Photoshop causes Windows 10 to freeze

Hello,
I am running Server 2012 r2 Datacenter. The server has 32 gig of ram installed and I am using an Intel quad core E3-1220 v2 CPU which runs at is 3.1Ghz. I am running Hyper V Manager and have one virtual machine set up specifically for design
and development work. The virtual machine is running windows 10 and has 8 gig of ram allocated. Guest Services is enabled. The client machine has two video cards enabled and in use. One has two displays on it and the other has just one. The default video card
is an Nvidia GForce GT 360 and the other is an AMD Radeon HD6570.
When I use Photoshop CS6 and try to enlarge some images for editing or if im trying to navigate around an enlarged image the system freezes and I find that the only way I can fix it is to exit out of my session and log into the server, access Hyper V Machine
Manager and shut the Windows 10 system down and restart the machine. Sometimes when I reopen Photoshop it tries to recover the session and the freeze happens again and other times it will work until I once again enlarge the image.
I have checked with some other forums and some have said that the issue could be the Hyper V Video system and other forums have said that it might be an issue with windows 10 drivers. I have yet to find a fix or find out for sure what is causing the issue.
Sorry for the long post.

Hi Sir,
First , you can create a new win8/8.1 enterprise VM to narrow it down .
Then please try to use RemoteFX to improve Graphic performance over RDP session :

Ipod Software Causing Windows 2000 Boot Freeze

Hi All,
We loaded our new IPod software onto my wifes Dell 4100. After loading the software, the system will no longer boot. It freezes on the Windows boot screen every time. We've tried the F8 options and the system wont safe boot either. Help!
Rob

I'm having a similar problem. I may end up buying antoher hard drive and install the OS on it, using my current drive as a slave (storage) drive. this way I can get all of my files off of the original hard drive.
I have not found any solution to the problem yet.

Apple Software Update causes Windows XP to freeze

I received a package including Security Update for Quicktime 7.2 and itunes + Quicktime 7.4.3.
When I chose to install this I waited over 45 minutes for completion of the Security Update for Quicktime 7.2 package. This never completed. During this time, of course, everything else on the computer ran painfully slowly.
I then chose to Quit the installation. The rollback or cancellation of the package did not complete. My machine was nearly inoperable due to the impact of this package on my machine. I had to reboot to restore functionality of my machine.
What exactly does this package do? Send all my data to Apple? Snoop? Install Rootkits? perhaps my virus program blocked Apple from installing the malware...

The following document describes what that update does:
About Security Update for QuickTime 7.2 for Windows
Try rebooting the PC, and prior to launching any other programs, launch ASU to see if you can get the update. Does it go through properly this time, or do you still get the same agonisingly-drawn-out behavior?

Firefox stops responding and causes Windows to stop responding also

Sorry if this is vague; I just wrote a very, very detailed post on my issues but then the site decided that I didn't have permission to post it and erased everything.
My problem is that Firefox freezes and causes Windows to freeze for a while also. after a few minutes it goes away, but today I got the following error message:

I noticed the file "mswsock.dll" mentioned so I looked for issues with it. Apparently there are issues with malware and Firefox and that file. I have scanned and it found nothing, plus this issue has existed in three formats of my drive and windows re-installs (for other reasons, I didn't format and re-install just to make sure there was no malware) so I'm pretty sure there are no problems with malware.
I am running a Minecraft server and I have a static IP set up, but I've been doing this for three years without issues so I don't think that's the issue either.
I have tried disabling all plugins. Still crashes and crashes Windows with it.
I have run Memtest86+ and the windows memory tester. Not a memory issue.

Windows XP Machine Freeze before Login Screen 2015

Has there been any Windows updates applied recently that may be causing this? Has any new hardware been added to them? A virus seems unlikely but not impossible. How old are the machines and how many is this happening to?
When you get to System Restore, what is the last checkpoint showing as having a Restore point created for? It is quite likely that that event is causing this
You really need to look at getting off XP - it is out of support and is going to have more and more of these problems

Hi All,
Suddenly all machines running Windows XP just freezes before the login screen comes.
Windows boots up. Showing the LOGO but just before the login screen comes it just freezes.
I have performed system restore some restore and boots up but some does not restore.
On Some of the computers that have been restored successfully, this problem has reoccured. The are instance where we have formatted a machine completely, but after a while this problem reoccurs.
I am suspecting a virus but not totally sure.
Can anyone help

