Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in CS2 and...

Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in PS CS2. Any command that I try to execute in PS generates a "program error" message, including trying to exit the program. Now I have to go into Task Manager and "kill" it in there to get out of it. Images and changes will not save.
I have deleted the PS preferences and rebooted. I un-installed and re-installed PS. Same problem. Only happens in PS, not InDesign.
I can click directly on the toolbox to activate a certain tool, but this is so painfully slow. I'm pretty much dead in the water so any help appreciate.
Dell 8400 3 ghz box, Window XP latest version, all updates.
Tons of memory and hard drive space.
[sig deleted by forum host]

The program has worked without any problems for two years. It was purchased at CDW under our company account.
Here's where I am with it. I am completely screwed now and at the "format the hard drive" point. When I go to install the CS2 Suite, the installer disk says that everything is out there on the hard drive BUT Photoshop, even though I used the installer CD to removed all components. I can't reinstall over anything, or install anything at all.
I went through the OS Registry and cleaned out what I think is everything but the install disk is reading something somewhere in a file that I can't seem to locate. I also went through the Common files under programs and cleaned that out as well. So, it looks like a reformat for me.
So, I've order a brand new 250 gig hard drive in case there are any issues going on from that end. Right now I'm going through withdrawal symptoms because I no longer can access CS2 and I have a boatload of projects to work on. Your basic nightmare. Wait, maybe I'm dreaming all this...

  • Forms HOST command no longer works after database upgrade from 10g to 11g

    Hi,
    After upgrading the database 10g to 11g the forms HOST command no longer works on Unix server. The form used to work fine prior the upgrade. I read all the threads I could find and did not see any solutions. Adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work because it does not even run a basic shell script. (I saw this solution, adding PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, in many questions / threads).
    1. I wouldn't expect the database upgrade to be an issue, but it is the only change we had.
    2. Note, 11g is Oracle Fusion Middleware which is quite a bit different than 10g.
    I even tried the most basic commands like "echo" which is a build-in Unix command and there is no directory for it (ie. no /usr/bin - so variable PATH is irrelvent). i.e HOST('echo hi'); and HOST('echo "hi" '); and even HOST ('echo hi > /my_file.txt'); all returns FORMS_FAILURE (actually the if is IF FORM_SUCCESS THEN ... else ... and the else part always runs now - whereas it didn't before.).
    Or basic commands like /usr/bin/ls as in HOST(/usr/bin/ls). At that point I was just testing the Unix command would return FORM_SUCCESS even though I could not see the results (because they weren't writing to a log file). Notice that I'm using the direct path /usr/bin so no Unix environment variables were needed.
    The form does use webutil but that part works. For example, we have webutil_file_transfer( ....) The file shows up on the application server and in the expected directory.
    Here's the main goal. Upload a file from clients local PC to the datebase server. The form uploads the file to the Application server, then we have a Unix script to scp (secure copy) the file from the application server to the database server. IF webutil, or any other Oracle functions could put the file on the database server that would be better. But, I don't know of any procedures that do that - or would have done it cleanly (i.e. storing to database and write back to server and then using a blob etc. )
    Anyway, I was hoping someone would help with either of these.
    1) Get the HOST command to work. - If we can get that to work then I wouldn't need any more help. We can just call the already existing Unix script to copy the file from the application server to the database.
    2) OR be able to upload directly to the database server - wanted to do that originally
    Any help would be appreciated

    Solution for those interested and for anyone else searching this forum for a solution
    I found this on My Oracle Support:
    <h3>Host Command from Forms Not Working in 11g in Sun Solaris Sparc OS [ID 1157346.1]</h3>
    Applies To: Oracle Forms - Version 11.1.1.1.0 and later
    Sun SPARC Sun OS
    Symptoms:
    When trying to execute a Shell script or any OS command using the host() Built-in from Forms 11g, the host()command is not getting executed. The same functionality works on other operating systems and in previous versions like 10gR2.
    Steps to be followed:
    1) Take a backup and edit the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/fmwconfig/servers/WLS_FORMS/applications/formsapp_11.1.1/config/default.env or any custom environment file.
    2) Locate the following environment variable:
    LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) Comment out this variable. After the changes, it will look like the following:
    #LD_PRELOAD=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    3) a) Instead of LD_PRELOAD, kindly use LD_PRELOAD_64 as given below :
    LD_PRELOAD_64=/ora10gas/app/11.1.0/Middleware/as_1/jdk/jre/lib/sparcv9/libjsig.so
    (This makes HOST AND RUN_REPORT_OBJECT work fine).
    4) Save the file and execute your forms. The Host() built-in will work as expected
    The LD_PRELOAD setting in default.env is only required for the working of signal chaining facility in JVM version 1.5 and later. If you are not using theSignal chaining facility, this variable is not required. For more information, refer to the following documentation

