Photoshop CS4 fails to identify GeForce GTX 295

Photoshop posts a failure notice that the GeForce GTX 295 is outdated and unsupported. Newest driver has been updated. I have installed the script to allow Photoshop to talk to older video cards with no prevail. Open GL settings are dimmed aswell. Anyone know the work around for this issue?

As Chris said, check your driver ansd install the latest one. In the past, people had to disable the secondary GPU to get a 295 to work with PS, but that should no longer be an issue with the latest drivers. If it still is, check the NVidia panel and simply do as I told.

Photoshop CS5 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Crash

My specifications:
Photoshop CS5 (x64)
Windows 7 x64
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 (latest v197.45 driver)
Intel i7 920 2.67 GHz
My card is listed as a tested card for CS5 and NVIDIA says this is compatible with CS5, but today after using it, my screen went blank and the display driver recovered itself. It took about 5 minutes until Photoshop CS5 became responsive again and the GPU features were disabled. I am going to try GPU advanced mode and basic mode instead of normal mode to see what happens, but this is a shame that I have issues like this. I also had issues with CS4 like this.
What I did to cause this issue: I clicked" Place.." to place an object and that is when it crashed. It only happens randomly as I use Photoshop. Please NVIDIA or Adobe fix this issue. I love the GPU features and I want to run them, but this crashing is annoying for spending so much on buying this product. I hate to have to pay to contact Adobe technical support, it should be included with the purchase of software!
How to fix this without having to go to basic GPU mode or disabled GPU mode?

It comes down to policies within companies that in some cases we simply cannot know.
For example:
Does nVidia or ATI have a better plan to support cards with new drivers into the future? My experience is that right now, with my particular video card, ATI does a better job of making new features available (and making them work right) than nVidia. Is this based on support policy or simply what the engineers can and can't do? Maybe it's partially a matter of funding.
Who has a better handle on how to develop unified software and keep it working on all a whole family of cards? What is their software quality? I am active on Windows forums, and it sure seemed to take nVidia a lot longer to stabilize their drivers for Windows 7 than ATI.
Who has a better test lab? You can imagine that if one company has a better built/funded/maintained test lab, they're more likely to make new versions of drivers for old cards work properly if they have a computer set aside somewhere with that old card in it just waiting to try out new drivers. Unfortunately you can imagine with these companies making many, many new models all the time that funding that lab (and funding the MAINTENANCE of that lab) could get to be HUGE!
Lastly, how much do Marketing or other greedy business people influence company direction, vs. Engineers? Imagine a Marketing person's thoughts: "Stop making new drivers for that old card; we're not selling those and haven't for a long time. If a person has one and can't run the latest game or graphics software, he'll go buy a new one, and that's more money for us."
By the way, just to get an idea of how many different cards we're talking about, look at the sheer number of models listed in the various lists on this page: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/
Just food for thought.

Replace GeForce GTX 295...GeForce GTX 770???

Think it's time to update our video card since we are using Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC. Built our rig in 2009 and have the GTX 295 in there now which has been pretty good over the past 4 years.
Was looking at the GeForce GTX 770, which is around $400. Budget is around $500, which I know isn't a lot but think we can get something decent for that amount.
Saw the benchmarks and notes from Adobe that the GTX 6xx series preforms slighlty better than the Quadro series cards. I'm open to either.
Anyone have suggestions....
Our rig:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer
Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core
CORSAIR XMS3 12GB (6 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
EVGA 017-P3-1294-AR GeForce GTX 295 1792MB 896 Bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI

Thanks guys. Interesting. Don't get me wrong, after updating the driver, the 295 still runs pretty good out of AE CC. Exporting a 20 sec title 3d animation for use in premiere (MOV - PNG at full quality) then going to DVCPROHD tape, took 9 minutes with GPU compared to 4 hours before updating the driver. So it works pretty good. I know Premiere CC only used 1 of the 2 GPU in the 295 but still runs pretty good. CC_merchant you might be correct....keep plugging away with the 295 and save the $$$ for the future.

