My stylus has stopped working in CS6?

I've been using Photoshop for several months now within Windows 7, and it worked perfectly. I upgraded to Windows 8, and all of a sudden, the stylus to my tablet PC stopped working in Photoshop. If I go to draw a line with the brush, it affects just one pixel, then locks the cursor as the crosshairs (or whatever cursor goes with the tool I was using). When I move the mouse, a line suddenly forms from the point I clicked to the last place my stylus was, regardless if it was off the canvas or not.
I use a Lenovo ThinkPad x230 tablet. The stylus works just fine everywhere but within Photoshop. I'm assuming the issue comes from upgrading to Win 8, but I've found nothing in Microsoft or Lenovo support pertaining to this issue. I have made sure to keep the latest in all updates, from both Windows Update and Lenovo Solution Centre. If anyone else is experiencing this issue and has found a solution, I would greatly appreciate your sharing it with me.

I've found a solution! Wacom recently released a Windows 8 driver designed to allow Tablet PCs to use advanced software (such as Photoshop). I hadn't checked the website, since there were no drivers the last time I looked. Thanks to silkrooster for mentioning Surface, because it led me to the forum that suggested that.
The driver can be found here. It does make the cursor look different in Photoshop (a regular pointer rather than the small dot), but otherwise seems to function almost normally.

  • Liquify tool has stopped working in CS6 Extended after Windows 8.1 upgrade

    My liquify tool in CS^ Extended has stopped working after upgrading my operating system to Windows 8.1. It was fin in Windows 8.0. Suggestions on how to fix this please.

    This is not a proper solution (as it would cost you the GPU dependent features like Rotate View Tool etc.) but it does indicate that you may have to update your GPU driver from the GPU maker’s site.

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working - has issue been resolved?

    Hello.
    I am experiencing the above problem with a new install of CS6.
    Has this issue been resolved?
    CS6 Design and Web Premium installed on Win 7 pro 64 bit Dell Precision laptop. Error with Adobe Bridge cs6: "Adobe Bridge CS6 has stopped working", problem event name "APPCRASH". Error occurs when opening Bridge from Photoshop and other apps (Browse in Bridge) and directly from desktop or start menu. Also a cache directory is not being created under c:\user\<user>\appdata\roaming\adobe\bridge\. Holding ctrl key down and double clicking icon gets same message, cannot get at reset window.
    Performed the following with no change: verified Bridge and full suite is on latest version (Bridge=5.0.2.4); created desktop icon directly from bridge.exe; verified application was installed and is starting with administrator privileges; verified latest display driver installed; performed complete uninstall of CS6, CC cleaner tool run, then full reinstall; Error under Event Viewer: faulting application: Bridge.exe and faulting module name: ntdll.dll; disabled UAC; tested memory for damage using MemTest86-good.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A follow up to the above.
    There appears to be a number of possible causes for this type of error. In my case it was somewhat specific. I had a stand alone copy on this same machine previously of Adobe Photoshop CS2 (only) which was completely uninstalled prior to the installation of CS6. There is an issue with Bridge CS6 being installed on a machine that has Bridge CS2 on it. I wasn't aware of Bridge being present with my copy of Photoshop CS2 but apparently there were at least some components of Bridge CS2 left after the uninstall. The workaround that solved the issue for me was the creation of an empty folder:
    C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Bridge CS2
    For those of you who may have this situation.
    Here is where I found the solution (sixth thread down):

  • InDesign CS6 "has stopped working" on Windows 7.

    Adobe Community,
    I just bought a new computer and am in the process of downloading my standard set of programs. I'm testing everything out and InDesign fails to stay open past the new project window. The error just reads the it has stopped working and then windows closes it. I got it to work once or twice as an administrator by right clicking on the launch icon and running it as such. But this doesn't always work. I ran into a similar issue with photoshop and resolved it by changing the cache location under the preferences menu. InDesign doesn't have this setting though so I'm out of luck. Anybody come across the same issue? Windows doesn't give me any more specific error information. I'm not sure what to do at the moment.
    Help?

