Wits End! I'm running Adobe cs5 with Windows 7 - Bridge and Raw are Crazy slow!

Everything has been running beautifully, then it all went horribly wrong. Bridge comes up fine, then I right click on an image to open it in raw and the spinner starts and spins for 3-5 minutes. I finally get the image open in raw, make my adjustments and click to open in photoshop. Then I have to walk away. another 5-10 minutes. Crying won't help so I'm coming to you!
I've uninstalled and reinstalled cs5, I've defragged and disc cleaned, updated windows, downloaded the latest bridge update (but not sure how to tell if it's installed in the right place? does it do that automatically?), I have 852 gb of free space on my hard drive of a poss 916.
I've tried to think of what may have changed? Could an automatic windows 7 update have caused the problem? I recently added another external hard drive (Seagate GoFlex - I now have 2)
This is my busy season and I can't afford to have this down time - 2 days of trying to fix the problem.
Anyone have any solutions please?
thanks!

I Have resolved it, but not really sure How I did it! lol
I did the upgrades. Removed and reloaded CS5, but don't use the 64 bit
version...I think that was what I somehow got onto before.
The latest update didn't Cause the issue for me because I hadn't downloaded
it yet.
I also, did a major defrag and disc cleanup.
Good luck!

Adobe CS5 with Windows 8

I need a definite answer as to whether Adobe CS5 is compatible with Windows 8.
http://www.adobe.com/support/OScompatibility.html
The chart doesn't specifiy if Creative Suite Five works within Windows 8

There is no definitive answer. It was never tested on or designed for Win 8. For the most part it should work, but there may be specific compatibility issues that you have to muddle through.

I have Dreamweaver CS5 with Windows 8 and it won't stay connected to the server and it says I need flash plug in, please help

I have a Gateway computer with Windows 8 installed. I have installed Dreamweaver CS5 to manage my website and it won't stay connected to the server. It also won't play flash and says I need a flash plug in. Please help

#1 Try toggling Passive FTP on/off in your remote server's site definition.
#2 Except for a handful of gaming sites, Flash is a dead web technology. It's not supported by iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android, etc... I don't recommend using Flash for anything these days. Better to use HTML5, CSS level 3 and JavaScript.

Adobe issues With Windows XP and IE 8

I have Windows XP SP3. I also have IE 8. Anytime I wanted to read a PDF file within IE, it crashes and get Website restore error. I also unistalled Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.3 and reinstalled and get the same error message. I also can not download an attached PDF doc. When I click to download it, normally you get the time remaining et al and it shows totally blank.

Syncing with Windows XP and iTunes 9.1 slow,stalled, hanging

I am attempting to sync my iPad with a Windows XP - based laptop having the latest and greatest iTunes. This process is barely moving. The device was left overnight and it is still attempting to sync. I am afraid to interrupt the process but I can't tell if the machine is hung up or wedged or what. The progress bar during the backup phase barely progresses.
Any ideas on how to unwed this?

The backup/sync process should never take that long...something seems to have gone wrong... You can try to force quit or end task for iTunes...
Depending on where in the process it got stuck you may or may not need to restore iPad.

I am running a laptop with windows 7 on it and trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and won't let me save as anything. Please help?

I am running a laptop with windows 7 and am trying to use the save as feature in Photoshop CS6 and it wont let me save as anything. Can someone please help me with this?

A screenshot of your Photoshop work area showing the open file you want to save as, the Layers panel open, and the Save as... dialog open might give us a clue as to what is going on.
To take a screenshot and save it as a file
For Windows 7, Printscreen, open a New File in Photoshop, Ctrl v to paste, then save as jpeg (the other trick was for windows 8)
Use the Camera icon on your reply to upload it.
Also File > Save for Web is a good workaround if you just need a jpeg, png, or gif.

Reader X integration with Windows Explorer and protected mode

Hello all.
I'm having some problems with Adobe Reader X under Windows 7 and it seems that I need to disable protected mode. I disabled it by unchecking the related option in edit-preferences, also I created the registry key for the local user (bProtectedMode = 0).
After doing that, the protected mode seems to be disables when I open pdf documents with Reader X, but it's still enabled when previewing documents thumbnails in windows explorer. The issue is that when I open a folder containing pdf files and left click or right click them, two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and it seems to me that it's a protected mode behaviour (broker process + sandboxed renderer process).
I'd like to know if it's possible to fully disable protected mode so that it remains disabled even when I'm navigating directories with Windows Explorer and documents are previewed. My current Adobe Reader version is 10.1.3.
Thank you very much.

