Photoshop with occasional GPU driver problem

Dear all,
Sometimes when I start photoshop, I get a message saying: "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
I have the latest graphics drivers installed, but this message does not always occur when I start Photoshop although the driver does not change. So, I guess there might be some other reason causing this error message.
I am running Photoshop on a Thinkpad with Windows XP Professional.
Regards,
WM

What is the level of OGL implemented by your card? Adobe has an OGL compatability app that ships with AE. Hopefully yours is 2.1 or later. If not, then get a new card. A new driver will not help. If you are really lucky, then there is a flash ROM update for the card to up-rev the OGL, but that is very rare.
As a side note: I am not sure how this myth gat started, but PS actually puts very little strain on GPU acceleration compared to visualization, CAD and compositing apps. It is a minor issue compared to other offerings in the CS4 family (PP and AE come to mind).
The Engineering team knows there are issues with their use of OGL. They are working hard to get a solution in the hands of folks quickly.
The first recommendation is to disable all "advanced OGL settings" and see how you do.

Powerbook G4 12" 867mhz with dvd/cd drive problems - please help!

Hello all,
Just realized this thread should have been in this section. I put it in the using your powerbook section. Sorry for the double post. I just wanted it to be in the right section.
I have just inherited a powerbook g4 from a family member who is upgrading to a new machine. It has dvd/cd drive problems. I'm totally new to OSX and a notebook machine and need some assistance. I've been briefly scanning the forums here and noticed problems with these drives on the model computer. Is there a way to fix this with an install of older software? Here is the problem, if I insert a cd into the super drive it mounts on the desktop, and itunes will play it but it skips and sounds very distorted. I haven't tried a dvd but was told it doesn't even see the dvds on the desktop. Here are the know specs on the machine:
867mhz
640 mb ram
mac os x 10.5.1
boot rom version 4.5.5f4
the burner info: matshita dvd r uj-015
firmware version: docb
Thanks in advance!

Good Morning Mac,
According to your posted specs for the 12" G4PB you have the bare minimum requirements for Leopard. Even Tiger (10.4.11) should have 1GB RAM for decent performance (see my signature specs).
An easily installed 1GB RAM stick can be obtained at either of these reliable vendors:
http://eshop.macsales.com/ or http://www.crucial.com/
However, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Try the following in this order:
Repair Disk Permissions with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair DP, then do the following:
Run Repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk ........
Insert disk and re-start holding down the 'C' key until you see the spinning gear.
At Installer level...... DO NOT CONTINUE
At top left, use 'Utilities' Menu for Tiger or later and go 'Disk Utility'
Select your HD volume with Operating system on...
Select First Aid tab then select Repair Hard Disk button
If "RED" errors are repaired, run again, until none are reported then +run again+ just to be sure you are OK
Do NOT continue with the Installer... QUIT the Installer and return to the Finder ......... Eject the Disc
RESTART ..... Repair Disk Permissions .... AGAIN!
Try the above stuff first .... if that doesn't help, we will get into the "RESETS" steps next!

Photoshop Elements 9 Printer Driver Problems with Canon MP600 printer

I'm having problems using my Canon MP600 printer with Photoshop Elements 9 with regard to the paper allocation. The MP600 has 2 paper trays and for some reason when using Elements it prefers you to use the top loading (auto sheet feeder) method all the time. For space reasons I need to use the bottom cassette. When you initially go into the settings for the printer within elements you can choose the cassette and paper type etc no problem and make a print. When you go back in to do another print it changes the setting back to auto sheet feeder so you have to change it back again which is winding me up! I have got the latest drivers for the printer and they are set up to how I would like the printer to work but Elements changes some of those settings for some reason. Does anyone know a way of fixing this please ?? When I'm not in Photoshop if I go to print something from the web it performs perfectly so I can only assume its Elements thats changing the settings.
Also when I print small thumbnail sized pictures on an A4 sheet of paper to test what the photo colour will look like when I go back into the print menu it puts the thumnail picture back in the center of the sheet of A4 rather than leaving it where it was, so then you have to put in the top and sideways measurements again to carry on ! The last version of Photoshop I had never did that. Does anyone know had to solve that problem ?? Any thoughts on the above problems would be gratefully recieved !

