Photoshop :: CS Loads But Disappears From Application List And Window
Sep 6, 2008
I have CS installed on my laptop. running WinXPPro, and unfortunately a few weeks ago CS started to behave badly. The program appears to load fine but 1 or 2 seconds after finally loading the program disappears from both the Application list and the window. The Task manager continues to show the Photoshop.exe process but its doing nothing. I have deleted preferences, I have re-installed, I have removed FlashPlayer (a CS3 problem sounded similar) all to no avail. Oddly enough ImageReady CS performs fine - it just doesn't give me the features I need access to do my work.
I'm running LR5 on Windows. I've got the grid view on my primary display and a second display showing the loupe view.
If the focus moves to another application (i.e. a small notepad window on the primary display) then I can still see LR with its grid view in the background behind notepad on the primary display however the loupe view on the second display disappears and I can see the desktop.
Is it possible to configure LR not to automatically hide the 2nd display when the input foucs moves to a different wiindow? I'd like to be able to continue displaying the image on the 2nd display while I'm doing something else on the primary display.
I've not been able to check but I've a feeling this is new behaviour in 5, I don't think 3 or 4 did this.
Whenever I maximize a document in Illu. CS6 it overrides the application menu! It simply covers my whole screen making it impossible to reach my menues unless i drag the documents corners to make it smaller or click the minimize icon.
all of a sudden everytime i try to "save as" a file the save as window pops up for a second then simply disappears and i cant click anything. the only thing i can do is shut down photoshop in the process list.

With an open file, if I drag it to a new position, the content of the picture disappears, showing only the desktop underneath.
If I click on it with any tool, the content comes back. Drag it again and the content disappears.
Of course, if I turn off OpenGL features in prefs, the behavior goes away (as do all of the cool features like continuous zoom, sharp at all zoom percentages, etc.).

I just began having problems with Photoshop today. I wanted to apply Blending Options to a layer. The Layer Style window opened but it was nowhere to be found! Because I could not access this window to either perform a task or close it, I had to Control/Alt/Delete because nothing else in the program would work. Obviously, it was waiting for a response to the window but as I couldn't see it, I couldn't access it. I've never had this problem before and I've just spent four hours trying to find the problem, including messing with screen resolutions and monitor designations (I use a laptop with a flat screen as #2 monitor). Can someone please help me!!Thanks, in advance, for your advice.
I like the openness and ability to click my desktop behind the image I'm working on. I know how to turn it off, but how do I KEEP it off? Every time I close and reopen photoshop it's back on, and I saved my workspace to see if that would result in any changes but it didn't. Didn't ever run into this issue on CS6.
why do brush-windows from the library disappear when restarting illustrator (even when saving the workspace)? idon't want to use the "brushes" window becauseui can't switch through my brush libraries as comfortable..
I have created a Textbox with autocomplete (suggest) in my UserControl that is put in an Autodesk.AutoCAD.Windows.PaletteSet. When I move my mouse over the dropdown list with the suggestions from autocomplete the list disappears. This makes it impossible to select a value from the list with the mouse. If I move the mouse cursor anywhere else in the usercontrol except over the dropdown list it stays open. How can this be fixed???
PS! I have added an event handler on textbox.focuslost and it is activated when I move the mouse over the dropdown list, so the textbox loses focus when this happens.
The Application Frame window opens up too tall on both my monitors. I cannot resize it nor access any of the tools at the bottom. Is there any other way to resize it except by grabbing it with the cursor and dragging the edge, since obviously I cannot do that when it sits offscreen?
All of a sudden my cursor will become invisible. This happens only with AutoCAD. and if I switch between drawing windows it will appear on another drawing file. I have to close the drawing and open it again and then the cursor will be back only to disappear again. The cursor is visible if I move it back to the ribbon or bottom controls. It seems to happen only when it becomes the cross-hair cursor. I can still make selection windows and right click.
Mouse is working fine with all other programs and drivers are up-to-date.