GeForce GTX 295 & FCS3

I currently have an ATI Rad X1900 card with 512Mb VRAM, but as im using motion a lot.. what would be a highly compatible and excellent upgrade? Ive been looking at the GeForce GTX 295.. is this card ok with the FCS3? IS it any good anyway?
Thanks in advance..

thanks david... ive read little about this card but now Im starting to think about power requirements... Im using an ATI Radion X1900.. in a 2007 MacPro Dual2.66.. im not so sure whether my system could provide the correct power requirements for this card.
I remember in 2007 I was using a 3Ghz Single core Pentium class processor in a Windows PC.. Id changed the G/card to a sapphire model and the PC kept shutting down when I started to do intensive rendering. The PCs power supply was upgraded and it solved the problem. Does anyone know the power requirements for these types of cards are vs MacPro specs of 2006/7 ?
thanks again,

Photoshop CS4 and PowerPC G5 GeForce 6600

I get frequent alert from Photoshop CS4 regarding display driver which say's to
check for driver update and that Open GL 2.0 is not available and that GPU is turned off. I can work in the photoshop but a few things are slow and look is not that great.
So can anyone help with this? I can't seem to find anything regarding a solution for this on apple or adobe or anywhere. anyone have some help or ideas. Do i need to upgrade to OS to 10.5 or is it a driver. which is can't seem to find. Also I have run apple software update a number of times and it says everything is updated and good to go.

the 6600 wasn't an officially supported card which shipped with any mac.
but I liked mine in the G4 I had
Ok, try this: Photoshop Preferences > Performance, UNcheck OpenGL Drawing. You don't need it, it's an eyecandy feature for the PS GUI more than anything else.

Photoshop CC not detect nVidia GeForce GTX 680 after driver upgrade (Windows 8 64-bit)

i just upgraded the driver for my nVidia GeForce 680 graphics card from the nVidia website. the specifications are shown below. Photoshop CC now says that it can't detect my graphics card. does anyone know the solution to this problem?
nVidia verstion 327.23 WHQL
release date: Sept 9, 2013
operating system: windows 8 64-bit
will adobe have to issue an update to photoshop CC to fix the problem?

hey chris,
thx for relplying. i appreciat it. here is what happened. i did an update through microsoft and downloaded a driver for nVidia. somehow that download caused PS CC to stop recognizing my GTX 680. i'm not sure why. subsequent to that, i went to nVidia's website and downloaded the current driver. i still found that PS CC didn't "see" my graphics card. that is when i wrote this post. after i posted this i rebooted my computer and found that everything now works fine. PS CC now recognizes my GeForce GTX 680 with no problems.

Photoshop Cs4 fails to install

When I go to install CS4 ,I get a message that Bridge is open. It is not open. I try to uninstall CS4 extended trial an the same thing happens. I tried to load CS3 and bridge won't open. CS4 bridge will load even though I have run out of daYS USING THE TRIAL VERSION.
So I am stuck with CS# and the new bridge.
Please help
Mike

Same topic, different mode of failure: In Windows XP Home, fails to recognize the installed PS CS3 v.10.0.1, and prompts for the serial number of a PS CS3 Extended version (the only choice in a drop-down). The Adobe eligibility charts show that PS CS3, CS2 and CS are eligible products to upgrade. The installed version of PS CS3 has been working fine for over a year and it is a legal version. I do notice that there is a PS CS2 also still installed, but the frequency of use seems to indicate they both are working together. CS2 is also eligible to upgrade, so there goes that alibi. A support case I opened was responded to by simply directing me to phone support, and abruptly withdrawn (not by me). There was a hint that I might be given a time sensitive unlock key.