Hi Fernando,
Here's a statement that hopefully helps or at least solves your mystery:
While Protected Mode can be disabled for PDFs viewed with the product, Adobe continues to protect you when 3rd party software invokes a Reader process; that is, Protected Mode sandboxing cannot be disabled for shell extensions. For example, when you use Windows Explorer to preview a PDF in the Preview Pane, it starts a Reader process to display the preview. In such cases, Task Manager shows that two AcroRd32.exe processes spawn and that the operation is occurring with Protected Mode enabled.

Hello,
My Adobe CS5 keeps letting me know updates are ready to install, attempts to install, then always tells me.." error in the downloading..."Please!...tell me what to do to get these updates?...I've been trying(Adobe has been trying) for 3 months to get this done. What if I uninstall everything and try to reinstall again? I uninstalled the program from the old computer when I got a new computer. Had no problems with that.I've run out of places to look for help. Just want to keep my stuff current.
New computer has Windows 8.1 on it.

Here are three sites you can look at for downloads and info.

Authorisations to run Adobe Reader under Windows 8

Under windows 8 with adobe reader 11, I have not been able to launch the program. Each time the system says I don't have the authorisations required (even when I follow instructions to get additional authorisations which I seem unable to obtain despite using the normal sequence of "properties" , "security" " advanced etc. and in this case I get the following message in the "target" slot"
The name "c:\program files\adobe\READER 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is not valid. Verify that the routing (?) and the name of the file are correct
when I click on the Security tag although the location of the programes of Adobe Reader 11 are in fact in the location detailed above. It would seem that windows 8 has a security system that I don't seem to be able to adjust. (I have used Acrobat under Vista and under XP without these problems) . At the moment and after three days of efforts I am still incapable of getting Reader 11 to run..

(a) After installation of Reader 11.0, the following text appears on the
screen after either double clic on the screen icone or clic on c: directory
(c:\programmes\adobe\Reader 11.0 :-
Title: Reader 11.0
Vous ne disposez pas des autorisations requises pour acceder à ce dossier
(Translation (not on screen): You don't have the authorisations required to
accede to this file)
(There are two tabs ("Continue" and "Cancel")
If one clics on "Continuer" the screen reads:
Reader 11.0
L'acces à ce dossier vous a été refusé. Pour acceder à ce dossier vous
devez utiliser l'onglet de securité :
Translation: Acces to this file for you has been denied. To acces this
file you should use the "Security" tab.
One tab: "Fermer" (Close)
If one then does a right clic on the Reader 11.0 screen icone, and then
clic on "properties" then clic on "Security", I get a listing of "groupes or
users" which for this computer gives the following : "System", "John
Willis([email protected]"), "Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur),
"Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs), "Interactif". Each of these has a check
mark against "Controle Totale",
"Modification", "Lecture et execution", lecture", "Ecriture" and the three
"rulepar" entries each have a check mark against "Autorisations spéciales".
If one clics on the tab "Avancé" then
on the "Autorisations tab 'john willis ([email protected]_
(mailto:[email protected]) ), 'Administrateur (rulepar\Administrateur), "INTERACTIF",
"Administrateurs (rulepar\administrateurs), "Systeme" all have "Controle Totale"
, "Interactif" has "Lecture et Execution" and "Administrateyr
(rulepar\Administrateur) and "john willis ([email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) )
have "Special"
on the "Partage" (share?) tab there are two entries (Type = Autoriser"
Principal for "Administrateurs (rulepar\Administrateurs) and "Tout le monde
(everybody)
on the Audit tab there is nothing and on the Acces Effectif page there is
"Select a user but nothing else.
The title of this page is c:\users\Public@Desktop\Adobe Reader XI. lnk
under a page title "Parameters of advanced security for Adobe Reader XI

Is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

is anyone experiencing problems with opening mission control from the desktop. Running mountain lion with parallels 7 and windows 7

I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

Wits End! I'm running Adobe cs5 with Windows 7 - Bridge and Raw are Crazy slow!
