Speeding up my CS5.5 windows system

Hi
I was wondering how I best would bennifit from adding a SSD disc into my system. I have a WD raptor 10k rpm disc as boot disc and 3 WD blacks 7.2k 1TB discs, but I was thinking that maybe rendering would bennifit from an SSD disc?
Thanks.
Ulf

Ulf,
A better approach would be to add another WD Black and then configure those 4 disks in two raid0 arrays. SSD's are overrated in their performance. See Adobe Forums: The SSD myth unraveled
The Sandforce controller seems to be an utter disaster when is comes to reliability and you may be lucky to achieve write speeds of 70 MB/s, far less than conventional disks, with uncompressable data like video material, if your SSD still lives. This despite their unreliable marketing claims of 500 MB/s plus.
IMO SSD's are still a no-go, even when conventional hard disks have doubled in price in the last months.

  • Installing CS5 on Windows 8

    Transfering my probrams from old laptop Win 7 to new Win 8. When I try to install Win 5, from the same files that I had installed it from on windows 7 it has the error:
    "Please try restarting your system and installing again.
    Installer failed to initialize"
    That is after a fresh reboot.
    Tried running it in combatiblity mode, no help.
    Tech support verified that it is deactivated from the old computer.
    Saw some posts on the form about downloading the program seporatly. But concerned that is a Trogen. I don't know. Don't see how to download the latest cs 5 from Adobe.
    Tried tech support and they said cs5 is no longer supported, and said the only support is on the forms.
    Have not see specific ideas what to look into in other posts in the form.
    The file I am trying to install it from is for Production Premium. All I realy want is PS and Premire. Maybe it is the installer. Where can I get just the components.
    Had heard the requirements where for a 7200 RPM drive.  I want to install it from the high capacity slow drive to the High speed SSD drive. I don't see how this would matter to the program.
    Are others using CS5 on windows 8?
    What else should I try?
    Thanks for any help

    Apparently it has installed correctly, Opened a few files, did a few edits, but need to realy put it through it's pases. I was concerned that the 64 bit version would not install if it was installed in compatiblity mode. But apparently it works fine. 
    The basics about how I installed it are:
    Downloaded it from the link suggested at prodesigntools, several steps to that, just read the instructions.
    added a shortcut for the setup program and set that to run in compatibility mode for xp sp3
    I don't know if this matters but I also right clicked on the shortcut and ran as administrator.  My normal account is admin privlaged, but took that out of the mix.
    If you are reading this probably means you are having problems. Good luck on getting them resolved.

    Looks like the first two warnings are security level warnings meaning that your silent install will not grant the correct security level for what ever reason. I suspect it needs admin level maybe?
    Here is a link. Read #8 as it has to do with silent installs. The log will give you more hints on what you did wrong.

  • PhotoShop CS5 with Windows 7 64 bits and/or Windows 7 32 bits

    Hello
    I just bought a new computer with an Intal QuadCore, 8 Gb of memory and Windows 7 - 64 bits edition    
    I plan to upgrade from a former Photoshop CS3 onWindows XP and it was a 32 bits edition         
    Is the Photoshop CS5 supported on BOTH Win 7 32 AND 64 bits ? Or are they different versions ?
    I plan to either have a dual boot Win 7 32 Bits  -    Win 7  64 bits or separate hard disk on racks, so I'll still be able to use 32 bits softwazre that don't run on 64bits
    But if PhotoShop CS5 comes in 2 versions, I need to decide which one I should buy
    Thanks for any help you vcan provide
    have a good day
    PS : Is the problem with PhotoShop CS5 running on AMD processors solved ?

    Windows 7 x64 is a separate build from Windows 7 32 bit.  Windows 7 Ultimate comes with BOTH.
    There isn't a separate package of Photoshop CS5 for 32 bit or 64 bit.  Photoshop (since CS4) installs both 32 bit and 64 bit software on a 64 bit Windows system, or only 32 bit software on a 32 bit Windows system.
    Photoshop CS5 is fine with every variant of Windows 7.
    Photoshop CS5 is reportedly fine with modern AMD processors, though I have only used Intel.
    The detailed system requirements are here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/systemreqs/
    My own (personal, subjective) opinion is that ATI (AMD) video interfaces are better than nVidia.
    Hope this answers your questions.

  • How can I diagnose an intermittent crash when saving in Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 (64bit)?

    Hello,
    I have been experiencing an intermittent crash of Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 when saving. I cannot effectively reproduce the problem and am having difficulty diagnosing the cause of the it. I have updated Photoshop to 12.0.4.0 and still experience the crash. Can someone offer advice as to how to resolve this issue? It is troublesome since I lose all my work without any means of recovery when it happens.
    Hardware:
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz
    8GB RAM
    AMD Radeon HD 5450
    Software:
    Windows 7 Home Premium Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
    Photoshop CS5 12.0.4 x64
    Thanks in advance.
    Susan

    Hunt,
    Thanks for the advice. Here is what I have done so far which has not alleviated the crashes while saving:
    Only run the application as administrator
    Clear the preferences file
    Disabled virus checking on files I am using
    Disabled virus checking on file writes (just in case the above was not enough)
    Looking at the Event Viewer, these are 3 events logged around the time of the crash (I created a view to include all events within 10 minutes of the crash). Details below (pardon the xml - it is how the event is copied out):

    I am not sure if any of these are related to my photoshop use since none of them reference the executable. Yet, maybe they are inadvertently influencing its operation? I will look at indexing settings next and keep pressing forward.

