Windows 8 upgrade problems with CS5

I upgraded to windows 8 and no I can't view images in CS5. The photos load (I see the image name and the image thumbnail in the layers pallet). but there is no picture to edit. It is like it is invisible. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice now and done all the updates. Microsoft keeps telling me they are compatible, but I can't figure out why I can't see pictures. Here is a screenshot. You can see the image background layer in the layers pallet, and I can even do adjustment layers. My image information is on the top left, but as you can see, no image! I'm at a loss.....
ETA: I guess my screen shot didn't work so I'll try uploadting an image...

It's a new OS, and the drivers are not yet all right.
Try going into Edit - Preferences - Performance, then pressing the [Advanced] button and changing the GPU mode to Basic. Make sure to close and restart Photoshop to test.
If that doesn't work, try disabling OpenGL Drawing entirely (again, close and restart). This could be an interim fix until new drivers are available.
Make sure to check for new drivers at the web site of the company that makes your video card.

I have a desktop machine windows 7 based with CS5 loaded and working without problem. I have recently purchased a laptop running 8.1 windows. I have loaded the cs5 package onto the laptop and it appears to work but when I try to update, although I am being told there are updates it attempts to download the update but then tells me there is a problem and to quit and try again later.. I have tried a number of times to download the updates but itkeeps telling me to quit and try later. what is wrong please?

There could be a 32 bit vs 64 bit issues-is the old machine a 32 bit? and what is the new machine as far as 32/64 bit. I am not sure now if CS5 has in the help menu of the PS app the selection to update within PS if so that might work. I know that the Creative cloud app for installs updates etc has caused me much consternation over the last couple few years. Last it could be something like your Software firewall settings or anti-virus anti malware programs. I know that updating the infamous adobe flash that Internet Explorer pop ups setting and having AV turned on as opposed to off can interfere or plain break the update ability

Graphic Upgrade Problem with K430 desktop - Unresolved!

Hi,
Xmas 2012 I purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre K430 Desktop from PC world.
PC World said it would be upgradable if I need to upgrade it.
The system is:
Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
16.0 GB DDR3
1.8 TB Hardrive
Windows 8
Geforce GT 640
I recently purchased Crysis 3 and its not running very well, so I brought a Geforce GTX 660.
However when I installed and rebooted the PC, I was greated with a blank flashing screen?
other people have simular problems on the GeForce forums.
I have since took the card back PLUS 3 MORE for a refund, and very dissapointed that I can't upgrade this PC.
CAN SOMEONE AT LENOVO PLEASE REPLY WITH A LIST OF 'MODERN/LATEST GRAPHIC CARDS, THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS MODEL STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX?
CHANGING THE BIOS SETTINGS DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!
It's been almost 2 years and I've still not found a compatible card, so much for the Ultimate Upgradable PC!
Cheers.

The previous message thread you posted in has one recommendation of what worked in the K430. See the post #34 in this discussion.......

Template problem with cs5

I've transferred all my sites to cs5 (from cs4). I build all my sites with DW templates. When I bring up my pages from any site in DW cs4, I can edit them no problem. When I bring them up in cs5, all of a sudden I have the "no-edit" symbol (red circle crossed) when I try to type over any editable areas. Is there a setting that I am missing that I forgot to readjust when I loaded the files in cs5?
Thanks in advance
Jules

I think I'm talking to myself, here...
But just in case anyone has run into this problem with cs5...
I usually create editable regions with content alone (minus divs). It seems that cs5 won't allow this somehow. I do this so that my clients won't move the div and can highlight the text that they want to change without screwing up the placement of the divs or having to click on it several times in Contribute in order to highlight the text.
Example: (This one works)
      
   <div id="contentLeft">
        <table width="100%" border="0" align="left" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" background="images/transBack.png">
        <tr><td>
          <h1>Heading Goes Here</h1>
          <p>Lorem ipsum eum erant soleat perfecto ex, ei pro mentitum aliquando theophrastus. Quodsi lucilius adolescens nec te, alia melius dissentias id eum, eu vel atqui munere eligendi. Eu eum viris suscipit, mei iracundia persequeris necessitatibus ad, qui putent vocent comprehensam ea. Eos sumo illud fuisset ea, sit doming dolorum fierent ea. Vis rebum aperiri nonummy at, ne eam impedit persequeris accommodare.</p>
          <p>An dico veritus evertitur cum, mentitum legendos theophrastus mei ei, qui hinc timeam honestatis ad. Ut illum takimata gloriatur eam, ei nullam propriae delicata vel, has ea solum ludus. Pro solum ridens inciderint ad, te ius vocent perfecto, partiendo scripserit reformidans cum te. No fastidii scaevola maiestatis mei, percipit praesent abhorreant eam no. Ea vim nobis dolore ignota, quodsi inciderint ei vel. Velit dicam te cum, te inermis principes percipitur per, animal constituam his an.</p>
          </td></tr>
          </table>
          </div>
      
