Photoshop CS6 64 bit not working on 64 bit Window 8 computer

I am running on Window 8 (64 bit) but Photoshop CS6 extended 64 bit does not work.  Simply cannot open or create files and goes dead and I have to use task manager to stop it from running.  No problem with Illustrator 64 bit nor with Photoshop 32 bit.  I tried reinstall but still same problem.

Try deleting the 64 bit prefs and see if that makes a difference. Start by closing the program and go to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)
Hold down the three keys Ctrl+Alt+Shift (not Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and right-click on the Photoshop Application and choose open - see image - and release the three keys when you see the settings dialog. Click the Yes button and wait for CS6 to launch.

  • Photoshop CS6 OpenGL not working

    I have been trying to use the 3D features of Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and have been having no success. I have enabled the 'Use Graphics Processor' in the Edit->Preferences->Performance dialog box. I have also ensured that I have the latest version of the drivers installed. The video cards (in a CrossfireX configuration) are Sapphire HD Radeon 7970s. The thing is, when I installed Photoshop a few weeks ago, I tested the 3D functions and they worked fine. Now they no longer do so. I have updated video drivers and Photoshop since then but when I reverted back to the older drivers, the 3D features still didn't work. I have tested OpenGL in Modo 601 and Houdini FX 12 with no problems. I was wondering if I am missing something obvious.
    Thanks

    The funny things is, the 3d options are not grayed out. But more importantly, I figured out a way to fix the problem. I deleted the Photoshop preferences on startup using CRTL+SHIFT+ ALT and this fixed the problem. I am now able to use the 3D features. I suspect that somewhere along the way the preferences were corrupted and while it showed that the 'Use Graphics Processor' option was enabled, it may not have been.

  • Update to Photoshop CS6 - Features not working

    I've updated Photoshop CS6 yet there are new features missing or not installed. For example, the smart sharpening filter. Would appreciate any help in relation to this.

      Don't think there are any updates to CS6 as current version is CC.

  • Photoshop CS4 serial not working for 64 bit

    Ok heres the story, ive been using my copy for about 8 months straight without any problems, yesterday I start up photoshop as I do every day and BLAM, it tells me the serial Ive been using is no longer valid.
    When i try to re enter the serial it gives me a big fat red cross.
    The weird thing is that the 32bit version seems to work just fine.
    I already tried re installing the program, used the CS4 cleaning utility and whatnot, but still the same problem, 64 bit asks for serial, 32bit works, I have 8 gigs of ram in my rig and hate to let it all go to waste by using the 32 bit, so if anyone has any clue about my problem, please share.
    Cheers

    Sounds like a specific part of the licensing service does not launch. Have you checked your event viewer and your Services panel?

  • Paste in Place in Photoshop CS6 is not working, am I missing something?

    Hey there,
    I've been using the Creative Suite since CS4, but still count myself as a beginner.
    I'm building a psd file with vectors from an ai file. I recall that in CS5 and CS5.5 I had no issue copying a vector from Illustrator and then using "paste in place" to land it in the same relative spot on the Photoshop canvas. Today, my world has crumbled! Try as I might, I cannot get my vector shapes to "paste in place".
    I am using Windows 7, service pack 1, and CS6 64 bit edition. Both Illustrator and Photoshop were entirely up to date as of today, and I'm in the midst of doing a reinstall, just in case that helps anything. I have already tried dumping the preference file, to no avail.
    Having taken a look through the forums, it seems that Illustrator's clipboard has been handling data differently somehow, and I'm pondering whether this might be the culprit of my issue. However, copying and pasting in place within Illustrator seems to work fine, problems only arise when I copy from Illustrator into Photoshop.
    I feel that I am likely missing something easy to overlook, and I would greatly appreciate some help.

    I asked a friend about this issue, and he says that functionality was never there. Is that true? Perhaps it should be, it would be extremely useful. Even though I thought I recalled having done this in the past, I guess I must be mistaken.

    Illustrator has a different origin behavior. There is a global origin and a per artbord origin. you need to fix the problem in AI.

  • 16 bits not working in CS4 - 8 bits is OK

    I have 3 ways that Photoshop CS4 is not working in 16 bit mode.
    1. If I attempt to use Image->Mode to change an 8 bit image to a 16 bit image Photoshop crashes.
    2. If I open a raw file using Camera Raw, and then click the open image button in Camera Raw, the image opens in Photoshop if I have Camera Raw in 8 bit mode, but Photoshop crashes if I have Camera Raw in 16 bit mode.
    3. An export from Lightroom 2.2 (using command-E in Lightroom) now crashes Photoshop.
    I'm sure the problem is with Photoshop, not the files because the problem manifests itself with raw files from at least 3 different cameras.
    I'm running on Mac OS-X 1.4.11 with 4G of RAM.
    Any ideas why the 16 bit mode would stop working?

    Profiles is the first place I would look. Move all unnecessary profiles to an unusable location and then see what happens. If that allows 16-bit image to open then you can put them a few at a time and see if you can find the corrupt one. Don't rule out the monitor profile.
    If it is not any profiles, then move PS preference files out of the user preference folder. You may have already done this.
    If none of this works then create a new user and see what happen when running from that account.

