Photoshop :: Crashing - Can Only Restart Computer?
Jul 25, 2012
I use a program that can consume memory like a dragon can consume humans (had to think of a good metaphor ) When I start up photoshop while this program is in use or when I exit the other program, photoshop will crash, almost instantly. The only solution is to restart the computer.
Is there a solution to this without having to restart the computer ? There is plenty of physical RAM, including 20+ gigs of virtual memory incase. Despite all this, photoshop continues to crash.

I frequently use Photoshop CC to create panoramic images with Photomerge. I've found that as soon as I start the Photomerge process, my computer becomes absurdly slow. I'm not terribly surprised by this - my primary issue is that the computer remains insanely slow long after I've closed Photoshop CC. The only solution I've found is to restart the computer. Even this can be difficult, because the computer becomes slow enough that it takes minutes to shut down.
I want to make a point clear here: I'm not complaining about how my computer becomes slow while using Photomerge. I believe this is to be expected on a laptop such as this. The problem is that my otherwise fast computer becomes wildly slow even after I'm done and Photoshop is closed. Photoshop seems to run just fine otherwise.
I'm using an otherwise problem-free 15'' Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion (10.8.4). Computer specs: 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM, Intel HD Graphics 3000 (512 MB). I currently have memory usage set to 80% under performance preferences.

Recently I downloaded a driver tuner for ATI drivers which have become inactive on my computer or outdated. Don't know if this has anything to do with this recent message in Photoshop Elements. I tried to manage photos in Elements and got the error message 150:30 and was told to restart my computer. I've restarted twice and given up.

I edited a wedding video that is over 90 minutes long (it was a wedding in Ireland). It was filmed in AVCHD on a pro video camera.
I wanted to produce a standard DVD and a Blu Ray copy to send over. The DVD copy rendered fine but the Blu Ray as well as the AVCHD file crashed every time and even crashed the computer to re-start. It crashed at around 30% in and I tried a number of different combinations to accomplish this render.
What I then did after a few attempts was to look at the last frame of the couple of files it did render to see where on the time line it was crashing.
It turned out it was on a transition I customised, I think using proDAD VitaScene. It was a transition that created a twinkling star effect from one scene to the next. As soon as I removed this one transition and it rendered a Blu Ray file with no problems at all.
One question though, I am not sure why there are so many choices of Blu Ray and AVCHD in the menu. What is the difference and which one would be the generally used one.

I run CS4 on Windows 7. Whenever I boot up, I get an error/prompt that says I have to restart the computer for updating to continue.
I know this has been discussed in many different places here, and I have tried everything everything I can find in them. Sometimes I get a fix, and then the next time updater runs, it's back.
Why can't this well-discussed problem be fixed in an update sometime? Or, perhaps this is my penance for still using CS4.

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I've found that every once in a while the keyboard becomes unresponsive. I can't tell whether anything specific that I'm doing triggers it, but I'll be editing an image and will press a shortcut key and find it doesn't work. It doesn't happen when I first open up an image, but usually after I've been working for a while. As far as I can tell (it's pretty random) it seems to happen when I'm using a tool to apply an effect to an image, like this last time it happened when I'd been using the Spot Healing Brush repeatedly on a photograph. (Of course that could be correlation without causality, since I'm a big fan of the Spot Healing Brush and tend to use it quite a bit whenever I'm editing photos). Note that the modifier keys still function, but all of the letter and number keys are unresponsive.
Sometimes - and lately it seems like it happens always, there's a sound associated with the shut off. It's possible that the times I didn't hear the sound I had my speakers off. It's a brief clicking noise - and I don't think it's any of the built-in alert sounds on my Mac, since I just listened to all of them and I recall this sound being different - but the sound is definitely coming from my speakers and is not a mechanical sound from the machine. The only way I've found to get my keyboard responding again is to shut down Photoshop and restart.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, with 8GB Ram; I'm on OS X 10.7.4 (not quite ready to upgrade to Mountain Lion).