Thank you for your suggestions. I downloaded a more recent version of Twain, but this didn't help. I also tried closing and opening Photo Shop and restarting my computer without success. Reinstalling Photo Shop sounds like a very promising solution, but I'm not sure I will do it. In the meantime I can scan items using a printer program. These scans open in Photo Shop. It is an extra step.

Is this a JOGL bug with GLJPanel, a driver problem, or what?

I've been trying to eliminate a problem I've been experiencing with my WorldWind Java (WWJ) application and I think I've finally taken a step torward finding the root cause, but I'm not sure whose problem it is yet or who to report it to, so I thought I'd start here and work my way up; if it can't get solved here, maybe it's a driver issue.
The issue goes something like this:
(Note: this only occurs when the -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true flag is set.)
I have a GLJPanel on my primary display that works beautifully. I drag that panel onto my secondary display (slowly) and it disappears. Poof. If I position the panel halfway between screens, I can get about half of the panel to render on the secondary display, but any further than that and it disappears. I tried this on a Frame and with a GLCanvas as well and got different results: in a Frame, if I dragged the Panel over and then dragged it back into the primary display, it would disappear on the secondary display, but reappear on the primary display once it was dragged back. With the GLCanvas, I didn't have any issues.
It's fairly simple to recreate this on my computer by using a WorldWind example that extends ApplicationTemplate and just adjusting ApplicationTemplate to use WWGLJPanels.
However, I went so far as to reproduce the problem with a plain old GLJPanel:
import com.sun.opengl.util.Animator;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.media.opengl.GL;
import javax.media.opengl.GLAutoDrawable;
import javax.media.opengl.GLJPanel;
import javax.media.opengl.GLCapabilities;
import javax.media.opengl.GLEventListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class TrianglePanel extends JFrame implements GLEventListener {
    public TrianglePanel() {
        super("Triangle");
        setLayout(new GridLayout());
        setSize(300, 300);
        setLocation(10, 10);
        setVisible(true);
        initTriangle();
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        TrianglePanel tPanel = new TrianglePanel();
        tPanel.setVisible(true);
        tPanel.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    private void initTriangle(){
        GLCapabilities caps = new GLCapabilities();
        caps.setDoubleBuffered(true);
        caps.setHardwareAccelerated(true);
        GLJPanel panel = new GLJPanel(caps);
        panel.addGLEventListener(this);
        add(panel);
        Animator anim = new Animator(panel);
        anim.start();
    public void init(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
        GL gl = drawable.getGL();
        gl.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 0);
        gl.glMatrixMode(GL.GL_PROJECTION);
        gl.glLoadIdentity();
        gl.glOrtho(0, 1, 0, 1, -1, 1);
    public void display(GLAutoDrawable drawable) {
        GL gl = drawable.getGL();
        gl.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT);
        gl.glBegin(GL.GL_TRIANGLES);
        gl.glColor3f(1, 0, 0);
        gl.glVertex3f(0.0f, 0.0f, 0);
        gl.glColor3f(0, 1, 0);
        gl.glVertex3f(1.0f, 0.0f, 0);
        gl.glColor3f(0, 0, 1);
        gl.glVertex3f(0.0f, 1.0f, 0);
        gl.glEnd();
        gl.glFlush();
    public void reshape(GLAutoDrawable drawable, int x, int y, int width, int height) {}
    public void displayChanged(GLAutoDrawable drawable, boolean modeChanged, boolean deviceChanged) {}
}If it helps, the video card I'm using is a Quadro NVS 140M.