  • I receive the error Photoshop cs6 has stopped working for windows 7 32 bit

    I downloaded and installed cs6 for windows 7 32 bit and cant open it to use,i get the message" adobe photoshop cs6 has stopped working" I have tried different graphics drivers but still the same. My other adobe softaware works fine,IE: elements11 and lightroom4. Any ideas?

    Did you receive any error messages during the installation process?  You can check your installation log files to look for errors.  Please see Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html for more information on how to locate and interpret the installation log files.

  • Photoshop CS4 32 bit settings work for 64 bit version?

    Anyone know if Photoshop CS4 32 bit settings work for 64 bit version?  I just installed Windows 7 x64 and I want to use my backup Photoshop CS4 settings from the 32 bit version.  Will there be any problems?
    Also, it seems that since I'm on 64 bit Windows 7, the installer forces me to install the 64 bit version of Photoshop CS4, although the 32 bit version is optional.  Are the 32 bit settings stored in a different location from the 64 bit version?  Or will both version use the same settings from the same place?

    I think you are misunderstanding me. The sharing happens via the user home directory (C:\Users\[You]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe ...). 64bit specific settings will be denoted with an X64 in their file name, 32bit settings will be without any extra tags. Beyond that, the programs do not access each other's program directory, which shouldn't be required in the first place, as the default templates are the same for both to begin with. You can of course also copy your brushes and presets to the program directories, but then you will have to worry twice about keeping them in sync.

  • Photoshop CS6 Cloud 13.1.1 32-bit & 64-bit keeps asking to licence software at start twice

    Photoshop CS6 Cloud 13.1.1 32-bit & 64-bit keeps asking to licence software at start twice. Once when i start it and again once I sign in? I recently refreshed the host file in windows to see if helped but not.
    Regards
    James Howarth

    Hi James,
    This is a known issue with Photoshop CS6 specifically and will be addressed with a future update soon.
    The temporary solutions are to either uninstall Photoshop CS6 and not install the 13.1.1 update or continue signing in every few launches until an update is released.
    We have this document about the issue here:

  • Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - not working for one user - working for another

    Hi,
    I recently have an issue with Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - NOT working for one user - working for another.
    Windows 7 updates recently installed ???
    By checking the device properties on the user that works - "Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad 13/10/2011 Version 15.3.29.0"
    When the other user logs on, the touchpad works for a few seconds, then a displays a black square with a red diagonal line through it, then the touchpad won't respond. Trying to use the keypad to navigate to system diagnosics or anything to find further info is useless....

    Hey eagle_no11,
    Thank you for joining the HP Support Community!
    I will do my best in assisting to hopefully get the TouchPad to work on the second user profile.
    What I would like to start off with, is to restore the original Synaptics drivers onto the profile that is not working correctly. I have included the document Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
    Once you have installed the original drivers, you will need to complete all updates from both HP, as well as Windows. For these updates, if you open the HP Support Assistant, and select Maintain, you should see an option for updating.
    Please let me know how these steps do work out for you.
    Have a great day!

  • Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS

    Search Bar is not working for me in windows 7 32 bit OS'''bold text'''

    Hi Sameer,
    There's no version of Windows Vista that is supported, regardless of service packs.  You can always upgrade to Windows 7, though.
    Your other option is to use Brackets, the open source editor that Edge Code is based on.  It still supports Vista for now.  The downside is that Brackets lacks some features of Edge Code: Kuler integration, Edge Inspect integration, and Edge Web Fonts code hints -- although all of those except Kuler are offered as optional Brackets extensions too (you just have to install them).
    Hope that helps,
    - Peter

  • SQL Developer 1.1 Patch 3 still does not work on 64-bit Windows

    There has been a long-standing problem with SQL Developer 1.1 not working on 64-bit versions of Windows. When sqldeveloper.exe is executed, a very unhelpful error dialog stating "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc00000018). Click on OK to terminate the application" is displayed.
    While there is a workaround that involves running the sqldeveloper.bat file in the \sqldeveloper\bin subdirectory, it is a bit inconvenient and requires the user to discover this workaround. Furthermore, SQL Developer 1.0 did not have this problem, so it is a bit puzzling as to why the problem was introduced with SQL Developer 1.1 and why it is still not fixed with the latest patch.

    I can confirm that we have a fix for this problem. I'm not sure when this fix will be available in SQL Developer.
    The bug was introduced in 1.1 due to optimizations in the way that the native Windows launcher works to better support products like SQL Developer.
    Thanks,
    Brian

  • How do I change photoshop (CS6) to run as a 64 bit permanently

    I downloaded the 64 bit but but it reverts to 32 bit.

    Hi,
    What operating system are you using?
    Your using a 64 bit operating system?
    On a windows 64 bit os, there should be two photoshop cs6 versions installed, 32 and 64 bits.
    The 32 bit version is in
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6
    The 64 bit version is in
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6
    So, perhaps the shortcut your using to start photoshop cs6 is pointing to the 32 bit version.
