Photoshop 5.5 extended 64bit on windows 8.1 using Dell 4k monitor p2715q and a shrunken menu bar

Excitement was short lived after activating the 4K monitor and found that the display in Photoshop 5.5 suddenly shrunk. The text on the menu bar is just like a 5 point text and negotiating through the menu was a painful process. How do I increase the menu bar size to be larger.
One site suggested I change the UI in the preference to 200... but there is no selection of this to be seen in the preference drop down menu. And now PS 5.5 hangs every time I get into the preference area. Should I uninstall the software completely and reinstall it.
Hope someone can shed some light into this. TQ

Folks....
I have found the way to get around this and the answer lies in the display adjustment for text and the icons... under the control panel.
This adjustment is global and encompass all software not only photoshop. Hence I hope Microsoft will look into this for 4K monitor users especially those with dual monitors with different K's eg: 4K and a 1920 panel.

Is it possible to install Windows 7 without using BCA to install drivers and using the support 5 software for drivers on my iMac 2014?

What I am wondering is if I can install Windows 7 on my iMac 2014 without using BCA to install drivers and using the manual download Support software without bricking my system. The issue is that I recently moved into the country without a reliable data connection, so I'd like to download all the drivers from when I'm in town generally. Any info is appreciated.

Hello,
I'm trying to purchase inexpensive computers for my classroom. One of the computers I'm looking at is the new $200 HP Stream 11. My school's IT department said it might be difficult to install the district's copy of Windows 7 on these computers if I purchase them. Does anyone know if it's actually possible to uninstall Windows 8.1 and install Windows 7 using an external USB or external CD Rom Drive? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The District is right to say what they told you they can't install Disctrict Windows 7 on your computer because they have a license agreements with MS and doing so will violate their Terms of Agreement. And you shouldn't be asking something like that to start with. If that laptop can't install Windows 7 it then your stuck with WIndows 8 unless HP has downgrade to go back to Windows 7 on it otherwise if none exist you will not get any drivers or support for it. You best luck is to find a used Windows 7 laptop and order the HP recovery media for it and wipe it clean to factory install and register it to you and that will give you a Windows 7 maching to start with.

Can not install windows 7 pro using boot camp as mouse and keyboard will not work Help please

I have a new iMac and trying to install Windows 7 Pro using boot camp. I have reached the stage of starting to load windows from the DVD then discovered the mouse and the keyboards not working so I could not interact with windows installation.

Open, if not so already, the Windows formatter. Identify the BC Windows partition. It will be the one listed with the proper size you created and/or will be labeled as a C: drive. Be careful you select the right one or you may be corrupting the entire drive.
Format the partition as NTFS.

.jpg saved in Photoshop can't be open in windows other than using windows photoshop

Hey guys
i have this interesting problem.
The files i saved as JPG in Photoshop (CS3 for Mac) can't be open by a windows PC's normal application for viewing JPG. it can only be opened by Photoshop in Windows.
Another peculiar thing. I compared a jpg file i received from a friend and a jpg file i created from my photoshop in my mac..
By default, preview (mac) opens the jpg file from my friend. BUT by default, photoshop opens the jpg file i created.
Could it be a saving preference issue?
Thank you!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello guys I am having the same problem. J you mentioned "Check the Windows compatible attachment check box in your Entourage settings." Can you tell me where that check box is located.
Thanks Tom

Windows updates gave me version of Firefox that does not allow me to have Text and Icon in Menu Bar, lost my autofill; how do I get old version back?

Windows updates this morning gave me a different firefox: the Customize box includes fewer choices. No Text and Icon, which I want. Also, this new version dropped my Autofill.

It wasn't Windows update that caused this, but Firefox automatic updates. It's the new Firefox 29 Australis, their attempt to look more like Chrome. They dramatically changed the UI, removing several features in the process. If the way it looks bothers you as much as it does others you can install Firefox 28 again by going here;
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/win32/en-US/
That of course does come with the risk of security exploits they fixed with 29, so beware of that. I also don't know if it will repair your auto fill or anything.
Otherwise if you don't mind the new look, keep using it.

FF 5 no longer opens pdf in browser window & only fix on offer, Dafizilla ViewSourceWith, won't instal and greys out Menu bar.

''locking this thread - discussion is here - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/857882''
I thought I had the Foxit Reader Plug-In reinstalled since I installed FF5, but I've reinstalled it again anyway and reset it to open in Firefox under Tools Options. Once I was happy with the latest Foxit Reader I really didn't want to even try the dead-buried-and-decomposed Adobe Acrobat again. I've disabled that now as it wasn't opening pdfs in Firefox either when I had it selected under Tools Options.

