Small issue with CS3 / CS4 in Vista 64

Hello,
Recently made the move from XP 32 to Vista 64 and I'm having
issues with CS3 and CS4 when it comes to inserting images and/or
browsing for background images in a CSS file.
The first issue I have is where the cursor starts out. See
the image below:
http://img391.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps1hb9.png
Currently when the select image dialog appears, my cursor is
nowhere to be found. This is easy enough to get around with the
n key but annoying none the less.
My second issue is more upsetting. When I type in the name of
a folder (for example the Downloads folder from the previous
picture) and press the enter key, a strange character followed by a
colon and a backslash is added (:\). The character changes but the
colon and backslash is always the same.
See:
http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps2cm6.png
This never happened on XP32 but for some reason Vista (and I
tried out server 2008 as well) 64 bit causes this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mike

Zoodia, do you have the same problem with Vista 32 and what
version of vista do you have?
Or does nayone else has the same problem with Vista and
please include version and 32 or 64 bits.
thanks

Initial issues with PS CS4 Extended Windows XP Pro.

Initial issues with PS CS4 Extended Windows XP Pro.
CS3 worked just fine but had many issues with Bridge CS3. So frustrating that the $$ to upgrade to CS4 seem worth it. Mostly works OK with the following exceptions:
1. Sometimes the file menu selections are non-selectable grey including fundamental functions like Open and Exit not even clicking on the x will allow PS to close! I found a workaround, I can select a tool that is not currently selected (like the crop or brush) and now the menu items appear.
2. The Arrange Documents drop down menu is blank except for the lower text portion. All icons are missing. Roll over text popup shows what is supposed to be on the menu but no icons.
3. I have setup Bridge CS4 to auto start at logon. Works OK but sometimes for whatever reason stays busy after I close. Task Manager shows Bridge using up to 25% of CPU time and the program is not even open!
5. I purchased a couple Canon EOS 50Ds as backup cameras for our business. Worked last week with CS3 and Bridge with Raw 4.6 upgrade. Does not work with RAW 5.0 in CS4bummer!

I had the same problem with blank/missing "Arrange Documents" icons. And I use NIK and OnOne plugins (CS4 & Vista). These plugins are all supposed to be compatible with CS4 and I use them ALOT - so I refused to remove them. Today I also started having a problem with an error re: needing to install a printer before I could select print functions.
I found the answer to both problems!! While researching the error message I found information from Adobe support stating that you should:
1. Quit Photoshop
2. Vista: Rename the Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp file to Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.old
Windows XP path: Documents and Settings/[username]/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp
3. Start Photoshop - it will create a new preferences file.
My print error message is gone AND I have Arrange Documents icons!!!

Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
Here is what I am working with:
Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
6Gigs RAM
3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files. The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen. The system has slowed down to almost a standstill. Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze. I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times. The program also freezes on startup frequently.
No other programs are running. When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete. The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge. It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed. Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to make an AIDrawArtAGMPort on Windows with CS3, CS4 and CS5

Hi
I want to use the function DrawArt of AIDrawArtSuite.
To use this function, I must have an AIDrawArtGWorld or an AIDrawArtAGMPort or an AIDrawArtAGMPoirtV6 object.
With CS6 SDK, this suite provides a mean to instantiate an AIAGMPort.
With CS3, CS4 and CS5 this function doesn't exist.
On MacOS X, I can build AIDrawArtGWorld.
On Windows, I don't know how to do it.
On Windows how can I make an AIDrawArtAGMPort object ?

Several issues with CS3

I have several issues with CS3. When I used Contribute 2 I
had no problems with the following.
1. I've imported from Word & copy & pasted but when I
align photos left, text on right and then publish, the pages goes
kookie and all out of alignment
2. Not able to resize/change color of text on master page but
am able to only when I make a new page
3. I get spaces between lines when I don't want them and
can't get spaces or move text over when I want to
4. I noticed that on my edit pages, sometimes the content
changes font size but it's okay when published
Can anyone help ? Thanks

That's right. If you type text and select one of the
available styles, fine.
But, as soon as you try to change color, font size, or any
other attribute,
Contribute will create a new style all on it's own.

I looked at your style sheet. You only have white and black
as font colors.
The red color is a result of a Contribute-created style
(style 4) in one
instance and a font tag in another instance.

The code doesn't really look all that good. For instance, on
the Conference
page, it looks like, for the photo cutline, you simply hit
the space bar to
move the text over to try to center the cutline below the
photo. You -could-
just create a centered style or tell Contribute to center
that paragraph and
it should create a centered style for you.
When I paste from a Word doc, I try to paste as unfomatted
text.

