Layers panel / Software error

I've made a half dozen projects or so using stock standard preset menus and have only just started modifying layers and importing my own menus from Photoshop.
I find I cannot enable the Layers Panel. I've searched Help and Googled, but cannot make any headway. What am I doing wrong?
Also, all of a sudden, when attempting to build a DVD from a successfully built DVD folder I get "Internal Software Error".
Can anyone help? Thanks.

modifying layers and importing my own menus from Photoshop.
The easiest workflow is to add a library menu to your project, select the menu, and "edit in photoshop." Save but do not change the name, and close it when you are ready to go back to Encore. Is that what you are doing?
I find I cannot enable the Layers Panel.
In Encore or Photoshop? Can you see it and not modify anything?

Acrobat Pro: Layers Panel messed up. How to resize?

Hi,
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro. My layers panel doesn't appear normally. As you can see, the visibility icon doesn't line up with the layer, and the boxes are expanded. I can't seem to resize them. I've uninstalled the software and reinstalled. It didn't fix anything. Any ideas?

I have Acrobat Pro 9.5.5, the last release of it. Moving the mouse over the right side of the window does let me reside the pane width, but that isn't what I want to do. I want to resize it vertically to look like the image below, how it's supposed to look.

ICloud Control Panel Runtime Error

Hello,
The Apple update service carried out an update yesterday to the latest versions of iTunes and iCloud Control Panel on my Windows 7 Toshiba notebook. Following the (requested ) reboot, all attempts to log into the iCloud Control Panel result in a Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime error, code R6034 with a message to contact the application's support team for more information.
If I OK all the error messages, (three times), it finally logs into the iCloud server.
I have uninstalled and re-installed the latest version of the Control Panel software, but the result is the same.
Short of going back to the previous version, are there any workrounds that I can try in order to resolve this.
Thanks

I have the same problem with windows 8.1. This is very annoying. The error pops up on every boot.

Layers panel always closed on startup

Good afternoon
I noticed my layers panel became closed everytime I start photoshop cs6. I tried to create new workspace with open panel but that's had no effect, panel is closed after the restart of Photoshop. Any help?

Just a small update. Workspace reset not solved the problem completely, everytime I open photoshop the layer panel shows wrong and that was very annoying. I noticed some problems with another software as well and I think the cause was the files permission issues in Windows 7. I changes the owner for Program Files folder and reset permissions for system and admin. It seems, now everything, Photoshop as well, works as it should.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Status = Safe Mode (Software Error)

Hi
I have a FP-2015 controller with 9 different I/O modules connected to it. A very large application (clouded VIs)was written by a previous colleague. When I run this application on a computer that is connected to the FP-2015 controller, everything seems to work fine. Then, I embedded the application in the controller and launch it at every start-up. The FP controller will run for some time (not fixed, can be an hour or 2 days) and then stops. When I look at the controller's status in MAX, it is at "Safe Mode (Software Error)". I think there's an coding error, but it's really tedious to go through all the code. I found out that MAX has a function called "View Log Error" and I have attached this file. Does it tell where the error occurs?
I read that file, and apparently it's something about VISA -serial. The FP-2015 serial port is interfaced with a weather station (simply downloading data from it).
Thanks

Hi TaanTao,
If a FP-20xx controller crashes twice in a row (without rebooting in between), it will boot up the next time in safe mode with the status LED flashing to indicate the error type. This will prevent the startup executable from restarting unless the power on the system is cycled. Do you notice the LED flashing? If so, how many times?
It would be a lot easier to identify and troubleshoot the error if you can find the error number. Is the controller constantly communicating with the weather station? Do you notice if the crash occurs after a particular event occurs? If your code is very complicated, it may be a good idea to add "checkpoints" into your code which would either write to a marker file or to the front panel so you can get a better idea of when and where the error is encountered. Also, try placing an Error Handler (Time and Dialog subpalette) into your code so the error will pop up in a dialog box and possibly be easier to identify.
The following KB describes a similar situation to what you're encountering. Does the error code seem familiar?
Why Do I Get the Error 32810 When I Run the FieldPoint VIs Embedded on the FP-20xx?
Thanks,

HP 6500A - Can't get into printer "control panel software" to check ink level, etc.

First let me apologize... I don't know what the correct name is for the software that starts up when you use the printer icon that was installed on my computer's desktop when I installed the printer. I am calling it the "control panel software" for want of a better name.
My printer was setup to work wirelessly on my wireless network and was working fine. The "control panel software" worked fine when I click on the icon on my desktop and I was able to check the ink levels, etc.
I just got a new router and so I had to reconfigure my printer to use my new wireless network settings. It wasn't working properly, so I decided to uninstall and reinstall the HP software for the printer. As part of this it put a new icon on my computer's desktop for accessing the printer "control panel software", another new icon for the scan function, and another for the ePrint Service.
The printer works fine... I can print and scan properly. It successfully connected to my new wireless network and I thought all was well. However, this is not the case.
What is weird is that the "control panel software" icon doesn't take me to the control panel functions any more. When I click on it it takes me back through the process of setting up the printer connection (wireless, wired, USB) again. If I go through that again it tells me everything is installed and lets me set the default printer again and then asks me to register again. So... I think I'm done, but then if I click on the icon again, it goes through this same process again.
Is there any way to stop this endless connection setup and just get to the "control panel software"?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

What operating system? I recommend not using the software CD as it may be out of date. Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer.

