I'm doing a vector, however the pen and Elipse tools don't work as they should.

As I said, I'm working on a vector, but now whenever I use the pen or elipse tool, the shape doesn't fill in, even at 100% opacity. Changing to other tools I get a message that always ends with "Because the pixels in a group cannot be edited without merging the group."
I'm left scratching my head, I only started using photoshop a few days ago and would prefer not to merge the groups together.
I'm using CS2 if that helps at all.
Any help would be appreciated.

Making fools of us is just a Photoshop side effect I don't believe Adobe programmers do it purposely they just can't seem to get thing right so the keep changing and breaking Photoshop. Photoshop culture take some time to become accustom too.

  • Recently Firefox is no longer recognizing Macro Express macros, and the up and down arrows no longer work as they should.

    The Macro Express works in all other browsers (and programs), but no longer works in Firefox.
    The up arrow and down arrow works in all other browsers, but in Firefox, instead of moving down (or up) a line at a time, the page moves way, way down (or up). The Page Up and Page Down buttons work only part of the time... if a down arrow (or up arrow) was used, the Page arrows move the page but not one page up or down...many pages up or down.
    If I need to change back to an earlier version of Firefox, I will do this. Please tell me how to make things work the way they should work.

  • Essentials of the Pen and Pencil Tools | Learn Illustrator CS6 | Adobe TV

    The Pen and Pencil tools are very useful but require a little practice to get comfortable with. In this video you'll get a chance to play around with these tools, using the Pen tool to create clouds and the Pencil tool to create hills.

    In the beginning it says, "using my smart guides" and yet I don't see any smart guides. Nor does doing what I think is the exact same thing being told here produce results that are equal. When I click on a point, let go of the mouse and click on a 2nd point and then continue the process I start getting mirror triangles and then as I progress things start getting really weird. Obviously a few details were left out. No, I would have to say not a good place to be if you are truly a beginner as I am--too many steps left out, too many assumptions (like thinking I am aware of all the terminology) etc. Time to look elsewhere to learn. I thank Adobe nevertheless.

  • Hooked up my PS/2 keyboard and now the up and down volumns don't work

    hooked up my PS/2 keyboard (it has been in storage awhile)  and now the up and down volumns don't work

    I did this myself recently while playing around with the settings - go to System Preferences and in there somewhere will be a setting saying - " use all function keys as standard function keys" or something like that. You need to deslect or say "no" and then it will work as it used to!

  • After upgrading from 4.01 to 5.0 the Flashplayer and Java environment don't work.

    Made an update yesterday morning 21/6 from 4.01 to 5.0. It worked except that LastPass gives an error message at login, but it still works. Later 21/6 I downloaded an update from Mozilla. After that no Flashplayer plugins like in YouTube work. Neither does Java like in http://hem.ektv.nu/~ekt000851/mane.html, that I use as a test site.
    However my most precious plug in Nexus Personal works in both versions. I cant figure out what is the difference.
    I run Firefox on Linux Mint LMDE 64 bit in the /home/directory/

  • On 3 machines now the Windows Store is broken. The Install and Back buttons don't work

    Originally reported here:  http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_store/on-3-machines-now-the-windows-store-is-broken-the/8bafdc7a-a708-4012-a4f1-b98ab8788c28
    Advised to post here instead.
    Hi there
    On three separate Windows 8.1 Professional machines now, I've had an issue where the Store stops working properly for no apparent reason (no error messages or anything).  The store opens, and I can browse apps, and view individual apps, but
    once in the app view I cannot click on the Install button or the back buttons.
    They "light up" as if being pressed, but they don't actually do anything.
    I've tried all the various troubleshooting, including the Windows App troubleshooter, wsreset, re-registering the store files using powershell, and renaming the cache folder in my user profile. No effect.
    If I sign into the PCs as another user, then I don't get the issue. As such something is getting corrupted in the profile.
    We only have around 9 or 10 Windows 8.1 PCs deployed at our organisation for testing, and three of them have had this fault, which doesn't inspire confidence. As such, we cannot progress with further deployment until we have a fix in place that
    doesn't involve wiping the user profile.
    Any ideas please?

    Hi FangZhou CHEN
    I've discovered the cause of this error after much searching.
    Based on your suggestion, I checked the Event Viewer and found a string of "Application Error" entries similar to this:
    Faulting application name: WSHost.exe, version: 6.3.9600.17093, time stamp: 0x534765e9
    Faulting module name: sxwmon64.dll, version: 4.5.2608.0, time stamp: 0x52b2a853
    Exception code: 0xc0000005
    Fault offset: 0x00000000000257ff
    Faulting process id: 0xf40
    Faulting application start time: 0x01cfeeb1cc6d035e
    Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\WinStore\WSHost.exe
    Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\sxwmon64.dll
    Report Id: 19ee9a1c-5aa5-11e4-8259-600292638f85
    Faulting package full name:
    Faulting package-relative application ID:
    Presumably the WSHost,exe process is critical to the Store and "Metro" apps?
    The offending dll file causing this process to fail, sxwmon64.dll belongs to a peice of security software on our machines called Lumension Endpoint Security (we're running version 4.5 SR2). We use this to control removable media (USB) and CDRW access for
    our employees.
    If I rename that particular DLL file, the store and the calendar app which I was also having issues with (it was blank), spring back into life.

  • With the Lion, the copy and paste commands don't work.  So if you choose a photo and right click Copy, this photo can't be pasted in another event.  This used to work with Snow Leopard.

    The copy and paste functions in iPhoto used to work in Snow Leopard, but not with the Lion.  How do I copy and paste photos from one event to another?  What I don't understand is that it used to work with Snow Leopard, and now that the OS has been upgraded to Lion, it doesn't? 

    Instead of copy and paste drag the photo to the new event. Or flag it and use the add flagged photos to selected event command

    Thanks for the reply, BUT --- i can't fool myself. I can make all the other accounts i want, but i'll still be able to get into the admin account and therefore have access to the websites i don't want to have access to. Is there a way to block websites from ALL accounts?

  • When I start it up it shows two two nested windows on the screen, has a Firefox yellow tab in the corner, does not display the toolbar bookmarks, the back and forth buttons do not work and there is no page refresh. No clue what is going on.

    Every time I open up Firefox it appears to open two nested and linked windows, each with their own minimize, maximize and close buttons but the both work the same. The homepage does not come up, the back and forth buttons do not work. Both the refresh button and F5 do not work. The Bookmark Toolbar does not show up until I disable it in View and then re-enable it and this causes the outer nested window to disappear or close.

    This issue can be caused by an extension or theme that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • My earphones mic and volume buttons don't work ever since the iOS 8.1 update! Please help me. One discussion person says they bought a new pair and THEY don't work either. What do I do? I'm about to have a breakdown!

    I rely heavily on my earphones because well... I'm lazy but they don't work. They work on my friend's iPhone who hasn't updated yet but I've updayed and the mic and volume buttons don't work. Please make a correct update!

    Nope, still same problem. I did an install, didn't work. Then I completely removed my IDT driver, restarted, installed the driver, restarted, same problem.
    When I troubleshoot my audio it always asks me which one to troubleshoot. It only works if I do one of the "Speakers / HP - IDT" but I don't know why it has so many devices listed with the same name.
    Also, after I troubleshoot and I can hear audio, if I go to "Manage audio devices" it still shows that no audio device is installed, which is why the webinars won't work.
