Problem Upgrading Photoshop 5.0 to CS1

I have been using Photoshop Elements 6 for a few years now. Recently, I decided to upgrade to Photoshop CS (yes, the first one). However, I found out I needed a version of Photoshop, not Elements if I wanted to do this. So I purchases Photoshop 5.0 off ebay and have since filled out all the license transfer papers.
I also purchased, new in box, Adobe Photoshop CS upgrade. After some confusion installing Photoshop 5.0 (It seems I needed to install Mac Classic on my laptop here before I could install such an old program), I've finally got it installed. Now however, when I put in the CS disc to get that installed, I can't install it. I open up the installation file off the disc, I enter my admin password, and then it says "Authenticating Installer, Please Wait...". It shows that text in a grey bar then ends there. The "Photoshop CS Installer" icon on the Dock also shuts down.
I spent the last day or so looking around the net and I haven't found anyone else with this exact problem. I found similar problems and tried their remedies, I made sure my clock is set to the right time, I reset the computer a few times, and I've even tried clearing all my internet cookies and cache. No luck. I can't install a program I just paid 300 dollars for and Adobe support won't be back till monday and I need to get this program up and running ASAP. Can anyone help me?
I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 on an IBook G4. 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4. 512 MB memory.
I grew up with PC's and don't know enough about Macs to figure this out. If you need any more info just ask. Thank you very much in advance!

Oh. I didn't mean to say that you're lying. I didn't mean it like that. I was just curious if that was indeed the right issue here. Like I said, I did a few hours of searching myself before asking here and I didn't find many other with a similar problem and thus I wanted to make sure that was the correct answer. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hint that you guys don't know what you're talking about. I've been on forums in the past, both asking for help and giving it, and sometimes people can misread a problem and give an answer that doesn't apply.
I won't be able to fax anything in until Monday as I don't have a fax machine at my home. And yeah, I know I'm skipping a few upgrades here. Any dollar I can save is a great thing to have, and this was the least expensive route to getting a decent photo editing program (that I know of). Thank you again guys for your time, if I cannot resolve this issue on monday I'll update this thread.

  • Problems with Photoshop CS5.1

    Hello everyone, I'm having some problems with Photoshop, it simply doesn't work as it should. When trying to resize the brush, the cursor changes shape and if I click, it won't, for example, paint where the cursor is pointing at, but about two inches diagonally. Then, the liquify tool freezes and I have to zoom in/out in order to make it work again, the brush disappears when changing the size, and again the cursor changes into something else and doesn't make any adjustment to where it's pointing at, but to a lower section. It's annoying to keep working like this! According to the update manager, everything is up to date. My current OS is Lion 10.7.2. Does anybody know how to fix this or at least why it is happening? I asked in the Adobe forums and I was told that it was Apple's fault (obvious response haha), and that a software update should come up to fix this driver problem or something. I'm not sure of what this is but I can't work like this. Thank you in advance.

    What it means is Adobe is feverishly working on a solution.  Apple has no control over Adobe's products.  They may make spec changes to allow for better support of other data formats, and the GUI, and security of the operating system, and Adobe is always in the loop on http://developer.apple.com/  If they can't make Lion work with their software, it is partly due to the immense size of their software and not being able to modify such software without significant error checking, and partly due to possible changes that Apple may have made.  One should never upgrade a production environment until one knows all one's software is compatible for all one's needs.  Having a test machine, or a test hard drive to see if an upgrade works is probably best until migrating an entire environment to a new system.  And always backup your data prior to upgrading.  A clone backup offers the quickest recovery time.  Carbon Copy Cloner is a great solution for external hard drives, and so is Superduper.

  • PSE 7 Editing Problem using Photoshop CS4

    I recently upgraded to PSE 7 and am totally confounded by a recurring problem using Photoshop CS4 as my editor for photos from PSE 7.  When I enter Ctrl + H, Adobe Photoshop CS4 opens the photo just fine and I am able to edit without any issues.  When I am done editing, I save the file, close Photoshop (or close the file) and the photo is immeditealy deleted from the directory even though it was just saved in the directory.
    I recently re-installed Windows XP, PSE 7, and Photoshop CS4, and the problem continues.  Any help or suggestions?  I really prefer to use the Photoshop CS4 editor.

    Thanks for the response.  However, I don't believe the article you you referred to actually refers to the problem I'm having.  It seeems more specific to thumbnails from .PSD files created in CS4.
    However, the work-around you mentioned is a possibility for me as well.  However, instead of overwriting the original, I can also save the edited file to another directory and copy it back to he directory once I exit PSE.  This gets to be a REAL PAIN, though, when you're editing several photos at a sitting.
    Thanks, again, for the suggestion.

