The nVidia 258.96 drivers crash Photoshop CS4 (64bit)

I have the latest nVidia drivers installed yesterday and I noticed that PS CS4 crashes within 15minutes of use (by crashing the display driver and then crashing itself). Any solutions for this issue? I am an advanced user (11years of PC usage and IT-student for 5 years etc.) so this is either PS or nVidia driver issue, have posted about this now to both manufactor forums. I try next to just disable the GL acceleration from PS settings for possible temp. solution for this. Would love to know what's causing this.
PS. The gfx card temps are fine etc.
Related specs:
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
ASUS P5Q Deluxe mobo
E8500 @ 4ghz cpu
MSI GTX 275 gfx card
4gb of ram

As a workaround try the various Advanced OpenGL options. There was a time a long while back when I was using CS4 and a (then-current) older driver set, and as I recall switching to Basic OpenGL settings helped me work around a problem that was later fixed in newer drivers.
I've noticed that OpenGL implementations are pretty actively being maintained by all the video card makers in the time after Photoshop CS4 and CS5 released. It's good that a serious application has put some real pressure on the driver makers to tidy up the software. OpenGL is actually getting to where you can rely on it now.

Photoshop CS4 64bit Slow on a Dell Covet M6400

hello all,
i have patiently read all the posts on the forum about the slow issues and supossedly how to fix them (kapersky etc..). I have yet to be able to configure photoshop cs4 64bit to run smoothly..

cs4 64 should run like a dream on this machine... it doesn't..
What problems i get.
General refresh issues, lag, panels done't minimise maximise smoothly, can't drag layers smoothly from one document tab to another. When i try and close the document tabs they take ages to close. When i open nvidia control panel in tandem to having photoshop open to see whats going on the animated logo jitters and does not rotate smoothly when i move my mouse over it...
What i have done to try and solve the issues.
Uninstalled and re installed numerous times.
Uninstalled and re installed Dell's nvidia driver and other drivers from laptopvideo2go.
Unistalled eset node 32 64bit
Changed gpu setting in performance menu...
CS3 runs ok though...
please please please does anybody have any ideas on what may be the cause..?
many many thanks i'd be more than happy to test anything you have to try and sort out these issues. the 3700m is nvidias flagship mobile workstation card and photoshop should rock on it...

It seems when i do something simple as typing text, it'll stop working and give me a "Adobe Photoshop suddenly stop working". My CS4 32bit version seems to working fine with whatever i'm working on. I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit Ultimate on a new computer Intel quad core with 4gig of ram if that helps. Sorry if this have been asked before but i couldn't find anything on these forums. Thanks in advance.

i deleted the prefs file and now i can open photoshop. but it seems as if it crashes if i open ANY file with ANY text, no matter what the font is.

Where can I get Photoshop CS4 64bit?

I've seen a lot of people talking about Photoshop CS4 64bit native code, but I can't figure out where to get it.
I'm currently using Windows XP, but plan to upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64bit in a week or two. I'm going to reload all my programs from scratch and would like to start with the 64bit version of Photoshop CS4.
I purchased the standard Photoshop CS4 CD from Adobe, but I don't remember seeing anything about the 64bit version when I initially loaded the 32bit version on WinXP 32bit. Maybe I didn't see anything because I don't have a 64bit system yet.
I have Googled and looked for this information in Adobe's Knowledgebase with no luck...
Thanks...

Plugin Dialog not visible in Photoshop CS4 64bit

Hi all,
I am new in the world of photoshop plugins. I am using adobe photoshop CS4 64bit environment.
I have converted a 32bit plugin into a 64bit plugin. I have succesfully loaded the plugin .
Now my problem is when i click on the pluginName from the menu list, my plugin dialog is not visible. I am using DialogBoxParam API to show the
dialog within the "DoUI" method but this API(DialogBoxParam) is returning an error value. I have used the GetLastError and got the below mentioned
error:
Error 1813: The specified resource type can not be found in the image file.
The 32bit plugin is running succesfully with this dialog resource. I am using the same .rc file which i am using in 32 bit plugin.
Please help me, it is very urgent for me..
Thanks in advance.. Any type of help is highly appreciated. If anybody has any problem in understanding my problem please revert me back i will try to
make it more clear

