No idea. Did you install your operating system with the same options as on the old drive or did you restore it from a backup? In the latter case, some paths may be askew because of that. I don't think there's any harm in uninstalling, if you deactivate before doing so. A clean re-install should definitely put the correct references in place so the broken features work again...

Depends on the type of drive. I can recommend Acronis TrueImage, which handles every file system, has full USB and FireWire support and even allows network backup. Newer versions shoudl also support eSATA drives.

I use Synctoy from Microsoft. It is free and does everything you are
looking for. I have mine running over a network so that what I am
working on on my laptop is mirrored on my main computer

If you only need to sync documents (not the entire system), SyncBackSE <http://www.2brightsparks.com/syncback/syncback-hub.html> (free) has worked well for me.

Unfortunately, Photoshop doesn't change the display profile, or anything about the display -- all it does is read the data provided by the OS.

So, you need to be looking at third party software, or the video card driver.

I've got a couple hundred C-41 Kodak disc film color negatives of old
family photos that I'm trying to scan. Each one consists of plastic
central disc, with 15 small rectangular negatives arranged in a circle
around the central disc. You can see an example here:
http://www.oldfilmprocessing.com/images/OldFilms/DeskFilm-Processing.gif

I would like to scan the entire thing, then somehow use an automated
photoshop action to cut out all the individual images, rotate them,
and save them. Obviously, cutting each one manually can take 15-20
minutes per disc, which is an unacceptable amount of time given the
number of discs I have.

Anyone have any ideas how this might be accomplished?

Thanks!

I'm unable to install Adobe CS3, CS4 on Windows 7 Beta x64. When I open "Setup.exe" - Windows shows error window "Adobe Setup has stopped working" and offers me to send more info about this problem.
How to install it?

I don't think CS3 and CS4 were tested with Windows 7 beta, nor will it be supported.

problems yourself and call on other Beta testers for their know-how."

I've found the solution!
start regedit
navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions
rename MachineThrottling to _MachineThrottling

All I can tell you is that CS4 installed just fine for me here...on a
TEST MACHINE.

If you've put Win7 on a production machine, I would have to question
your sanity.

Dear reader,

I've just reinstalled Windows on my PC, and have to reinstall photoshop CS2 as well. But, I've lost my install disc. I've called Adobe to get a new install disc, but they only have CS3 and up :(

Is there anyone who can copy the CD for me, because as Adobe said, this would the only option left, otherwise I must upgrade my license to CS4 :-(

Thank u! Please let me know

Adobe advised you to have someone copy their disk and send it to you?

Yes they did, because they didn't have a sollution for this problem. Only to buy CS3 or up.

Perfectly legal as long as no serial number accompanies it. No different
than had he made that backup copy himself.

That said, I can't help, I only have suite disks.

there are some sites on the internet that sell software for <ahem> backup purposes where you might be able to pick up a disk. just don't use the accompanying serial #.

Not that I wouldn't trust. Who knows what type of nasties are added to
the code.

Yes Indeed Bob, I don't want a virus or worm on my PC, that's exactly why I reinstalled my Windows ;-) But is there anyone who can make a copy. I'm willing to pay for the copy, but it's much cheaper than buy a upgrade to CS3 or CS4 :)

It's only Photoshop CS2 (the English/US version ofcourse)

Hey folks

I'm starting to rip my hair out now and I'm hoping someone around here can help. It's pretty urgent as I've got a hell of a lot of work to do for university and the problems i'm having are really hampering my progress.

I've just rebuilt my PC with the following specs:

CPU - Intel I7 920 2.66ghz Quad Core
Mobo - Asus P6T Deluxe OC Palm Edition
RAM - 6Gb G.Skill DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600mhz) (9-9-9-24) RAM in Triple Channel setup
GPU - BFG nVidia GeForce GTX280 1024mb OC2 Edition
HDDs - Seagate 500GB 32mb Cache SATA II Main drive, Western Digital 500GB 16mb Cache SATA II Documents Drive, Western Digital 320GB 16mb Cache SATA II Photoshop Scratch Disk
PSU - Hyper Type M 880W
Case - Coolermaster Cosmos

I am using Windows XP Pro x64 Edition and the 64bit version of CS4.

I'm quite pleased with the system so far, it pretty much obliterates everything you throw at it without blinking an eye. However, I am absolutely stumped as to why the in the world Photoshop CS4 (and CS3) are running as if my system is 10 years old...

So here's what's happening:

After rebuilding my system with the above specs I have installed Photoshop CS4 and have opened up a painting I have been working on. I zoom in and the screen redraw is sickeningly slow. I hold space and drag the canvas to navigate around it, and again the redraw rate is terrible and results in what I can only describe as more like a render in something like 3D Max than simply dragging the canvas in Photoshop. While the brush control is smooth for the most part, when painting using several quick strokes I get a lot of lag after a little while which manifests as my brush strokes not registering and then all of a sudden happening at once.

Now, I have CS4 installed on my other system at my parents house which has the following specs:

Intel Core2Duo E6750 2.66ghz (OCed to 3.1ghz) CPU
Asus P5KE Deluxe Motherboard
8GB OCZ DDR2 800mhz RAM
BFG nVidia GeForce 9600 GT OC2 Edition
2x Seagate 250gb HDDs (Not in RAID)

And with this system, Photoshop CS4 works great with the only exception being the OpenGL support not being supported.

I have updated all of the drivers on this i7 system. I've even reinstalled older versions of the video card driver and still I get lag. I've uninstalled Nod32 Antivirus, Comodo Firewall, stopped Diskeeper from automatically defragging and ended lots of uneeded processes but I still get this problem. I've uninstalled my Wacom Tablet drivers and used the mouse in Photoshop and that hasn't helped. I've reinstalled 3 older versions of Wacom Drivers also to no avail.
I've even formatted and tried a fresh install.

Also, I tried reinstalling Photoshop CS3 and get similar problems. Only in CS3 there is no issue with the redraw rate, only it lags all of a sudden while trying to navigate an image with space held down and dragging on the mouse or wacom pen (or a blank canvas for that matter) then it will freeze the images movement then suddenly jump.

I've not had these problems on previous builds and older less powerful systems and with the amount of money I have thrown at this latest PC build I am really starting to lose my mind.

If anyone can please give me any advice on this I would really appreciate it. Also, if anyone has any ideas how to enable OpenGL on Photoshop I would really appreciate that too - i simply cannoy believe that a high end card such as the GTX 280 or even a popular mid range card like the 9600 Gt doesn't support Open GL on 3 versions of drivers.

Thanks everyone.

Did you aread the umpteen threads discussing any of this? Did you notice
that XP 64 is totally unsupported?
