Recurring glitch when opening/making new files.

Hi All,
Firstly, I'm using Photoshop CS6 on Windows 8. I'm using a Toshiba Laptop with a GTX 630m. My graphics drivers are up to date.
Usually Photoshop works fine, but, occasionally, when I open another file, or make a new file, the new "tab" that opens up is completely blank. All of the files that I already have open work fine, but the new file is completely glitched out. I've included a screenshot of the error. No amount of zooming/resizing of the window/switching from fullscreen/etc helps. The only fix I have been able to find is to completely restart Photoshop each time this happens.
Anybody else experiencing this? I tried searching for it online, but either I'm the only one with this problem, or others that have been posting about it have been using different words to describe the problem...
Thanks!

A solid color document also takes up zero scratch space.
What he's showing is a GPU driver bug.
Update the video card driver from the GPU maker's website (not Microsoft, not the system builder).

[SOLVED] KDE switches activities when opening a new File

First off, I've been using KDE Plasma Workspaces for a few months now, and for the most part am largely satisfied. Thanks to both the developers of KDE and to the contributors on Arch who made setting everything up a breeze.
One thing that does annoy me however is how it switches Activities when opening a new file, if the default application already has a running instance. For instance, say I have one Activity which I am using as a development environment and have Kate open to view source. Now I switch to a second Activity where I am working on editing style sheets for my web page and again wish to use Kate. If I open Dolphin and click on one of my style sheets (launching Kate as the default editor) I will be switched back to my first Activity and have the style sheet opened in the already running instance of Kate.
To me this behavior is not ideal, I would rather have the DE spawn a new instance of kate for that Activity. I've perused through some of the settings options but haven't seen anything obvious.

Thanks for the response schmidtbag, but these are both suggestions for opening a file in an existing instance of Kate, when I am looking to instead spawn a new instance (at least for the current Activity). Also, these suggestions are specific to Kate, where I would like this behavior to extend across KDE.
Maybe I am just making a big fuss over nothing, but for me it seems more appropriate to spawn a new instance of a program if I click on a file from a file browser, such as Dolphin. If I wanted to open a file in an already running instance of a program I would use Ctrl+O from that program, or drag the file over to the program as schmidtbag suggested.
I'm thinking about reposting over at kde.org, I'll be sure to follow up back over here, no matter what the outcome is.

No active layers and error when opening a new file

I've been having this problem with my PS CS5 for awhile now. A little while ago I accidently pushed a shortcut, or something, though I can't remember what keys I pushed down because it was in a hurry. And since then I can't use the adjustments under Image or the filters. Everytime I try it looks like this;
And when I try to open a new file it looks like this (and I tried to open a 100px x 100px file here):
This is driving me insane, because I can pretty much do nothing right now. So please help!

Boilerplate-text:
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.

Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)

Photoshop CS3 Freezes When Opening/Creating New Files

My System: Mac OSX 10.5.8, 2.1GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo, 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
My Problem:
It seems to be that if I download print drivers Photoshop will freeze anytime I want to open or create a new file. This problem arose when I downloaded a new print driver (unfortunately after deleting several others to ensure the problem was fixed). I was able to delete the print driver resolving this issue, but now it seems to be that anytime I download a new print driver, even though these previous print drivers had been on my computer before it freezes PS again. These previous drivers had worked perfectly fine when I had PS on my system before and I can't understand why all of the sudden now PS won't work with them.

Because of a bug in the printer drivers.
Photoshop asks for basic information ("name of printer", "default page size", etc.) when creating a document.
If the printer driver has serious bugs, then it may hang or crash at this point.

Photoshop CS5 shows canvas with old image when opening a NEW file

Hi,
Everytime I try to create a new file in photoshop with FIle->New, the same last image I was working on shows in the canvas.
This is bizarre behavior. Has anyone encountered this problem?
thanks

Sounds like a buffer isn't being cleared in the display driver...
Visit the web site of the maker of your video card and download/install the latest video driver for your particular hardware and OS.