Photoshop CS4 Crashes on Opening

I have a problem with Photoshop CS4 Trial. The first time that I ever installed it it worked without a hitch, along with several other trials; Dreamweaver, Fireworks etc... Since than I have reformatted my computer due to other problems and now am running a clean install of Vista 64. Now, however, Photoshop crashes every time i try to open it. Ive tried several installs in several different directories.
There are times during a couple of the installs that the installer has had an error, "Photoshop CS4 failed to install do you want to continue?" When that happen I close the installer and delete all files pertaining to any adobe software off of my system including their registries.
Another thing that I forgot to mention was that when Photoshop loads it says "The monitor Profile "Samsung - Natural Color Pro" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software." Than it gives me 2 options, "Ignore Profiles" and "Use Anyway". Ive tried both options. Is this causing my problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. My CPU specs are as fallows:
Processor: Intel Q 6600 (overclocked to 3.0)
Memory: 4gb Corsair Dominator pc3 1800
Hard Drives: WD 150gb Raptor, WD 500gb, 2 Hitachi 1tb Darkstars
Motherboard: EVGA 790i Ultra
Graphics: 2 BFG 9800 GX2 (not in SLI)
Displays: 3 Samsung 216bw, Dell 17in generic.

Did you do a low-level format or just the usual Windows install re-partitioning? Also, did you change the physical layout of the disks (partition sizes, drive letters)? Both things might have an influence due to producing a different disk signature/ footprint. Another thing to look into is whether Windows used a different driver for the drives and/or has enumerated them differently in the device manager. The same would apply to specific BIOS settings and drivers for RAID and SATA...

Photoshop cs4 install fails on Vista with registry access error 1406

I've been trying to install Adobe Photoshop CS4 on my Vista for a couple of days now. It grinds for a minute or two then tells me "Installation of the following components has failed: Adobe Drive CS4, Adobe Photoshop CS4" when I cancel the install and click the "More Information" button, I see this:
Adobe CSI CS4
Error:
Error 1603. Error 1406.Could not write value AdobeCS4ServiceManager to key \SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.
When I go into regedit, I have no problem creating a string value in the indicated key.
Here are some of the things I've tried:
1) run setup as administrator (even tho I have UAC turned off)
2) run setup in WinXP SP2 compatibility mode
3) use the Adobe Support Advisor to track down the error in their knowledge base and followed steps to apply permissions to descendents of the indicated tree
Done lots of googling plus searching of the experts-eschange knowledge base.

Choose Custom during install, deselect Version Cue, Adobe Drive and Acrobat.com. The CSI Service is related to that.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing.

How do i stop photoshop cs4 from quitting unexpectedly when saving a photoshop pdf? i attempted to download the adobe drive 5 but the installation keeps failing. I went through the process of clicking through the how to's and the troubleshooting and came to the conclusion that I need to install the adobe drive 5 but I can not complete the installation. I may be incorrect on this so I need immediate assistance as I have poster and ad deadlines. I also tried disabling the gatekeeper and solution 3 on the troubleshooting of slow saving on photoshop.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you!

Are you attempting to save the file to a network location instead of your local hard drive? If so, this is probably why you are encountering an issue and why Adobe Drive would be the solution. As we've documented, it is a bad idea to open from or save directly to a network source: Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later. Drive can help you get around this by setting up an Adobe supported virtual connection to the network. Thus, if installing Adobe Drive is the solution you need and your need help with installing Drive, please post to the Downloading, Installing, Setting Up forum.
If you are not saving to a network location, then Adobe Drive is not going to be the answer. Then we'll need to know more about the file you are saving.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Photoshop CS6 doesn't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?

I just bought a brand new Alienware M17x R4 with Windows 8 Pro x64 and Photoshop CS6 won't recognize my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M GPU?
I've already updated Windows 8, Photoshop and the Nvidia graphics driver.
Any ideas? I spent so much on a nice graphics card but now it seems PS CS6 can't even use it. It's using the Intel HD4000 instead:
I also tried this: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4545768#4545768
And deleted the settings but that didn't help.
According to this, my graphics card should work, it's a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M, which is a 600 series GPU: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html#tested_cards
Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6
Adobe tested the following video cards before the release of Photoshop CS6. This document lists the video card by series. The minimum amount of RAM supported on video cards for Photoshop CS6 is 256 MB. Photoshop 13.1 cannot display 3D features if you have less than 512 MB VRAM on your video card.
Important: This document is updated as newly released cards are tested. However, Adobe cannot test all cards in a timely manner. If a video card is not listed here, but was released after May 2012, you can assume that the card will work with Photoshop CS6.
Adobe tested laptop and desktop versions of the following cards. Be sure to download the latest driver for your specific model. (Laptop and desktop versions have slightly different names.)
nVidia GeForce 8000, 9000, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 series
I've run out of ideas. Any suggestions?

