MS "Color Dialogue Box" popping up instead of "Adobe Color Picker" inside PSE 10.

For purposes of this question, I'm providing definitions of the terms herein used.
--Toolbox: The 2 columns of Tools on the left side of the Editor screen.
--Foreground Color & Background Color: The color filled squares at the bottom of the Toolbox.
--Color dialogue box: This is the pop-up that is labeled at the top with "Color". It shows 48 different color squares (6 rows by 8 columns); they are labeled "Basic colors:". Right below the "Basic colors:" array is another 16 empty squares (2 rows by 8 columns) to be filled with colors to be defined. There is a "Define Custom Colors>>" button when clicked opens up a color picker with HSB RGB stacked below the color field screen. See this link to the Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box", http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms646375(v=vs.85).aspx
--Adobe Color Picker: The interactive dialogue box with the color field screen to the left and the HSB RGB numbers stacked on the right side. See this link

The problem:
In PSE 10, when using the Eyedropper Tool or clicking on the Foreground Color or the Background Color, the Microsoft Microsoft "Color Dialogue Box" pops up instead of the "Adobe Color Picker" dialogue box. This started about a month ago. I use Windows 7.
Please help. I want the "Adobe Color Picker" to pop up (like it used to) inside PSE 10. How do I correct this problem?
Thank you.

Edit>preferences>general and choose the Adobe Color picker from the menu there:

  • A dialogue box pops up when I attempt to reset Ipad

    I lost the pass-code for my Ipad Air and whenever I try to reset the Ipad to factory settings, a dialogue box pops up.What do I do?

    It's called AutoRun (or AutoPlay). It only happens on Windows 7 computers. Just close the box and return to iTunes. It won't affect anything.

  • Strange dialogue box popping up

    After about 6 months of use, phone suddenly began repeatedly popping this message: This accessory is not made to work with iPhone. Would you like to turn on Airplane Mode to reduce audio interference? You will not be able to make or receive calls.
    Just updated to iOS4, now the message reads: This accessory is not optimized for this iPhone. You may experience noise caused by cellular interference and a decrease in cellular signal strength.
    The only "accessory" I've ever had was the protective shell added at time of purchase. Have not downloaded anything recently except for updating software today. What's going on?

    Check the iPhone's dock connector port closely for any dirt or foreign material, and it doesn't take much.
    This can also happen when an iPhone has gotten wet at the dock connector port.

  • I have tried downloading Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 3 times now. It downloads fine. Then after I try to open it and it loads the screen but then a box pops up and says "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and then makes me close the program.

    I need help please. Exactly what my title says. It makes me close the program whenever I join/try to get on Photoshop CC 2014 and says it has "stopped working."

  • Pop up dialogue boxes

    How can I stop navigator and properties dialogue boxes popping up when I use Photoshop shape tools?

    Which version of photoshop are you using?
    In the most recent version cc 2014.2.2, you can uncheck Show on Shape Creation from the Properties panel fly-out menu.
    You need to first draw out a Live Shape (i.e. Rectangle Tool) before you can see that option.

  • Eclipse blank grey dialogue box on startup, fixed with rm of workspace

    Hello,
    I wanted to get coding today, but.... eclipse isn't starting up like it usually does. The splash screen pops up, it asks where I want my workspace folder, and then a small grey dialogue box pops up. It will never exit on it's own, pressing close does nothing, I have to kill it.
    I tried running eclipse in a terminal in the hope it complained about a library error or something, but it's silent, it doesn't say anything back to me when run in a terminal. I'm not sure what other info to give you. It was working yesterday, and today it's not opening. I just shut down my computer after that day and started it up the next and it didn't work. So I removed the .eclipse folder in the hope that would clear some temporary data that was causing it, nothing.
    I eventually moved my workspace and let it start fresh, it worked. Unfortunately, I need those files. Can I import the folder to fix this issue? How can I?

    I'm experiencing the same problem. Additionally the whole update configuration seems to be damaged. There are no update sites listed anymore (I had quite many).
    Furthermore I'm having some other problems (Eclipse icon seems to be missing, Saros plug-in and Gnome Battery Applet doesn't work anymore, no wallpaper on desktop) which all appeard after my update yesterday. Eclipse was updated too.
    The following error messages are displayed when I start eclipse via terminal:
    (Eclipse:8741): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
    (Eclipse:8741): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_height: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed
    (Eclipse:8741): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_window_resize: assertion `width > 0' failed
    gdk-pixbuf2 was updated too.
    In the update log I found this message regarding gdk-pixbuf2:
    [2011-06-30 22:58] g_module_open() failed for /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-gif.so)
    (more error messages follow which name the other libpixbufloader-*.so libraries.)
    I can't open images anymore because the programs can not recognize the image format.
    Therefore this seems to be a problem with gdk-pixbuf2. At least for me. Don't know how to fix this. Will try to downgrade gdk-pixbuf2. Will post results.
    EDIT: Yup, that did the trick. At least for all the image related stuff. Eclipse starts fine now, I can see the wallpaper and the battery applet is working now.
    Eclipse plug-ins are still messed-up but that's worth a separate topic.
    EDIT2: I still can't figure out how that gdk-pixbuf stuff could make eclipse "forget" about the workspace.
    Do you know what version last worked? How should I downgrade?

  • How do I get to the bottom of a dialogue box that isn't visible? Critical Mail problem!

    I tried sending an email to a long list of recipients in a group. For some reason, I got a werid dialogue box about how it my SMTP server didn't recognize some addresses (though they all seem fine). No big deal, normally I would just edit the message and fix/delete the offending email addresses. However, the bottom of the warning dialogue is off screen and I can't scroll down. All I can do is hit "enter" and try to resend. But then I get a repeat.
    The message in question is not seen in either my Outgoing, Sent, or Drafts folders. At least not when the dialogue box is open. So I can't just kill the message.
    I also can't quit Mail while this message is up. I can go to the Finder and force quit. But then if I restart Mail the dialogue box pops right back up and I'm stuck where I was before.
    Basically, I just need to know how to get to the bottom of the warning dialogue box so that I can click on the "edit message" button.
    Help?!
    Oh, I'm running the most updated version of OS X Lion.

    I did that twice. Once, about an hour ago. And nothing changed. I did it again about twenty minutes ago, and still nothing. A few minutes ago I tried yet another force quit. And .... that seemed to do the trick. The offending email message is gone.
    So my problem seems to be solved.
    But the larger issue remains of a major bug in Mac OS, it seems. If a dialogue box is larger than the screen size, how is someone ever going to be able to deal with closing it or anything else? It would make sense to automatically allow the cursor to scroll down to the very bottom of any dialogue box, regardless of its size. After all, that's how windows work, right?
    Crazy!

  • When password security-setting dialogue box is opened, the bottom can't be seen or moved

    Using Acrobat XI Pro on my Dell PC, I was trying to add password protection to the document.  When I click on the "encrypt with password" button, the password security-setting dialogue box pops up, and I can enter the password.  However, the bottom of the page is not visible and I can't move it to click the "ok" button.  Any suggestions?

    Which Acrobat XI Pro are you using? I think you experience the same problem that was reported on this forum in the past. I believe this problem was fixed in one of the recent versions (11.0.07??). Upgrade to the latest version and the problem should go away.