  • Problems with Photoshop CS4

    Hello everyone
    I installed windows 7 64 bit and photosop cs4 32 and 64 bits.
    For plugins I use photoshop 32 bit as in 64 does not recognize.
    When working with photoshop 32-bit, or by applying a similar effect on photoshop I "refresh" the screen, I have to give it a click above to update the action taken, which does not happen with the 64-bit . previously when I had windows XP 32 bit, something similar is happening but unlike in Windows 7 is became more confusing to work
    Looking at other forums I found that others feel the same.
    I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 7, but can not get photoshop to work properly.The refresh of the windows is horrible, it gives many hitches, even small images at 72 dpi. It's pretty desperate
    I have a similar problem with Photoshop CS4, Windows 7 and the Gforce 9800 GTX version 196.21
    The problem is that whenever I do a process, I have to click on the screen to react, is quite annoying if you retouch photos, anyone know where the problem may lie?
    Example of my problem
    I apply an effect to an image flash
    Notice how after applying it, as is the browser and thumbnail in the layer and I obviously still displays the result on the image.
    After giving up a click:
    I shows the effect applied, but the display remains the same, as in the layer.
    If I want to leave the viewer have to make the preview zoom.
    As you will see work like this is very annoying and stressful. Any help?

    Did you update PS CS4 to 11.0.1? If not update before turning off opengl or updating Nvidia drivers.
    There are also new nvidia drivers out 197.13. However, newer does not always equal better.

  • Upgrade Photoshop CS3 to Photoshop CS5 Extended

    I recently purchased Adobe Photshop CS5 Extended upgrade for Windows, thinking I have no problem upgrading to this version. I did not realize it wasn't compatible with Photoshop CS3 until I tried to install it today. Is there anyway I can install the upgrade without having to purchase a new program?

    There should be no issue regarding compatibility between the two versions... they are functionally independent of each other.  There might be a compatibility issue with your computer operating system if anything, in which case it is less likely a newer version is going to work any better.  Maybe you misworded the description of your problem?

  • Option to Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog not available (LR5, PSE 12, Win 8)

    Hi there. I have trial versions of both Photoshop Elements 12 and Lightroom 5.2 (trial licenses are both still active (i.e. not expired)). I'm looking to import my PSE12 catalog into Lightroom before I plunk down the money to buy it.
    I cannot, however, locate the "File->Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog" option in LR5.
    I may have originally installed LR 5 before installing PSE 12. So I uninstalled LR5 and reinstalled it. Still no luck - the option isn't there.
    Any other ways to force LR5 to look for the PSE 12 catalog? Will LR5 even recognize a PSE12 catalog?
    Your help is greatly appreciated - thanks!
    Note: Using Win 8.1

    ...But we can also wait and see report from other users.
    Unfortunately, there is no doubt that the conversion of PSE12 catalogs has been omitted. It's not the first time : I also had to wait for LR4 to be able to convert PSE11 files. We may hope that Adobe will acknowledge the fact, and possibly solve the problem for future versions of PSE.
    Of course, it's not a priority for Adobe: the ability to convert PSE catalogs is mainly a sales argument to make the jump from the PSE Organizer to LR easier. Not so many cases, and anyway you can always write metadata to files in PSE and import later in LR. After the jump to LR, you rarely have more PSE catalogs to convert.
    However, maintaining misleading update notes by Adobe is not a good point in favour of LR. I do consider that the ability for LR to convert PSE catalog was and still is a very smart demonstration of the ability to deal with database organizational systems. I also consider that once that conversion process is mastered, the update process for each new Elements version is not such a big deal.

  • Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog option is missing

    The File Menu/Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog is missing on my version of LR5.  I've followed the suggested procedure to update the preferences files for both Elements 12 and Lightroom 5, but LR5 still does not recognize that I have an existing Elements 12 catalog.  I assume if it did the option would now be available?
    This was the instruction I tried:

  • 'Upgrade Photoshop Elements catalog' menu item missing

    Hi,
    I have been using PSE for many years and recently upgraded to PSE8 (and PRE8). In addition, I started playing with the LR3 Beta and realized that I wanted to migrate LR from PSE. I just bought LR3 and now want to import my PSE8 catalog into LR3. The Lightroom Help tells me that I should go to File - Upgrade Photoshop Elements Catalog (while in Library module), but this menu item is not showing up in my Lightroom... Is my LR3 not detecting my PSE8 catalog installation? How can I fix this?
    Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

  • Upgrading Photoshop CS6 using the cloud.

