Cannot format DVD error "unable to complete the format."

Original title: Impossible to format error DVDs

Can anyone help. I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with service pack 2. I'm unable to format a DVD RW it comes back with an error message saying unable to complete the format. I have tried different brands of DVD, I saw it was a mistake before service pack 2 and there was a fix. I have SP2 and it will not apply the hotfix that is a quite old. Any ideas?

    I guess the real problem here is the drive working, not RAM. They both found messages 'insufficient memory '.

    Historically, Photoshop has always been remarkably well with large files and little RAM. Excess data which cannot be held in RAM are written to the drive to work, and even if it slows down things considerably, it really requires a lot to run Photoshop to a complete stop.

    Of course, you must move to a 64-bit version of Windows. As it is, Photoshop can use less than 2 of your installed 8 GB of RAM. It's not much, but do not attempt to allocate more than 70% in the PS preferences. Process of the operating system and other applications need RAM too. Allowance too will choke the rest of your system and send it to pimples without end-of-file exchange.

  • Gallery of Photoshop filters work only not with the "Unable to complete the operation" error box for PS CS6, CC, CC14, CC15 in Yosemite Mac, is produced in the Chinese version

    Hi all

    All Photoshop CS6, CC, CC14 CC15 have been updated in the latest version today. But the latest patch still does not fix the bug.

    Photoshop (Chinese simplified and Chinese traditional), just goes to show error message "Could not complete the operation" every time I click on a gallery of filters option. The issue started happening Mac Yosemite 10.10.2. No question too with the Mac version before 10.10.2.

    Version on Windows, it is normal, not this issue. I also tried using another language version of Photoshop, like English, it is normal without any problems. I also asked my Korean friend to use the software in Korean, no question too with Gallery of filters. But when I changed the language in traditional Chinese or simplified Chinese, the Gallery of filters will suddenly be not work with error "Can not complete the operation". When I change Photoshop to the other language, it will run normally.


    Here is the screenshot to understand clearly what I mean. It is not gray, it is not an accident. No crash no report at all. It simply doesn't get it.

    1.png

    2.png

    3.png

    The problem occurs in ANY kind of file, it is not the specific problem of files.

    Remove the preferences, running file at startup, new account admin, uninstaller + Running cleaning tool + reinstall again, everything that I have tried and it solve anything. Therefore, it is not the machine question or account number. It also happens to other Mac Yosemite as well. In the past, there was no question too (before 10.10.2).

    In the internet (the Chinese language forums), there are many users who are also reports on the same subject, but still no solution so far.


    Below link, there is also another Chinese user who reported the same issue, but no response (I think because there is no problem in the English version, so that the staff of Adobe don't know what exactly, we face to)

    PHOTOSHOP CC 2014 - Chinese version traditional to the function of filter Gallery, unable to work on MAC OSX 10.10.2

    It is without doubt a BUG!


    I don't know the reason to find Mac Yosemite or because of defects in Photoshop. However, please solve the problem as soon as POSSIBLE because not all customers can understand English, especially us who comes from countries whose inhabitants do not speak English.

    Hi all

    There is a patch to update to solve this problem

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/Crawlspace/2015/08/Photoshop-CC-2015-0-1-update-now-available.html

    I installed the update patch, and the problem is fixed in Photoshop CC2015 for Chinese version traditional & Chinese simplified.

    But the update patch is only for the PS CC2015 version, which means the question always remains CS6 and CC CC2014.

    At least, you can use your Chinese version of CC2015 first.

    However, when I tried to manipulate the dat inside Photoshop CC15 file and use it in CC14, my filters CC14 Gallery can also work now. And it can also solve the problem in CC PS too

    Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit OS is unable to complete the installation.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 of 2007 which came with Vista and has been updated 2 years later at 7 w. I had to reinstall 7 W... 3 or 4 times since 2010. I guess that my machine can't handle W7 very well.
     
    My current problem started with a BSOD problem. After trying some suggestions Internet on how to solve this BSOD problem that did not work, including repair of Windows, I did a data back up mode without failure and then decide to reinstall Windows 7 from the MS CD. My level of understanding is limited, but as noted, I've done this before with success. What I didn't understand is there seems to be another unsolved problem which does not allow the complete reinstallation of windows.
     
    I did a clean install, then a formatting and in both cases, W7 could not complete the installation. It progresses to the final stage of "complete installation" and then there is a second error message 1 that I can't read... "" a problem has been detected... close... "."  It seems to be a reboot loop.
     
    I have since read that the original BSOD problem and the 'detected problem' could also well be linked to the display driver. And this driver it must be disabled before performing a Windows installation. But I'm not able to access Safe Mode or the control panel to turn it off. If this driver is the problem, is there another way to turn it off?
     
    Or are there any other suggestions on how to complete the installation of the operating system?

    NVIDIA drivers are definitely outdated.

    If the system just stops (literally goes off), I suppose a marginal connection inside, an out-of-date driver or a heat problem.

    You can carefully and without requiring too much force, remove one reinstall all you cable and connection inside including your RAM and all other devices installed just do one thing at the time, so you don't mix.  One thing at a time... Unplug it and plug it in again.

    If she runs in Mode safe, your it would mean that the system uses the default XP video drivers (that is why everything is so GREAT in Mode safe).

    When you start normally and will charge drivers NVIDIA, things will run more hot.  Will increase the time on the CPU and video card.  Make sure that all your fans are running, and the system is properly ventilated and ventilated.

    If the CPU or processor on the video card is a problem of heat it just stop - no warning, no newspaper, no nothing.  Cool that turned off for awhile and it could work again for a bit.

    I use the NVIDIA site and let scan them online take a look at your video system and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new driver.

    It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

    Hello

    I am struggling with a few files Illustrator CS6 which does not more open with read-only error "unable to open the illustration." My illustrator can open on its own and other files are fine, but what happened now 3 of my files and its really frustrating.

    My work around at the moment was to open the corrupted format adobe acrobat files and save as .eps, files open in illustrator, but they aren't always the same thing in the end with layers and etc.

    What can I do for 'uncorrupted' these files in order to open or it least prevent this from happening again?

    You need not go through Acrobat. Simply create a new file in Illustrator and then place (embed) corrupted files.

    To avoid this:

    Make backup copies. Save different versions of files.

    Do not save directly to removable media or networks.