Hi,
I think i have not described my problem well..
I'll try it again to make it more clear..
I have a 32 bit filter plugin, which is running successfully on Photoshop CS4 32-bit environment. Now i want my plugin to be run on CS4 64bit environment as well. When i tried to run my plugin in the 64-bit environment with all the 64-bit settings which are required, my plugin is not loaded succesfully. Then i used a sample 64-bit plugin(Dissolve) and put my plugin code inside dissolve plugins code. Changed the dissolve.r file with my plugin .r file and dissolve.rc file with my plugin .rc file. Now my plugin is loading succesfully but when i click the plugin from filter menu list, my plugin dialog is not shown. I do not understand why is it happening? Plz provide some information.
Regards

Flash panels crashing Photoshop CS4

Flash panels crash Photoshop CS4 under the following conditions:
1. The "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is activated under Edit > Preferences > Interface.
2. The flash panel is collapsed to an icon.
3. You click on the panel icon to display it and run a filter plugin from the flash panel.
The crash happens when you run the filter plugin from the panel or after you click OK on the plugin dialog. Sometimes the crash happens after the plugin was applied and you do something else in Photoshop.
I was able to reproduce the problem with my own ThePluginSite panel and the Blow-Up panel of Alienskin.
If the "Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels" option is deactivated, there is no crash.
Can this problem be fixed in Version 11.02 of Photoshop CS4?

What does this have to do with the SDK? Does it crash in a plugin that you wrote using the SDK?
Or are you just trying to report a bug in the flash panel code? If so, use the normal bug report form, and include details so we can work with Alien Skin to resolve the problem.

I've had very little trouble in two years. And now I do like Windows 7 but also eager for the RC.
I've been using the latest Nvidia. There is a method to the madness of how to uninstall/delete and install graphics drivers, or madness in the method. The W7 drivers are easier.
Nope. Something else. More sensitive to disk errors. You aren't running a program to boost fans. Something.
And some AV software is more prone to causing trouble. But all you need is a good AV/malware program, and even Norton AV 2009 is acceptable, or Avast or one of the others.

Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

Hello again,
Is it safe to update the nVidia graphics drivers for WinXP on Bootcamp?

YES we are both stating the same thing however in different terms. You will be fine with the updates that you are talking about. Just ensure that the drivers that you are updating match the make/model of your graphics adapter.
If something doesn't work out then you can always revert back to the previous driver.

Photoshop CS4 64bit crash at launch

Afternoon everyone! I know this might be a dead horse getting beaten again, but after searching the forums I couldn't find a situation that matches mine.
I am currently running Photoshop CS4, latest update to 11.0.2. Until about 2 days ago I was running 64bit version photoshop. I came into work the next morning and the computer was completely hung. I did a hard restart, and since then I can only use Photosop CS4 32bit. Every time I try to launch 64bit Cs4, this is the windows crash error I get:

I know this is not related to plugins, because I don't run plugins on my work computer. In fact, the largest files I use are usually 3000x3000, and under 4-5mb. I'm not pushing Photoshop at all. Any ideas?
I have tried doing a clean install 2x times with no luck. I'm wondering if something is stuck in registry or old files from a previous install are causing this? I have also made sure I'm updated with all my other related drivers: ATI graphics card up to date, etc.
Ideas?

Generally speaking, you should see no errors (just a whole lot of informationals). Probably the best thing is to just scan through the log using the time stamps to limit the entries to those that occurred around the time of the problem.
Might be a good time to open up the computer and clean out the dust (e.g., gently with a vacuum and brush nozzle). Overheating can reduce reliability. Does the room get hot (e.g., because the A/C is turned off) at any time of the day?

