Problems with CS4 and Vista

Hi everyone,
Ok here is my problem im running windows vista "32Bit" on my laptop and im trying to instal photoshop CS4. I downloaded the trial from the adobe.com website and i have un zipped the file but when i click Setup.exe it just dont do anything. I have tryed deleting and re downloading but that didn't help any.
When i run the setup.exe it does show in command prompt but the CPU shows 0%
i have also tryed the things below:
Run as admin
Run with UAC turned off
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f
And i have tryed when all other apps are closed
Please help me with this as i want to see what photoshop is like on vista
P.S
My laptop meets the min requirments
PPS
If you need any more info please ask

Do you have any security tools running? Is there any other Adobe software on the system? Do you see the instance of Setup.exe running in task manager's process list and does it spawn instances of msiexec.exe? When you cycle through your active apps with Alt-Tab, do you see any possibly hidden windows?

Problem with standby and Vista

Hi!
I've a problem with my X61 with the Turbo Memory and Vista x64: When I install the driver for Turbo Memory, I cannot resume from standby. The notebook does only a "normal" reboot.
Can anybody help me with this problem?

well after a lengthy talk with many microsoft reps i found something. I was an updated version of this "WUDfrd.sys" file. But the problem was that i could not see a download link. but after a little while i convinced microsoft to give it to me. at first it looked like it had potential but after i restarted, every went down the plug hole. here is the link that i was talking about.

Photomerge problems with CS4 and CS5

I am having all kinds of sudden problems with Photomerge that I never had before (with CS4). I do very big files and have multiprocessor MacPro and 16 gigs of RAM and whether I use CS4 interactive or CS5 with the Ul plugin in 32 bit Photoshop is just crashing half way through the operations. I am very annoyed that the new CS5 does not have interactive in 64 bit as any automatic function almost never does the merge properly. But at the moment nothing is working with either Photoshop.
Any ideas and will Adobe implement interactive in photomerge in 64 bit? I am a professional doing large scale pieced-together murals and need the interactive mode and in 64 bit to utilize all the RAM and the ability of the architecture of the system.

Sami,
Thanks for the file and the screenshots. A couple of remarks.
Try to update your BIOS. You currently have version 05.04. There may be a newer version available, although the file date is 05/19/2009, so it may be current. Just check it please.
You have ASUS Six Engine running. I would disable that from starting. I never found a use for it, I prefer to use my own judgement.
Here are your results in comparison to my score, while running at a clock speed of 3441 MHz, so about 30% faster.
As you can see, your CPU results are in line with mine, considering the 30% difference in clock speed. The same applies to your memory mark, nothing wrong with that either. You did not test the CD speed, and that can lead to a lower PassMark rating. Rerun the test with a CD or DVD in the drive. That may help.
Your video card is causing serious problems. The speed of the video card is not really CPU clock speed dependent. Your results are very disappointing. First thing to check is whether you have the latest drivers. Your 2D Graphics results are about 1/3-rd of my results and the 3D results are about half of what I achieved. This is rather surprising, since I would have expected the nVidia card to be much better than shown here.
Your disk results are disastrous for the final benchmark result, but on the other hand, not unexpected. Your results are done on a single disk in comparison to my 12 disk array, which is around 10 times faster, even with parity calculations.
To summarize, your video card is the big bottleneck here. Check for new drivers, altough based on the date of the drivers, it seems unlikely there are newer ones. An alternative might be to temporarily reduce your screen resolution and rerun the test while using something like 960 x 600. This will possibly lead to a higher score, although that is faking it a bit.

Problems with iTunes and Vista.

I recently got a new laptop that runs Vista 64-bit. I downloaded the latest iTunes (I didn't know I needed the special 64-bit one then). It copied my songs in duplicate, and some in triplicate, and after I'd deleted the extra ones it couldn't find any of the songs that were left. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. The second time around, the installer suggested I get iTunes for 64-bit Vista.
That version of iTunes, though, refuses to open. I only get an error message saying that it can't load my iTunes library because it was created by an earlier version of iTunes. I made sure to delete every folder associated with iTunes before uninstalling it and reinstalling the 64-bit one again. Same result. I uninstalled and reinstalled again. Same result.
I'm getting seriously annoyed. Please help.

You need to use the shift-start of itunes to open those old ITL files.
Press *and hold* the shift key and browse to them when prompted.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/8.0/en/15502.html
But really it might be best to move the older ITL to the normal location before doig that. iTunes will start adding stuff to the Previous iTunes Library folder if you open it from there.

Having problem with CS4 and CS5 Photoshop crashes when I try to save.

Any ideas?
I'm using an iMac 2.33 Ghz with 2.5 Gb ram.
I've seen someone say to try trashing the Preferences but I can't seem to find that file.
This is driving me nuts please any help is appreciated.

A crash report would be useful.
(especially since most of the crashes on save are in OS code)
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776 for how to reset preferences.
And make sure you've installed all the updates to Photoshop.