    So this is what the event viewer is showing me. Any thoughts? I looked into some other solutions from the suggested thread but had no success.

  • Error on startup "dynamiclink manager has stopped working" CS6

    So I bought the CS6 master collection, but keep on getting an error on startup of my programs. When I open After effects, Photoshop, Premier Pro, Audition, etc... I get the error "Dynamiclinkmanager has stopped working". The message appears on start up of the program, and the only way to get in is to keep on pressing "close the program" for few min until it loads. It is very annoying and takes forever to open a program. I've already tried uninstalling and re-installing, and that hasn't worked. Here are a few screenshots of the error:
    And here is what it says when you select "view problem details" :

    Had the same problem with conflict between CS6 (Photoshop, Premier, After Effects, etc.] and Net Nanny.  Solution was as follows:
    1. Log onto Net Nanny Admin Tools
    2. Click on Application Exceptions
    3. Click Add
    4. Browse to folder containing "dynamiclinkmanager.exe".  On my computer (Windows 7 Pro) it was located in
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclink\CS6
         [I do have dynamiclinkmanager.exe elsewhere, but Net Nanny only allows you to identify a given file name once]
    5.  Select dynamiclinkmanger.exe, Open, OK
    6.  Repeat steps 3 to 5 but this time for "dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe" which I found in
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0
    7. Click OK to accept application exceptions
    8.  Exit Net Nanny Admin Tools
    7.  On my computer Photoshop would now load without incident, but if necessary reboot.
    NOTE:  Once I solved the dynamiclinkmanager stopped problem I then encountered an Adobe Media Core stopped problem when I started After Effects and Premier.  To resolve this second problem with Net Nanny I repeated the above steps adding the following application exception:
         "Adobe QT32 Server.exe"
         which I found in
         C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\dynamiclinkmediaserver\1.0
    [Again there are multiple copies of "Adobe QT32 Server.exe" but Net Nanny accepts only one, and I selected the one in "Program Files (x86)" and not the ones in "Program Files" because of this is where I also found dynamiclinkmanager.exe.  All works fine now.]
    Hope this works for you.

  • "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" but was working fine a week ago...

    On my desktop (Dell XPS 8300), I keep getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" when openng up a previously created project or trying to create a new one in Premiere Pro CS6.
    On my laptop (MS Surface Pro 2), I can load projects and edit them, but I cannot export media.  When I try, it just sits there and does nothing.  I've also tried sending it to Media Encoder, but that doesn't help either.  Sometimes, it crashes too.
    I'm running Windows 8.1 on both with the latest updates installed.
    Oddly, this started roughly around the same time on both computers.
    I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, but that didn't help.
    I've run the Windows troubleshooter and that didn't help either.
    I've tried running as an administrator, and running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7 and Vista - that doesn't solve the issue either.
    At this point, I can't do any work and am even considering paying for CC even though I just dropped $700 on CS6 last year, but I'm wondering if that would even solve the issue, or if the CC version would also not work...

    >started roughly around the same time on both computers

  • How to stop "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working" error in Win8?

    On my new Dell XPS 8500 Win 8 computer Photoshop CS6 keeps stopping working.  I've tried both 64-bit and 32-bit versions and updated the video driver after phoning Dell. Also installed latest Adobe program updates. I keep getting the error message "Adobe Photoshop CS6 has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  Any solutions?  I'm losing a terrible amount of time!

    Hi there - thanks for the quick reply....
    Yes, I do have a discrete video card with my main monitor plugged into that.  I enabled multiscreen in the BIOS so I could plug in my second screen into the internal VGA port (both older monitors from my previous pc). I was previously getting an error when I opened Photoshop which said "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware.  Check out the manufacturer's website for the latest software... etc..." which is why I contacted Dell to update the driver.  They have a list of drivers for my system and suggested I try the first 3 in order.  The first 2 wouldn't install but the third did and although the display driver error has disappeared now, Photoshop keeps crashing.
    My version of Photoshop is CS6 13.0.1 x64
