Problem CS6 unable to use CS5 as default program now

Windows 7-64 home
I installed the CS6 beta
I can not use CS6 to open files for 5diii ( I know this allready )
So i try to go back to CS5 to open th cr2 file, this is not as easy as it sounds,
1 go to Brige 5 open cr2 file goes to CS6 so it can not open
2 right click use open with, cant use there is no choice to open with CS5
3 go to file in windows explorer right click/open with/ browse/ choose CS5 and it still tries to open in CS6 ( which it wont as its a 5diii file )
4 Only way it will work is to open CS5 fist then use file/menu/open pick the file you want to open and it will open that way in CS5.
5 I Uninstalled CS6 beta for now untill there is support for 5diii.
cheers

I have similar (but not identical) problem with Mac version.
I have installed the CS6 Beta as a separate installation (I hoped).
Now when I start Bridge CS5 I can use the features of that version of Bridge until I attempt to open images to touchup in Camera Raw. When I double click an image it opens in Camera Raw 7, and any further editing seems to being done by PS 6. I have issues with Camera Raw 7 but I'll discuss those elsewhere.
To force Bridge CS5 to use Camera Raw 6 (the interface of which I prefer at this point), right click the image and choose "Open With..." choose Photoshop CS5 from the choices that pop up and the image will open in the earlier version of Camera Raw. Don't choose the right click option of "Open in Camera Raw..." That will open the image for editing in Camera Raw 7.
Perhaps all this works the same in Windows?

Hi, I have been using CS5 for a while now, but had to wipe my computer clean last night and now am unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer. Help please.

Hi, I have been using CS5 for a while now, but had to wipe my computer clean last night and now am unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer. Help please.

Can you describe more about what you summarize as "unable to re-install my adobe on the same computer." ? What actions do you take and what results? What messages do you get? Are you able to install it on a different computer?
Since you use the word "same", it might be a case that you do have another machine that the install is functional on. If so, or even if you installed a couple of times on the same machine, it might be a case where your activation allowance has been used up and you need to have them reset. If you contact Adobe Support thru chat you can ask them to reset your activations so that you have the two allotted to you available again.

Microsoft Office is not a free program, you have to purchase it.
Some new PCs may have Office as a free trial, but when the trial is over, you will need to purchase it.

I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again. Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes". I am unsure how to do this. I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

Hi,
Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again. Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes. On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again. This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod. Please help.

Windows platform, cannot use several of Suite programs now as they are coming up as trial versions since I started using Cloud..sure this is not a new topic, but not much Adobe support. Appreciative of help.

CS 6 Design and Web premium individual programs (not in use for some time) are now launching as trial versions since the advent of Adobe Cloud. Windows platform. I am sure I am one of about a million people with this issue, but having trouble getting specific suppport, no telephone numbers and installing this suite of programs was a nightmare....appreciative of any help today!

Thank you for your time and patience today. Your link for support takes me to Adobe Support Help "Hell" which is nothing more than a circular loop of links that do not address this situation. It is not a CS6 issue; it is not a specific software issue, none of the links address this situation which is an ADOBE issue...created by the Adobe Cloud process, not by me.
The "serial number is not valid" link I have already explored and their wonderful solutions do not apply and their suggestion to reinstall my software is the ABSOLUTELY LAST THING THE WORLD I will ever do after my initial experience with the original post-antipiracy measures installation. I understand antipiracy actions, but Adobe's response is out of control and not working for those of us who have honestly purchased the software. I did not create this issue, Adobe did. They should provide a telephone number with a live body to fix this issue for those of us affected. BTW I have been trying to resolve this on my own for one week before I even posted in this forum. Again I appreciate your responses, but they are not resolving my issue.

Photoshop CS6 unable to use due to display driver (Intel) problem

Hi
I am experiencing problems using Photoshop CS6 (not extended version). I have recently installed Design standard and I'm not having this problem with Illustrator.
Each time I run PS, I receive a pop up with "display driver Intel HD graphics drivers for Windows 8(R) stopped responding and has successfully been recovered". PS opens but I cannot use it and I have to force end task in task manager.
I have an Asus Laptop (i7) with Windows 8.1, graphics card Intel HD 4400, it also has an NVIDA Geoforce GT 740M graphic card.
so far:
I have installed the latest driver from Intel (10.18.10.3345).
I have re-booted in Safe Mode and can open PS - I receive the message "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled enhancements which use the graphics hardware". I can use PS in safe mode. I then re-boot and can use PS normally, however after another re-boot or awakening from sleep the problem reappears.
I have tried switching to 'Basic' or "Normal' in the advanced settings. The problem occurs again.
I connect this laptop by VGA to an external Dell monitor, however it does not just happen when connected to the external.
Any help in resolving this would be very much appreciated!
Here is my help>system info log (retrieved when in safe mode after the warning message) :

thanks for your reply.
This is because PS turned off the GPU when I opened it in safe mode.
When I can access PS normally, both cards are recognised:

is uninstalling the graphics card the only fix for this? I'm reluctant to try this, and cause more problems..

Did you pinch with 5 fingers?

Premiere cs6 won't load cs5 file

This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview presetfile or codec could be associated with this sequence type.
The project was created in CS5. I get this messge again, again, and again, even after CS6 DID work once. CS6 is supposed to load CS5-created premiere project and sometimes converts it, etc. Then won't load the converted project!!!!!
I am using creative cloud.
What is going on?