Is Verizon going to acknowlege the problems with FIOS and Windows Vista

For months now, I have been reading the numerous problems Fios internet customers are having with Fios internet/Actiontech Router and Windows Vista and there has been no acknowledgement by Verizon of this current major issue.
I have also experienced the exact same issue for months now since I switched to Verizon FIOS internet. Previously I had Comcast HSI using my Windows Vista laptop. I had their service for over a year and I NEVER has a problem with the Windows Vista globe icon disappearing and loosing internet connection. The Globe always stayed on and never went away and I never lost connection when I had Comcast
I had Verizon FIOS installed last September with my Windows Vista computer and my wireless internet connection started to drop from day 1 and it has been a daily occurrence for over 5 months now. It has gotten so bad, I have had to hardwire my laptop to to be able to use the internet uninterrupted.
This is what daily scenario is:
When I turn on my laptop(with Windows Vista, I can initially get full internet access(with the globe on and it says "Local and internet). After about 10 minutes or less, the globe switches to "local only" and I can still get internet access. After another 5 or so minutes, a large X covers the globe and I lose internet connection entirely. The actiontech router wireless signal is no longer listed as one of the wireless networks. The only way for me to regain internet access is either to restart my laptop or reboot the actiontech router.
Numeorus posts here, over by DSL forums(Broadband Reports),Microsoft's website and a few othere websites detail this issue.
I am extremely shocked and surprised that Verizon has not tried to fix this issue by working with both the makers of the Actiontech Router as well as Microsoft to find out what the problem is and how to fix it.
I would just like to reiterate I strongly believe this is primarily a FIOS internet issue since I previously had Comcast HSI for over a year with the same Windows Vista laptop and I NEVER had that problem. Also, I can connect to my neighbors wireless connection(she uses Comcast HSI) and when I do, the globe stay on all the time on my computer and the internet does not lose connection.
I know that there are a couple of Verizon employees here. Please tell the higher ups who handle FIOS internet that this is a major issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
P.S: Please don't tell me to go by my own router because then, I will have to deal with the issues of setting it up to work with Fios TV and the related VOD, widgets, remote DVR compatability issues to deal with. I don't think I can deal with the additional headaches.

FIOS is short for fiber optics. fiber optics is different technology than DSL.
With that said, if you search the Microsoft databases for vista issues with fiber optics, (CURRENTLY THERE IS ONLY ONE PROVIDER OF FIBER TO THE HOUSE, that being Verizon, so yes you can also search Vista issues with verizon and\or fios) and you will find that Microsoft already acknowledges this issue with their software. AND they offer you a fix.

Problem with Speaker and Headset in Windows Vista

Hi, I just got my Macbook Pro 13" and having problem with speaker and headset when working with Windows Vista (I have installed the driver from bootcamp). The sound very weak if I play music from Itunes or youtube even the volume already full and if i put my headset the sound not coming out. Is there anyone can help me to solve this problem?
Regards,Edwin

When you post about Windows / Boot Camp, in Mac Pro (workstation) forum where others with a MacBOOK would be more likely to have same hardware configuration, and you won't find Windows drivers on Apple downloads. More like at
http://www.guru3d.com or other sites, or go to RealTek (if that is the type of audio you have).

CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time. Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working. I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's. Is there

CS 4 Dynamic Link to Encore doesn't work most of the time. Encore stops operating after opening and periodically Premier Pro stops working. I'm told that there has been a problem with CS4 when using Dynamic Link to go to Encore and build CD's. Is there a way around this? Is there a patch to correct it?

To build CD's???
What problem does Encore have with DL?
If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

Problem with Windows7 and Adobe Flash freezing computer?

Hello All, There is a problem with Windows7 and my Adobe Flash causing my computer to freeze. So, Skype, videos, etc will not work. Have tried many things to solve problem. Can Oracle VM be used to run a different operating system...such as XP or Vista where Flash will work properly? I would hate to have a new operating system installed on a new computer. thanks

If you mean Oracle VM VirtualBox, then yes, definitely. A free download, it installs and runs great on Windows 7. http://www.virtualbox.org/

I'm having a problem with coreaudiotoolbox and corevideo.dll.

I'm having a problem with coreaudiotoolbox and corevideo.dll. PC was corrupted, I restored. Now when I launch Safari, I run into errors, can't find these two dll files. Itunes won't download at all because it says something is missing but won't say what. Now what do I do? Apple won't help because they want $50 dollars just to talk with me and I've been down that road before and to no satisfaction. Help please!!

Taken at face value, you're having trouble with Apple Application Support program files there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept, so an AAS problem can affect both iTunes and Safari.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click Repair.
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post (although it's for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things):

Problem with MathType and CS5 due to InDesign

We publish Math and Science curriculum and we run into the problem below.
the second bullets is imported wrong in CS5. Is there a work around? (I also emailed Design Science). We'd rather use CS5 since all our other subjects are done in CS5 and we want to be able to use spanning across columns which does not exist in CS4.
The same happens when using MT Extra instead of Euclid Extra.

