Just installed but nothing shows up after drag / drop, open file, and bridge

I've been using CS3 for many years and my work finally got me CS5. After installing and registering my new product I did the usual "drag and drop" with a JPEG image to start a project and this is what shows up:
As you can see, the loaded image on my layers window as a "background" and on the top tabs, you can see two files that I've attempted to open however when I try to magnify, zoom, etc. nothing shows up in the work area. I even attempted Bridge and File --> Open and I have seen the same results which is nothing showing up on my work space. I even opened a new document and when I open it, the same grey background appears and the new project / file acts like it was never there!
Is there something that I don't know about CS5 in regards to opening new files? Thank you in advance. 

Usually, when disabling OpenGL Drawing corrects a screen update issue, that means that your video card is probably capable, but the driver is out of date and faulty.
Try going to the web site of the maker of your graphics card and downloading/installing their latest driver for your hardware and OS.  Then try re-enabling OpenGL Drawing.  You might well find it all works great, and you'll gain access to the OpenGL-specific features:

  • Records typing but nothing shows up after recording

    I hope someone can help me. For whatever reason, whenever I
    record let's say a document like MS WORD (or anything for that
    matter) in which I'm recording how to input data, when recording is
    completed, I can't watch the actual typing. The typing is revealed
    at the end of the project. I want to be able to see the document
    being filled out as my clients need this.
    Now here's where things get interesting. I go to my temp
    files and lo and behold, there are the temp flash files and when I
    click on them I can watch the words as they are being typed. Why
    doesn't Captivate use these files and create the story line? My
    temp files continues to grow at an alarming rate and I have to
    delete these files before they consume my hard drive space.
    Anyway, this baffles me and I am quite frustrated. What is
    wrong? I have no idea. I have moved the Adobe Captivate program to
    my external hard drive thinking that that would help but nothing. I
    moved the temp files to the external hard drive and still nothing.
    I'm using Windows XP Pro with SP2 installed.
    Can anyone offer any suggestions on this as I have
    major projects for clients looming and this is not going to
    work.

    person in a different forum category. Please direct any replies to

  • Can't drag/drop MP4 files in iTunes 10 - Movies

    Recently I have installed the new iTunes 10. Now I am not able to drag and drop MP4 files to load videos in my iPod and iPhone. Earlier I used to drag & drop MP4 files and load my iPod. But with this new version in Windows 7 OS, I am not able to load videos. Became very frustrated. Can you please help me?
    Thanks in advance!

    I have the same problem! Is there anyone out there with an answer! I'm so extremely frustrated with this issue. I did everything that others have suggested on this community and others online. I used a converter (which doesn't even make any sense because I used to be able to drag/drop mp4 with ease without converting them before this stupid iOS5 and Itunes update). I renamed the file to m4v. There's tons of stuff I tried and still nothing. What frustrates me is that everyone is suggesting to convert and as I said I never used to do that with MP4's before. Why all of a sudden now?

    I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
    Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

  • I updated to 4 everything I typed was backwards I deleted 4 tried to install the earlier version it downloads but nothing shows up to extract the file

    I'm having the same issue.  Lion is up to date with v10.7.2.  Currently running iTunes 10.4.  Tried installing the regular way...un-installing, re-installing...re-downloading from internet...dragging the install into iTunes icon on dock...I'm perplexed.  Every time I plug in iPhone or iPad, it tells me there's an update available - when I click to update, it's the same thing - then the software update utility keeps stating that all software is up to date.  Sigh...I feel as though I'm chasing my tail.
    Hopefully, there are answers out there!  iOS 5 is so cool!!!

  • I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I just purchased a new mac mini and would like to use my old dell monitor. I tried a HD to VGA adapter converter,it plugs in, but nothing shows on the monitor. Any suggestions?

    What do you mean by "HD to VGA adapter converter"?
    Do you mean have an HDMI to VGA adapter connected the the Mini's HDMI port?
    Or maybe you plugged n the the included HDMI to DVI adapter and then connected a DVI to DVI adapter?
    In either case that will not work since VGA is analog and the Mini's HDMI port is digital only.
    You need to purchase a mini displayport to VGA adapter. It plugs into the Mini's Thunderbolt port.

    Make sure you get a name--brand one. I purchased some el cheapo, no-name ones and they did not work

  • It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.