These are the steps I performed on my own system many months ago. I could not view PDF files in Firefox with both Adobe Reader and Foxit installed.
#Close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#If you have not already done so, uninstall Adobe Reader 9.4.5 using Windows Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click on the item, click Remove. You may need to restart your system.
#Open Foxit in your programs list Windows Start > Programs
#*on the Foxit menu, click Tools > Preferences
#*click File Associations and be sure "Display PDF in browser" is checked then click "Make Default PDF Viewer" then click OK
#*close Foxit Reader (File > Exit)
#Start Firefox
#*Open the Applications panel (Tools > Options > Applications '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Options > Options > Applications)
#*type '''pdf''' in the search box; you should see "Foxit Reader PDF document"
#*in Action column, click the down arrow at the far right end
#*choose "Use Foxit Reader plugin for Mozilla (in Firefox)'
#**if the full name does not display, place the cursor over the item to see the full name in a tooltip box
#Test on a pdf file from the internet
#*If there is no toolbar at the top of the PDF display in the tab (just a blue strip), tap the F8 key to get the Basic toolbar, or right-click the blue strip at the top to display/not display other toolbars by clicking on them (checked=display; un-checked=do not display)

The active browser window that I use is constantly de-activating and I have to click on the window in order to navigate, type or do anything. It behaves as if I have clicked on another window to use even if it is the only window I have open.

Seems as if there is a set amount of time I have to use a browser window and when that time is up, I have to click on the window to use it again. Very aggravating. May not be a firefox issue, but I can't pin it down.

Hi username availabl,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If windows and menus on your computer are unexpectedly "losing focus" every few seconds, there are a few steps that can help isolate or resolve the issue.
First, try booting your computer into safe mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
If things are working normally in safe mode, this usually means OS X is fine, and the issue is caused by conflicting software in your user account.
Next, see if the issue occurs in a new user account. The steps in this article also apply to creating a new user in Mavericks:
OS X Mountain Lion: Create a new user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
If the issue persists in safe mode and a new user, I would recommend reinstalling Mavericks:
OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X

Windows 8 HP TouchSmart IQ510la Wrong Monitor Detection and TouchScreen Dosen't Work

Greetings;
Well i've finally managed (trought a complicated and unnecessarily complicated process) to install Windows 8 Pro, and it worked (Not completly im trying to solve so many issues, somebody made a serious mistake when it said Win8 will work well with my TouchSmart) but now one of the many problems i have is that my touch screen dosen't work. Also when i go to Device Manager on Windows 8 the monitor is listed as PnP Generic and that shouldn't be, i have alredy checked on the forums and tryied every solution for these problems, my graphic card drivers are updated, but i haven't been able to download any drivers from HP driver page for my model for Windows 8, so i wished to ask a few questions:
¿Is HP or Windows working on this issues?
¿Is there a solution for this issues? and if yes ¿Where? if no then the question before applies.
¿Is there a work around this? and if yes ¿Where? if no then the first question applies.
Also i think i should provide this
Model: IQ510la
Serial#: {Removed for privacy}
Product#: FK963AA - ABM
Thanks in advance

Weird look for Itunes 8.1 64bit on windows 7 RC.

Hi there.
I have this weird problem with my itunes on the new windows 7.
Its look like this.
http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/2453/itunesw.jpg
I did not have this problem before with windows 7, i used the beta before RC and there did it work, i have the newest graphic driver from nvidia to my graphic card.
can anyone tell me if it is a problem with itunes or the drivers in windows 7?

oka, i did ask the same question somewhere else. And got this.
Additional bugs found so far also include the visualizer and new genius features. It appears at least for some people that the iTunes visualizer does not seem to be working properly in iTunes 8.1. When you enable the Classic visualizer and start it up, it will stick in one mode and not change automatically. Usually this feature can be enabled or disabled by pressing the M key to toggle between automatic and frozen modes for the display. However, this doesn't seem to be working anymore. You can still switch the view and colors by pressing the Q, W, A, S, Z, and X keys to toggle between various settings for the visualizer, but it seems this bug will have to be addressed by Apple in another update. Deleting the iTunes preference files does not help this issue, and new user accounts are also affected.

Photoshop Elements Menu Bar Troublehsooting

Hey everyone, first time poster here. I have a question concerning a recurring problem that I'm having with Photoshop Elements 4.0's Menu Bar (File, Edit, etc.) I bought Elements 4.0 new in 2005 and have used it often since without upgrading because it still does what I need it to do for graphic design and photo restoration projects, but often, Elements' Menu Bar will lock up after increasingly shorter sessions of use. I can still use photo editing functions in the fields on the left & right, but the Menu Bar's buttons will flicker and not open when I click on them. When this happens, Elements won't close without Task Manager, and I can't use certain keyboard shortcuts on open projects (i.e. I can copy work suing Ctrl + C but I can't save it in Elements using Ctrl + S.) An unistallation and re-installation does solve the problem at first, but the frozen/flickering Menu Bar does return eventually
I don't want to buy a whole new version of Photoshop if I don't have to, so I was wondering if this was a recurring or fixable problem that I can correct, or is this a sign that I should get Elements 11 or 12? I'm running an HP Touchsmart 300 computer with Windows 7, and it flawlessly runs Elements 4.0 despite it's age aside from the aforementioned problem. This has been a recurring issue for over a year, but only now is it getting to a frequency rate where I can't move around it easily. I can provide other information if it's at all helpful, and thanks for any advance assistance!