Totally fed up with external hard drive problem

I purchased a 500 gb USB Mybook drive a week ago, and all it did was freeze up my mac. So everyone said to get a firewire one instead. So i got the firewire version, and it does the same thing. Immediately when it's plugged in, I get the spinning disk forever.
If I start up with it plugged in, after the login, it freezes. I called their tech support, and they have no idea either. Wonderful. I've tried every fire wire and usb port on the mac, with no discernable results.
Please help before I throw it through a window!

Not far from you is a dealer in Mac Firewire hard drives which should work. http://www.macsales.com/
If those don't work, then you know you have a hardware problem. Your machine may be old enough to have its clock battery replaced which can affect the ability of access to the ports. The clock battery is a 3.6V 1/2 AA lithium you can get from Radio Shack as catalog item 23-026.
If after making sure you have a current clock battery (one under 3 years old), it still doesn't work, try zapping the PRAM:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
And resetting the Firewire ports:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88338
And if you are still stuck, it suggests a truly bad hardware problem, most likely in the power supply or logicboard controller.

Nano with windows USB Driver problem?

Everything worked fine with my nano for a few days.
I've gone through all the troubleshooting tips for the nano itself. (3 Rs, etc).
Latest,I have deleted the USB device and reboot the computer. Windows recognizes new hardware found and tries to install the driver for it.
I get the following error:
Error: The initialization failed because a function driver was not specified for this device instance.
Seem to me to be a problem with the Ipod Nano software since windows is recognizing it. I have used other usb devices with this port in the past though I am not using any with it currently.

Taking it back for an exchange is probably your best bet then, but there is one more thing you might try first. Some people have found that by putting the iPod in disk mode, it keeps the USB port alive and lets it charge. It doesn't sound quite like your situation, but it migh be worth a try. Or, you could even take it to a different computer and plug it in there for three or four hours to see if it will take a charge. You don't need iTunes on that computer. But if those don't work, then the exchange is probably your best bet at this point.

Qosmio X300-13W GPU Driver PROBLEMS

Hi all,
I'v just brought my new "Qosmio X300-13W" and the Tempro Alerts say that I need to update my GPU drivers.
I go to the link provided by Toshiba that directs me to Nvidea driver downloads. The driver is "179.28_notebook_winvista_32bit_beta" yet when I try and instal the driver I am told-
(The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatable with your current hardware. Setup will now exit).
I have even tried Uninstalling the drivers first before updating and still no Success, BIOS has also been updated.
Is it possible the GPU firmware needs to be updated ??
I'm not a NOOB with PCs and build and repair on a professional level but am still stuck.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP

> " and the Tempro Alerts say that I need to update my GPU drivers.
You misunderstood something.
The Tempro doesnt say you have to update the driver but it has notified you that a new version has been uploaded to the driver page!
But this does not mean that you have to update it!!!
Furthermore I visited the Toshiba European driver page and have chosen this driver posted in the Qosmio X300 PQX31E and found this info:
+You are leaving the Toshiba Website to get the generic beta driver from nVidia.+
+This driver has not been officially approved by Toshiba and is out of Toshiba warranty.+
If you want to install such driver then you can do this only at your own risk and you could install it in device manger;
There you have to choose advanced installation and finally have to point to the place where the driver has been stored on the HDD

Recovering Rescue and Recovery data from a T61p with the GPU failure problem

My t61p has the GPU (1 long 2 short beeps) problem described in another thread. Apart from getting the laptop fixed, which will take several weeks, I have a more pressing problem getting my data back from this laptop.
I have been using Lenovo Rescue and Recovery religiously for the last two years to create monthly incremental backups on a USB drive. While I am trying to get my laptop repaired, I would like to at least recover my files from the backup and start working on a different machine.
I was told by Lenovo support that the only way to get to the data is to connect the drive to another T61p, running the exact same version of Rescue and Recovery I had on my original T61p. For one, I have to idea what version of R&R I had on my laptop. Secondly, I am in no position to get another T61p just to recover the data.
I would have thought that there would be a version of R&R that I could run on any Windows machine, and recover the data, but apparently that's not so.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can recover my data?
Thanks.