Jim, Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is indeed a missing codec, viz. intra100. There is a related problem that Adobe apparently has not solved: A/c to a technician. CS5 overwrites CS6 files and vice-versa (in creative cloud anyway). So, I am constantly having to re-activate CS6 because of using CS5 for things like markers.
The tech said they would be working on it (two or three months ago). Have you heard anything on this issue?
I am wondering if there is any simple way just to copy this particular coded for the moment.
Thanks again.

"Open with" or "choose default program ..." Context menu broken.

Hi,
I have what appears to be a Context menu handler issue with my Windows 7 Home Premium - 64Bit.
I just discovered that if I right-click a file ( .txt , .avi , etc), and attempt to use "Open With", I do get a previously used list of programs to select from in the drop down list that appears. However, if I then select the "choose default program ..." dialog box, to find an alternative program to use, I keep ending up with the error message:
"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default programs control panel ."
I tried re-booting without success. Looked at system restore and (STUPIDLY), I only had 2 very recent restore points to go back to, (I've since increased the restore storage allowance for the drives). Restore doesn't take me back to a usable state for this issue.
The default file types doesn't seem to be the problem, as all my files do have default programs associated with them. I can even select one of the alternatives from the right-click pop-up option menu, and the file open appropriately. I can also open and use the Default Program application via Control Panel.
The error message comes up as soon as I click on "choose default program...", from the bottom of the pop-up menu. It's as though that dialog isn't associated with the "Open with'' application anymore.
When I can get to the "Open with" application through other means, ..... the "Always use...." is greyed out, so it becomes a permanent selection / rather than temporary. I know I can sort a work-around out to re-select a default program, in a round-about way, ... but I'd just love to sort whatever has gone wrong with the right click context menu.
Whilst browsing around, I came accross this (but for Windows XP):
Clicking the "Open With" or "Choose Program..." option always opens the file with Notepad?
Note the second suggested error message. It's almost exactly what I'm getting in Win 7.
XP: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel."
Win 7 (my error message): "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the default programs controll panel."
Might I be on the right track, by any chance? Could this Registry key have become corrupted? Here's what I found...........
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command
Then double clicked default, and here is the value data for (Default):
%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1
If it's not this key, then I feel sure it's a Context menu handler that's become corrupted, for "Open with'' somewhere. I'm hoping someone might point me in the right direction. I'm reasonably confident in backing up / exporting and saving Registry keys - just not knowledgeable enough to know where to root around and know what should or shouldn't be there.
Apologies if this ends up in the wrong forum.
Any help much appreciated thanks.
:O)

I had the same issue and the problem was one missing registry key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\opendlg\command
opendlg instead of openas
The default value is
%SystemRoot%\system32\rundll32.exe %SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL %1
I exported the value from a pc that was working fine with the same system Windows 7 64 ultimate and this is the registry file that I exported from the pc witouth the problem and imported in the pc with the problem to solve the problem:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Mac reverts default programs constanly

Hi,
I have recently updated to Mac OSx 10.5.2. Everything appeared to go smooth. However now I encountered 2 problems. Every time my mac startup all my file associations are reverted back to standard. Firefox will ask me if I want to use it as default programs, .dmg file want to open with Hex edit. I change everything back system wide but as soon as I restart everything is standard again.
Also my mac was slowly rebuilding it's desktop every time it booted. This went away after I ran repair disk authorization in the disk utility tool. I hopes this would also solve my other problem but it did not.
Please advise,
Thank you,
Daniel

OK so here is what I figured out. Don't know why it works this way, but I stumbled on it.
If the file was not open in any program, and I tried changing the default program to open it, it would not let me change the file type to open with.
But what I noticed is if I had the file open with the program that I wanted to use as the default, then magically, it would let me change the default program, in this case, to Open Office. I don't know why it behaves this way, I can just tell you it does. So after opening the program in Open Office, I was able to select Open Office as the default program, and then checked the "All" button to open all programs of this extension with OO as the default program. It worked like a charm.
I don't konw if this is unique behavior in the latest version of IOS (10.8), but it works just in case others are running into this issue.
Thanks for the responses.

ITunes is no longer listed in Default Programs in Vista

After accepting the latest update to iTunes (7.6.029) + QuickTime this afternoon, there are several registry keys associated with iTunes and QuickTime that no longer have the appropriate permissions set which I believe is the main reason why iTunes is no longer listed in Default Programs in Vista. It also constantly alerts me that it's not the default player for audio files and if I'd like to go to Default Programs control panel to fix it. If I say yes, I get a blank screen in the details because it's trying to point to the properties of the once-listed iTunes in the Default Programs screen. I know I can disable the notification, but it's just evident of larger issues with the software.
Anyone else experience this with a fix? I've seen many, many posts when Googling this problem about the Default Programs in Vista not listing iTunes, other problems associated with registry keys for iTunes and QuickTime that aren't editable, etc.
I actually discovered this after the update when one of my sidebar gadgets would no longer launch iTunes. I performed a system restore to this morning before the update and most everything worked again. However, I had to reinstall iTunes because it warned me that it couldn't launch because some of the necessary files were missing. After reinstalling it, the sidebar tool was able to launch it again but the tool isn't listed in Default Programs now with some of the registry keys locked. I can unlock them and adjust the permissions but there are 50+ entries and their child keys that all would need to be unlocked.
It would be nice to have this problem resolved. I'm concerned about future upgrades as I've seen other users mention this problem in 7.4 and 7.1.

I have the same exact problem and same exact symptoms. I tried uninstalling and re-installing and no luck. Did you ever find a solution?

How do I choose the program that I want Leopard to use for the default program when I double-click to open a pdf document?