I have CS5 installed on a desktop computer that crashed and I can't get it working to deactivate CS5. I am going to purchase a new desktop and would like to install CS5 on the new computer, but it was already installed on two computers (desktop and laptop) so no activations are left. I have the Disk and serial number.

Photoshop elements 11 new installation
Laptop HP Pavilion dv& 4040sa
Windows 7 Professional 64
All worked correctly immed. after first install. Closed down PsE and then tried to reopen; the opening screen displayed and I was able to open the Organiser. Nothing happened when when I tried to open the editor from the Organiser. Closed down and then tried opening the editor from the opening screen - this screen closed and no editor appeared.
Logged off Windows and tried PsE again - all worked correctly until I closed down then as before.
Reinstall of PsE - no difference. Tried the 6 suggestions by a contributor to a similar problem 2 days ago - no difference. Premiere Elements 11 works correctly at all times.

Organizer and Editor launch after computer restart. But, after exit the program, only Organizer will re-launch- Editor won't. The PSE Editor PROCESS continues to run in the Task Manager even AFTER I close the Editor. - and ONLY if I END the Process in Task Manager ( or re-start the computer) will the Editor then launch. Did a clean install. Problem continues.

If I close down PE11 (Trial) the Organizer will not restart unless the PC is shutdown and turned on again. The editor will restart without a problem but not the Organizer.

The issue comes at random; upon starting PS CS6 (32-bit or 64-bit) it won't be able to open ANY files, of ANY file type (.psd, .jpg, .png, etc.)If by some miracle it DOES open a file, it won't be able to edit it; i.e. upon drawing a line with the brush tool, PS will delete the line when you lift off the mouse.
Things I've tried or tested include making sure the file wasn't read only, making sure it was a valid file, and deleting the preferences.I never have this problem on the school computers (all our school computers are late-model iMacs), but I've had this problem on two seperate Windows 7 64-Bit PCs.
The only way to fix it is to do a complete system reboot; even now though I've done three reboots & it still won't work anymore. My system specs for my desktop are:
Intel Core i7 960 (3.2GHz, 8MB Cache)
nVidia GeForce GTX 680
12GB Triple Channel 1333MHz DDR3
Windows 7 64-Bit Basic

I started a new computer with LR5, and it runs fine. But, when I imported my pics from a previous computer running LR4, all the pics loaded into the new LR without any tags or processing. How can I get that info without having ot reprocess thousands of pictures?

I have a problem to save my Viewport Settings.I wanted my blueprints to look smooth, so I increased the "Background texture size" to 1024 and checked the "Match Bitmap Size as Closely as Possible". I did the same analog to "Download Texture Size". Everything works fine until I close 3ds Max and open it again. --> The settings are back do default and my blueprint is blurry.
My system:
Windows 7 x64
Intel i5 750 @2,67GHz
6GB DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon HD5800 Series (new driver!)
3ds Max 2012

my buttons in my custom shelf disappears when I restart maya. maya has admin privileges and the prefs folder in my documents is not read only and my user account has the privilege to access/write this folder. I'v tried renaming my prefs folder so that maya creates a new pref folder when it starts. that way the shelf works but in that way my other settings are lost.

getting a weird problem. at first when I had 2 image planes (front and side) every time I saved my scene and restarted, they would both disappear from perspective view. but they were still showing in ortho view. I'd have to delete the image plane and make it again. after adding a back camera with its own image, saving and restarting: it started to have all of them show in perspective, but now front and side dont show in ortho.
edit:: the first issue happens in 2011. the second in 2012. back cam probably has nothing to do with it.

I've been experimenting with LR4, but can't figure out how to reset all keywords and restart from scratch.
I've deleted every catalog I can find (they were all under a Lightroom folder under Pictures).
I start Lightroom and create a new catalog. I exit, delete the default catalog and restart.
I import a folder with about 6 images, each with a few non-hierarchical keywords.
Lightroom gets inventive and puts them into hierarchies that it remembered from earlier in the day when I had imported keywords from Bridge and then tried to fix the mess Lightroom made of them. Where is it getting these old hierarchies from??
How do I stop this nonsense and start clean?