First, thank you lundberg2 for moving this to the right forum, I didn't know that Elements had a separate forum.
I did delete the preference file for Elements 4.0, though not the way you gave because the Alt+Ctrl+Shift command didn't work on this version. I did it manually by deleting the Adobe Photoshop Elements 4 Prefs.psp file located in AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Photoshop Elements/4.0/Editor. This did help temporarily, but the problem returned after steady use today on restoring old family photos. Menu Bar buttons still just highlight and flicker, work can't be saved directly, and Elements won't close. I did notice that sometimes, changing the active tool on the left would get the Menu Bar selections open, but not all worked as normal, and the problem returned if I changed tools. Is there another possible fix/remedy that I could try?

Double arrow resize cursor of application frame extends over menu bar

Using Photoshop cs5 in application frame mode, when the cursor reaches any edge of the application frame it automatically turns into a double-arrow which when clicked and dragged will resize the application frame. (that is normal behavior). However, when the application frame is at the top of the screen against the menu bar, and then the cursor passes over the top edge of the application frame and onto the menu bar, that double arrow resizing cursor doesn't change back to the normal arrow cursor. Just very annoying to always see that double arrow when I'm trying to click any menu item on the menu bar.
I wonder if it's a photoshop issue or a mac issue, or if anyone else has noticed the same thing,
Working on a MacBook Pro 17" i7, 8gb ram in Photoshop CS5
Just tried doing the same thing in illustrator and it does not have that problem, everything works like it should - I move the cursor to the top and I don't even get that resize cursor at all (which is the way it should be since the top of the frame is against the menu bar there's no room to extend it upwards) so leads me to think it's a Photoshop issue.
Any feedback is appreciated.

I can confirm that this happens on my machine as well.
Current work around is to click an empty spot on OS X menu bar to reset cursor to normal before selecting a menu item. I have seen this behaviour since initial release of PS CS5 (all updates installed and behaviour still exists).
Illustrator CS5 does not display this behaviour on my machine either, so it would appear to be confined to Photoshop (I am assuming the mouse-over parameters for resize may be to blame, or lack of recognition of menu bar proximity).
Machine specs:
Mac Pro (early 2008) - 2.8 Ghz. Quad-Core
OS X (10.6.4) - fully updated
8 GB RAM (1 GB / slot)
nVidia 8800 GT video adapter
ACD 23" display
Logitech LX8 mouse (no software installed for mouse, generic OS X driver)
Note - Wacom Intous3 drivers installed (haven't tested behaviour with tablet pen yet, but tablet only plugged in and used for specific painting, not during displayed behaviour).
Default install for PS CS5 and AI CS5.
Issue displayed with or without any third-party plug-ins installed.
A fix would be good.

Why does this forum open in a window without the menu bar ?

When coming to this forum trough the " Access the Java Studio Creator Community Forum" link on the "Java Studio Creator Forums" page, it opens a browser window without the menu bar. I understand that Sun thinks it's better for me not to have the menu bar, but I personally prefer to have it. What I prefer over everything else is to have the choice.
By the way, one of the reason I prefer Sun products over Microsoft products is that I generally can choose what is better for me. Like to have or have not a menu bar, or to have my IDE in english rather that in french. (By the way, this last issue has been solved ;-))

Use this direct URL, you can have the menu bar still --

Active window bar, menu bar missing or hidden

Today after opening a PDF, my active window bar (at the top) and the Acrobat menu bar wouldn't display. It's Acrobat 9.5.5. Instead of giving me the normal active window bar and menu bar, it would give a gray Acrobat buttons menu. Each time I get it back to normal via F9, it doesn't stay that way. It's extremely frustrating. I cannot find any preference setting to fix this back to normal for good. Please help. Thanks.

Hi Jack,
Do you have Kaspersky Antivirus software installed?
Please update Kaspersky (KIS 2015) to its latest version 15.0.1.415 and that should fix the issue.
Refer the Kaspersky forum thread: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=307391&hl=Adobe

The top part of a Safari window is hid by OSX menu bar

I have an application that runs in a browser window. When this particular app is running in
Safari the top of the browser window is hid by OSX 10.4.1 menu bar; so I cannot move the browser window, also under the Safari/View menu all items are grayed out except text encoding. All other Safari windows work okay.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, then relaunch Safari.
If it's not Extensions, then follow the instructions here for troubleshooting third party Safari add ons that may be preventing the page to render correctly.

I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8

I have Photoshop CS5 Extended and it says updates available but when i download the updates it says updates failed please try again later, i have tried a few times and get the same message any help would be great i am running 64bit on windows 8.

I am running Windows 7 64 bit ultimate and have the same problem. My hard drive crashed, installed a new one and then reinstalled CS5 extended. Installation went fine, but can no longer open my camera RAW files from Photoshop (camera is a Canon EOS T2i. The message also tells me I am not eligible for the update. I am... and I cannot open my files and I could before. I can find nowhere to contact Adobe to tell me how to proceed. My daughter is all a registered user of the same product and she had no problems upgrading... we purchased ours each at the same time. I do know the difference is that I had to reinstall and she did not. If that means anything.