    Every time I try to upgrade Photoshop CS6 with the cloud I get error U44MIP7. Then after a few weeks it upgrades ok. Any ideas? I don't think Adobe is really ready to prime time on the cloud yet.

    It appears the 13.0.1.2 update is the problem.
    Here is a summary of the fix:
    1) UNinstall Photoshop (no need to uninstall anything else in CS6)
    2) Reboot your computer (just to make sure nothing is hanging around in memory)
    3) Install Photoshop and immediately quit the Creative Cloud app
    4) Run photoshop
    5) Go to HELP > UPDATES
    6) EXPAND the update group and UNselect the 13.0.1.2 update
    7) Apply the 13.1.2 update

  • Troubleshoot installation problems in Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista

    This document can help you to resolve system errors that occur while you use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on Windows Vista. System errors can manifest in many different ways, including (but not limited to) the following:
    A blank or flickering dialog box
    A frozen cursor or screen
    A blue screen
    An unexpected restart
    An error message such as:
    "Setup is unable to load the installation script file."
    "Unable to create a directory under C:\Windows\System. Please check write-access to the directory."
    "Uninstalling: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom refers to a location that is unavailable. It could be on a hard drive on this computer, or on a network. Check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are connected to the Internet or your network, and then try again. If it still cannot be located, the information might have been moved to a different location."
    Note: If you attempt to install Photoshop Lightroom to a drive that doesn't have the minimum required space available, the installation will fail. You must then completely reinstall to another location that has sufficient free space.
    Many different factors can cause system errors, including conflicts among device drivers, applications, operating system settings, hardware, and corrupt elements in specific files. Although a system error may occur only when you work with Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Lightroom may not necessarily be the cause; it may be the only application that uses enough memory or processor cycles to expose the problem.
    To benefit most from this document, perform the tasks in order. Keep track of the tasks that you perform and the results of each, including errors and other problems. Adobe Technical Support can use this information to better assist you if you need to call.
    You must be logged on as an administrator to perform some of the procedures in this document.
    Important: Some of the procedures in this document may initiate a User Access Control dialog that asks for your permission to continue. Read the details in the dialog to determine if you want to continue. If you choose to cancel the dialog, then you will not be able to continue with that troubleshooting step.
    The steps in this document that refer to the Control Panel are in reference to the Classic view. For information on switching the Control Panel to the Classic view and many other common OS procedures, see Common Microsoft Windows Vista procedures (TechNote kb401275)
    Some of these procedures require you to locate hidden files and hidden folders. Some procedures require you to locate files by their full file names, which include extensions (for example, example_filename.ini). By default, Windows Explorer doesn't show hidden files, hidden folders, and file name extensions that it recognizes.
    To show hidden files, hidden folders, and all file name extensions in Windows Explorer:
    In Windows Explorer, choose Organize > Folder And Search Options.
    Click the View tab in the Folder Options dialog box.
    In Advanced Settings, select Show Hidden Files And Folders.
    Deselect Hide Extensions For Known File Types.
    Click OK.
    Note: The procedures in this document are based on the default interface of Windows Vista. If the interface is customized, some procedures may vary. For example, a commonly encountered difference is the navigation to Control Panel from the Start menu: You may navigate Start > Settings > Control Panel instead of Start > Control Panel. Additionally, the procedures in this document assume you are using the Classic View of the Control Panel: To view the Control Panel in the Classic View, click Switch To Classic View on the Control Panel navigation bar on the left side of the window.
    Beginning troubleshooting
    The tasks in this section can help you resolve the most common system errors. Before performing any of these tasks, back up all personal files (for example, Photoshop Lightroom files you created). Always restart the computer after a system error occurs to refresh system memory. Continuing to work without restarting the computer may compound the problem.
    1.Make sure that the system meets the minimum requirements for PhotoshopLightroom.
    Photoshop Lightroom may not run correctly on a system that doesn't meet the following requirements:
    Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
    Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7
    768 MB of RAM (1 GB recommended)
    1 GB of available hard-disk space
    CD-ROM drive
    In addition to these requirements, a video card that supports 24-bit (16 million) or more colors, and a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher, is recommended.
    * Photoshop Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until Adobe fully certifies Photoshop Lightroom for use on Windows Vista.
    To check basic system information, such as processor speed and how much RAM is installed, choose Start > Control Panel > System.
    2. Delete previously installed application files, especially if you had the public beta version of Photoshop Lightroom installed.
    To delete files from a previous Adobe Photoshop Lightroom installation attempt:
    Choose Start > Control Panels > Add or Remove Programs.
    Select Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and choose to remove it.
    Close the Add Or Remove Programs window and the Control Panel.
    Open Windows Explorer.
    If the Lightroom.exe file is still in the Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder, delete it.
    If the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file is still in the Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder, delete it.
    Empty the Recycle Bin.
    Try to reinstall. If you cannot, continue with the next two sections in this step:
    Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Presets. These are the presets that were installed with the application and that you created.
    Move all the folders under the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom/Lightroom Previews.lrdata folder into a new folder on the desktop; name the folder Lightroom Previews. If you have a large number of images, you can move this folder back to its original location before you open Photoshop Lightroom, once it's installed. Or you can delete this folders to re-create it when Photoshop Lightroom opens. If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, it might be due to corruption in the previews, in which case you need to delete this folder and re-create it.
    Try to reinstall.Important: Do not delete the Lightroom Database.lrdb file!
    If there are further problems with Photoshop Lightroom after it's installed, these issues may be due to corruption in the preset files you created, in which case you need to remove them and re-create them, or test each preset individually.
    Note: If you can reinstall, and if this is not the first time you opened Photoshop Lightroom, then Photoshop Lightroom will look for a library database file. If it does not find a library in the expected location, it will prompt you to create a new library, locate the library, or exit. Exit will close the dialog box, and Photoshop Lightroom will not open. Although you can tell Photoshop Lightroom to locate your library, it's best to put it back in the default location and then open the application.
    If you can reinstall, close Photoshop Lightroom and then copy any presets you created from the Lightroom presets on the desktop back into the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom folder.
    If you cannot reinstall, then move the Lightroom Database.lrdb file from the Users/[username]/Pictures/Lightroom folder into a new folder called Lightroom Database File and save this file on the desktop. This is your database, if you previously had Photoshop Lightroom installed.
    Reinstall Photoshop Lightroom. If you cannot reinstall, continue with the next task in this document.
    3. Log in as Administrator before installingPhotoshopLightroom.
    In Windows Vista, you must be logged in with local (that is, machine) Administrator rights to install Photoshop Lightroom. If you don't have administrator rights, contact your system administrator for assistance.
    4. Check the CD and CD-ROM drive.
    Dust or dirt on a CD can interfere with an installation and prevent the CD-ROM drive from recognizing the CD. Examine the Photoshop Lightroom CD for dirt, dust, or fingerprints. Gently wipe the bottom of the CD from the center outward with a soft, lint-free cloth.
    Verify that the CD-ROM drive can read other CDs. If it can't, examine the CD caddy or loading tray for dirt, and clean it with a lint-free cloth. If it still can't read other CDs, contact the CD-ROM drive manufacturer or the computer manufacturer.