I have some macros that change different layers on/off and have them set to numbers keys 1-6. Works the first time but after a restart they dont work anymore. Even if i change them to any other un-used key they stop working after the restart. The remain listed in the customize screen but dont do anything until i edit and re-tick the box.
I have other macros on other keys and don't think i did anything different when i setup these ones.

I'm having troubles with the inventor 2013 shortcuts.
Actually, i have to confirm my selection when i have 2 aliases starting with the same key (for example : D for dimension, and DF for discussion forums).
The fact is i never use the DF shortcut, and want to clean it up, or at least change it. When i do, it works well, until i restart inventor.
When i restart Inventor, shortcuts configuration resets and i have to do the change again.
I found a way to not spend that much time on changing them, with exporting/importing settings, but it's still annoying to import every time i start Inventor.
Dell precision M6600
Quadro 3000M
Windows 7 64 bits
French version of Inventor

Command Bars? In former times (Inventor 2010) User could define his own Command Bars.
I wrote an AddIn which defines a Command Bar containing one Button. Works fine. Now I define my own Command Bar, by Tools > Customize, and move the button from AddIn's Comman Bar to user-defined Command-Bar. Each time I restart Inventor the Button from user-defined Commandbar gets lost.
Is this an Inventor issue or is something wrong with my AddIn?

I'm working on a javascript that goes through a folder, rasterizes the paths inside each file, and saves the results as separate files in another folder. My script works fine on individual files as well as for several simple files. However, once it gets going on some of the big ones, it starts to give me PARM errors.
Illustrator CS5.1Windows XP, SP3 (work computer)JavascriptThe CAD export that created the pdf and eps files broke any curves into tons of tiny straight lines. As a result, these drawings can have 15-35 thousand paths per image.
Get the source and destination directoriesOpen a file from the source directoryGo to the first layer of the fileLoop through all text items to move them to their own layerLoop through all path and compound paths to move them to a groupRasterize the group of path itemsRepeat for the next layer and so onSave the file to the destination directoryRepeat the process for the next file and so on.The scripting guide suggests it could be from conflicting functions or global variables overwriting each other. However, my script is now entirely contained within its own function, and all variables are declared locally. Running from a clean illustrator and ESTK startup, it will still produce a PARM error after a few large files.
The guide also suggests having the script quit and re-launch Illustrator after working on many files. Since I assume these huge diagrams are probably several "normal" files' worth of objects each, I figured it probably just needs to restart Illustrator after x amount of stuff goes through. So I look in the guide's section on launching Illustrator through javascript. That basically says "Why would you ever need to do that?" I tried looking it up in the tools guide, but that document isn't very clear at all.
1. What would I have to do so Illustrator doesn't throw a PARM error on the line marked below? (besides just putting it in a try/catch and pretending it didn't happen) It doesn't consistently happen on the same file or even at the same point in the file, but always at that line.
This is just a tiny part of the script. objectClass is a placeholder for PathItems, CompoundPathItems, etc. Looping backwards and setting the group to null at the end were just experiments, neither of which had any effect on the error.
if(objectClass.length > 0){
var objectGroup = myLayer.groupItems.add();
for(var i = objectClass.length; i > 0; i--){
objectClass[i-1].move(objectGroup, ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING); //This one keeps breaking stuff.
}
sourceDoc.rasterize(objectGroup, rastBounds, rastOptions);
objectGroup = null;
}
2. Failing that, how can I relaunch Illustrator through javascript? Or a limited amount of VBScript, though my knowledge of that is limited too.

I'm trying to include the Autodesk 360 SP1 in my 2014 deployment. Its working fine but it prompts for a restart and I'd rather not require user action to complete the install. (the users here restart frequently enough to deal with this anyway)
I have tried the following switches in the parameters section to no avail:
/s /qn
/s /v/qn
/s qn "REBOOT = ReallySupress"
/s /v/qn "REBOOT = ReallySupress"