Internal Software error PGC for encore CS3 !!! solved !!!

Almost everybody here knows the next error:
PGC "timeline name" has an error at xx:xx:xx:xy internal software error : %0, line timeline name - PGCINFO: name= timeline name, ref=BPGC, time=xx:xx:xx:xy
Where the y in time stands for the length of the timeline minus 2 frames. The BPGC error can also be FPGC or DPGC dependant on how many menu's there are in the project.
It kept me awake for weeks and after reading this forum several times and comparing encore CS3 with encore 2.0 filenames I found the solution.
This Error is a bug in encore witch has nothing to do with blank filename spots and sonic coding or codecs or planning your workflow with a pencil but pure with the combination Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3.
This is what generates the problem:
In Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 you build project with video, sound and chapters. Then you export the project via the Media Encoder not Multplexed.
Premiere CS3 then creates the following files:
filename.M2V (video file mpg)
filename.AC3 (audio file ac3)
filename.M2V.XMPSES (an adobe file with preview info and chapter pointers)
filname.XMP (??)
It is the .M2V.XMPSES file witch creates the PGC error. If you use the MULTIPLEX DVD option then ADOBE will not create the .M2V.XMPSES file so there will not be an error. This trick mentioned by ADOBE and many others is just to go around the bug instead of solving it. Also with multiplex you have just one sound track. I use two sound tracks like 5.1 and a 2.0 track witch you can choose in a menu.
Some people say it is the blank spots. Also not true. They have probably just erased the blank spots of the M2V file and forgot the .M2V.XMPSES file.
When you just delete the .M2V.XMPSES file and then open the M2V and AC3 file in Encore as a new asset, make a timeline and menu's and the project will built and burn. Only if you delete this .M2V.XMPSES file Encore takes a longer time to import the M2V file and will be without the chapter points.
Almost everything else will work like menu with sound and even a movie background (use M2V files). Only the motion buttons in a menu still wont work unless you use a black background !?!. Haven't figured this out yet. Only solution for this is use Encore 2.0. In this older version also the motion buttons will work without error's (everything else also so why buy CS3??)
Here is what you must do create a DVD without errors:
-Create a project in Premiere Pro, even with chapters.
-Write down all chapter points (minutes:seconds:frames)
-Create two new unique maps in explorer for example D:DVD1 and D:DVD2
-Export in Premiere with Media Encoder without the Multiplex:DVD but with NON to the D:DVD1 map
-Copy from D:DVD1 only the M2V and AC3 files to D:DVD2
-Start up Encore DVD CS3 or 2.0
-Create a new unique project in Encore for example "DVD" and save this in the map D:DVD2\
-Then use Save-as (under file) and pinpoint to D:DVD2\dvd to be sure that all Encore's files are placed in this folder.
-Select M2V file and make new timeline.
-Make chapter points (you wrote down the points, did you?)
-Create menu's, even with sound (AC3) and movie background (M2V)
-Then render project if you have used a video for menu background
-Finally Built and burnnnnnn!!
-If you like to use motion buttons in a menu then use Encore 2.0
I have double checked my work flow and it really works. I have built a project and burned with success Then I deleted the timeline and the M2V file. Copied the .M2V.XMPSES file in the used folder. Re loaded the M2V file in encore (this time much faster! and with chapter points). Tried to built and burn and back was the error. Also this happened in in Encore 2.0!!
Hope that this will solve the PGC error once and for all !!!