Photoshop CS4 (64bit) - crash at startup

OS: vista 64bit (all latest updates)
nvidia 8800gts 512 (driver 180.48)
8 gb RAM + latest mobo bios
It was working totally fine then WHAM! I noticed it first when i minimized it to the taskbar to look for some other files on my desktop. now it suddenly doesn't want to start. the 'only' thing is that the pc went into hibernation while i was at lunch a few times this week (can't see that having an effect)
I start it up and it crashes +/- after 8 seconds. EVERY time.
- Tried using the "run as admin" = didn't work (tried it just in case)
- tried changing a few settings in nvidia control panel = nada!
- once i got it open within the 8 seconds, I turned off openGL completly = nada!
- I've used the "DisallowOpenGLWindows_OFF.reg" just in case and that doesn't work either. (its a pretty recent GFX card)
all other cs4 apps (master suite) are working fine!
this exact same thing happened just before i reinstalled vista x64 about a month ago.
anyone got this problem? any solutions?
Pete

Ok I've spent the last few hours going through ALL my custom fonts and trying to find what was causing the problem. I typed out all of the characters on my keyboard and cycled through my fonts from top to bottom.
I'm a guitarist also, and I discovered the culprit to be guitar pros "Guitar Pro 5.ttf" - must be a glyph problem in the font that photoshop couldn't handle (as i said before...no problems with the rest of my CS4)....although the problem was the guitar pro font, photoshop kept crashing on other STANDARD installed fonts such as Arial, georgia, corbel....until i removed the guitar pro one. man this was a pain to locate!!!
now the weirdest thing is it only started happening yesterday. both programs have been installed side by side for over a month without issue. what gives?
photoshop SHOULD have a popup whenever this problem occurs (similar to illys missing font dialogue) for font exclusions if they stop it from running.
saying something like:
b "Photoshop CS4 has failed to load "name of font.ttf".
Do you want to:
- Add font to exclusion list?
- uninstall the font?
while I'm on the subject, is there a way to make the CS4 suite point at a font directory other than the default (C:\Windows\Fonts)?
as I don't ever use those fonts in MS office or any other program. with the BONUS of not loading all these fonts at startup.

Move tool crashes Photoshop CS4

Hey =]
I have quite a large problem with PS CS4,
Whenever I use the move tool, I get the message "Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I'm running Vista 32-Bit.
It worked fine until about a week ago when I de-fragged my HDD, I've tried Uninstalling and then Re-Installing, no luck.
So I tried to delete my preferences, again nothing, so then I tried resetting the tool preferences, once again, no luck =/
I also tried Installing my old copy of CS3 and the same problem occurred.
I have the latest version of CS4, my drivers are up to date and so is my version of Windows.
Any Ideas? They'll be much appreciated.
Thanks =]

What is crashing photoshop cs4

anyone know how I can find out what is causing photoshop to crash? is the crash report worth looking at? IS there a resource for interpreting crash reports? Is it worth contacting adobe support? Photoshop cs2 was my most rock-steady application. I could go weeks without it crashing. CS4 is crashing several times a day. My system is reasonably robust, I have tested my memory and hard drive integrity.
Edit: open GL is turned off (and I'm using most recent drivers). I also suffer from degraded performance after an hour or so of use, cured by restarting photoshop.
EDIT: continually crashed at the same point (new group form layers), then on adding a layer. Opened doc in CS2, it complained of uknown data and stripped away some layers, but I couldn't see any difference in the appearance of the doc (and I had just done delete> invisible so ALL the layers present should have been doing something).

getho wrote:
seems to happen on specific documents
no I didn't reset prefs, but then the install is only a couple of weeks old (and I think I've had to dump photoshop prefs about 4 times in 8 years of using it; illustrator - thats another story!)
I'd try resetting the prefs any how, just to be sure. It should only take a minute to set your prefs back if it doesn't fix it.
Since it's happening on specific documents, is there anything special about them? Like, do their layers contain certain fonts, or maybe smart objects that have specific files in them? 3D layers? Are these files stored in any special place, or just maybe on your Desktop? (I'm just giving suggestions, since it's likely something specific those documents as you said, and maybe these files are just damaged and you'll have to re-create them, but hopefully you can figure out the cause of the problem.)