  • Clicking on iTunes ikon and I get the message the item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.  What can I do, I can't open Itunes.  I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had

    When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads  Problem with shortcut.  The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
    My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes.  I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either.  I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
    I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am  going to loose all these now?  Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
    Thanks

    I would copy over the entire thing if you have room.  With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account.  While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases".  If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device.  Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!!  Enjoy...

  • Getting error message : the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly. I get this either using the start menu or the desktop shortcut. I tried going to programs /itunes and repair.

    Getting the error message:
    the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut referes to has been moved or changed so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
    I tried going into the control panel/programs /itunes and selected repair which didn't fix it. Any suggestions on restoring the broken shortcut without removing and re-installing the program?
    Running windows 7 home premium SP1
    Thank you

    I think it is some sort of permissions issue preventing the installer from updating the shortcuts. Is your account an administrator of the machine? If it is and you still have the problem then you may need to explicitly use the "Administrator" account for the install.

  • I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 and now I get an error messages saying "The item 'iTunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."

    I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 for windows 7 and now when I try to open itunes with the shortcut on my desktop I get this error message: "The item 'itunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."  I can't open itunes at all.  Is there anything I can do or is there a problem with the new update?

    Start > Programs = Firefox
    Does that shortcut work?
    If so, delete the current shortcut that is in the Quick Start tray and drag the one that is in Start > Programs down there.

  • Keyboard shortcut command-w stopped working after upgrading to OSX 10.9.4

    Dear all,
    after upgrading to OSX 10.9.4 the keyboard shortcut command-w stops working after about 30 min of having the machine powered on. Interestingly, this phenomenon is not restricted to a certain app (Safari, etc.).
    In system preferences > keyboard all settings have been set to "default".
    Anybody else having the same issue?
    Many thanks,
    wolfgang

    Hi folks,
    just as quick documentation for possibly other error sources for the problem "shortcut command-w not working":
    If problem persists close all applications (allL!). Then open one app like Safari, open several tabs and check whether command-w works.
    Reason: it could happen that you've set command-w inadvertently in another app like Snagit. And when setting this the app did not tell you "listen dummy, this is a standard command, do you really want to replace a standard command with a app-specific command. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work when the app is running."
    This is what happened to me. So close all apps and check whether problem persists.
    reg,
    wolfgang

  • My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • 5.1 audio no longer works on Netflix and HBO Go

    I've noticed recently that 5.1 audio no longer works on Netflix and HBO Go. Those are the only apps I really use, so I can't speak for any others. My receiver lights up all of the speaker lights that it normally would for 5.1 audio, but it displays "Stereo" and I'm only getting stereo sound from my speakers for anything I play from those sources. The receiver works as it is supposed to for all of my other A/V devices. I tried restarting and restoring, but the problem remains. I can't think of anything else to do.

    @sean0826 -- this is why you don't use Java menus. Even javascript menus are a bad idea; you need to have a secondary menu system ANYTIME you have a menu system that requires a plugin or scripting to be active. NOT EVERYONE browses with that stuff on.
    The only thing you can do for now is FTP to your site and add in static menus (like we did in the "old days" at the bottom of the page; or rip out the Java Menus and install static or CSS versions.
    BTW where are you rmenus supposed to be. I have opera, safari, ff, and a few others. they all look the same. So if that's true, it's the plugin that's the problem, not safari.
    In Opera Pogo.com works. java loads, the game is there. It does have some drawing issues but not surprised.
    In Safair Pogo works fine. Just played a game of chess.

  • Since i installed mavericks, voice command no longer works, since i installed mavericks, voice command no longer works

    Since installing Mavericks, voice command no longer works

    i have Fixed the problem, Had to go into dictation and speech preferences and actually shut the dictation microphone off. Once that was done I turned it back on and it automatically began to download new software for the microphone. Once that was done I re-booted my computer and it is now working beautifully.