> Where the y in time stands for the length of the timeline minus 2 frames.
This can actually vary, and so far at least, I don't think we've seen a pattern as to type of pgc error based on how many frames from the end it reports.
> The BPGC error can also be FPGC or DPGC dependant on how many menu's there are in the project.
Number of menus is not relevant; the iteration of the first letter is more related to subsequent occurrences of the error. In my current tests it did not always update; they may have been too similar.
> This is what generates the problem...
Well, the problem does not occur every time you do what you describe, any more than it occurs every time spaces are left in the file names. What you have is, as some other suggestions, a workaround. Thats not bad, and I wonder if you are onto something as to what is contributing to the problem.
So, on to the interesting part whether the xmpses file, or at least what Encore is doing with it, is contributing something. I took an old test project that throws the PGC error and did some experiments.
Background. I am a user who does get the pgc errors regularly, but not always. Creative Suite Production Premium, with PPro CS3 3.2.0 (374) and Encore 3.0.1.008. Pentium 4 2.8GHz 2G RAM, XP SP3, Multiple drives, Nvidia GEforce4 MX440 i.e. an older system. I have lots of stuff loaded and running, including virus protection and firewall, so there are any number of potential conflicts. But I get no crashes, and only one problem other than the pgc. (PPro and Encore monitor windows do this diagonal thing I suspect the display card, but the drivers are up to date. Maxing and then back to fit fixes it.)
If you want to attempt to replicate my studies, here is a link to my problem clip and the first Encore project I describe.
http://www.videoandcomputer.com/test/pgc_test.htm
This project involves a very short AVI export from PPro CS3 - just over 8 seconds - called pgcbad_clip1.avi. Just to answer any question, the source is dv camera capture, and the source and avi export I use are dv avi type 2. There were no effects added on the timeline.
Test 1: Create a project in Encore CS3. Use the sunset menu and delete all the buttons except "play all." Import the avi as a timeline. Set the timeline end action as "return to last menu" and set the button link to the timeline. Auto transcode. (Project settings are 8mbps max and a3c.) Check project shows okay; there is never a problem with that. Build to a DVD folder in a new folder. This project throws the pgc error.
Test 2: Now create a new Encore project in a new folder. Use the same process, except import as timeline the m2v and a3c files from the first run. (I.e. if the clip is pgcbad_clip1.avi, in the test1 project folders, there is a folder called pgcbad_clip1.avi that has 6 files.) Note that in the folder they are imported from is an xmpses file from the first project's encore transcode. The build again fails with the pgc error - same frame, etc, but I really think the frame number doesn't matter.
Test 3: Now create another new Encore project in a new folder. Use same process, but before importing the m2v and a3c as timeline, delete the xmpses file. Drumroll...... Build succeeds!
Go figure.
This is not the repeatable bug option weve been looking for, but based on a clip that always fails, it does demonstrate the odd event of deleting the xmpses file as a workaround. I wonder if that will give adobe something to work with.
Can anyone else get my clip to work/not work in a straight project?
Test 4: Just to answer the question since the avi file fails here, will the elemental option succeed? I exported elemental m2v and wav from PPro, used the same project process, and transcoded the wav. That build also works! I have seen this work both ways. I have had projects where the elemental failed, and an avi export worked. I do believe the elemental options work more consistently. But my project that I completed yesterday used all avi exports, animated buttons in the submenu, - no pgc error.

Hard Drive Short DST Check: Software Error

Hard Drive Short DST Check: Software Error appears while performing Hardrive Test in HP ENVY Sleekbook 6-1090ee. Please advice on how to resolve this error

Same issue here. Only I've tride a brand new hard drive and get the same results. Within seconds of power on, it shuts off hard. Sometimes the backlight comes on and it gets to the HP logo, then bam - out go the lights! I can go into the BIOS and stay there a long time. I run all the diags and make changes. Once, it actually stayed on and booted up. I downloaded the latest BIOS update, flashed it, and rebooted. It didn't help. Also, tried to boot to a bootable Windows 8 thumb drive. Same results, shuts down after 3 seconds. Tried many times to boot to external USB CD/DVD drive, never succeeded. The only error any diag reported was Hard Drive Optimized DST Check: Software Error. The fan spins at almost top speed but not immediately; it takes about two seconds after power on for it to start. I don't know, but that seems to be a clue. The only time I had a successful boot, the fan didn't engage at top speed, but a few notches slower.

I am unable to add a pattern via the layers panel

Help please! All of the sudden the "add/fill a pattern" via the layers panel on the right hand side is no longer available to me... that option is grayed out and won't let me select. I can still "fill" a pattern from the top menu's pull down menu, but that does not let me change scale, etc.
this is a vital tool to me, and I have no idea why it just stopped working.
Thanks!!!

Glad that your issue resolved itself. But, it sounds like your program is Photoshop Elements and not Premiere Elements. Some how your thread got posted in the Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
If the problem should reoccur, please post your thread in the Photoshop Elements Forum.

I tried to delete the layer attempt again. I am in a Photoshop class, but the work is all online, so all my teacher is going to do is send me to this site. I am trying to edit a photo for this class, and without this working, i go to filter>render>light effects. the bar and panel will pop up for about 2 seconds, then disappear. How do i get the options bar and properties panel to display?

I was about to suggest resetting LE from the Workspace drop-down top right corner, but if you can't see the Options Bar, I guess that is not going to happen. The normal Tool reset is grey out for LE, so it might be a case of resetting Preferences.

Photoshop cs4 - changes seen only in small layers panel window

Hello. I am operating from a mac, using Photoshop, CS4. When I make any kind of change or alteration to my image, the change shows up only in the layers panel small display window, not on the actual image. I have the correct layer selected etc.

Is the layer you are editing the topmost in your layers panel? Is it getting obscurred by a layer above it — perhaps even a blank white layer?