Window manager, dock freeze, menu bar disappear

Hello,
Almost once a day since I installed Leopard (one week ago), at some point, I can not anymore swap between my apps. When this happen, Exposé doesn't work, Spaces doesn't work, the dock doesn't answer (when I right click to choose or to kill an app, nothing happen). However, I am able to quit the current application. When I do so, the menu bar disappear and the next application does not answer.
Even Command-Option-Escape does not work, so I can not kill anything and I have no choice but to hold the power button until the computer shuts down and then reboot.
This is kind of annoying. I usually have Thunderbird, Firefox, Sunbird and Adium as openned application when this happen... but they are always open, so I can not say if it is because of them.
When I installed Leopard, I checked the option to install fresh, but keep the old system, and it looks like the installator did not really do a fresh install (I have all my previous applications without having installed them).
I'm in the dark and wonder if I will wait for a patch, install Leopard fresh (really this time), or roll back to Tiger...
Please help!

I find that a permissions mask is causing the windowmanager to freeze hard to believe, frankly. I'm experiencing this freeze-up problem on Tiger 10.4.11. Not Leopard. I have been seeing the following symptoms prior to a freeze:
1. Progressively slower and slower operations due to very high loads: 3.9 to 4.5.
1.5 switching apps starts to take a long time.
2. I have been using Camino frequently. Prior to using Camino I never had any such issues. It might be related, even if I think it is unrelated.
3. When I go to switch apps with Command-Tab, it just fails--- the windowmanager freezes and thusly no more keyboard input is heard. It seems that the system is still running fine, though, even if the windowmanager is totally frozen. How do I know this? I can hear things happen when I plug in an ethernet cable, for example--- immediate disk activity as the box registers with DHCP. I did not have the option to log into the system remotely to truly demonstrate that this is, in fact, the situation.
This most recent freeze, I command-alt-w'd (close all) windows in the Finder, as it was consuming an inordinate amount of CPU time. Activity Monitor had just reported that "Finder was not responding" I watched as Finder proceeded to close a few windows, and then when I command-tabbed through 4 apps it froze.
I must reboot, in order to resolve the issue, as no activity from console will do anything.
It is possible that I have a corrupted plist, but it will take time to identify the exact cause of this freeze up. What is the bug in Leopard to which you refer, and what are the exact permissions in question? Could that bug, or a similar bug have shipped with Safari 3?
To help resolve the permissions bug you speak of, one could run "find" at the command prompt with the appropriate args to find all files of a certain permission bitmask, but you've left me nothing to work with, only vague information. If you know of the bug, please post the URL to the bug listing here. If you cannot do that, please describe the bug in detail.
Any advice would be appreciated.
have a day.yad

Photoshop cs3 + windows vista + intuos 3

I am working with "photoshop cs3" "windows ultimate vista" and an "wacom intuos 3" tablet and I experience heavy lags while drawing like the brush-strokes don't quite follow my moves, and I have to wait for them to catch up.
When I open a large file and I try to apply the first brush stroke on my drawing the cursor screen disappears for a while and photoshop is not responding.
Then Photoshop comes back so the cursor and I can start to work. But as soon as I drag the page using the little Hand tool photoshop stops responding again for few more seconds and when it restarts I can hardly control the direction of my new brush strokes.
Apparently in order to restart the only remedy I found (by chance) is by toggling the layer visibility status (change a layer from visible to not and back to visible again). After this exercise I can draw in photoshop again! But of course same problems again as soon as I will use the hand tool and move on the screen again!!!
Any idea about what could be behind my problems!?
What should I check?
(These problems started after last week immediately after re installation of vista on my machine, I never had this problem with vista photoshop and intuos on that same machine before!)
Thanks
Mario

I have CS3, Vista Ultimate and an Intuos3 tablet. No lags or delays now. But I used to have them and many were reported on the Wacom Users Forum when Vista first came out. I can't remember now what the fix was - have a look on the Wacom Users' Forum. If you had it running ok on your previous Vista installation some software setting must have changed in the new installation. Things that may help are:
get latest Nvidia vga card drivers (if you have an Nvidia card); get the latest Wacom driver; Logitech Setpoint software conflicting - the latest is ok for me; disable/switch off the Vista Pen and Input device.
Sorry, I can't remember the fixes but they should be available if you dig around in the Wacom Users' Forum.

