Photoshop / Games under Windows XP

Hello there,
Before ordering a Mac Pro, I just want make sure that Photoshop and games run perfectly on Windows XP. Is the graphic card fully supported by Windows ?
Has someone already tried Boot Camp ? And even better, does someone have benchs of the Mac Pro under windows running PS or games ?
Greetings,
Chris.
MacBook, PowerMac 2x2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Everything should work fine under windows. Honestly Photoshop will run better in Windows than it does on the Mac side due to it not being Universal Binary. Hopefully Adobe will release a UB version soon whether that is CS2: UB or CS3
And games will run very smoothly, just make sure you get teh x 1900

Malfunction games under Windows on Mac

Hello guys,
through the Steam platform I play games with an iMac 27" with the following configuration:
Processor: Intel Core i7
Processor speed: 2.8 GHz
Number of processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
Memory: 8 GB Ram
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4850
VRAM: 512MB
BootCamp: Windows XP (120 GB)
3.0 VMware Fusion with Windows XP
All drivers installed with the BootCamp disk.
When I use the games under Mac OS X these work very well but of course those that are compatible with this system are still few. So I'm forced to use BootCamp to use the games are only compatible with Windows. Using Boot Camp I have some problems, because under this system games as "Guns of Icarus", "Wings of Prey" and "Napoleon Total War" will not work. Precisely with these games for a moment you open the loading screen of the game programs and then this closes immediately.
Games Wings of Prey and Total War Napoleon I tried only the demo, because I wanted to make sure they worked before buying the full game while the game Guns of Icarus I tried the full version because I've already purchased.
The computer has a powerful hardware that supports these games I tried. I hope you can give me some suggestion to run these games under Boot Camp.
Thanks

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
although I too installed Steam some days back in OSX (mostly to get the free Portal...) it is quite some years agi, since I last used Steam on a then owned PC.
My first action would be to look inside the Steam Forum if there are others with the same problems with the same games or in general with Steam on a BootCamp Windows.
Also, there might be some kind of log file inside the Steam folder on your harddisk where there might be some informations why the games/demos you tried crash.

Photoshop CS5 (under Windows 7) crashes when I try to print

Hi,
I am running 64-bit Photoshop CS5 Extended upgraded to current version (12.0.4).
When I try to print, every single time, I get the following error immediately:
     > Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working
          Windows is checking for a solution to the problem
and then shortly after
     > Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working
          A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
          Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Quite infuriating. My printer works fine. I can print photos to it from Lightroom no problem (which, in this occasion, I had to do - saved from PS, imported to LR, then printed... very efficient!!).
I note there are other posts on this but they seem to be mostly Mac and also many seem to cure by upgrading to 12.0.4.
I am a relatively light user (keen amateur not professional) so I don't use PS regularly. However this also means it is pretty much an out-of-the-box install since I don't tinker with it either. It's so long since I last used it I can't remember if I had this problem last time - I vaguely recall having had it sometimes but not others. Doesn't seem to matter whether the file I opened is a JPG or a PSD (the only two I have tried).
Any help out there?
Thanks

So if we have say, 10 or so printers with 10 different drivers and every application works with every printer, including Photoshop.
And we apply an update to Photoshop.
And now Photoshop crashes everytime we print regardless of what printer we pick, but a previous version of Photoshop is still able to print.
Do all the printer drivers suddenly have bugs . . . or could it possibly be the common denominator, i.e Photoshop, that has the bug?
Everyone who is having this issue of Photoshop crashing when you try to print after a change/update.
Try this:
DO NOT MERELY ATTEMPT TO PRINT EXISTING FILES.
Start a fresh document and attempt to print that.
If you can print any file created AFTER the change/update but cannot print any files created BEFORE the change/update, this indicates that Photoshop is retaining file attributes that are not compatible with printing after the change/update.
How can these attributes be replaced with compatible attributes? Changing the default printer as mentioned above may do the trick.

Trouble with second+ lunching Photoshop CS5 under Windows XP 32-bit

I install trial version of Master Collection CS5. All right. Start the Photoshop CS5 Extended, change preferences and restart it. After second lunch of program, see critical error.

Photoshop CC2014 and Windows 8 - click "drag" problem

Hey there!
So, I have recently started using the latest version of Photoshop CC2014 under windows 8.1 and I'm having this weird problem.
I'm using a Cintiq 24HD touch with latest drivers, and touch disabled. I have also disable any kind of click and hold windows has - for tablets and for touch input.
Cursor Drag problem in Photoshop CC2014 - YouTube
Still, when I try to make fine adjustments on sliders, I click and the slider simply does not move. This does not happen every click, but it happens often enough to be annoying as hell. It is happening everywhere, from panels to liquify window, to using the hand tool to navigate the image, and not only in sliders! Trying to make fine adjustments in liquify with your brushstroke jumping around is not fun.
I'm not sure what and where the problem is, but this simply does not happen in any other application (Photoshop CC; Sketchbook Pro, Paintstorm Studio, Krita).
Does anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance,

I have been using Photoshop on windows for more then 20 years on windows. Windows 95, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 7. I never installed Windows ME, Windows Vista or Windows 8. I have never seen any version of Photoshop change a displays brightness or even the image color when scaling or going from float to tab to single image with PS UI to full screen. However I hardly ever use Photoshop in full screen mode.
At different zoom views image may seem like the color change because of the scale of the image or the portion of the image that is on screen or the color of the border around the image.

Sound won't work properly under Windows XP

Under Bootcamp (Windows XP SP 3, fresh installed) the sound from the right loudspeaker is a LOT louder than the sound from the left one. Under Mac OS everythings seems to be normal.
What could that be? Especially when I play games under windows it sounds awful.

