Project window went blank. Windows 7. Layers still show on right side of screen, but nothing in workspace.

I am using Photoshop CS6 Extended on a windows computer running windows 7. I was in the middle of a large project when the workspace window suddenly went black. The list of layers still shows on the right side of the screen, but the workspace itself is black ... no trace of my project. I rebooted the computer and restarted CS6. Other saved projects open normally, but this one comes up with a blank black window. I have a lot of hours invested in this project. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks, Agnes.

Update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website.
If you cannot update your video card driver for some reason, then disable GPU usage in Photoshop's preferences and relaunch Photoshop.

    Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
    You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

    Try Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes

    I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC.  I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126).  I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes.  What next?  I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.

    I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer.  I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours.  They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways.  Each install gave the same problem!  If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble.  They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution.  I am waiting and hoping.  Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

  • I would like to share my ipad on my Windows machine. I got the Ipad to HDMI adaptor but nothing is displayed on the screen... Do I need any additional softwares?

    I would like to share my ipad on my Windows machine. I got the Ipad to HDMI adaptor but nothing is displayed on the screen... Do I need any additional softwares?
    Actually I would like to have the Ipad connected to pc and then run an application on the ipad (which is shown on my windows machine) and record it on the windows machine... Is this feasible?

    If you have an HDMI connection on your computer, it is most likely an output, it won't recieve a signal unless it's on a video capture card. Recording to the PC could be a difficlut task. HDMI is encrypted to keep you from copying but there are ways to do it. It would also depend on what content you intended on recording. If it's movies you have purchased or rented, it would be illegal.

  • A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.

    A song I purchased on iTunes has dropped out from my iPhone - but it still shows purchased in iTunes...but it won't let me download it again.
    Any ideas?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • I filled in a Word pdf document, sent it to a client who uses Word in Windows 7 and the form appears blank when they open it. They can read the form, but nothing that I filled in. Help!

    I was sent a lengthy pdf form that required me to enter data onto it. The sentences appeared compressed on my screen, but I could see everything that I entered. Next emailed it to my boss and when he opened it on his Windows 7 with Word, all of the data that I had entered appeared lost. It was as if I hadn't entered anything on the form. So I asked him to send it back to me. He did and when I opened it on my Mac Book Air, all of the information that I had filled in was there on my screen.
    This went back and forth a few times, but the result was always the same. I have been requested to complete the form on a Windows based computer, which will take me hours. Any ideas what causes this problem and how to fix it?

    What has this to do with Pages? You probably did this in Preview.

  • Windows 7 does not show my Ipad2 in my computer but Itunes does

    I have tried 2 diff. Ipad 2's as well as an Iphone 4 and windows 7 does not see them. any suggestions ?

    ITunes has nothing to do with the windows operating system so sync wont work because the photo's are on the pad not the computer. I will call apple support. I think it has something to do with the apple drivers for windows that changed in the latest upgrade

  • Printing window from Grab-always cuts off right side

    I am wondering why Grab (Capture Window) captures the window perfectly, only to have it distorted when I go to print that window. Every time I use Grab for a window that I want to print, no matter what I do, the right side of the window (text/graphics) is cut off in the printing process.
    Doesn't matter if I change Page Layout to Horizontal, the right side is never there in Print Preview. What is Grab intended for, if not to capture the whole window so someone can print it out? I don't get it.
    I normally use the command, shift, 4, drag sequence which always works perfectly. So my question, is why is Grab there in my applications, if it doesn't do what I need it to do? I'm sure it has some good use that I am unaware of.
    Can anyone tell me if I am doing something wrong with Grab? Thanks.

    Hi, Jane. I have no idea why, but the same thing happens for me. A clumsy but effective workaround is to use the Save As... command in Grab, then open the resulting TIFF file in Preview, and print it from Preview instead of printing it from Grab.
    Command-Shift-Option-4 has always worked so well for me that I think this is the first time I've ever opened Grab, and it may well be the last.

  • I tried deleting some songs off my ipod nano in order to make some room for new ones, an 'error' window popped up and the album artwork was deleted along with the song, but the blank cover and name still shows up? Help!

    yeah, clue's in the name?

    Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
    Not much you can do, but try this anyway...
    PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

    In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

  • Windows 7 drive not showing up in start-up screen

    So as you can see the picture on top, it's a picture of my bootcamp and I have installed windows 7 but the problem in here is that my drive of windows 7 in the start-up screen (when you press alt/option when the computer turns on) would not show and I tried installing my windows for about 7 times again and again becuase it would not work does anybody have the same problem or got through this problem? please help

    yeah, I had a feeling it might be Tuxera causing it, wanted to see if there was another solution other than uninstalling it.
    I tried disabling it in the pref pane and that didn't fix the issue, so I'm assuming it would need to be uninstalled.
    As long as I am able to boot into Windows when needed (which isn't very often), I'm not too concerned.  Its a little inconvenient to have to hold Option during startup to do it, but it works.
    Whats annoying too is that when using BootCamp control panel in Windows to restart into OSX, it boots into the emergency partition for Lion instead of Lion.  So, guess holding Option at startup is the only option both ways!
    Thanks for the help.

  • How to make the finder window expand to full height AND width of my screen, but not "full screen mode".

    The new green button on the finder window makes the screen go into full screen takeover mode - alt clicking this makes it 100% height of the screen.
    How can I make this 100% width and height (just like it used to be in Mavericks)?
    I have 2 x 27" monitors, so the "full screen takeover" mode is not right as I only want the finder window to be on one monitor whilst I work on another.
    Any ideas?! Thank you!

    Was about to post the same question.
    Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite (about a month ago), this odd behavior has irked me.
    Could it be that it only plagues those of us running dual displays? And therefore nobody else cares?

  • New safari update (5.1.2) for windows does not load any webpage. i can open safari but nothing happens.

    why wont it load?

    Try this:
    Bring up the Windows Task Manager.
    Look for a process called: "WebKit2WebProcess.exe" and there may be a *32 after the name.
    Now Look for a "Safari" process, there may be multiple instances, but the primary instance will be identified by the significantly more memory that it uses.
    Kill both processes.
    The Kill order may be important.
    If the WebKit process is running alone kill that first, and try to relaunch Safari.
    If a Safari process(s) is running, Kill the primary instance, The WebKit process should also go away but if not Kill WebKit too.
    It may take more that one launch attempt to clear the memory.
    Further,, you will likely have to do this at each Safari launch because these processes become unstable after short use - until Apple fixes this bug.

    Ps: I have no issues what so ever on Lion, just Windows 7

    Try to set it up as new device, explained here:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    First without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data.
    If it works after that, use the backup to restore from.
