Windows 7, Photoshop CS6 or CC Dialog boxes Messed up bad!

Hi Guys,
I'm running a PC with Windows 7 and a Nvidia Quadro 600 Card.
I have tried solving this one on and off for many months with no luck. Updating the drivers on the GPU etc. Clean installing.
It seems to affect only photoshop dialog boxes. But on both CS6 and even now on CC.
I'd settle right now for anyone even seeing this problem before! (Although I'd love a solution, don't get me wrong)
Here are a few snippets of the problems. Makes it impossible to read and use. Poor guy who uses this at work, is having a hard time using photoshop! It's every dialog, that gets messed up.
Um, help!

I actually can't believe I'm writing this, but I have finally resolved this issue!
I think it might have been something to do with duplicate fonts.
I had duplicates of Arial and about 9 other fonts. However for the life of me, I could not delete them after going through changing ownership of the Windows folder to enable deletion of duplicate fonts which were used by the system. Couldn't do it that.
I finally re-installed WIndows 7 as an upgrade. So basically I was upgrading to the exact same version of Windows 7, while maintaining all my original settings, programs, mapped drives etc etc. Everything.
And photoshop looks peachy now! I can actually see what I'm doing!
But thanks to Dutch Paul Paul, who got me thinking along the lines of re-activating fonts!

Photoshop CS6 installation failure dialog

I get the following Photoshop CS6 installation failure dialog box
Installation Failed
Your installation encountered errors.
A conflicting or prerelease version of Adobe Photoshop CS6 exists on this computer. The conflicting version must be removed before installing from the current media.
If the problem persists, please contact Customer Support for further assistance.
I've searched and found no reference to this in you FAQ
Are there specific files I should remover? What should I do?

first uninstall ps cs6, if it is installed.
then, run the cleaner: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
then reinstall.

Windows 7 Open and Save As dialog box gives an "Access Denied" when using common Windows Explorer features.

On many computers in our environment we have issues in Windows 7 when using the Common Dialog Box. Within the dialog box we get the error Access Denied whenever we try to create a folder. If we try to rename a file it doesn't give an error but
it doesn't work either. We cannot delete a file, still no error, but we can create shortcut.
Within Windows Explorer of the same user it has no issues.
Even if we run an application as administrator it has the same results.
Example: Open Paint (right click "Run As Administrator"); then File, "Save As", right-click in empty space; then New, Folder. This caused the error to popup "Unable to create the folder 'New folder' Access is denied."
Thanks for your help,
Daniel

You shouldn't have to deactivate it if it's the same computer. Remove photoshop as best you can using Windows Uninstall. Then reinstall a new copy from here:

Make sure you select the same version that you had before (extended or not, same OS, etc). It shouldn't be an issue if it's the same computer.

I just bought a new Mac Book Pro and did a migration of the content of the old laptop (also a Mac Book Pro) to the new one. Now I cannot start Photoshop CS6. When I am starting it I have a window "Adobe photoshop CS6 extended" opening requesting a connexion. When I am entering my password for the connexion the software crashes. How can I fix the problem?

Migrating, transferring or copying is DEMANDING trouble, not just asking for it.
Always install from scratch, from the original media,

Photoshop crashes with open dialog box on Windows 8.1

I just upgraded from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1. I have Photoshop CC, I also have Photoshop Elements installed. On occasion, Photoshop CC hangs when using the open dialog box. It then crashes explorer. The only way to resolve it is to restart the PC.
Has anyone seen this behavior. I do not have any logs as of now.
Thanks,
Bill Byrnes

I don't know if this is helpful or exactly on topic with this thread... but I have to share somewhere...
I've been dealing this problem for months and I finally fixed it on my own.
My Antivirus, AVG, which is great, except for this glitch, was the root cause of the issue.
History: If I right-clicked a file in my Save/Open Dialogue Photoshop (CS6 Extended) would crash.. for the last few months, actually... If I avoided right-clicking I'm ok, but my instincts are to organize, rename, etc. while in the save/open pop-up window ... So I've often crashed Photoshop when all I do is right-click on a file in the list of files...
Well, I figured out the cause of the glitch:
"Permanently Shred with AVG” .. this option, added without my knowledge during an AVG update, was added around the same time this problem started (realizing this in hindsight).. THIS was conflicting with my Adobe Photoshop file explorer window in the Save/Open dialogue!!! After months of trying to figure this out, this is definitely the solution.
Once I turned that AVG Shell Extenstion off.... I am now able to right-click files in Photoshop save/open pop-up window again without it crashing… finally !!!!
...hope this helps folks even if it's just a related clue to other issues....
Basically ,run command prompt as Administrator, then type:
For 32-bit : regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
For 64-bit: regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG2014\avgse.dll”
I found this info about turning off "Permanently Shred with AVG" option at this link:

I want the image preview put back into PS CS6 file open dialog box (WIndows)

PATCH IT NOW ADOBE!!!

I sense a bit of frustration. It's understandable. I've expressed some of the same myself on occasion.
Ssprengel and I have suggested this solution to you as it actually improves many things beyond just working around the omission in Photoshop functionality.
Even with Photoshop CS5 and earlier I had added the codec pack. The codec pack provides more than just an image preview in Photoshop dialogs, as it adds awareness of the image to all Windows functions, including the Windows Photo Viewer for example. Like you, I prefer not to use Bridge. Consider this Explorer window:
You're certainly welcome to not buy the upgrade to Photoshop CS6. No one's twisting your arm. Unfortunately, your alternatives are... ??? And keep in mind if you do skip Photoshop CS6, the upgrade to Photoshop CS7 will be hugely more expensive.