Has any encountered jumbled images when opening a new file?

When I open an image on CC 2014 it appears jumbled with various other images and random purple shapes. I had this same problem with CS6, but was hoping that when upgrading to CC 2014 the problem would resolve - it hasn't. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm working on a MAC.

Actually, I suspect you can't. You get various behaviors based on a combination of settings in Preferences > Interface; namely Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking; but it doesn't seem to make much sense as far as I can tell. Throw in the additional "application frame" wildcard on a Mac, and even just exploring the effects of the settings and drawing conclusions about them gets tricky. It sounds like you've got your windows floating, whereas I suspect many if not most users have opted for the more structured and seemingly more logical tabbed/docked method, in which case they haven't encountered your issue and don't really understand it. One might ask; if your new/current document is "in front" then what difference does it make if others behind it are minimized, maximized, or something in between?

When I click "File" and then "New" it keeps opening a new file as a layer and not a background. RGB is selected as the mode.

With new files opening as a layer and not a background I'm not able to create multiple layers and it wont let me convert the layer to the background.
How did this happen. I used PS just yesterday and had no problems. Today my computer did mandatory updates and now this.

Yes. You are using the Ellipse Tool's Pixel option. So it is laying down pixels as it is supposed to do without creating a layer.
Choose the Shape option:
Also Layer menu > New Layer creates layers and the curled paper at the bottom of your Layers palette also creates a New Layer. I hope those work.

When opening Powerpoint, the file opens outside of the screen, and I cannot use it, nor can I open a new ppt. How do I rectify this?

Usually the Window menu allows you to adjust window placement in Microsoft Office products.
If not, connect an external display or projector and change the resolution to the maximum.
Save the document with the window residing on the main screen with the Dock.
That will force it to open on the main screen in the future.

Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 program error when I place a layer or open a new file

I have just updated to the most recent PS CC2014 version. Twice, in fact, and the same problem persists. At some point while working on a file it will become impossible to place a new layer or open a new file. Other program functions work, but these will produce an error message: "Could not complete your request because of a program error." It's very frustrating and the only solution is to restart the program which will run fine for a while and then do it again.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or better still, has anyone found a solution to this issue?

I am experiencing a similiar problem.
Ever since I upgraded to CC I have received this error after using Photoshop for more than 5 mins, or trying to performing tasks such as: placing a linked file, copying and pasting, dragging and dropping an image or even using "File>Open"
I did a complete system clean install of Yosemite, and reinstalled CC completely 3 times.
Any assistance in resolving would be greatly appreciated!

Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

But it seems the OP has a setup where the media is on the external drive, and the library files are on the internal. This is what I refer to as a split library, Migrating such from one computer to another is not straightforward. Often iTunes will have some definite idea about where the files should live, and updating the setting of the media folder won't change that. If it requires a drive letter change that is usually not too hard, but sometimes there is another preference file that needs tweaking to indicate which of the old & new layouts for the library is being used. In more extreme cases I have a script for automatically making track by track repairs.

When opening more image files in CC they are floating at the back, behind current open files

When I'm working on an image or images (not docked) in PS CC on iMac OSX 10.9 Maverick, if I open a new file it does Not open at the front. The newly opened file will open hidden/behind the currently open files yet if I got to the window drop down menu at the bottom it clearly shows the newly opened file is selected and thats the file I'm working on, even though its behind all the previously opened images and I can't see it fully . Hard to explain but has anyone else found this issue? Its strange and awkward when working at full speed.
Any idea whats going on?

So in this screenshot I have 2 bed images open, then I open the office-2 image but it doesn't open on top of the bed images but behind, yet you can see from the layers & nav bar that its the office-2 image were working on.
This issue can cause problems when working fast with lots of images. previously I've accidentally closed files that weren't finished destroying history snapshots etc.
Any idea whats going on?
