Photoshop CS3 will not Display Open Image on Workspace -- only in the Navigator

I am using a Compac laptop computer with Windows XP Home with the Creative Suite 3 and 2 Gb of RAM.
The problem I am running into is that when I open a file in Photoshop CS3, it will open, however it only shows up in the navigator, not on the desktop/workspace. I can "zoom in" and "zoom out" however it is only reflected in the navigator, it still does not show up to be able to edit.
I have tried uninstalling and resinstalling the entire Creative Suite. That sometimes helps, but it doesn't seem to last. It has been happening now for about 6 months.
It seems strange so any advice/help would be wonderful!!

First things first.
Your image seems to be off screen. Try changing to the default workspace or changing the screen resolution to see if it becomes visible. Were you previously on two monitors?
Also try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Photoshop CS3 will not display all available actions in Actions folder

Windows XP Pro - CS3 Extended
I have appprox 400 actions. When I open the actions palet, then go to the actions options (clicking on the small downward pointing triangle in the upper right corner) I can see my options for actions, placed in a vertical column at the left hand side of the screen. There are 5 additional columns displaying the actions I hae, in alphabetical order. The 5th column ends in the "F's" even though I have actions starting with letters of the alphabet going all the way through the alphabet.
If I chose to 'Load Actions' a dialogue box pops up showing the actions folder (the one contained in the presets folder), but no actions appear. If I view the folder from Windows file explorer, I can see all of the actions.
Is there a limit to the number of actions CS3 will display? Why do I not see any actions shown in the Load Actions dialogue box?
I use a plug-in manager to limit the number of plugins CS3 loads on startup. Is there something similar for actions?
I appreciate all comment and help.
Thanks very much.

Photoshop CS3 will not auto-rotate images...

After loading CS3 on my new MacBook Pro (3.06 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo), Photoshop does not auto rotate images?
The finder rotates them...Bridge rotates them...Expression Media2 rotates them.....Photoshop does not
Obviously the camera, Nikon D2x, is set to tag vertical images for rotation. What gives? I can't find any sort of setting in PS for auto rotate.
It worked on my old laptop and on an old EMac.

Thanks! I appreciated the help. But I did that also.
It is a waste of my time to have to do this after every photo shoot. Photoshop and many other programs do this automatically. There has to be a reason for it not working on my new laptop. I even uninstalled and reinstalled CS3.
I was hoping for a solution not a work around....I guess I need to contact the Adobe support team. Do they frequent these forums or is it just us?

See if this helps .... Reset the iPad.
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider bar - let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up. Then check your emails.

Firefox will not display my photo website properly nor play the music from it on my new computer. I have 2 other PCs and it works fine on those.

Just set up a new PC and downloaded Firefox. It will not display my Zenfolio Photo website correctly nor will it play the music that accompanies the main page slideshow. I have 2 other PCs and it works fine on them. All are Windows 7 Home Premium.

Note that there is nothing wrong with setting Flash to "Ask to Activate" and click the Lego block icon on the Navigation Toolbar to activate the Flash plugin when needed.
You can verify on the Adobe Flash Players Test Page that the Flash plugin is working and which version you have once you have installed the plugin and checked the setting in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins"

Photoshop CS3 will not open in Windows 7 after functioning perfectly?