Help on small issues after WinXP downgrade from Vista

Lenovo 3000 v200
I recently downgraded from Vista to WinXP Professional, and I must say I'm much happier with XP.
Some issues on the install: although I downloaded all drivers from the Lenovo site, the install didn't work from my usb floppy drive.
It recognized the floppy on the F6 portion of the install, but then later it kept asking for the disk to be inserted (it was already in the drive). Workaround was to install by changing to "compatibility mode" in the BIOS, and after install, loading all drivers and changing BIOS back to SATA.
All features of the laptop appear to work perfectly; camera, fingerprint reader, wifi, etc.
HOWEVER: in the device manager, there are 3 yellow exclamation points in the "Other Devices" section, and each of them is labeled "Base System Device." Does anyone know what these are? Why are they not recognized as specific devices? LenovoCare doesn't recognize them either, and I have no idea what drivers to attempt to install for mystery devices.
Also, "Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus" won't install. I have the current driver, and I've tried updating from LenovoCare, but no luck. As I don't use a modem, this seems irrelevant, but I'd like to install it just the same if possible.
Finally, the LenovoCare recognized a need to install a "Hotkey" update, and it claims to successfully install, but everytime I run LenovoCare it says I need it again. Any comments or observations?
Again, the computer works just fine even with these small issues. In fact, it is better than fine; it is a joy to use and a real speed demon with XP instead of Vista. So I'm not trying to do any rocket science or potentially screw up a very nice situation, but I am trying to iron out these small nuisances.
Thanks to all of you who consider my trivial problems. I really appreciate having knowledgable individuals like yourselves help out a very modestly skilled, but reasonably ambitious user.
Cheers,
Fred

Hello Fred,
I created a blog on this forum called.... "I Explain How To Downgrade From Vista To XP Successfully On A 3000 N100 Laptop" Locate this message and read through it. Try the "Auto Detect This System" I Talk about. It will load the latest drivers and the latest...BIOS..... for your particular model if you have not already upgraded it. You did not mention if you had upgraded your BIOS...... if your running an "OLD" version.... THIS..... could be your problem.

Should I buy a new MBP? (Lots of small issues with mine)

Hi,
There are a number of small but irritating problems with my MBP. Talking with a friend who has had her macbook into apple service 3 times now for replacements a lot more serious than my problems, I'm sure Apple won't replace the computer. A friend who has bought a couple MBPs now (later week version) has had very little problem with his.
Specifically, the issues I'm having are as follows:
1) CPU whine (I know this can't be fixed)
2) Fan "moo"/clunk. The computer sounds like a small helicopter at times and at the best of times is always noisy..
3) Heat issues - using the comp anywhere but on a flat surface (i.e. on my lap) and it heats up intensely. I know this is an issue with all computers, but compared to my powerbook it's night and day.
4) Lag Issues. Doing ANYTHING takes a "long" time. I need to reformat but from opening firefox to booting up the computer or even sometimes mousing over the icon tray.
5) Red headphone led. My internal speakers no longer work. I've read the problem has something to do with the headphone jack being stuck. Some fixes I've read include using a match stick, plugging in the headphones again (doesn't work).
6) My display flickers slightly now also. Seems to synch with the fan "moo"ing.
I'm using macintosh now because I like avoiding hassles. I switched from PC a few years ago after going through lots of issues and the powerbook was AWESOME. I'm assuming the macbookpro is going to eventually stabilize and work well also, is it there yet? Shall I buy a new one and just dump the current or will it be the same thing all over?
Macbook Pro / 12" Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for all the advice, it's appreciated. Particularly the advice to go down to the mac store and talk to a guru. I'm going to do that tomorrow.
I've been able to tolerate things up until the latest bug, the fan now periodically starts spinning like a helicopter. It's way beyond anything I've dealt with.. I can't listen to music it's so loud and it disturbs anyone else around (clearly needs a fix).
I can't send it in to be repaired as I can't do without a computer for that long. This said I thought to connect the new and old machine and copy the most important files over.
(No I won't dump this lemon on someone else without letting them know about the issues. It may well be worthwhile to someone willing to nurse it through the various mac warranty & update issues. Eventually they may well end up with a new MBP).

