PS CS6 Locks up in Windows when I access Preferences or System Info in Help

I reset preferences, deactivated then reinstalled PS CS6 and CS6 64bit same issue. If I open PS CS6 (not x64) I can access preferences without a problem. I'm running windows 8 64bit. Everything else in x64 works normally (editing ect). Edit>Preferences>Camera Raw works. Anything else I choose in Preferences and PS freezes and I have to End Task in Task Manager. Any ideas ?

Problem solved (sort of). More of a work around.
If I start PS CS6 X64 then open Task Manager and select sniffer gpu and end task everything works fine. I've tried removing the sniffer gpu file from the folder as others suggested,then open PS then it freezes again. I put it back and then just end process in TM and all works.

  • CS5 closes when opening system info in help

    I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I have CS5 b4 bit. When I open system info in help I get an error message that there is a problem with CS5 and it will now close. Any suggestions as to what is wrong and how to fix it?

    Probably the usual issues with bad graphics drivers... Turn off OpenGL in teh prefs and update your driver, then try again. Could of course also be some plug-in or other driver e.g. for a scanner or printer....

  • Locking out one window when bringing up another.

    I have an application that has a GUI interface and that application calls another class that also brings up a window where the user enters some parameters. When the second window is displayed I would like to lock the user out of the 1st window so that can not use it untill they have finished with the second window. How do I do this.

    Yes you can!
    A Dialog is a Container and a Choice is a Component so you can therefore add a Choice to a Dialog.
    You have to
    Construct the Dialog
    Set the layout manager on the Dialog
    Construct the Choice
    add the Choice to the Dialog
    Make the Dialog visible, using setVisible(true)
    If you are using Swing, use a JDialog but don't use Choice as it is an AWT Class.
    Hope this helps

  • Illustrator CS6 crashes ,on my mac, when I use the gradient tool. Any help out there?

    My illustrator cs6 crashes when I use the gradient tool. I'm using a mac with mac os 10.9.3.
    This driving me mad... any help out there?

    mr.roo,
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Premiere Pro CS6: Project Panel Search Disabled When Media is Not on System Drive

    Hello
    I'm new to Premiere Pro CS6. It's awesome!
    I have some media I use in a project that is stored on another internal hard drive. This is a secondary 1TB drive.
    I started to notice pretty quickly that the Project Panel search is disabled for assets residing on this secondary drive.
    As a test I linked to some media on my Macintosh HD (root drive). The Project Panel Search was available during this test.
    When not available, the Project Panel Search is dimmed. No errors or other feedback.
    Is there something I can do to enable Project Panel search for media which is kept off my Macintosh HD? I would prefer to keep my work files on my secondary drive.
    Hardware:
    MacPro (Mid 2010)
    Mac OS 10.7.5
    24 GB RAM
    1x2TB and 1x1TB hard drives
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello PHA 1 ,
    I had the same problem, go down to the panel below the project panel and if it is on "effects" change it to "info" or vice versa.
    Magicaly your search will not be greyed out and you can type in what your looking for.
    I have no idea what one has to do with the other but that is the solution for now

  • When I close Photoshop CS6, the following message appears: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

    When I quit Photoshop CS6, the following message appears:
    " Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file.

    I have checked the Sharing and Permissions section of the "Get Info" panel accessed from the Finder and I have set Read and Write Privileges for my user account for Photoshop CS6. System and Admin are also set to Read and Write.
    I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.9.5 and have all available updates for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5 and Bridge CS6.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 locking up

    I am using Dreamweaver CS6, Version 12 with WIndows 8.1
    Creating a dynamic web site following David Powers tutorial at Building your first dynamic website – Part 2: Developing the back end | Adobe Developer Connection
    (Which gives you an idea of my level expertise)
    I am modifying the forms to suit my needs but otherwise no changes to David's instructions
    I am the stage where I have built the add, manage, update and delete forms and added the various Server Behaviours. Everything works as it should on testing.
    Problem
    Next stage is to create edit and delete links.
    I select Edit from the page that lists all records (manage_posts in tutorial)
    Select URL from Select File box
    Click on Parameters from File box
    Enter be_index (the primary key of the records) in the Name box
    Click on Value lightning bolt
    Dreamweaver totally locks up. Need to use Task Manager to close it down and regain control.
    I have tried re-installing Dreamweaver, and deleting cache as suggested elsewhere on this site, to no avail. Database appears OK when examined with phpMyAdmin.
    I have tried hand coding using the line
            <td><a href="update_records.php?be_index=<?php echo $row_rs_benefactions['be_index']; ?>">Edit</a></td>
    but it doesn't do what it is supposed to do i.e. create line of code that points too each record's primary key.
    I would appreciate any help to overcome this solid barrier.
    Many thanks