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files?

I received a psd file created in CS6 for MAC, I am unable to find the layers when I open it in photoshop in Windows. What can i do to edit the files? What can be done so that I can either open and see the layers or how can the sender save it in a way that it doesn't "merge" the layers in some way to just one?

Could try saving as tiff provided layers and transparency are chosen at the time of saving. But it's hard to give a definitive answer as it depends on the final usage. For example PSD's tend to work better in applications like In Design in comparison with tiff.

Ipod causes windows explorer to restart

Intel processor bug causes Windows 2008r2 guest to blue screen

We recently purchased several B200-M3 blades with E5-2680v2 processors. Our UCS infrastructure and blade firmware is at 2.2(1d). ESXi hosts are at 5.5u1.
From my reading of the Release Notes, this makes the new blades vulnerable to Caveat CSCuo30572 which is a bug in the v2 processors that can cause Windows 2008R2 guests to blue screen.
VMware KB2073791 also deals with this bug
The Intel Erratum is C135
Updating the firmware (2.2(1d) probably to fixed version 2.2(3d)) is a relatively long process in our environment.
Has anyone experienced this bug? Do the guests blue screen at any particular time; e.g. when booting? Are Windows 2012 guests impacted? One of our new v2 blades was running Windows 2008R2 guests for about a week without any known problem. It has since been taken out of production.
The Release Notes (2.2) description for CSCuo30572 is: "Intel v2 processors no longer cause PSOD with Microsoft Windows 2008 R2 VM guests." Should the PSOD (ESXi crash) actually be BSOD (Microsoft crash)? Or can ESXi purple screens be caused also, crashing the entire host?
The Release Notes also indicate that the Caveat is resolved in release 2.2(2c)A. Does the A indicate that an Infrastructure update is all that is needed? That does not seem like it would supply the fixed microcode to the processors via BIOS.
I'm basically looking for some insight before proceeding with another FW update. Thank you.

Yes, it refers to Infrastructure (UCS Manager, FI and IOM). You could just upgrade the infrastructure to 2.2.3d and leave your Servers at 2.2.1d

Printing duplex with HP Officejet Pro 8600 causes windows 7 OS to shut down/restart

Why when printing duplex with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer it causes windows 7( 64-bit) to shut down/restart. Windows message is "Windows has recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I've ran HP Hardward Diag. Utility and Print and Scan Doctor which indicated everything is working properly with the printer. Ocassionaly I can print duplex without windows shutting down and restarting, but most of the time it creates issue with Windows causing it to stop and restart. Single sided printing seems to be fine. I've already oncehad windows to "Startup Repair" in which ccase I selected restore to a previous working point. Everything worked for awhile then a duplex printing session starting causing windows to shut down again. THanks for your assistance.

Yes, the updated USB 3.0 driver corrects the issue and should be installed.

Windows 8.1 freezes while booting up with discrete graphic card T520

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me here. If I use my discrete video card (nvs 42000m) to boot into windows, it will freeze on the sign in page or sometimes on the metro page however when Optimus is enabled it works just fine.
So I thought it was a driver issue. I went to Nvidia and downloaded their latest video card driver for windows 8.1. No help
Uninstalled that, went to Lenovo's support site and installed their recommended driver and all other windows 8 drivers. Again it would freeze
Booted into safe mode uninstalled that, turned optimus back on, and this time used Windows update to install my video drivers (intel and Nvidia both this time).
Didn't work. So I spent maybe another hour or so fiddling and after many restarts i finally found the culprit. It was the Lenovo monitor driver. As soon as I uninstalled that, everything worked fine and I could finally use my laptop with optimus disabled and discrete video card enabled.
Windows update keeps recommending me to update the monitor driver but if I do, then it freezes again so I'm just leaving it as the default generic monitor.
The reason why I made this thread is to inform and save potential users in the future who have a similar laptop to mine (t520 with hd 3000 and nvidia 42000m) with Windows 8 installed and they happen to choose to solely run their laptop with the discrete graphics card, remember to uninstall your monitor driver.
I am open to recommendations and other alternatives.