I have just installed Windows 7, 32-bit version within the last month. I reinstalled all my programs, including InDesign and Photoshop CS3. InDesign is working well. Photoshop CS3 worked fine until last week. Overnight Photoshop would not open! I have tried everything I can think of--deleting Preferences (it took me three days to find where it was, and the control-alt-shift doesn't work), and deleted a new program for viewing videos which was the only new program I had installed (just in case), then "repaired" the Photoshop using the original disk.
Finally was able to get into Photoshop BUT: Everything is screwy--colors are off, PS tells me I have only 1600 MB of RAM, when I know I have 2 Gigs installed, it looks really strange--everything is grayed out in a checkerboard pattern.
This is my third post on this issue--CAN ANYONE HELP ME?? I have been without my Photoshop for over a week, and desperately need to get it back. I am just now getting back on track, trying to get my website back, etal. after almost a year out of commission due to a broken back and crashed computer. Now I have my computer back and can't use PHOTOSHOP! HELP!
In addition, my computer suddenly says "We have had to revert to the basic Windows color scheme because there is one program that needs it (???), and then my desktop is all screwed up. I can't get my color management back--have to turn computer off and on again and then it's all right. This always happens after trying to enter Photoshop.
Please email me a response because this is getting very annoying, and debilitating. ([email protected])

Last week I spent 8 hours online with Sony trying to get Photoshop to work. They downloaded a new video card, and driver--nothing has seemed to work. After that I completely deleted Photoshop and re-installed it from scratch. It still does not work--colors are missing, RAM is incorrect--says I have 1678 MB RAM, when there are 2 gigs on the system. It's totally unusable. Since I am seriously thinking of upgrading to PS CS5, both InDesign and Photoshop, I am very nervous about whether that will work in Windows 7, especially after reading all the problems on this forum.
I read the other questions about CS3 and MAYBE it is a Windows Update. That is the only new thing I can think of to have caused this. Windows Restore is not feasible as I have been working on this problem for over three weeks, and can't go back that far.
My question is, is it feasible/safe to delete the LAST update where this happened? That's the only thing that hasn't been done.

Photoshop cs3 will not open any files when I try to open them?

Can somebody please help me? I have tried resetting my preferences in photoshop and it still does not work. I go to file < open < and the image does show up or anything I try to open in photoshop. I have windows xp and I am using photoshop cs3.

It almost sounds as though something has corrupted your installation of Adobe programs. It could be perhaps a necessary Common File being deleted, or corrupted.
Most Adobe programs offer the Repair Install feature, and I would see if it's available for CS3. CS2 Production Studio apps. allow for this. When I have had to do the Repair Install, I have just inserted the installation media (Disk 1), and have chosen Repair Install from the AutoRun menu. In some later versions, there was a Repair Install available from the Help menu, so you can look there too.
With suites, I have done the Repair Install for each program in the suite (CS2 Production Studio in my case), and just gone down the list (second, or third menu) of installed programs. For Production Studio, the whole process took no more than 45 mins. from the installation disks.
If you have lost something, the Repair Install should fix it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Will Not Install PLEASE HELP TRIED EVERYTHING

I downloaded from Adobe the Photoshop CS3 Extended Trial directly from Adobe. (BTW I am on Vista 32)
The first time I tried installing, ADBEPHSPCS3_WWE.exe successfully unpacked, I successfully transitioned to the Adobe Photoshop CS3 installation, and it appeared to install. After 30 minutes or so, the installer finished and simply said that shared components had installed but the Photoshop CS3 Component install failed.
I always got in the log Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.MFCLOC,version="8.0.50727.163",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18 e3b",processorArchitecture="x86"'. Please refer to Help and Support for more information
This, I know, is everyones typical problem.
I turned off firewall and antivirus.
I uninstalled ALL Adobe and Macromedia programs, including Flash and Acrobat.
I used Windows Install Cleanup Utility to remove them.
I downloaded the CS3 Clear from Adobe and cleared at levels 1, 2, and 3.
I created the Administrator account on my computer and tried everything on the Administrator account.
I tried installing Photoshop CS3 with compatibility mode for XP SP2.
I tried:
1. Open an Administrator command prompt by right clicking on Start -> All
Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt and selecting "Run as
Administrator" and clicking "Allow" for the elevation prompt
2. In the command prompt, type the command below
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
3. Reboot the machine
I tried:
Get command prompt up. It has to be run with admin rights so save yourself some time and run it this way.........Start/programs/accessories/.....right click command prompt and click run as administrator.
Then paste these commands in 1 after the other
regsvr32 vbscript.dll (THEN PRESS ENTER)
and
regsvr32 jscript.dll (AGAIN PRESS ENTER)
I even tried installing in Safe Mode but the CS3 setup would not initialize.
I do not know what else to do. I have CS2 which I will use, but I was really hoping to move to CS3 which is supposed to be better and faster. Does anyone know anything else to do? I am not a computer noob but I am not about to reinstall Vista. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated.