    Maybe this should be a new post but it is is closely linked to my first post in this thread so I am adding it here.
    The original (edited down) question was
    Creating a dynamic web site following David Powers tutorial at Building your first dynamic website – Part 2: Developing the back end | Adobe Developer Connection
    Snip.
    Next stage (following tutorial) is to create edit and delete links. I select EDIT from the page that lists all records (manage_posts in tutorial)
    Select URL from Select File box, click on Parameters from File box, enter the primary key of the records in the Name box.
    Click on Value lightning bolt. Dreamweaver totally locks up. Need to use Task Manager to close it down and regain control.
    What it should do is insert a line in the pages code -
    <td><a href="update_benefactions_record.php?be_index=<?php echo $row_rsBenefactions[`be_index`];?>">EDIT</a></td>
    Since trying to insert this code via the DW facility locks everything up, I tried entering the line by hand.
    According to the tutorial what this should do is select the appropriate record from the record listing table and show the entire record in the updating page.
    i.e If I select the 3rd record, using Live view I should see the code
    <td><a href="update_benefactions_record.php?be_index=3">EDIT</a><</td>
    Unfortunately I don't, so I am completely stalled.
    (PS to Nancy O - thanks for pointing me towards WebAssist. Purchased and working well).

  • I just had another issue with cs6 locking up.

    I just had another issue with cs6 locking up.  This time, I was in cs6 beta working on an image, I went to file/open to open another existing file in photoshop, and when the finder window popped up to select a .jpg to open up, the cursor wouldn't respond to the finder window that was opened up, and I couldn't close it out, and I had to force quite cs6.

    If I'm reading this correctly, your last kernel panic (that's what these are called) occured six months ago.  Is that correct?  It probably does not have anything to do with the number of windows you have open; I suspect it has to do with one of the third party kexts or non-apple hardware.  My guess would be something with parallels (is the software up to date?), but if you're only getting panics at 6 month intervals it's really hard to diagnose. 
    Kernel panics aren't fun, but they aren't the end of the world.  make sure you keep regular backups, and if you can figure out how to replicate the panic at a more frequent interval we can figure it out. 

  • CS6 locks up

    CS6 locks up when I open a RAW file.  Doesn't matter how I open the file.  Other files open fine.  This just started happening and I haven't changed anything on my PC.  I'm running Windows 7 and have plenty of RAM. 

    Have you installed all the updates to Photoshop and ACR?
    What kind of CPU are you using?

  • How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1

    How to get Caps lock indicator in windows 8.1   ???
    i am using wireless keyboard KG 1061

    Hi bhargav0,
    I understand you would like a caps lock indicator in Windows 8.1. I admit, I don't know of any fix that simply shows you on the screen, but there is an auditory warning that you can implement if that would be of help to you. Take a look at the following video, Windows® 8.1: Make the Caps Lock key beep when pressed. I hope this will be of use to you. Have a great day.

  • I deactivated my CS6 and uninstalled on my PC, so I could install CS6 on a Mac. I downloaded CS6 on my Mac, but when I try and put in my serial number it's is telling me that the number is invalid.  What else can I do?

    I deactivated CS6 and uninstalled on my PC, so I could install CS6 on a Mac. I downloaded  CS6  on my Mac, but when I try to put my serial number in it's telling me the number is invalid.  What should I do next?

    IIRC PS CS6 is not Cross platform. It takes a different license key code for each platform. A License key for Windows won't work on a Mac and a key for a Mac won't work on Windows. You'll need to buy another copy/License for Mac OS X.
    At one time Adobe did allow you to switch platforms by paying them some money and getting a Mac license key code which I think then Deactivated the Windows license key.
    IIRC the CC version does allow you to install on EITHER platform. But only one platform at a time. You can't have one copy on Windows and another on a Mac. Adobe does allow you to install on 2 computers with one license key but it must be on the same platform (Operating System) and both computers and or install of PS CC can't be used at the same time.
