I just installed Photoshop and the menus are tiny, unusable

I just installed Photoshop and the program interface is tiny, I need a magnifying glass to see the menus. Windows 8. All my other apps installed fine. Why would Photoshop do this?
It's basically unusable.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for moving this topic...I couldn't find it in the Photoshop General Discussion though, so I'm replying here. I managed to find a workaround (not a solution). After finally finding another text adjustment setting*, and despite warnings from my computer, I was able to find a resolution combination that worked, and made Photoshop look normal. I looked at my other (almost identical) laptop where Photoshop IS working and used that resolution.
(Why couldn't a single support person from four companies, in hours of chats and calls, think of that?) After changing the resolution, things got huge, but a popup came up saying 250%, which altered me. I changed it to 125%, then all was good.
(* the "windows 8 display setting screens do not show this adjustment, you have to go to another control panel window to see the text adjustment....Windows 8 is so cryptic.),
Hopefully this will save some other ******* days of headache. Unfortunately I can't run at my new laptop's resolution but at least I can get back to work.
Default setting - 3200x1800 250% text size
New setting - 1600x900 125% text size
Maybe Adobe could fix this problem. All my other Adobe apps look fine at 3200x1800.
Thanks.

I just installed Photoshop and want to use it as the external editor. I also have PS Elements on the computer and the only external editor I can get iPhoto to recognize is PSE. Any help in changing the external editor to PS would be appreciated!

Welcome. I am using Photoshop CS5 and this works fine for me. Possibly Adobe has changed this in CS6. Hopefully, LarryHN will have further suggestions. Best.

One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry. If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's. The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones. We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back. Now try the camera ...Fixed! It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again.

Just installed Lion and the Magic TrackPad and I am having a problem with one click commands. I have to hit the pad fairly hard with one finger to get it to accept the command. Is this normal, is there another way that I am suppose to execute commands?

No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

I just installed Lion and the newest version of Logic express 9 (9.1.5) and every time i playback audio I get this error message: [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) . Never had any issues before now...

I just installed OSX Lion (10.7.2) and updated to the newest version of Logic express (9.1.5) on a macbook and every time I playback audio I get this error message: [Disk is too slow or System Overload. (-10010) The Sudden Motion Sensor may have parked the hard drive head, or the disk performance is not sufficient to read or write all audio tracks, or the system was not able to process all data in time]
Never had any issues before now... any ideas?

Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
You'll have to setup the program again.
cheers

Attempted to install Photoshop and the update encountered an error. How do I fix this?

I literally just downloaded Creative Cloud and PS so there shouldn't be anything on my computer conflicting with the download.
Every time I click on the update button it gives me an error message: "Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support. (49)." It has done this a lot, and I've restarted my computer too.

Shxnnxn please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html for information on how to resolve Error 49.

Just installed Firefox, and the page won't load. It says unable to connect. Already deleted and reinstalled and followed some tips on the website. It's still not working? Help.

I downloaded Firefox 4 on another laptop without issue (it has windows 7). I downloaded it again on another computer (a lil older with Windows Vista) and it wouldn't open from the very beginning. I fixed the firewall as stated in the help section. I also updated the internet connection settings as stated in the help section. I also deleted and reinstalled it twice, but nothing still works. :-(

Did you ever fix this, because I am having the same problem

We've just downloaded Maverick and the new final cut 10.1. On two separate computers it has crashed and we have lost our entire project that we were editing. Not sure if it is a final cut problem or maverick. Any suggestions on how to get the timeline

We just installed maverick and the new final cut. On 2 separate computers we have had it crash while using final cut and have lost the project. Now we are reading that our time machine is not working with maverick. Any suggestions on how to get timeline back from the new final cut? Thought it was suppose to save automatically.

Is this the mac app store version? A number of people are having this problem. This is what adobe recommended in the past for fixing the problem, but as far as I know it doesn't work in Yosemite:
Mac App Store version is German | Photoshop Elements <http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/mac-app-store-version-german.html>

I use a macbook pro. Several months ago I signed up for the Photoshop/lightroom offer and the payments are taken from my bank but I am unable to locate the product. I just get a message saying that my trial is expired. I am really desperate.

When I open my RAW files in Photoshop CC they are grainy and the JPEGS are not. What is going on? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with my CACHE levels either.