          (This one doesn't)

SWF Problems with CS5.5

I am trying new Flash CS5.5. Has some new features that I need but having lots of trouble with posting the SWF. I created a scrolling text "panel" to insert into an HTML document. I admit I've never built that particular object HOWEVER, when I previewed it via Control > Test Movie, it worked great.
Then I exported the file via File > Export > Export Movie, double clicked it on the desktop ... also worked great. HOWEVER, when I emailed this file to a friend, the systems (both windows and Mac OS) asked user to select program the created the file. It would not open without Flash in the background.
I've used Flash CS4 and have never had a problem like this. BUT, that's not the end of it. When I went ahead and inserted the file into the HTML doc in Dreamweaver, then hit File > Preview in Browser > Safari (or Firefox), the following message popped up:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
/Users/john/Desktop/jimednorman/Scripts/expressinstall.swf
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
fpdownload.macromedia.com
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings"
The problems are two:
1. I have no idea what to do in "settings". It is not clear at all as to what I'm supposed to change.
2. This still does not solve the problem with the swf file NOT playing unless Flash is running in the background.
Hey, I'm on my knees! Please help. I've never seen this and especially never had an issue with swf not playing on its own ... given that the "test movie" ran great.
What did I do wrong OR what have I left undone? Or do I need a spiritual advisor? (Don't answer that

Hello: I, too, am new to both the forum and Flash CS5, and am having a similar problem trying to get a Flash .swf file to play on my website. I've done all the things suggested here. I have tried "publishing" the fla , but, as dunb as this may sound, once the file has been published, I have no idea where it went. I can't find it anywhere on my system, and it's not in the site directory in Dreamweaver CS5. When I test the movie and the scene, it plays perfectly. When I double click the file, it plays perfectly. When I export the file to the Dreamweaver page (insert>media>SWF) the gray box appears on the page and when I save the page, all the files get uploaded. A "Script" directory is created under the root, with 2 files, and the .SWF file is in the root directory as well. The settings in Dreamweaver are all standard and there is nothing large or weird about the SWF itself. Essentially, it's a rotating graphic. Very basic. But when I open the web page, nothing appears. (Using Firefox). Even when I switch to IE, the page opens, but the SWF does not play. I've Googled every web site forum that addresses this issue and I can find nothing to make this work. When I "publish", I understand an .HTML file is created that should be put into the root of the server, but I have no idea what that file is or where it goes once it's created. A search for .html files on my system finds nothing more than the files I have created myself.
When I open my web site, instead of just displaying the title "Home Page", it says Home Page - Flash Player Installation - Index.html.
I just upgraded to Adobe Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver CS5 after years with Dreamweaver MX and Photoshop CS2. I've never had Flash Pro at all.
Can someone please tell me what I'm missing or doing wrong? My hair, fingernails, keyboard, ulcer, high blood pressure and dog all thank you.

Printing problems with CS5 to Xerox C320 Laser

Hi There,
I have recently upgraded from CS4 Windows to a new iMac with CS5. I was getting good prints out of the PC although when we switched to Mac CS5 I have been getting de saturated prints, no colour concistancy across progams and it is near impossible to colour callibrate.
I have double checked that I am using the correct driver for the Xerox C320 Document Centre, I have experimented with changing colour profiles. I just can't get a good colour out of any of the applications. Illustrator is the worst. The prints are coming out nothing like when they show on screen. I am really confused as all of the IT experts we have consulted with had advised us that printing on the Mac would produce a better print that the PC although this is not the case.
If anyone has any ideas of how to fix this problem it would be greately appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi There,
Thanks you for your response.
I use a Spyder 3 to callibrate my screen and I have had Syder experts in to show me how to callibrate the paper so we can set up profiles. This worked a little bit. It meant that I could see how de-saturated the print would come out. This didn't help the print quality at all.
Thank you for your advice. I will definantly look into some alternative devices.