    # Question
    It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.
    Also in the '''Properties''' window of Windows Explorer I '''no longer have the Details tab''', so I can't update my mp3 files with Artist, Album, Genre, etc. But the details tab does show up when I access it thru Windows Explorer.
    I ran the AVG rescue disc an no viruses found. Now on '''FF3.6.15''' '''RealPlayer''' shows when I right click but then '''immediately disappears and an icon appears in the System Tray''', but as soon '''as I hover my mouse over it it disappears'''.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
    How can I get this fixed? I have time-sensitive mp3s that I won't have access to anymore if I don't get this resolved in a hurry. (no pressure on you, I'm the one that's stressed about this) Can you help? Thanks so much for responding to this '''inquiry.''''''bold text'''

  • Bookmarks not showing in menu dropdown but still are in url line. When doing the restore feature, it says 807 items but nothing shows up still after.

    Earlier today my bookmarks were there. Later tonight, not there.
    I've tried the whole restore bookmarks process, I've copied the folder and deleted the places file thing. None of that has worked.
    What's weird is if I type something in in the URL box that I know is in my bookmarks, it will show up like it's in the history. But nothing shows up in my bookmarks folder at all.
    I need some help on this as I've tried almost every way I've read and nothing has brought them up. And like I said in the title, I have over 800 bookmarks and a lot of them are work related.

    Another user had a similar problem a couple of days ago, but was fortunate to have a backup of places.sqlite to restore. See: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981306 Invisible bookmarks].
    When you deleted places.sqlite file and Firefox regenerated your database, it presumably used the most recent backup. I wonder whether the most recent backup contains the same mysterious corruption. Do you want to try recovering from the next older one?
    In your profile folder, after exiting Firefox, open the bookmarkbackups folder and move the most recent JSON backup file(s), anything from today, to a safe location (e.g., your Documents folder). Then go back up a level and rename places.sqlite to something like places.wtf.
    ''Note: if Windows does not display these file extensions, turn on viewing of file extensions to ensure that you can work with similarly named files accurately. This article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].''
    When you start Firefox, it should rebuild the places database again, this time with that older backup. Any difference?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Flash Player shows installed but nothing in application file

    After several attempts at downloading the latest version of Flash Player, the program is listed as installed, but nothing is in the application file.  Is this a problem for anyone else?

    Yes, when I was ask to update my flash player everything went smooth until I tried to use it. Now I have nothing. I can't see any videos or play any games. I have tried everything suggested in the past 3 days to no avail. I am so furious with adobe right now, if I could I would strangle it. I don't know what else to do except take my computer in & have it fixed by someone. I will not give adobe the $40.00 they want to help me online. They should be offering everyone free help with this mess they created with their new flash player or should I say non-player.

  • Shared Library shows, but nothing comes up after Loading "name Library"

    Have set up Home Sharing on my WIN 7 computers.  I can go to my wife's computer, see my Library and all of the various type of Media.  All good.  When at my computer, I see her Library, but nothing comes up after the Loading wife's Library is display.  It did work when I first set it up several months ago.

    This morning, in now works.  I have done nothing and neither computer were even turned off.  there is obviously some instability in this feature.  I guess you can't rely on it and you take your chances each time you use as to whether it will work.
    It would be nice if somebody (or, in my wildest dreams, Apple) knew of something that could be changed in a setting or anything that would allow this feature to work consistently.

  • Dialogue box says Safari installed, but nothing there

    I cannot install Safari, Quicktime or iTunes on a dell laptop with Vista SP2. The installer says that the programs are installed but there is nothing on the desktop, in the program files, and no search turns anything up. Not sure what is going on. I don't get any error messages, it's just that nothing shows up. Help please.

    Okay ... the Apple Application Support stage of things might be a factor on the iTunes install here too. Since we're doing installs on a mostly clean machine, I'm suspecting interference from your security software, and we'll try attending to that possibility first.
    Probably best to print off a copy of these instructions first, because at one stage of proceedings you won't be able to have a web browser running.
    First download and save fresh versions of Safari and iTunes installers to your hard drive. (Don't run the installs on line, and don't start the installs just yet.)
    Restart the PC. *Do not open any applications after the restart.* Now disconnect from your network and/or the internet.
    Now disable all your security software (firewall, antivirus and antispyware).
    Now try a Safari install by doubleclicking on the SafariSetup.exe you downloaded earlier.
    If that seems to go through okay, try an iTunes install by doubleclicicking on the iTunesSetup.exe you downloaded earlier.
    After the install attempts, reenable your security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or internet.
    Any better luck with those install attempts, Carl? (If you ended up with error messages or install failures again, let us know what they said, or describe to us what seemed to be happening this time around.)