Hi,
the basic and most importatnt information, in this case is, that RnR can detect/read backups that have been captured using the very same version as you are using right now.
So in case you captured your backup using version xx.xx.xxx1 you cannot restore, or recover your backup using the version xx.xx.xxx2. You need to us the very same version.
As Win7 uses different version of RnR, this is the root cause.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Need help with cd/dvd drive problem.

I have a MacBook (black) running OS 10.6.8. The internal cd/dvd drive no longer works. I put in a disk and it gets pushed back out after a few seconds.
I just bought a LG Ultra Slim Portable DVD Writer model GP 60NB50. The MacBook recognizes the LG drive for opening music and movies, and for burning photos to a disk.
I have been unable to use the LG drive as a start-up drive. I put Disk Warrior into the drive and restarted the computer holding down the “C” key. When the computer starts to launch there is a flash of a “?” on the screen then it loads from the hard disk. I also tried using the Apple start up disk that came with the computer but that also failed.
Any idea how I can get the LG drive to become a start-up drive when needed?
Thanks,
Orin

If your computer is a TouchSmart, and I am only guessing that it is, this document might help.

Satellite M60-164 with Major Hard Drive problems

It started about 3 months ago. Each time the computer started, it would get a certain distance and then the BSOD would turn up and immediately disappear and the computer would restart. Yesterday I discovered the F8 trick to make the BSOD stick around for a while. It turns out the problem was an "Unmountable Boot Volume". I inserted my Windows CD, and ran the repair center thingydingy, and entered chkdsk /r. It said there seemed to be unrecoverable problems on the hard drive.
I bought the computer 2 years ago, and I think I only have a 1 year warranty.
What are my options?
Thanks,
Luke

Looks a little bit like an HDD fault!
Did you try to install the OS again on the HDD?
Check if this is possible
After the OS installation you could try to run some HDD repair tools like for example the HDD Regenerator.

If this does not help check if the HDD replacement helps you to solve this problem!

Need advice with internal DVD Drive

Hello, my dvd drive reads CD's but not DVD's (Movie or Data). It makes a clicking sound then ejects the DVD which made me think it was a hardware failure, but when I put in a CD,it is fine. I've deleted the dvd.plist and ran permmission fixer. Any ideas, or should I just get a new drive.

Go here and scream at Apple for refusing to address this ongoing issue. Explain the issue(s) you are having. -
http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/
People keep starting new discussion threads on this same old problem. If you have the money to go out and spend around $20 (US) on a DVD lens cleaner, please post your result here.
I posted the following response yesterday in a similar thread:
I realize this isn't a forum for venting, but I'm really getting sick of this ongoing issue. Where is Apple in all of this? Read on, if you want to see how far back this goes.
I have an older G5, purchased in November 2003, with a Pioneer Stupordrive which exhibits the same awful behavior. I've been following these G5 Superdrive discussion threads for nearly a year, and I've tried most of the suggestions offered. None have worked for me, and it appears that there are a large number of Mac owners with similar DVD drive problems.
My Stupordrive used to mount and play ALL DVDs. That lasted for about 1-1/2 years from purchase. Now it plays some retail DVD movies, but not others. It burns DVDs just fine, but won't read them (see below). Sometimes it ejects them, other times it just sits there trying to mount with the "unfomatted floppy" sound until I manually eject via the eject key (takes two tries). I have used various brands for burning, including the over-priced DVD-R's (4x) from the Apple store. No problems with burning or reading CDs. I will try Verbatim, but seriously doubt it will make any difference. The worst part of this is that I have about 25Gb of unreachable DATA on DVDs.
This problem seems to be prevalent, and is independent of OS version, purchase date, or configuration. Before I go out and spend money (even $40) on a new drive, I want to be sure it will not behave the same way because of some fundamental flaw in the G5 architecture or the OS.
I have an ancient Micron PC that's six years old with its original DVD player. Guess what; it mounts and plays/reads every DVD I put in it, including those I burned on the Mac.
Can anyone suggest a drive that will work on the G5 and last for more than a year or so?