Okay, I figured it out...duh.
My bad...or rather, Nvidia's bad!
In their app profiler, they set Photoshop to use the "default" settings, which defaults to the integrated graphics. By changing the profile to make it use the discreet graphics, it worked!
This also fixed my issue of the background flashing / flickering.
I know that's a known bug with Windows 8 + AMD (http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/image-background-transparent-or-flickers.html)
However, Adobe should look into this same bug occuring with the Intel HD4000 integrated GPU, because this happened with my laptop.
Maybe that bug doesn't occur on systems that only have an integrated GPU, but on systems with Optimus, it's definitely a reproducible issue.
When I switch back to integrated, the issue pops up again.
It's nice that Nvidia provides an option for us to either use the integrated or discreet graphics, however, Adobe needs to follow through and make sure that Photoshop doesn't wig out when we're using the integrated GPU. Sometimes, your customers need to do work on battery power, so the integrated flickering /flashing /transparent background bug definitely needs to be fixed.
Personally, I can get 6hrs out of this laptop running the integrated GPU, but when I use the discreet, that cuts it down to only 2hrs.

Photoshop CS4 Issues with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800?

I have an Mac Pro Intel 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Xeon with 6GB RAM running OS X 10.5.5 and an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT driving two monitors.
I just installed Adobe Photoshop CS4 fresh from a factory CD.
When I perform a Distort -> Lens Correction or do a Free Transform to rotate an image an arbitrary amount, and then follow that with a resize (tried 133% and 166%), the image ends up with a pattern of gray plaid overlaid -- especially visible in the darkest shadows. The pattern appears only on the rotated layers of an image.
This pattern persists if I quit and restart Photoshop, BUT -- there's no pattern visible if I open the same image in Photoshop CS3. It only appears in CS4.
This is easy to reproduce -- I just tried it with an image I created in Photoshop at 5x7" at 240dpi and filled with solid black.
I dropped a Bug Report to Adobe, and they wrote back suggesting "This is most likely an issue with your video card driver."
Anybody else out there having this issue? Anyone with an identical setup want to test this?

I'm seeing what you are talking about when viewing at 200% and up on my 300dpi images. I'm thinking that its the new pixel grid overlay for dialing in the details on the image.
No, that's not it. I can see it at 100%, and only on images that have been rotated and resized.
In fact, yesterday I rotated one layer under an unrotated layer, and only the rotated layer showed the plaid pattern.
And it's not a simple grid -- it's a real plaid-like gray, almost like stretch marks.

Photoshop CS4 for Mac What can cause the error: Plug-in failed to load - NO VERSION

With Photoshop CS4 for Mac I install the Kodak Plug-in DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0. When Photoshop starts I get an error:
Plug-ins that failed to load:
   DIGITAL GEM Airbrush Professional v2.1.0 NO VERSION - - from the file “DigitalAIRProv2.plugin”Flash:
   Connections
   Kuler
This plug-in works fine on my Mac Pro with Photoshop CS4 and OS 10.6 but fails on a new Macbook Air.
Reinstalling the plug-in did not make any difference. What can cause this error?

Thanks Chris, That was my first thought too but this same plug-in works on another installation of CS4. This is a Mac installation and the plug-in is Universal so it should work. Is there any other possible cause for this error? Would Photoshop refuse to load a plug-in in a low memory situation?
Also, The Flash extensions:Connections and Kuler are working OK, I just copied a little more out of the System Info report than I needed to.