When I crop a cdr image, part of the image disappears within the crop window. Clicking inside the cropped image reveals node locations as if the image is still there but the black lines are invisible. But, there are some objects visible in the cropped image.
I'm trying to react to the AutoCAD application window being resized, that reaction is to move a form so that it stays in the bottom right hand corner of the AutoCAD application window. However, I cant seem to find a way to react to an AutoCAD application window resize event.
Macbook Pro Retina friends, photographers, and video editors.Since I installed OS X Maverick, I have the following issues with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6: Why in did I update my Apple OS before waiting 6 months
- browser window appears for a split second, then disappears when importing new files. - browser window sometimes shows all items greyed out when trying to import files. - cannot "Link Media" by example multiple TIFF and one EDL file for subtitles. 1st time menu appears a split second then disappears, then on subsequent tries all is greyed out.
I have a mid 2012 Macbook PRo Retina with SSD @ 50% capacity. All else is extremely fast.All my Adobe Master Collection CS6 is up to date.
I have softimage 2012 and motionbuilder 2012 installed. Soft does not have motion builder listed in the send to applications and motion builder does not have soft listed. How do I add them to both pieces of software so I can use the send to option?
it is possible to change the background color of the application window ?
I would like the whole area outside the drawing window (the drawing page) to be grey, so that it can be clearly distiinguished from the actual drawing page, which is white, with a shadow line around the drawing page.
My AutoCAD 2012 installation has been doing this for a while, but I don't remember it always doing this:
After I close a drawing (if it is the last drawing open), by using either the "close" command or by clicking the "x" on the window, instead of going to the generic gray-stripe background it just shows what the drawing looked like before close. This keeps messing with my head, as I think AutoCAD has just stopped responding.
If you look closely, though, you can see that the "AutoCAD" and "Autodesk" labels appear on the drawing, but I don't immediately notice this because my drawings are more complex than the sample drawing I've attached.
See images below.
However, when I manually resize the application window (either by restoring or maximizing, or by draging the window edge, the application window refreshes to show the proper generic gray-stripe background.
Just recently, I started having issue with Photoshop when opening a file outside the application (i.e., not doing it by using the File>Open command in Photoshop).
I click the file to open it in Photoshop and the application window shrinks almost entirely. It shrinks to about a 1-inchx1-inch square in the upper-left corner of my screen. I expand the window, and the image file that I had opened is also about 1x1, making the image about a millimeter in size. Of course, I increase the image to its actual size.
My question is: why is my Photoshop application doing this? It's a recent glitch; it hasn't always done this. I have not done any significant changes to the computer other than regular Windows updates.
I bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 but get the following alert: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory, Please reinstall the application." Can it be reinstalled? It is not available under "History" and none of the available installs appear to be for Mac OS X (Version 10.7.4). S
I have PSE9 and a macbook pro 10.9. I lost the original DVD that came with my purchase of PSE. Some files must have gotten corrupted because I can't open the program without reintalling. It says, "Some of the application components are missing from the application directory. Please reinstall the application." I have the serial number and all and I registered the product. Is there somewhere I can download a new copy to install?
at photoshop cs6 extended downloaded in july, i now get the following message: "some of the application components are missing from the application directory. please reinstall the application."
I am using Photoshop CS3 on a PowerPC Mac running OS X 10.4.11. Some days ago, I attempted to run photoshop by clicking the icon on the dock.The splash screen loads fine but immediately as the splash screen loads photoshop closes automatically. I have already tried the following:
1. Rename TWAIN file by adding the ~ in front of it
2. Deleting photoshop preferences by using Command+Shift+Option .
I have both PSE11 and PSE10. I have removed all my catalogue files off my MAC. PSE10 cannot find any catalogue files but PSE11 loads up with one. I search the hardrive for pse10db or any other catalogue files but find nothing. Where the heck is PSE11 locating the catalogue?
photo merge on cs5 loads and gaters all info but when it finishes, photo is not there.This has worked in past, but not now.I reloaded software and made sure windows was updated. Tried converting photos to other file formats.