USB 3.0 port driver problem?

Hello, I have an Acer TimelineU M5-48-TG-6814 ultra book laptop. It has two USB 3.0 ports, but I recently discovered that there is something wrong with the drivers for them, because I can't use USB 3.0 devices at superspeed. I have plugged in 2 devices, and they both operate at USB 2.0 speed. In my device manager, I have several things under universal serial bus controllers: 4 entries for generic USB hub (I think that's my USB 2.0 hub)2 entries for Intel(R) 7 series/C216 chipset family USB enhanced host controller1 entry for Intel(R) USB 3.0 extensible host controller1 entry for Intel(R) USB 3.0 root hub2 entries for USB composite device2 entries for USB root hub I was having problems with my laptop, and recently reinstalled my operating system, with some resulting driver problems ( for some reason it didn't install with like any of the correct drivers, including the ethernet and Wi-Fi drivers, which were a pain in the ass to fix). This may be because the laptop originally came with Windows 7 home premium and I installed Windows 7 professional. But either way, I had to manually install lot of the drivers (I downloaded them from the Acer website), including the 2 entries for USB 3.0 drivers. Anyway, although these USB 3.0 drivers say they are functioning correctly, they aren't. When I plug in my USB 3.0 devices, I can see that they are using the USB 2.0 drivers (I downloaded some software to see this: USBlyzer). I tried disabling the 2 USB 2.0 drivers ( the ones that say enhanced), then plugged in my device and it acted like nothing was plugged in. Also, I'm a little bit confused as to why there is only one USB 3.0 host controller and root hub entry, because I have 2 ports. Anyone have any advice?

Oh also, my hard drive for this laptop failed earlier this year, and I replaced it with a new SSD (the original one was a hybrid). I'm pretty sure the USB 3.0 ports worked before that

Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver

I rummaged around in here looking at opengl topics and others associated with the above error, but I'm not seeing what I'm encountering (or I am and I don't recognize it!).....
I bought CS4 a week or so ago, and installed it on a system running XP32 with service pack 3, 4GB of ram withe the /3GB switch set, nVidia 8600 GT card (which according to the list is supported), and multiple spindles for images, scratch, applications, and so on. I found other topics earlier so I downloaded the most recent drivers for my video card.
I'm not crashing and burning, but I'm getting some messages...
I opened an image, and while working on it I wanted to do a transform/warp. I got the message that Photoshop couldn't perform the operation because there wasn't enough memory. It didn't crash but I had to shut down CS4 and restart it to do the warp.
Most recently I opened a couple images for a panorama, and while doing the merge I got the message that "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver and has temporarily disabled gpu enhancements." It tells me to check for the latest drivers - I've ALREADY got the lastest drivers. Again, no crash, just the warning. It completed the panorama.
There have been a couple other occurrences of messages of this type, so I'm curious if there's some set of preferences or system settting I need to adjust to optimize things? I've alrady adjusted the nVidia settings because I also run Lightroom and they're having problems too.
I've read the tech notes for the video and such and didn't find any set of optimizations there so is there a set of adjustments beyond the preferences that needs to be adjusted to improve memory and video performance? And if so, can someone point me to them.

As I understand it (suspect at best) XP32 can address 4 gig of memory. the /3gb switch lets the applications get at 3 gig of that. If my video card takes the first 256MB, and XP is guaranteed the other 750 of the 1st gig, and in the CS4 performance preferences I should be giving it from 1462 - 1895 MB (I've given it around 1890), that leaves me with another gig or so... Is that limited to applications or can XP use it? In any case, I'm not crashing, I just get the message every so often about being out of memory. I don't recall ever seeing this with CS3, but new version, new oddities...
