There have been little issues all along, but I never expected this. It just never seemed to run right since day 1. Now I wish we would have investigated.
    I'm not sure what to do. We are thinking about turning away from mac. This was our first one and we were talked into buying it by very satisfied mac user friends. I'm so dissappointed.
    Our g5 does not fit into the first generation category. I already checked that. Any advice for this sad mac owner? Do you think my HD is in tact? He said that can be transferred to a new computer, but I'm so nervous. HELP!

  • Has anyone else had problems with the latest system updates to Mac OS X v10.6.8 with the java virus patch?

    After installing the latest updates to Snow Leopard the system hangs up and will not open properly.  This is the update to Java, etc after the virus was discovered.  I have done the updates on four different systems with the same result. 

    No problems with the Java update here, although I have Java disabled. Might try reapplying the Java standalone while in Safe Boot (Shift at startup chime), if you did it from Software Update.

  • Has anyone else had problems with nForce ethernet drivers 3.13 and abo

    Hi, I installed the previous version of the nForce unified drivers (2.03) and I have had problems with the latest version of the unified drivers also (2.41). These both have ethernet drivers "3.13 (WHQL) + TOT .NVU"
    They seem to be the ethernet drivers fault. If I install one of the latest versions of the unified drivers, windows does not boot up, it just hangs at windows logo. ?(
    If I remove the ethernet cards drivers using safe Mode, the system will boot up fine. I also have to re-install older versions of the ethernet drivers to get the system to boot.
    I am using the K7N2 motherboard with onboard ethernet.
    Any reasons/fixes would be great , cheers  :]