I was in the same predicament and after spend many hours over several days trying a multitude of things I finally found an easy fix (below):
========================================
Assuming you have Internet Explorer 7 go to:
Tools/Internet option/Advanced
Click the Reset dialog box. This will bring IE7 back to its default settings. You should reboot your computer. After logging back into Windows load IE and let it take you though its initial setup. When you are done close IE and install Photoshop.. This worked for me,,, hopefully it will work for you!

Adobe Photoshop CS3 will not run

I reloaded my windows xp 2005 (?) and tried to load my CS3 software. It will not even run. It has been suggested that the software can only be reloaded a certain number of times. I have reloaded this software 3-4 (?) times over the years. Is this the problem or is is something else?

Don't think there is a number of times you can re-install your program. You can only have 2 activated copies, so if you move to a different machine and don't deactivate on the old one it is still considered an activated copy.
But why would you uninstall and re-install your copy? THis rarely solves problems, espeically if you do not run the Adobe Script Cleaner. Also, the preference file is unchanged on a reinstall, so if there were errors in it before, they are still there.

Bridge will not display my image.

Here is what I get when I try and view an image in Bridge. It has been working fine and then all of a sudden I can't view images.
Thanks!

You folder is "building criteria". THat means it is compiling all the metadata on the images. You also have the message on the bottom "disk space is low". This could mean your cache disk is full or if you do not have a seperate cache disk your general disk is getting full. You should have 10-20% free disk space for system to operate correctly. For the math challenged if you have a 700 gig drive that would mean 70 to 140 gig of free space.
Dumping the cache will help, but it will have to be rebuilt.

My iPOD will not display visual during Video Playback - only Audio. Help!

My movies and TV shows are successfully downloaded from iTUNES and successfully synched to my iPOD, however, when I attempt to playback on my iPOD, I can only hear the content and not see it. The only thing I see is the movie album cover and the name of the movie and that is all. Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks.

On the menu of your iPod go to Videos> Video Settings> and turn TV Out to off. Hopefully this will help.

Preview will not print 8.5" x 14", only when the computer feels like it

This problem has gone on for too long and I don't know what else to do. I have flyers that I cannot print because preview refuses to recognize the document size correctly and consistantly, and I have no other program that can print to our copier.
This happens with any PDF that is not 8.5" x 11". Both 8.5" x 14" and 11" x 17" exhibit the same problem. First I open a PDF in Preview, then I change the document size in Page Setup to "US Legal" and scale of 100% (the scale is always wrong because it is automatically resizing the document to fit on 8.5" x 11"). Then I go to print, check under Paper Handling and under Destination Paper Size is says "Use documents paper size: US Letter". This does not change no matter how many times I visit Page Setup and no matter how many times I save and re-save the file.
At random it will recognize the document size as "US Legal", but this happens only when the computer feels like it, at least that's what it seems like because there are no other settings that are different between one file and another that would cause it to print one as Letter and the next one as Legal.
Some PDFs are created in Photoshop, while other are created in Acrobat. I cannot print directly from Acrobat because of some weird problem with our copier; I cannot print from any Adobe CS3 software.
I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.

com.apple.print.custompapers.plist didn't exist on my machine, but com.apple.Preview.plist did. I moved it to the desktop as you suggested, opened the files in Preview and this time it worked. Thanks so much!
I tried looking at the file, but it didn't make any sense to me. Must have been something in there that caused the problem, though.
