PS CS5.1 suddenly stops working correctly when opening another file

Hi, I have the Creative Suite cs5.1 student version (had it for about a year now), and now recently I have started to encounter a strange bug with Photoshop.
Sometimes when I have been working in PS for a while and then open another file, the photoshop starts acting weird, resulting in the file looking like this: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf.png
And if I try to paint anything, it will look pixelated like in this file:  https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf2.png and if I use ctrl+z after painting the paint just looks like this:  https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf3.png
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/14462293/wtf3.pngthe 2 last named effects will also apply for any images opened before this occurrence, and it happens for any file type.
I have checked my video card drivers, and they are up to date, so that's not a problem (My graphics card is ATI Radeon 5700 series). I've also run a throughout virus scan with Norton without it finding anything.
Any advice would be appreciated

Actualyl they still might be. Having the latest and newest is not always the most reliable. According to Noel Carboni, the best driver for ATI cards and any version of PS at this point is Catalyst 12.8, not the latest 12.10. So in fact you may simply need to downgrade to fix these problems.

  • I have been using my apple tv to access netflix for several months.  It suddenly stopped working.  When I try to go to netflix from the menu, it says "accessing netflix" but never does.  I can access you tube just fine, but just can't get to netflix.

    Update software. If that doesn't work try resetting.  Mine started working after the update.

    Hi. My photoshop elements 12 has suddenly stopped working. When i tried opening it yesterday absolutely nothing happened. After a reinstallation I got to choose between opening picture browser or photoshop elements and when trying to open elements nothing happens. Now I have reinstalled windows but still with the same result. I was using the program for several months without problem until yesterday when it suddenly stopped working. Any suggestions on what to do?

  • DNG Converter suddenly stopped working, won't read NEF files

    Hi all, I'm new here, but am looking for some help.
    I currently am on a mac book and run photoshop CS3. I've been shooting with a nikon d700 in raw. When I upload the photos to my computer I've previously run them through the DNG converter without a problem. Now, for the past two days it has just stopped working. When I try to convert the NEF files, they are just greyed out, I can't select anything. I tried reinstalling the DNG converter, but still no luck.
    I never had any issues with it before, and now it suddenly won't read my files. Any ideas what could be wrong?
    Thank you!

    Had you run the DNG on a Mac before?  On the Mac, the DNG Converter works on folders only, not on individual files (unless you use the Finder to drop the icons of your raw files on the DNG Converter application icon).  From within the application, using File > Open, the icon and names of individual raw files will always appear grayed out.
    You need to target the folder that contains the files you want to convert.
    CAVEAT: all eligible files in the folder will be converted, including any and all DNG files that may already be contained in the folder.  So if you have any DNGs in that folder, they will also be converted again and the original DNGs may be overwritten.

  • PProHeadless.exe has stopped working error when opening projects in Adobe Media Encoder CS6

    Hi, I recently upgraded to Adobe Cloud CS6 and am having problems with the Adobe Media Encoder CS 6 (version 6.0.1.31 64-bit).
    When I try to add Adobe Premiere projects in AME, it sometimes gives me the following error:
    PProHeadless.exe has stopped working
    I tried rebooting, and it still gives me the same error.  Sometimes the project will load, sometimes it won't.
    The Premiere projects contain a H.264 .mov file coming from my Canon T2i.  I also added an overlay logo to the bottom right of the video that I created in Adobe After Effects, which only contains text, no effects, no motion, etc.  Sometimes I also have a .wav file recorded from a Zoom H4n, but not always.  I usually edit those in Adobe Audition with the remove noise feature.
    I am running on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.  I'm using an i7 with 16GB ram and an ATI 6870 video card.
    I have the LUT buddy plugin installed.
    It will give me the error the first time I try to load the project, and the connection to Dynamic Link Server will fail.  Afterwards, if I try to load the project again, even if I restart AME, it stays stuck in the Connecting to Dynamic Link server...
    Any help anyone could provide would be appreciated.