Screen display issue with InDesign CS4 (Windows)

I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4. I can open and use InDesign with no problems, until I try to switch to another application. Then, when I try to go back to InDesign, all I can see is the portion of the bar at the top of the screen that shows the link to Bridge, the view options and a bit of the outline of a palette or two. I have a two monitor setup. Most of the palettes are on the auxillary monitor and they show up just fine. The main display is where I'm having the issue. I can toggle in and out of Photoshop with no display issues. I haven't tried working with anything else from the CS4 package besides InD and Photoshop. This was not an issue with any CS2 product (Dreamweaver, Fireworks, InDesign, Photoshop, Flash). Nor has it been an issue with any of the other software I am running (so far).
When the display vanishes, I can see the "data" from the program I was trying to toggle out of. For example, if I try to toggle between this page and InD right now, I can see most of this page except for the part of the page obscured by the outline of the control palette (that one reminiscent of pagemaker) and the little bits at the top. I can't see the project I'm working on. I can't see the File/Edit/etc. bar at the top of the page. A Control/Shift/Save will lock up the program completely. Then, I see the "save as" menu box (in addition to the browser screen around it) but the program is locked up. I can close everything on the computer and reboot and open InDesign to resume work--that is until I need to do something like edit a photo to drop into a layout. Then the issue occurs all over again.
Windows machine; XP Pro, service pack 3 build 2600; NVidea GeForce 9600 GT graphics card.

Bob, thanks for the info about the 6.0.2 patch. I'll try grabbing that today. This morning, on the first boot, I can't even see the program when I open it--just the snip of the command palette and part of the very top bar. Very irritating.
Peter, I have tried maximizing, closing, reopening, etc. everything else I can think of. Same issue. I finally just bit the bullet and went back to CS2, rebuilding the current project so I can get the work done by deadline. I'll look for new video drivers this afternoon after I get back on track timewise on this newsletter. Weird that this display issue should just affect the one Adobe program though, and not the others if it is a video driver problem. I didn't do a lot of work in Dreamweaver--just enough to see if it displayed the same weird behaviour. Nope. Nor does Photoshop. Nor does Bridge. Nor does Acrobat. nor does any other software on the machine.

Having 2 small issues with 10.4.3 interface - shift click & control click

I am having two issues with 10.4.3 on my mom's computer.
1) I Control-Click the mouse and I do get a shortcut menu on the desktop, on icons, etc. How can I get this back? I can not seem to find a preference that sets this.
2) I am in iPhoto and would like to select multiple film rolls (consecutive rolls) by clicking the first and then clicking the last one that I would like and it is working like I am comand clicking and only selecting the two rolls that I have clicked on and not the ones in between.
Any help in how to work this out would be great.
Happy Turkey Day!

Do you have any third-party items in:
/Library/Contextual Menu Items/
/Users/YourUsername//Library/Contextual Menu Items/
If you do, try dragging them onto your Desktop and then retry control-clicking.

Print issue with Photoshop CS4 and Officejet 6500

I have a Windows 7 Business 64 bits desktop computer. After installing the Officejet Pro 6500 multifunctional drivers all was working OK. Images were being printed nice and with the correct size using Windows print option. After installing Adobe CS4 suite, all images printed from windows or Photoshop have incorrect size (photoshop prints it smaller, about 33%, and on upper left corner of the sheet).
Photoshop sucks but Illustrator print fine. The only way I can print at the good size in Photoshop, it's when I select Microsoft XPS document writer as printer and print from there... Not very user friendly !!!
And yes, it was always the HP Officejet 6500 E709n fax selected by default by Photoshop instead of HP Officejet 6500 E709n !
Is anybody can say if it's an HP issue or an Adobe issue ??? Why Illustrator print fine and Photoshop don't ???
Thank's in advance.

Deleting the fax printer associated with this device to allows correct printing is not an acceptable alternative for me.
If it is a printer issue, why I can print correctly from Illustrator ???
dec9 wrote:
Or: you can go into windows and select a default printer or then the one you use to print with in PS. Then when you are ready to print in PS select the printer. See if that works.
That's my normal configuration then I can't change nothing when all is ok.
Thank you very much for your answer ! Maybe anybody have an other solution or explanation.
Thank's for your patience.

Cleanup Utility for CS3 CS4 on Vista 64-bit

I am in the process of uninstalling CS4 in hopes of solving some issues. Premiere and AE stall when opening up either program. In doing so, I have sufficiently confused myself, so I need a step-by-step guide. I ran the Windows uninstaller, but some Adobe components are still there. When I first upgraded from CS3 to CS4, the installer left all of the CS3 apps on my computer. I am not sure if that is a problem, but I would like to get rid of CS3 to eliminate more confusion. CS4 does no include Audition OnLocation, or Ultra, which I would like to keep.
I have read somewhere about an Adobe cleanup script and a Windows cleanup, but I have not found them online anywhere. Will someone provide me a link to the Cleanup Scripts and instructions on whatever I need to do a clean install of CS4?
I disconnected the Matrox MX02 Mini and I will need to know when to re-connect it (before or after installing CS4?)
Attached is a list of all the Adobe Apps still installed after running the control panel's uninstaller.
Should I remove these with the Windows Clean up Utility? Is it safe to remove everyting with the name "Adobe"?
I just want a clean install of CS4.