  • What do i need to uninstall and reinstall photoshop cs5 extended windows 7 32-bit?

    what do i need to uninstall and reinstall photoshop cs5 extended windows 7 32-bit?

    Photoshop CS5 Extended suddenly stopped recognizing my NVIDIA 3D card (NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800M). No 3D graphics will work in Photoshop. An Adobe online tech worked with me on it for about an hour. We concluded that I would go try to update the NVIDIA driver. The NVIDIA website is frustrating. The boxes to input my card model and system do not work.
    Nawang uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop (my question below was about how to do that, but he did it for me and that did not help.)
    My card is 3D capable. I used Repousse 3D effect two days ago and it worked fine. Now it is not working, all 3D controls are grayed out.

    You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
    Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
    You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.

  • Can I run CS5 on windows 8?

    I' m looking for a new computer and it will have windows 8 on it. My question is, runs my CS5 on this system?

    It will run, but there may be issues. Beyond that there is no point in asking for further details. CS5 comes from a time when Win 8 didn't exist and was never tested on it. Any problems you may encounter will have to be resolved as you go along, but at the same time you may not see any issues at all. Depends too much on the specific configuration of your hardware.

  • Insatallation von Adobe CS5 auf Windows Server 2008 R2

    Hallo miteinander!
    Hat jemand schon Erfahrungen gemacht mit der Installation von Adobe CS5 auf Windows Server 2008 R2/ Remote Desktop host? Auch im Hinblick auf den Einsatz von Virenscannern?
    Über jeden Tipp/ link/ Hinweis/ Anregung usw. bin ich dankbar.
    Vielen Dank im Voraus.

    I was able to figure out a solution.
    CAUSE:
    It appears that the Internet isn’t fully up to date and ready to use EDns -- which is enabled on Windows Server 2008 R2 by default. The solution for this is to disable Edns. Note that this isn’t
    a problem for most Windows Server 2008 R2 member servers.  It’s only a problem for DNS *servers* that do recursive lookups.  i.e. likely only your domain controller will be affected if that is where your DNS Server role exists.
    SOLUTION:
    To disable EDns, you can do it from the command prompt, or by editing the registry.
    Create a DWORD called EnableEDNSProbes and set to 0 in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\DNS\Parameters
    Restart the DNS Server service for it to take effect.

  • InDesign crashes every time you double click to open an .indd file on Windows system

    InDesign crashes every single time you double click to open an InDesign file and has done so since replacement of the original version of InDesign introduced in the Creative Cloud launch.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I'd say it was unique to my system if I hadn't experienced the issue repeatedly on several different systems now.  You have to relaunch InDesign which then opens the file from recovery, so it saw the file you tried to launch in the first place.  This leads me to believe the problem lies with the file association registry of InDesign inside Windows systems.  I find it unbelievable that this problem still exists and remains unreported and that a solution hasn't been implemented by Adobe to rectify the issue.
    The double click is a fundamental tenant of opening files on a Windows system in the same way a single click is on a Mac.  Does InDesign crash ever time a Mac user clicks to open their files, I think not.
    Anyone got any ideas other than the obvious which is Adobe actually got their figure out and fixed it.
    Cheers,
    Pat Doyle

    Hi Michael,
    I'll give it a go.  Don't really like messing with the registry on Windows boxes.  Yes you can do it, but it can end up being a case of the operation was a success, but the patient died.
    Just was rather hoping someone else had already experienced this problem and posted the registry tweak.  Didn't want spend hours reinventing the wheel.  Not because I'm lazy, but I have so many demands on my time that resolving a minor issue that effects me only seems like it should be pretty low priority.
    The system I'm using is brand new, but the problem seems to have followed me regardless which may indicate that it is seated in my synchronization information somehow.  Really don't know how that could happen as I'm not an Adobe engineer or have the remotest idea where to even start looking.  So I think I'll mark your suggestion as the "Answer" and just learn to live with it.
    Windows eh! Can't live with - can't live without it.  I'm sure Mac can be just as temperamental. Just have to chalk this one up as being just another ghost in the machine.
    Thanks for all the advice you have kindly offered, much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Pat Doyle

  • Installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

    Hi,
    Just wanted to know if there are any problems installing Adobe Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit?
    Planning to purchase a laptop that comes with the OEM license and plan to use 64-bit OS to maximize the 8GB RAM of memory. Just afraid if there are known issues for this type of installations.
    Thanks

    No issues.
    On the contrary, subject to the image(s) being edited, Photoshop will thrive in a 64 bit Win 7 machine given the right tweaks.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html
    Be aware that two versions of Photoshop will be installed 32 bit and 64 bit. The 32 bit is there for legacy reasons with some plugins e.g. TWAIN scanner

  • Problem opening Bridge CS5 in Windows 7

    When I open Bridge CS5 in Windows 7, I get a pop-up window from User Account Contro that asks "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?"  The program listed is Bridge.  If I say NO, Bridge doesn't open.  If I say YES, Bridge opens normally.  This question pops up every time I open Bridge but not with any other CS5 applications or any other program.  Any suggestions?  Thanks,

    This is a permissions issue within the OS.  Next time you start Bridge right click on the icon and select "run as administrator" and choose yes.  Perhaps it will stick that way.