    Hi Dima,
    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.  Dragging the sequence from PPro to AME made AME lock up.  But your second suggestion of exporting the video directly from PPro seems to be working.  I still have 6 minutes to go, but at least it got up to 25% so far, so everything seems good.
    Thank you once again!
    (although it would be nice if I could go through AME just in case)

  • Fonts don't work correctly when opening illustrator 5 eps in illustrator 6

    When I open an eps file in illustrator 6, which I received from our graphic designer (who is using 5), the fonts don't work correctly. We have purchased VistaSans and when I try to open file, it says fonts not found so they have been substituted, but when I open illustrator, the fonts are there. When I try to change text from VistaSansReg to VistaSansSCBold the bold doesn't apper in illustrator or when saving to PDF - however, when you click the changed text in illustrator, it does show the bold font has been selected.

    HI,
    It is an open type font so should work, but it looks like the problem is that it hasn't installed correctly in Illustrator. I am using Windows 7 so right-clicked fonts and clicked install. Fonts appear in fonts area of control panel and install in disabled when font is viewed.  they work correctly in other apps, such as Word
    When I vew the VistaSans fonts (in existing file) in Illustrator, they appear in the fonts drop-down, but have an asterisk beside them (i.e. not installed) so how do I get them to install correctly in Illustrator? Font isn't appearing in Photoshop either.

  • The FTP function in Dreamweaver CS5 has suddenly stopped working. My ISP just had to upgrade their FTP servers and they said it was no longer compatible with the FTP in Dreamweaver CS5! Help!!

    Is there any update to Dreamweaver CS5 that will allow the FTP function to be compatible with the new FTP server protocol? Please help. Will I need to upgrade to CS6?

    Ask in the DW forum and be much more specific about the requirements for your FTP connection like its ports, TLS settings and so on.

  • I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

    The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

  • My trackpad pinch and close has stopped working correctly on web pages, but ok on email?

    Recently the pinch and close on my trackpad has stopped working correctly when I view websites/pages, it will enlarge only once and will not reduce at all after that. Although It works perfectly well when viewing emails. Does anyone know if this can be solved please, my laptop is still under wareenty but this feels like a software problem maybe..?
    Thanks
    Milosorb

    First look at this Apple support article for possible solutions:
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203171
    If no success, sometimes a very through cleaning of the trackpad will restore functionality.
    Last, open the MBP and examine the battery to see if it has expanded.  It resides under the trackpad and may be interfering with it.  If that is the case, the battery should be replaced.
    Ciao.

  • Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working!

    My Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working.
    When I power it up I see the that power and HDD green lights go on and from another computer on my network I can access individual files on the T61p hdd.  
    However when I connect the T61p via VGA cable to an external working monitor I don't see Windows or any images on the external screen!
    Do you think that there is only a problem with the screen or could there be something else?
    The currently installed screen on the T61p 6457 is WSXGA 1680x1050 (Samsung LTN154P2-LO5).
    I have found a working WUXGA 1920 x 1200 along with inverter and cable in the original Lenovo T61p top case housing - will this work in my T61p?
    Solved!

  • My laptop suddenly stopped working

    my laptop suddenly stopped working  and when i restart it the power button lights up but the screen doesn't on. and also the capslock is on and another light ons on the keybord with a symbol of all four arrow keys(its not a key) i really am having trouble with it. if anybody can help me please..

    Unplug the AC adaptor, remove the battery, press and hold the power on button for a minimum of 30 seconds, then replace the battery and see if it powers up.  If not, repeat the above but this time only plug the AC adaptor in and see if it works.  If that doesn't help, repeat the above and this replace the battery and plug the AC back in.  If that doesn't take care of it you should remove the memory sticks reseat them, them try again.  If you have two sticks try with only one at a time to see if that helps.  If not, try removing the hard drive and boot to a Linux Live CD or some self booting diagnostic cd to see if the hard drive is the problem.  If none of the above helps you'll need to take it to an authorized service center if it's still under warranty, or to any repair shop if it isn't.

  • TS2198 ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working, then disappeared from the computer, from the desktop where I have been using it for the past two years, without trouble, then from the list of applications. . .

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-