**SPA2102 FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROBLEM WITH 5.2.12

I'm having problems loading firmware 5.2.12 onto my SP2102-R ATA. I have my laptop PC running Windows 7 directly with an ethernet cable from my laptop to the ethernet connection on the back of the SPA2102. I run the .bin file and In order to get the software to the upgrade stage I have to enter ****, 73738 1# to move to the next stage. I have now been waiting for 1/2 hour waiting for firmware download request from SPA. IT DOESN'T GET PASS THIS STAGE.......CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL WHAT I'M DOING WRONG OR WHAT I NEED TO DO DIFFERENT?
Thanks......

Based on my experience with the SPA2102-NA, it is not necessary to do a factory reset (*73738) in order to perform a firmware upgrade/downgrade.
However, now that you have done so, any and all previous user settings will have been reset to the original factory settings (including user set passwords - assuming your ATA is an un-locked SPA2102-NA).
If you think the firmware 5.2.12 is faulty, then repeat the upgrade/downgrade process by downgrading back to an earlier version:
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414111&softwareid=282463187&release=5.2.12&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
If you are still having problems, see if this tutorial will reveal any procedural issues:

Color printing problems with CS5 on Mac 10.6.5

I really need some help. I installed CS5 several weeks ago on a new MacPro tower. I have used an Epson 3800 pro printer for many years with my Mac G5 and CS3 with no issues at all. Now, the color is completely off. I have kept the same settings, updated the driver and all software. When I print from photoshop the colors are perfect. When I print from InDesign or Acrobat in pdf form, the colors are all wrong; not saturated enough, too light, too dark, just wrong. I have been printing just fine for years, but since the new computer and upgrade, everything is totally off. Does anybody have any ideas? I would be so grateful.
Thank you,
sharon

It may also be a Mac thing. I have some recollection that for a period of time Macs were introducing the monitor profile (which they shouldn't have) into the color management equation when printing from ID, and that has changed, either with CS5 or Snow Leopard. I'm sorry I don't recall the gory details -- I'm on Windows and thus never had to deal with it -- but there should be some discussion here on the forum if you search.

Problems with CS5 Web Premium Disks Being Unreadable

I pre-ordered my CS5 Web Premium update and finally received the three disk set on May 6. Attempted to install and the first disk which was the Suite installed fine. The other two disks were unreadable. I called Adobe support and they shipped another set to me which arrived today, May 12, and the same thing happened with the same two disks - Adobe Acrobat and CS5 Content. The disks are unreadable on five of my Macs and three windows machines.
Called tech support and was bounced around from Customer Service to support in India and back to Customer Service and finally told them I just wanted a refund after about ninety minutes on the call. I do find it funny that I was passed to Tech Support to "troubleshoot" unreadable disks.
A simple solution which nobody at Adobe seemed to grasp is to allow you to download a copy even if you paid for a shipped copy. I am amazed that this is not an option. So now I will eat the shipping costs and send my box back to Adobe and wait for what will probably be months before they credit my card back for the purchase.
Anybody else having problems with the install disks?

CS5 loads fine but Acrobat is unreadable and the Content disk is unreadable. The CS5 trial download doesn't include the content or Acrobat. Acrobat is a windows only download. So the trial download only installs what comes on disk 1 which is the only good disk of the three in the shipment.
A guy I talked to in Tech Support acknowledged that they produced a bad batch of disks and it seems I got two shipments of bad disks.

DW CS4 with Windows 7 - problems with Extension Manager

Hi
I am new to this forum and have searched to see if anybody else has had this issue but can't find it.
I have recently installed CS4 on a Windows 7 laptop. I had originally downloaded and installed it on an XP laptop where it was all fine.
I had some problems with installation with the unlocking of the serial number on the new laptop - this was resolved by Adobe support.
However now I am trying to install extensions and get the message that the Extension Manager is unavailable and I have to re-install.
I have tried to contact Adobe using the Support portal but my post has been there for 4 days and I have had no response. I have just tried to call and after 12 minutes of being on hold - when the wait time was supposed to be 1 minute - I gave up.
Can anyone help with this. Does this mean an uninstall then re-install again? In which case I will have the same serial number issue that I had before. Or is there any other way I can install the Extension Manager?
Would really appreciate any help.