  • "shortcuts" plugin no longer works, none appear

    Google Shortcuts 2.1.6 is installed. Windows XP, sp3. It was working as described. Dont remember what change killed it. Icon no longer appears. Set up for drop down list. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times with no success.
    Works great in my laptop/Win 7.
    Some of the services are set up as bookmarks (since shortcuts quit). They work fine that way.

    n Firefox make sure you have at least two (2) tabs open - (Ctrl+T opens a new tab)
    In the address bar of one tab, type "about:config" - minus the quotes, of course
    You'll see a warning. Click "I'll be careful, I promise" and continue to the configuration page.
    There's a search bar at the top. Type "js" - again, minus the quotes.
    In the results you'll see pdfjsviewer.disabled with a vaule of false. Click it once, then right click it and choose Toggle to make the value "True".
    Close that tab.
    Click Tools>Options and go to the Applications tab
    Locate Adobe Acrobat Document (or Portable Document File (PDF)) in the list and click the drop-down to select "Use Adobe Reader (in Firefox)". (Mine doesn't have that because I also have Acrobat Pro installed)
    Click OK.
    Click Tools>Addons to see that the Acrobat plugin is installed
    Close and restart Firefox. PDFs should now open in a browser window with the Reader plugin.
    Note: This doesn't work for me since the update to 23 and I should have the choice of Reader or Acrobat plugins. Firefox is trying desperatelt to FORCE users to use their crappy PDFJSViewer, which doesn't handle multimedis or forms PDFs.
    As to the NPAPI and security risks, that's blown WAY out of proprotion. There are antivirus companies trying to sell their products to Mac users (who will NEVER need them) and they use this "urban legend" to bolster their case.

  • HT5449 The voice commands no longer work

    Apple should take down the voice commands that no longer work - it over sells a product that is, while good, significantly less useful without the commands it claims to support. It has also lead to me wasting time trying to get them working as the Apple site itself says that that should. It wasn't until I Google'd the issue that it came to light these features have been removed after patent issues with Nuance.

  • Keyboard shortcuts no longer work in CS4 and Leopard

    Got a new Mac Pro so the OS is Leopard, I had F-keys assigned to open menus etc., and they are no longer working, e.g., I had F 10 assigned to Image Size, now it turns the mute on and off.
    How do I get it back to the previous behavior?
    TIA,
    Geoff

    No doubt it's the new aluminum keyboard (which I love), that's tripping you up. There are a couple of ways to address it.
    Go into the Keyboard preferences and place a check for the
    i Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys
    (i.e., the "old way")
    You can then assign different keys for system level control in Keyboard shortcuts tab.
    Alternatively, you can leave it unchecked - in PS, press and hold the
    b fn
    key (next to the home key), before using your standard F key shortcuts. The fn key is basically a temporary "toggle" to switch the focus between system and application. So, pressing fn before hitting F10 will not mute the system sound, but carry out whatever PS shortcut you have assigned.

  • Windows Shortcut Keys no longer working!?!

    Hello All,
    Framemaker 8(p277) has recently decided that after a period of use, standard windows shortcuts will stop working (ctrl+v / ctrl+c / ctrl+z!!! etc..) along with keystroke / character repeats.
    This only occurs within framemaker. Windows short cuts and keystroke repeat still function correctly in all other apps running at the same time
    right-clicking and selecting copy / paste / etc.. still works.
    Un-installing and re-installing the most recent framemaker patch seemed to temporarily fix the problem, however, it has now returned.
    I'm running xp Sp3, fully patched...
    and the repetitious arrow-key bashing that I'm now having to do is slowly driving my co-workers INSANE :)
    please help!
    brad

    Brad:
    My experience with the problem is that it's been around since version 5 of the product.
    I've observed that the problem seems to occur if I double-click on an embedded graphic, thus opening it in a third-party graphics program (PaintShop Pro 7). That is to say that on days when I don't work with graphics, I can run FrameMaker for hours and never have any CTRL key problems.
    When the problem does occur, I must perform one of the following to restore function-key operation, in order of preference:
    Exit and restart FrameMaker (easiest but doesn't always work)
    Log off and then back in to Windows (somewhat more time consuming, works almost all of the time)
    Reboot (time consuming, but always works)
    That's my experience. Other forum regulars have had different experiences...
    Cheers & hope this helps,
    Riley