    5. Install current Windows service packs and other updates.
    Updates to the Windows operating system improve its performance and compatibility with applications. You can obtain Windows service packs and other updates from the Microsoft website at www.windowsupdate.com. For assistance installing service packs and other updates, contact Microsoft technical support.
    Important: Before you install a system update, check the system requirements for Photoshop Lightroom (and any third-party software or hardware you may use with Photoshop Lightroom ) to ensure compatibility. If the update isn't listed, then contact Adobe or the manufacturer of your third-party software or hardware.
    6. InstallPhotoshopLightroomfrom the desktop and use the default installation folder.
    Some system components such as device drivers and virus protection utilities can conflict with the Photoshop Lightroom installer and result in an incomplete or failed installation, or they can cause problems when you install to a folder or when you use a path to the default installation folder that contains a special character, such as #. To prevent these conflicts, install Photoshop Lightroom from the desktop, and use the default folder name and path.
    If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
    Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
    Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    7.Re-create thePhotoshopLightroompreferences file.
    Re-create the Photoshop Lightroom preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause:
    Quit Photoshop Lightroom.
    Rename the Lightroom Preferences.agprefs file (for example, to Lightroom Preferences.old) in the Users/[username]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Preferences folder.
    Start Photoshop Lightroom. Photoshop Lightroom creates a new preferences file.
    If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the original name of the previous preferences file.
    8.Install and run Photoshop Lightroom while no other applications are running.
    Some applications may interfere with installing or running Photoshop Lightroom. Virus protection programs are meant to stop viruses from installing on your computer. Before installing or starting Photoshop Lightroom, disable other applications, including virus protection programs and startup items (items that start automatically with Windows).
    To disable startup items and non Microsoft services:
    Quit all applications.
    Choose Start, type msconfig in the Search text box, and press Enter.
    Write down all unselected items under the Startup and Services tabs.
    Click the General tab, and choose Selective Startup.
    Click the Startup tab and select Disable All.
    Click the Services tab and select Hide All Microsoft Services.
    Select Disable All then re-select FLEXnet Licensing Service. If you are unsure whether an item is essential, then leave it deselected (disabled).
    Click Apply, and restart Windows for the changes to take effect.
    Note: Upon restart, you'll be notified that the System Configuration utility has made changes to the way that Windows starts up. Click OK. When the System Configuration utility appears, click Cancel.
    Right-click icons in the Notification Area and close or disable any startup items that are still active.
    9. Install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items and installing from the hard disk.
    Hard disk problems can prevent Photoshop Lightroom from installing correctly. By installing Photoshop Lightroom to a different physical hard disk, you can verify if the original hard disk is preventing installation. First, completely remove Photoshop Lightroom from the hard disk.
    To install Photoshop Lightroom to a different hard disk after disabling startup items:
    Follow the steps in task 8 above to disable startup items.
    If Photoshop Lightroom autoplay displays, click Cancel when you are requested to Select the Language.
    Copy the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder from the Photoshop Lightroom CD-ROM to the desktop.
    Open the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom folder on the desktop.
    Double-click the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.msi file, and follow the on-screen instructions.
    Click Change and select a different hard disk in the Change Current Destination Folder window. Click OK, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
    Intermediate troubleshooting
    If the tasks in the previous section don't solve the problem, try the following intermediate troubleshooting tasks.
    10. Install and run Photoshop Lightroom in a new user account.
    Create a new user account that has the same permissions as the account that you use when the problem occurs. If the problem doesn't recur, the original user account may be damaged. For instructions on creating a new user account, see To add a new user to the computer in Windows Help or contact your system administrator.
    11. Optimize handling of temporary files by Windows Vista.
    Windows and applications store working data in temporary (.tmp) files that they create on the hard disk. Excessive or outdated temporary files can interfere with performance of Windows or applications.
    Delete temporary files by using the Disk Cleanup utility included with Windows or by using the following instructions. Make sure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written. To start Disk Cleanup, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup. For information about Disk Cleanup, see Windows Help.
    To manually delete temporary files:
    Note: Windows deletes temporary files when Windows and applications close normally. However, when Windows or an application crashes, temporary files can accumulate on the hard disk. Windows may prevent you from deleting some temporary files as they may be in use. Delete as many temporary files as you possibly can, without deleting the files that are in use.
    Quit all applications.
    Choose Start and type %tmp% in the Search text box and press Enter.
    Delete the contents of this folder.
    Note the drive letter where this directory is located.
    To ensure that at least 1 GB of free space is available on the hard disk to which temporary files are written:
    Choose Start > My Computer.
    Select the drive noted in step 4. Right click and select Properties.
    Confirm the drive has at least 1 GB of free space.
    12. Repair and defragment hard disks.
    System errors can occur if hard disks contain damaged sectors or fragmented files. Repair and defragment hard disks, either by using the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter utility included with Windows or by using a third-party disk utility. You should run such utilities on each hard disk or partition. More information about the Error-checking tool and Disk Defragmenter appears below; for more information about a third-party disk utility, refer to the documentation for the utility.
    The Error-checking tool repairs bad sectors, lost allocation units and file fragments, cross-linked files, and invalid file names. To access the Error-checking tool, choose Start > Computer, right-click the desired hard disk, and choose Properties from the menu. In the Local Disk Properties dialog box, click the Tools tab, and then click Check Now in the Error-checking area.
    Note: To prevent Disk Defragmenter from moving files to bad sectors of a disk, run the Error-checking tool before running Disk Defragmenter.
    Disk Defragmenter rearranges the files and free space on your computer so that files are stored in contiguous units and free space is consolidated in one contiguous block. To access the Disk Defragmenter utility, choose Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.
    13. Scan the system for viruses.
    Use current anti-virus software to check the system for viruses. Virus infections can damage software and cause system errors. For more information, see the documentation for the anti-virus software.
    14. Try to install Photoshop Lightroomon a different computer.
    Try to install Photoshop Lightroom on a different computer to determine if the problem is unique to your computer. If the problem is unique to your computer, contact the computer manufacturer; if the problem occurs on multiple computers, contact Adobe Technical Support.
    Advanced Troubleshooting
    If the tasks in the previous section don't resolve the problem, you may be able to resolve the problem by reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, reformatting your hard disk and reinstalling Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom, or by determining if hardware is conflicting with Photoshop Lightroom.
    Disclaimer: Adobe doesn't support hardware and provides these procedures as a courtesy only. For further assistance, contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller. If you troubleshoot hardware problems yourself, you may void the warranty for your computer.
    Note: Before you remove or rearrange hardware, turn off and disconnect power to the computer and any peripheral devices.
    15. Log in using the built-in Administrator account.
    The built-in Administrator account has a higher access level to the system than a normal local administrator account. By default the built-in Administrator account is disabled. For information about enabling and logging in to the built-in Administrator account, contact your system administrator.