I had a somewhat similar experience with the 4.2.1 upgrade with my computer. With my Q6600 running at 3.2 GHz, Vista x64 and with PPro CS4/4.1 update, I ran the PPBM4 benchmark and scored an 83.8. I then installed Win 7 x64, clean install etc… and re-ran the PPBM4 benchmark, with the same 4.1 update and with all system configurations the same as before, my score improved to 68.8, fantastic! I was very impressed with Win 7 x64.
This was short-lived because I updated PPro from 4.1 to 4.2.1, re-ran the PPBM4 benchmark and my score fell to 83.1 seconds, not impressed with the 4.2.1 update as far as this benchmark was concerned. I replaced the Q6600 with a Q9450, also over clocked to 3.2 GHz and with Win 7 x64, ran the PPBM4 benchmark and scored a 68.1; I got back everything I had lost in system speed from the 4.2.1 update plus some.
The Q6600 does not have the SSE4 instruction set while the Q9450 does. Perhaps the 4.2.1 update benefited CPU’s with SSE4 while those CPU’s without it, took a performance hit, just a guess.

CS4 while Adobe fix the problems with CS5 for Mac?

If anyone from Adobe is monitoring this forum, is it possible for customers who have bought PRemiere Pro CS5 to have access to a fully functional copy of Premiere Pro CS4 while we wait for fixes to two serious bugs in the Mac release of CS5?
The problems with not being able to save project files, and the wrong aspect ratio randomly being selected when importing widescreen DV footage - discussed in threads on this forum - make CS5 unusable on a Mac currently.
thanks.

You randomly get a saved Quicktime file with the wrong aspect ratio.
Ah ha...now that I can fix for you ..if you have QT Pro.
BTW: That behavoiur is typical of QT Player and is not actually random.
Method:
Open your mov in QT Pro
Show Movie Properties (Ctrl-J)
Click on Video Track
Click on Visual Settings Tab
Un check the Preserve Aspect Ratio box
(Here is where you now need to do some math to change the 4x3 to 16:9 ratio)
Divide the Vertical Pixel Dimension by 1.78 and enter the result in the Vert Dimension box
Ensure the Preserve Aspect Ratio box is UNCHECKED
Hit Tab key and notice the image in the QT window change.
In the QT Window Menu - File>Save (SAVE is an IMPORTANT STEP)
Here is an example:
QT movie Original is 320x240
Divide 240 by1.78 ( ie. 240/1.78=134)
Bingo!

Leopard Upgrade Problem with Mail

I'm trying to upgrade an iMac G5 to Leopard, but am having problems with the mail installation. Leopard is running fine on the machine, but is getting hung up on the initial opening of the Mail application. A window pops up saying "preparing to import messages." I've tried fixing permissions using the utility application, to no effect. I seem to remember this being a problem when Leopard was first released, but I can't find any info addressing the issue.
Thanks,
S.

Are you saying that the system hangs at "preparing ..." and does not proceed?

10.6.8 Upgrade Problems with Google Display Error post install

Hi -- I just upgraded my IMac to 10.6.8 in anctipation of migrating to Mountain Lion later this week.   While the installation went very smoothly, it seems I am having a problem with the Google display.    When I open Google, the search box has no lines around it and when I enter the box, it jumps to the Google search in the menu bar, and I can't read what I'm typing.
I've tried a multitude of other sites where there are search boxes, log in boxes, etc, but I am only having problems with Google.   Any thoughts?

boy these forums really help you out. having similar issue and no one seems to have a clue why 10.6.8 screws everything up. I did notice the active directory plugin version changed from 6.5 to 6.5.1. They did something.

Upgrade problems with vista

Just loaded Itunes newest version to my vista system and now when I play songs they become choppy. It may play great for about 5 minutes then it will become choppy for about 5 to 10 seconds then play fine.
My other laptop with xp plays perfect with the same exact library. Wondering if any else has similiar issues.

I think because the upgrade that was just created for vista is so new maybe the bugs havent all been worked out yet. I plan on waiting a while before downloading it to my new vista laptop. I'm a little paranoid because I don't want to have any problems with it so soon.

BI 7 Upgrade - Problem with Authorisation Variable on Compounded Char

Dear All,
We have just upgraded our DEV environment from 3.5 to BI7 and have encountered a weird problem with 1 of our authorization variables.
Our authorization check variable checks the values from a table that the users are allowed to use (which includes the selection screen). There are 2 variables 1 for the uncompounded char and 1 for the compounded char, the uncompounded variable is working just fine but not the other. When the user tries to pick a value, they are presented with not just their restricted list but ALL the values.
Can anyone explain this? Has BI 7 changes the way authorizations work with Compounded Characteristics ?
Before anyone asks, these variables work just fine on 3.5 and are working just fine in our QA and PRD environments.
Help required urgently.
Thanks
Craig

Hi,
Yes authorisations in BI 7.0 are a bit different from the ones in BW 3.5. Here is the link which will help you know every thing in BI 7.0
