Help!!! CS4 freezes over and over again

Hello,
my Photoshop CS4 all the sudden starts to freeze, sometimes on even opening a jpg, sometimes when resizing an image, sometimes when I use the lasso tool, for no apparent reason.
Its so bad that at times it freezes my complete pc.
At first I had the note with the display driver and some freezes. I googled, updated my drivers, nothing got better, I updated CS4, nothing got better on the opposite the freezes got worse, I disbled font preview as I heard that could cause problems it didnt help either.
I use windows 7, and my graphic card is a Nvidia Geforce GTX 480
The problem started some weeks ago for no apparent reasons (no new plugins, nothing changed on my PC) and got worse by the day.
I as well emptied temp files and did reset my preferences, nothing helped

If it freezes the entire machine, you're looking at an OS bug, a low level driver bug, or bad hardware.
The most common cause is defective RAM, followed by defective motherboards, hard drives, and power supplies.
We have seen some video card drivers cause lockups.

    If it doesn't finish downloading then just click Store>Check For Available Downloads
    There is no need to keep re-buying it.

  • "Sign In To iCloud" keeps popping up over and over again - HELP!

    Hi,
    Recently I have been having trouble trying to fix my issue with my second hand iPhone 5 (32gb). About 5 months ago I had bought this iPhone and everything was fine. Until yesterday a message popped up stating that I need to sign in to iCloud. The apple ID was not mine nor did I know this email so I tried pressing cancel but it kept popping up over and over again. I cannot do anything to my phone right now and had tried searching up for a solution to this extremely annoying problem but found no fix. My phone is connected to Wifi and I've tried rebooting, but haven't restored and reset since I'm scared that it might turn up to be an activation lock. I have tried contacting Apple Support but they've put me to hold for a very long time which I can't do anything about and I'm afraid that I have come to a dead end. Also, I've tried contacting the owner of the iCloud account but they haven't replied yet so I'm anxiously waiting for a solution. Please, PLEASE PLEASE help me since I'm desperate for an answer and will need a phone in the next few days.
    Best regards,
    Andy- iPhone 5, iOS 7.1

    I have the loop issue solved. It seems it was as simple as turning the wifi back on. It got shut off and I was unaware. It was really hard to go through the settings menu with the sign in box continually popping up. Thanks for offering to help.

  • I can no longer update apps on my iPhone or iPad1.  It keeps asking me to agree to new terms, which I do, then stops and asks again over and over. Please help. I do not want to update to a new iOS

    I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4 or my iPad 1 because it keeps asking me over and over to agree to new terms, so I do that and it still does not work.  Just around and around in a circle.  I do not want to update software. I like what I have.

  • Ive uninstalled and re-installed over and over, firefox crashed like a week ago, everytime i try and open it, it wont it puts up the crash box again and again. why? pleez can you help my firefox will not load.

    everytime i try and open firefox it crashes i click to restart it and send report but its the same thing over and over nuthin changes, i used firefox up till like week ago now it will open period.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • Iphont battery meter not working/ push notifications not working/restarting over and over again.

    A few weeks ago, I went on a vacation out of the country. I had my iphone 5 on airplane mode for a week. When I got back and turned it off of airplane mode, it started restarting over and over again right after being plugged into the charger. Eventually, it seems to get ahold of itself and stops turning on and off, but the phone battery meter freezes where ever it is at that point. If it has 100% battery, it says it has 100% battery until it dies. If it only has 1% battery, I'll leave it on the charger long enough to have 100%, but it will still say 1%. The battery life itself is not any different. According to the meter, my phone will stay on all day with 1%. Also, after being dead, my phone would turn on immediately after being plugged in (rather than waiting a few minutes to get enough charge as usual). I think this is because since my phone does not know how much battery it has, it thinks it has enough to turn on right away.
    I visited the apple store, and they told me to restore it as a new phone. When I did this, it did not work at first. But after a day, my phone battery life meter started working normally again, and it stopped doing the turn on/turn off continuously thing. BUT imessage no longer worked. It said "waiting for activation" for two weeks. Also, push notifications no longer worked. Every time I openned an app, it would notify my that i could not have push notifications and to connect to itunes. Certain apps wouldnt work at all (snap chat, lulu). They would just give the alert about push notifications over and over again.
    I wanted imessage back, so I restored my phone as new once again. This time, imessage, push notification, snapchat, ect. started working again. But, it has gone back to not knowing how much battery life it has and restarting over and over again after being turned on from a dead state. WHAT DO I DO?! I don't want to have either of these problems. It's kind of like my phone has a virus.
    note: the first time i turned it on after coming back from vacation, it said "no sim card" for a few minutes.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Data acquisition time not continuous, but starting over and over again

    Hi,
    My data acquisition time is not continuous but loops over and over
    again.  Could someone please take a look at my vi to see if you
    have any thoughts on how to fix this.  Also, I tried to set up my
    vi so that I could take the mean of the signal at any time I
    choose.  However, at the same instance that the data acquistion
    time "starts over" again, the mean is calculated (before I trigger it to take the mean)
    I have attached my vi and my output file as a text file so that what
    I'm trying to say will (hopefully) make a bit more sense. 
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding to my question. Attached is the vi with added
    comments as to what I think I am doing.  By DAQ time, I mean the
    first column of data that is in the data file that I attached
    previously.  I am only simulating a signal (at the beginning) so
    that I can program in my office.  I do, however, have the same
    problem as stated above when I change the simulate signal to DAQmx
    using my instrument.
    I hope this clearer.  If not, I'll try again. 
    Thanks so much!