Photoshop elements 11: No dialog box?

I've recently purchased Photoshop elements 11 and when I insert the disc to download it nothing comes up on the screen. Step 2 of the installation guide is to 'In the adobe photoshop elements dialog box, click instill adobe photoshop elements' but I have nothing to click. Tried browsing to the dvd using windows explorer but didn't get anything. How can I download what I have purchased?

Hi freedomalice05,
In the installation disk there must be a file named setup.exe
Please run this file and the instaltion should begin.
Also make sure you got the right disk for the right OS.
Alternatively you can try downloading PSE 11 from our website : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us

Photoshop CS6 File Open Dialog missing Preview ?

Why did Adobe remove the file preview area from the File > Open dialog box? I like having all my file requestors showing Details mode so I need the Preview window when I am navigating, browsing and opening files.
Illustrator CS6 still has a Preview window, granted it only works on AI files, it should be able to preview PDFs and EPS files correctly, let alone all raster formats.

See this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1026436
You're not likely going to get it back, but there are codecs you can add that will ease the pain, and potentially even make other parts of your system work better than they do now for your needs.

Photoshop CS5 pop-ups (Dialog boxes) will not stay / stick in place

My pop-up / dialog boxes have always opened in the same place as I had placed them from the previous time I had used them. All of a sudden they will no longer stick / stay, they open in the center of the page.
For example when I first open PS and I click Ctrl > C for Brightness / Contrast the box will open in the center of the page. If I move it to the side (so its not in the working area) it should open in that spot the next time I use it.
But now it will always open in the center of the page regardless of where I have placed it before. Very annoying it have to move the dialog boxes all the time.

What OS are you running?
I know of no way Windows can cause that, but I don't know about OS X.
If you can't find a direct solution, it might be a case where a complete Photoshop preferences reset to defaults could help... Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt simultaneously (or Command - Shift - Option if on a Mac) immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be really quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your current preferences, which will lead to the establishment of a fresh default set. If it does not prompt you, you haven't been quick enough to get the keys down.

"Help improve Adobe products" window crashes Photoshop CS6

Most od the times when I try to open a Photoshop CS6 file (MacBook Pro Retina, Mac OS 10.8.3) and the "Help improve Adobe products" window shows up, no matter if I press the "Do not participate" or "participate" button, the program opens but all tghe menu items appear in gray or the program crashes

Same problem here, can no longer use Photoshop. Have never installed MacKeeper or MacCleaner which are named as culprits in other threads.

Need help with extracting a faint reflection from a window with Photoshop CS6, from a jpg photo

I was wondering what tools are needed to be used to extract a clearer image of a reflection in a photo.
I am using Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit).
I don't know what else I should add. Please ask, and I will answer as much as I know.
Regards,
Isa

Semaphoric
I asked the photo owner and was told that they don't want their picture posted in public. So, I can't provide that specific image.
Perhaps if you may, could you please find a picture of a person reflected in a window (shopfront) and see if you can make the reflection of the person anymore clearer?
Here, watch this video for a better idea of what I am after: CSI Magic
I am the first to admit that this video clip is a far-fetched possibility (read, impossible from such a distance and angle), but a reflection from a much closer object (it was of a lady taking a photo around 2 metres/6 feet in front of a shopfront, to get her friend some contact details. She is [not so] clearly visible within the reflection), may be able to grab more of her details from the reflection.
I almost feel like going out and taking a picture myself to describe the situation more thoroughly, as I believe the way I worded my initial request may be misleading, as chilecayenne seemed to be misled by it. However, if anyone else could take/provide such a photo, and post it up here, I would really appreciate it.

Windows 8 Photoshop CS6 stopped working

After reinstalling CS6 PhotoShop CS6 on Windows 8 no longer starts. It doesn't start as administrator either

I did reinstall because both photoshop and indesign became unresponsive when starting. I guess an Adobe update rendered both unusable.

Mavericks and Photoshop CC - blank white dialog boxes.

On Mavericks. I'm getting white blank dialog boxes in Photoshop CC. Doesn't happen right away. It lets me work for a limited time then I get the blank boxes and can only Force Quit. I don't use Suitcase but I do have a Wacom. iMac.

this is what WACOM responded to me:
Dear Felix,
We are sorry for the problem, but we cannot see such a problem in our tests. The PS menus are displayed
by Photohop and the graphics driver. The tablet is technically not in any way involved in showing any menus.
Nevertheless we have tested it here and unfortunately we cannot reproduce such a problem, neither in
Photoshop Elements nor in Photoshop CC. We have customers complaining about lags in Photoshop under
Maverick, but those customers do not have seen any problem with the display of menus. So not evryone has
problems with displaying the menus, but might depend on graphics cards or other system parameters.
As it is a wrong behaviour of Photoshop and not the tablet, the problem needs to be reported and
reproduced by Adobe. Adobe developers have Wacom tablets and are in close contact with Wacom.
If they can see a problem related to the Wacom driver, they can get direct assistance from us.
So far we can only recommend to update the graphics driver and update Photoshop. Perhaps you need
to uninstall and re-install Photoshop. We also recommend to set Photoshop preferences for the pointer
to ‘standard cursor’ and not to ‘precise cursor’. If it is on a multi-monitor configuration we suggest to disable
the option in Mission Control for ‘displays use separate spaces’. This is known to have problems with some
graphics cards.
Kind regards
Andy
