PS CS6 64bit New Install Freezes on Opening on New Win7 64bit Workstaton

Hello All,
Just installed CS6 on my new workstation and Photoshop; it freezes upon opening.
Every other program I have installed has worked flawlessly, including the rest of the CS6 Suite and Lightroom 5.
Both Windows and the Adobe Suite have all available updates already installed.
Computer is a new HP Z420 Xeon Workstation, Windows 7 Pro 64bit, 16GB Ram
Thanks for any help

Solved!
I was able to get ahold of someone at Adobe who had just faced this problem with another customer a few days ago and discovered the cure mainly by accident.
On some computers, with a brand new install, the "Help Adobe Products" dialog box opens up and then the application opens on top. The application is frozen waiting for the user to click to answer the dialog box but it is hidden in the background where the user can not see it. To solve the problem, the user needs to click on the PS icon at the bottom left of the screen. This causes a drop down to appear and the user can click on the "Help Adobe Products" dialog box, bringing it to the top where it can then be answered. Once it is answered, it does not appear again so, from then on, Photoshop opens normally.
This was one of those problems I could have spent a heck of alot of hours trying to resolve. Luckily I got ahold of the right person at Adobe.

  • New CS6 freezing when opening

    I just loaded CS6 on my Windows 7 computer.  It worked fine yesterday, but today every time I open it it freezes up and does nothing.  No error messages appear, it just sits there.  I can't click on anything.  Should I remove it and reload it?
    Thank you so much,

    I am sorry, that link sends me to something about After Effects.  I went down the page and didn't see anything relating to my problem, or Photoshop CS6.  I don't know what respective folder you are referring to.  I have only set a few preferences in CS6 because it started freezing up and there has been nothing I could do.
    I guess I am still in need of help, or at least an explanation of what the respective folder is.
    Thank you

  • Error when installing Adobe Illustrator CS6 (64bit)

    Hello everybody,
    I've been trying to install all packages inside Creative Suite 6 Design Standard CD but the installation fails, then decided to install one by one and noticed the error comes only when installing Illustrator CS6 (64bit).
    My PC is runing windows 7 64bit and the error it appears says: win32 cabinet self-extractor stopped working.
    Could anybody give me a hand with this issue, I already look on the web but couldn't find something that really helps me.

  • Photoshop CS6 64bit crashing with big psb files right after opening

    Hi everybody,
    I'm having big trouble since CS6 and I couldnt find andy help anywhere, thats why i have to ask here.
    Problem discription:
    Opening an 7gb 8bit psb file in PS CS6 64bit: PS opens the file and crashes immediately after showing the content (layers and image). an small error message is shown (but there is no description)
    Sometimes it opens the file, and i can work in it, and when i try to save it (in background AND normal), PS just disappears without error message
    My work around: If i open another small jpg first (in first tab) and then open the big psb, i dont get this problem. but actually i never had it open for very long since im kinda scared to put some work into this unstable system.
    When doing this in PS CS6 32bit version, its pretty stable and i have no crash.
    Funny thing is also, that one time I created a big file from like 20big tiffs in 16bit and could save it. All the time PS was running while creating stuff from scratch i didnt crashed. But after I saved the file and restarted PS, then he couldnt handle the file anymore and crashed like i said before.
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Stefan

    I have issues with PS CS6 and much smaller program files (less than 100mbs) but your problems may have less to do with programming bugs, many though there be, in PS CS6, than basic computer/OS issues.
    Your files are so large (7gbs?) that you may be incurring problems with memory handling on your system due to hardware issues, OS issues or both.
    In the real world most motherboards cannot stably use more than 16gbs of memory. Try removing RAM down to 16gbs and see if that improves stability. Google that if you do not believe me. You will not lose any performance, any may actually gain stability, going to dual channel memory using two instead of three slots.
    Run a memory diagnostic, a complete version that may take several hours to run, to see if any of your RAM is defective. Before doing that make sure all your RAM modules are properly seated in their slots.
    Install a second hard drive, offload as many files as you can to it and defragment your main hard drive (defragment it no matter what it reports about fragmentation).
    In truth in the real world neither Windows or Mac OSancient can use more than 8gbs RAM--and motherboards rarely are stable with more than 16gbs of installed RAM-- so contiguous hard drive space remains important, particularly for very large files. Also regardless of how much hardware RAM you have Windows will preferentially default to the hard drive for virtual memory for some routine processes. If all your RAM is functioning well you may want to completely turn off virtual memory in Windows but overall machine stability may be problematic. Fortunately, unlike Photoshop, Windows will run stably with virutal memory on a secondary hard drive.
    You have way too much RAM. Most studies show that Photoshop performance does not change once you get past just 4gbs of RAM, regardless of whether the OS or program is 32 or 64 bits.
    So many Photoshop processes are single threaded so that regardless of how much RAM you have all the image data has to pass through one of the processor cores of your CPU. If you do not believe me look up those tests of performance with varying the RAM and varying the CPU: PS is a CPU dependent program despite Adobe's laudable but unstable use of the GPU to attempt parallel processing of image data.
    All versions of Windows have finite resources for handling memory which files of your size may exceed. You should turn off any and all un-needed background programs and processes, including antivirus (unplug the network cable if you are paranoid). You may have to go to System Configuration to make sure memory/resource hogging programs don't load (e.g. anything referring to Itunes, Adobe reader, Microsoft Office). Look at the processes running with Task Manager and research what you can safely shut down.
    Finally consider the fundamental cause of most repeated system crashes: failing power supply or failing hard drive (if your RAM passes tests).