BTW, Jongware, I was a bit unfair about the fonts. You can sign up for the 30-day free trial of Mathtype and then you get the fonts. Furthermore, the strong implication is that you need not delete them after the trial period is over, and therefore you also can extract them from the installer for use like this with no compunctions (which is what I did). Source: MathType: Font Installers.
redesign: Moving right along, just like Jongware, when I open your CS4 document in CS4, I see the same behavior Jongware saw and the same behavior you saw in CS5 (which I also see in CS5), namely the goofy circle glyph (seems to be GID 64 and U+F069):
I did have to turn on high-resolution previews, though otherwise I got something else entirely.
I notice, however, that you seem to have authored this file using some 3rd party plugins:
Since that seems to be a math-related plugin, it doesn't seem inconceivable that it is part of the issue.
I suggest you disable it and re-test in CS4.
The font does seem a bit goofy...The goofy circle glyph appears in FontForge, as a ccwcontourcircle, but not in
standard Mac font apps, like TextEdit. It's also the 'i' position in the font.
I don't know enough about fonts to dig and really figure out why you get one character when it is first and another when it is second, but I really don't think this is InDesign. Oh, right, let's look at the EPS file in another program...
Curiously, Preview.app indeed shows the bullet glyph in the first position (and in the second).
Adobe Illustrator, which I opened by accident (ha!), shows ccwcontourcircles.
So it seems that Apple and Adobe's EPS renderers treat this font differently.
I suppose it might be an Adobe bug, but I'm more inclined to suspect its ambiguous... The way the ccwcontourcircle is encoded seems strange to me.
Well, I think that's enough for me. Basically, Jongware and I see consistent behavior with CS4 and CS5 — oh, actually. Are you using CS4 and CS5 on the same machine? Or on different machines? Because...I suspect this is handled by the AGM library, and it may well be that using CS4 on a machine with CS5 makes it use CS5's AGM library. But that might not be true at all, just speculation.
Anyhow, I'm not sure what Jongware's newfound Adobe Support optimism is based on. I suspect you'll hear from Design Science in the next day or two, and maybe from Adobe by September. But perhaps I am too pessimistic on Adobe Support right now.
I suppose making it consistently ccwcountour doesn't help you overmuch though. Hrmm.

Problems with Safari in vista

I'm having some problems with Safari in Vista.
I recently wiped my hard drive, and reinstalled Windows. Anyway reinstalling programs and I've come into a problem.
When I open Safari it gets stuck loading. It does this with any site.
All my other browsers work fine, and even with the firewall and stuff turned off it won't work. It worked fine before, but now it just won't do anything. Not even a page won't display thing.
It just gets stuck. Anyone know how to get it to work? Thanks.

Is java 1.6.0.3 latest version installed?
have you tried removing the two user folders that Safari uses to store prefs, bookmarks, history and cache in? (don't delete, just rename or move aside).
For now, FF 3.0A is probably a better choice until later anyway. There are WebKit latest builds, but I don't know how to use or install those in Windows, but would be 10-19-2007 of the core foundation Safari uses.

Printing problems with CS4.

Dear members:
After several attempts to print black-and-white photos in Photoshop CS4 I decided to give up and seek help.
I have followed the steps I believe are the right ones and the same I have used before with previous versions of Photoshop. First I applied the command Image > Adjustments > Black & White ... and my color photo became black-and-white on screen. I made an attempt to print but the print came out looking blueish (as if it had some kind of blue duotone applied to it). Second I tried the same settings and also set the printer (an Epson R 1800 photo printer) to black instead of color. Again the same result. In my last attempt I converted the image using the same command above (Image > Adjustments > Black & White ...), then I used the command Image > Adjustments > Desaturate and after that I applied the command Image > Mode > Grayscale. In addition to all these steps I also entered black in the printer dialog box instead of color. Still the print came out blueish just as it had before.
What must one do to "convince" Photoshop to print a color photo as a true black-and-white image ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Joseph

Thanks Milenium. I appreciate your response. Yes I do work in RGB. The profile is sRGB IEC 61966-2.1( The same as for all the photos) The monitor profile (Sony SDM-HS95P-DVI-D) is set at the system as well as the HP printer profile. I would like to update what has happened since my last post:
I reinstalled CS3 and installed a Canon Pixima 9000. The Cannon was just as much a mess as the HP vibrant colors and dark muddy prints, but the Canon had another problem...It was shifting red-magenta to yellow -orange However what I learned is that CS3 and CS4 were sharing some functions and settings even though I had the syncronization function turned off I.E, color settings, and working space. I couldn't bother with the Canon and since it was a loaner I took it out of the equationfor the time being. Next I read a post from 2004 on some web site from folks who were having similar problems with CS3 and HP printers( I never had a problem with this combo and as previously mentioned I do a great deal of wide printing with pretty good gosh darn results) Howerer, a poster said that she went into the system printer profile and deleted any profile there, then set up CS3 with no color management, and set the print function on the HP at application managed color( which she believed to be HP's no color management at the printer if if no color management is selected in photoshop. KInd of makes sense,she attained a 90% improvement in her prints. Well I gave it a shot and set everything up just as she suggested including the deleting of all the system printer files and got the same results as she did in back in 2004. A step foward I hope. If you have any other suggestions please let me know. My next step would be to remove Design Premium and see if that has any effect on restoring CS3 to it's previous standard vanilla set up of let the printer manage the color with the sRGB IEC 61966-2 profile.
