How do I run Photoshop CS6 in Windows 8?

I've seen other questions about this, but none had any useful answers.
Here's the dilemma:
I have Photoshop CS6 on my Windows 7 laptop, and it works fine. But, for Christmas I received a Toshiba Notebook with Windows 8. I tried the trial of Windows 8 on my other laptop a few months ago, but since it was so new not too many programs worked on it. For instance, my VisTablet didn't have updated drivers for Windows 8. Luckily, they do now, but I'm still having the same problem I did with Photoshop CS6 last time. It starts up, and I can see it in my Task Manager. BUT, it dies. It just shuts itself down. I don't receive any errors or notifications. I don't know how to explain it. It's there one minute, but then you notice the dropping numbers and then it's gone.
Has any body else had this problem? And, can any body help solve this issue?
Thank you in advance.

  • Bug? Can't Drag and Hold Mouse Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8 RP

    I am having a few problems with the current Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8RP.
    At first it was only the tilit shift and iris but it turns out it's everything to do with when you need to hold the mouse button and drag. It seems that the problem is isolated to Photoshop as other Adobe programmes are working fine plus other programmes and Windows generally is also fine.
    I am using an Nvidia GTX580 with Windows 7 drivers until the proper version comes which is late of course!
    Plus, I uninstalled my Intellipoint and keyboard drivers too and connected a generic mouse via USB and I still get the same problem.
    Weirdly though, every (let's say) 20 times I try to drag and hold after constantly restarting Photoshop it works once then I have to try again a load of times by restarting the application.
    Any ideas?

    I'm running photoshop cs6 on windows 8 RP 64 bits and haven't seen that problem
    and i didn't see that on the consumer preview either.
    This is the driver i'm using:
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-64bit-296.17-preview-driver.html
    Just watch that windows update doesn't try to sneak in there own driver.
    It happened to me twice until i changed the automatic updates to notify
    and also watch that doesn't happen with your monitor profile as well.
    The updated Nvidia drivers for rp are supposed to be released sometime this coming week.
    Do you have any third party plugins or do you have the scriptlistener installed?
    Did you try resetting the photoshop preferences or difference modes under the Advanced setting for the the graphics processor under preferences>preformance in photoshop?

  • Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems

    Is anyone running Photoshop CS6 on a Windows Vista 32 bit machine  without problems? I have over 400 GB,s  free disc space (c drive) and still am getting lots of errors and program closing problems.  I do not have USB3 on my machine so if I purchased a few 256  GB ssd drives would this help it from crashing?
    Thank you in advance for any guidance.

    Jack, as Curt has suggested, available drive space comes well down the list regards a happy experience with Photoshop.   You have also asked a self-defeating question, because the fact you are running Vista, and a 32bit version at that, more or less precludes the ability to run without problems.
    Windows 7 was billed as the first MS OS to need less system resources than its predecessor.  If your system hardware will support 64bit, then consider paying $90 for an OS upgrade  What is your system out of interest?  I have a feeling you are running with just 2Gb RAM, which just isn’t enough.  Post your specs or make and model, and I am sure you’ll get some help with what your mainboard will handle by way of RAM and whether it will support 64bit.

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.

    You need to run a platform swap:

    Until it's through, you can use the trial version.

  • Photoshop CS6 extended-Windows explorer crash

    Hi! I run Photoshop CS6 extended, student edition and recently, I'm having an error every time I work with Photoshop.

    Hi, I'm having  Videotron security services, I don't know much more about it. It's from my Internet provider, I'm paying every month. I think windows defender is active on my computer. I desinstall the antivirus I had when I bought the computer, I think it was macfee. As I have my own security system, I got rid of it.
    The problem is recent, a week or so. Everything was running perfectly. Might it be related to any windows updates?
    Thanks for your support.