Photoshop Elements does not start under Windows Vista

The Twain-Module of my Canon CanoScan FS4000US Filmscanner works only under Windows Vista (no newer OS!). Fortunately I own an older Notebook with Vista as OS, so I have PSE Version 5.0.2 installed and use it to import my old color negatives via the twain module. Fine! It even works with 42 bit. But suddenly, PSE refuses to start and freezes at the window loading the libraries. At this stage it can only be stopped with the help of the task manager. A little search in the internet informs me that I am not the only user with that specific problem. Any help from Adobe?

After a view days of searching a found a solution: I installed the MS Visual C++ Reditributable für Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 (both 32 bit and 64 bit) and now Photoshop Elements runs without any problems.

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended freezes on startup under Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit - No splash screen

I installed my licensed copy of Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended today as part of my install a bunch of software after a reinstall of Windows (due to viruses). I did a completely fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I've used Photoshop CS3 Extended for quite a while now so I know what to expect on startup but it was previously installed under Windows XP Professional (32-bit). Figured I would give Windows 7 a chance this time around.
Google searches aren't turning up anything. When I attempt to start the application, I get a window with the title "Adobe Photoshop CS3" (no "Extended" - I seem to recall the title changes later) and the toolbar appears. However, no splash screen appears and no Product Activation wizard appears - the application simply freezes on an empty frame and a toolbar. I've tried running Photoshop as Administrator (right-click, "Run As Administrator"), but nothing changed there. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I tried upgrading to CS3 10.0.1. Nothing works. The application simply freezes before it gets anywhere.
I tried calling Adobe Support since this technically falls under installation issues but their phone support systems are down today. Go figure.
Edit: I hooked into Photoshop with the Visual Studio debugger and every single thread is executing some variation of WaitForSingleObject() or WaitForMultipleObjects(). The main thread is "executing" somewhere in AdobeLM_libFNP.dll (at address 09619d81 - if I had debugging symbols for CS3, I could provide a function). There are nine threads "running" at the point the freeze occurs - but all of them are technically suspended due to the functions they are executing - and one thread is in a suspended state.

And, according to the Event Viewer, the "Binary" data translates to a zero-terminated Unicode string of "Cross-thread".
My Visual Studio analysis was far more informative. All threads are hung inside of WaitForSingleObject() and WaitForMultipleObjects() calls and the DLL in question appears to be FlexNet-related. I did forget to mention that I also even manually started the FlexNet service in case, for some strange reason, Photoshop was waiting for it to start. That also did not work.
(And there is nothing in the Action Center control panel either despite the message saying there might be more information there.)
Edit: The timestamp above might be a little odd-looking. I didn't originally see anything in Event Viewer until I clicked the first button to send an Error Report. Mostly I just skipped that part of killing a process.

Well it came installed on my brand new Windows 8 pro w530 I received 4 weeks ago and has never worked. When you try to open power manager it just crashes. If you uninstall it the Lenovo software just keep reinstalling it. If you uninstall the Lenovo PM driver but do not reboot you can then open Power Manager. The minute you reboot the Lenovo software reinstallls the driver.
Why would Lenovo install software on a brand new Windows 8 laptop that is broken and useless? Tech support is absolutely no help they transfer you to the software department which wants to charge you to fix a problem that Lenovo created!!! It is crazy!! I was hoping someone here could solve this problem or maybe someone at Lenovo would see this and get the problem resolved. Tech support has been useless. I reported the problem to them at least 5 times.

Photoshop 6 & 7 does not install under Windows 7 Home Premium

I recently updated from Vista Home Premium SP2 to Windows 7 Home Premium.
Now I need to re-install my Adobe Photoshop 6 to be able to upgrade to Photoshop 7.
When I try to run the Adobe setup.exe as administrator, setup starts, the cpu load goes up but
then the setup disappears without error message.
I tried all the different compatibility modes (Win95, 98, 2000, xp, Vista) - no success.
Can anybody help please?

Hi Bineesh,
just to avoid confusion: I'm not talking about Adobe Photoshop "Elements", the product is Adope Photoshop 6 & 7, both
predessors of Adobe Photoshop CS.
Both Photoshop 6 & 7 were running with Vista SP1, which was the pre-installed OS on my Laptop, and I had installed
both Photoshop versions under Vista with no problem.
Before trying to install Win7 Home Premium, I ran a full data backup, then I tried Windows Easy Transfer to save my
data on external disk.
When I tried to install Win7 using the upgrade option, this failed. So I did a complete fresh new installation of Windows 7
and used Win Easy Transfer to import my data. This, however, did not work properly.
I therefor formatted the disk and did a complete new Win7 install, afterwards I did a data revovery to import my data.
Photoshop 6 runs under Win7, however PS7 does not, giving the message "No personalization data found- reinstrall".
I cannot reinstall, because the PS7 is an upgrade from PS6, and when I try to reinstall, it says that no product is found.
I therefor tried to reinstall PS6 as well, which does not work under Win7.
When I check the event log after failed installation, this is what it says:

Photoshop CS4 Photomerge doesn't work under windows 8.1

Hello!
I have Photoshop CS4. Whereas it worked very well under Windows XP SP 3, I have a problem using it under Windows 8.1.
Photomerge doesn't work. As soon as I click on it, It shuts down Photoshop.
I have a trial version of Photoshop CS 5 and photomerge works well in this version.
I tried to solve the problem through Windows but it didn't work.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi @inetdude
Since there is no full feature software and driver for 8 or 8.1, I am not sure what else to suggest other than for you to reach out to Microsoft. The driver you are using is an in-OS driver, perhaps they can help you.