  • Photoshop CS6 and CC freezes in Open/Save dialog

    Photoshop is unuasable for me. I was running CS6 but it kept freezing when I tried to open a file. I uninstalled and installed CC -- same problem. I checked the preferences to see if there was a setting for an Adobe file dialog and it froze again.
    I suspect it has something to do with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 but I don't have this problem in other Adobe apps.
    Ran Disk Utility, verified permissions, verified disk -- everything checks out. Not sure what to do
    This sucks because I have a big project due this weekend

    It also could be a plugin, anti-virus or other utilities.
    Try disabling any third party plugins you have installed.
    Check the utility programs as well.
    And you can try trashing the OS prefs for the save dialog in Photoshop: com.adobe.photoshop.plist.

    I just bought a new macbook pro and my CS6 migrated, but now when I open existing documents, it launches a free trial version. There doesn't appear to be a way to enter my serial number or communicate that I simply have a new computer. HELP! There is no customer support for this. I can't believe what a poor service company Adobe is!!

    The problem was that you migrated CS6. Unfortunately, migration doesn't work because it doesn't move all the files.
    First, you'll need to use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to remove the components that were installed:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Second, you should install a clean copy of CS6. Here is a link:

  • CS6 64bit isso slow it blinks in response to every new stroke, yet still utilizes less than 2GB RAM

    Illustrator CS6 64bit is so overloaded that each time I draw a new brush stroke it responds only after a second of delay, while the area of the document where I added the brush stroke will sort of change it`s content for this duration and show some older state of the document or other gibberish, until AI has finished `processing` the new brush stroke, and then it would blink back to normal and I would be able to continue working. Despite the delay, for some reason, AI 64bit chooses to utilize no more than 2 GB of RAM.
    I do have a huge number of vector shapes in the document. My document is 1000px x 1000px and it weighs around 40MB. My machine  is a core i7 2.8 ghz with 18GB RAM 1066 running windows 7 64bit. C drive is an SSD and for Cache I have another SSD with read/write speed around 500 Mb\second out of which 20GB is reserved for windows pagefile and the other 100GB is free . Same SSD is designated as scratch disk for AI, and the AI files which I`m editing are located on this very same SSD.
    When running photoshop 64bit it will use up the available 18GB RAM according to it`s need.
    I hoped that AI 64bit would use up my RAM, too, so as to allow it to respond quicker. Why doesn`t it do so?

    Ultimately the differences between system will appear with usage and will obviously be more noticeable (or not) with not only the applications but how they are utilised.
    For many "average" users the perfomance difference between the GMA950 and the ATi X1900 XT in the Mac Pro is not even noticed. If you are however into video editing or advanced photo editing/management then then you'll find benefits with the MBP. While you are using iLife today that may not always be the case. As time progresses even iLife may make more use of the performance of the GPU.
    As for RAM, again, it comes down to usage. Even with more RAM hungry applications 2GB can be just fine as long as you don't expect to be able to run multiples of these at once. For instance, 2GB is fine to run Parallels, 2GB is more than fine to run Photoshop… but don't be thinking that it's fine to be run these concurrently. Unless you're using applications that clearly require a bucket load of RAM then the practicalities of 2GB comes simply down to your workflow. There are some users that like to have every application they have constantly up and running which makes then need a lot more RAM than otherwise.
    Be aware that speed and long term value for money is not only dependent on the obvious hardware specs. Never underestimate the value of having a clean, simple and fast software setup along with a good fast drive with a low (sub-50%) usage.
    Looking forward though, you definitely will get a longer lifespan out of a MBP. How much longer will depend on many things outside of our control, one major one being you. Think carefully as to what you're wanting to do, how you want to do it and what is important to you. Your choice might become very obvious where your needs rule out one or the other.
    Generally speaking, buy as much computing power as you can afford. This advice though does not always result in the best value for money.

  • Mail app freezes upon opening after Mavericks install

Having followed this with a force quit loop for a day, I installed airmail, a serviceable alternative, but not well integrated with address book. As such, I'm interested in finding a fix for mail app. Advice will be greatly appreciated.