    16. Reformat the hard disk, and reinstall only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom.
    Reformat the hard disk, and then install only Windows Vista and Photoshop Lightroom from the original installation media. Reformatting a disk erases all files it contains, so be sure to back up all personal files first. Also make sure that you have all application and system disks.
    For instructions on performing a clean installation of Windows Vista, see document 918884, "How to install Windows Vista" on the Microsoft website at http://support.microsoft.com.
    Note: Don't install additional software or hardware until you're sure that the problem is resolved. Don't back up the hard disk and restore Windows and Photoshop Lightroom instead of reinstalling them. If the problem is caused by an application or Windows, and either one is restored instead of reinstalled, the problem may recur.
    After you reformat the hard disk and reinstall Windows and Photoshop Lightroom, try to re-create the problem:
    If the problem no longer occurs, then install other applications one at a time and try to re-create the problem after each installation. If the problem occurs after an installation, then the recently installed application may be the cause.
    If the problem occurs when only Windows and Photoshop Lightroom are installed, then the cause may be hardware-related, and you should contact the hardware manufacturer or an authorized reseller for assistance.
    17. Check for problems with RAM modules.
    Ensure that the RAM modules are installed properly and are not the cause of your problem. Do one or both of the following:
    Change the order of the installed modules.
    Remove all but the minimum number of modules needed to run Windows and [product], and test to see if the problem persists. If it does, replace the modules you removed and remove the others, testing again to see if the problem recurs. If it doesn't, then one or more of the removed modules are the cause. For assistance, contact the RAM manufacturer.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS4 after migration to new Mac

    I just migrated from an old Mac to a new Macbook Pro running Mavericks. I'm having a problem with Photoshop CS4. Specifically, two things:
    1) When I open an image in Camera Raw, I get this error:
    Fatal error - missing component
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/Client/4.0.0/VersionCue.framework
    2) When I try to save anything, it tells me it can't because of a program error.
    I've looked around for a solution. Apparently I had to install Java, but that hasn't solved the issue. A couple of people mentioned that reinstalling would work for a similar problem. My problem with that is that my disk is on the other side of the world and my new macbook doesn't have a disk drive anyway. So I logged into my Adobe account hoping to see a download link for software I have licences for, but there isn't one.
    So my question is firstly, whether there is a simpler solution to the errors I am getting and, if not, if there's a solution to reinstalling Photoshop CS4 without the disk.
    Thanks!

    Did you use Apple's migration tool?  It misses a lot of support files, especially in the Application Support directories.
    You'll have to copy those files manually, or reinstall the app.

  • Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

    I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6.  If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to.  I don't know if I changed something by accident or not. 
    Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..."  The save as window opens showing the file name and format.  The default format seems to be .PSD.  I use the drop down to select .jpg.  The file saves normally as a .jpg.  When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
    I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite  but it always used to do that.  This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
    In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
    I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance

    Problems with Photoshop CS2
    I originally purchased this software several years ago. At time I was running Microsoft Windows XP.
    This computer recently was replaced with a Dell running Windows 8.I reloaded my CS2 on this computer & it ran fine with a few exceptions as follows;
    when the software comes up initially I get a message that says “could not complete your request because of program error”. Hitting OK allows me to continue using the software .
    When I try to activate a function using CTLR or ALT keys I get this message “required application failed to load and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application”. This causes the application to abort.
    Reloading my CS2 continues to generate the same messages when I depress the CTLR or ALT keys.

    Your original copy is obsolete and Adobe is offering a free replacement you are entitled to. Download and use that and that should clear it up for you.
