• PS CS6 and Windows 8 graphics issues

  Hello!
  
  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Windows 8 Pro and I've noticed a few graphic problems in CS6. The flickering background, the image turns black, etc. After a little searching I found others who also had the issue. (Here and here). I also read the blog post by Jeffrey Tranberry recommending switching to the basic drawing Mode that solves the problem, however, by switching to the basic drawing Mode, who am I losing feature?
  
  When we look through the preferences of PS I also noticed something interesting. Look at this screenshot:

  
  
  
  Notice the VRAM? 209310 MO! This is a fast video card! Of course, this number is complete wrong and I wonder if it is related to the question above?
  
  Here are my PC Specs:
  
  CPU: AMD FX 4100 Quad Core 3.6 Ghz 64-bit
  OS: Windows 8 Pro (Release - Windows 7 upgrade version)
  RAM: 8 GB
  Graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6670
  Video driver: catalyst 12.10 (compatible driver Windows 8)
  
  Is it a PS problem or a problem in the video card driver and Windows 8? I have not seen other errors in Windows with other programs. (Granted that other programs do not use the GPU as the PS done.)
  
  Please let me know if you need more information.
  

  Hi Linda,.

  Yes this is all related to driver problems with the fall of ATI 12.10 and impacts Psalm in opting for the basic mode, color management is managed on the CPU, and you may see an impact on performance with OpenGL rendering (3D on-screen interaction, I think requires the Normal parameter or advanced).

  Kind regards

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

  On my installation of Vista, all windows updates no longer work.  If I try and run them from Windows Update in Control Panel one starts to run but then it just hangs.  At the same time, I get a message "Windows install Module has stopped working and closes".  If you look in the services, it is crushed, but restarts.  The update remains always hung.  It doesn't matter what update I try and run, I always get the same result.

  When the computer is shut down, it also tries to automatically install updates.  These also hang on the first, which means that I have to force power off the computer.

  Don't know if this is related, but I don't think that SP2 already installed - it kept if crush (don't remember what was the error message).  When I restart in safe mode it tells me that I'm still on SP1.  I followed all the suggestions on how to get SP2 installed for the error I received, but nothing has worked.

  Do not really understand what I have really installed a lot of "_" on the PC, it is a "clean" installation (about 1 year now).

  Any ideas?  Really, I don't want to have to do a re-install, but I suspect that is where I'm heading unfortunately.

  Hi AndrewInNZ,

  Thanks for visiting the site of the community of Microsoft Windows!
   
  I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue:
   
  (a) did you try to temporarily disable the security software and check if updates are smooth?
   
  (b) you are using a firewall in addition in instead of the windows firewall? If so disable (temporarily) of the third party firewall and look for updates.
  It is usually caused by a 3rd party firewall that it blocks the internal ports.

• Dual boot Windows Vista and Windows 8

  Hello world

  I'm having the following problem: I had Windows 7 as primary OS (C drive) and then installed Windows 8 (on drive D) that is of dual boot. Everything was working fine until I decided to remove Windows 7 from the drive C. I have formatted the drive using Acronis Disk Director 11. After the reboot, the computer was not bootable. I had a reistallation DVD of Vista and installed. Now, I have Windows Vista on C and Windows 8 for D drive that is not bootable. My question is how to get rid of Windows 8 without having my computer starts plu?

  Thanks in advance,

  Peter

  Hello

  try to start your computer in safe mode on Vista and remove windows 8 in d ' training of formatting it and check if the problem is resolved.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  If you still have the sam e problem then see below

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  See you soon.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

  As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

  As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the provided link and do a repair of the disc.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista repair disc.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  There is not a disk of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can save your data in Mode safe, ifit loads correctly.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  You can only do a upgrade repair facility if the Service Pack on the Vista DVD is not lower than the SP installed, in your case you have installed SP2.
  DVD SP level. must be the same or higher to be able to do a repair installation.
  Your DVD must be SP2

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Unless you do regular backups, nothng is guaranteed re data.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1 in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  Hello

  What do you use for security?

  If you are using an Internet Security Suite, it will have its own firewall and disables the default Windows Firewall.

  And you should have only one firewall to avoid problems related to the operating system.

• HP Pavilion p6330f and Windows 8 - firmware issues as possible

  Hello!

  I installed Windows 8 on my (greatly improved) p6330f... and I have a few problems that were fixed with updates of the firmware posted on the page for this model of computer.   I installed the updates of the firmware under Windows 7, and there is no version of Windows 8 updates.

  Here are the updates that are on the page-

  BIOS: fixed fan speed< i="" am="" having="" this="" issue="" again="" while="" running="" windows="">
  SATA hard drive update: data is not properly registered< i="" am="" having="" this="" issue="" again="" after="" running="" windows="" 8="" (especially="" with="">

  New versions of the firmware we will post for Windows 8, or I come to Windows 7?   Please advise...  I updated all parts of this machine in addition to the motherboard and processor (16 GB DDR3, 2 TB drives, AMD Radeon HD, the new power supply graphics card) and I have tweaked Windows 8 to a point where I like it so I don't want to go back to Windows 7.

  Thank you.

  card BIOS update mother MS-7613 and the SATA hard drive Firmware update has been permenently wrote in the BIOS of the computer chip and the chip of the firmware of the hard drive. The updates actually changed the code in hardware and change the operating system will not cancel these changes. The BIOS/firmware updates are still part of the material regardless of the currently installed operating system. The reason why HP lists updates that are compatible with Windows 7, because their installer has only been tested for use with Windows 7 and the controls to see that Windows 7 is installed before upgrading the system.

  No update of Windows 8 will be available for your computer because of his age. You can check your BIOS version to verify that it is still in the v5.15 and you can do the same for the hard disk and make sure it is "BX". Other than that, the computer is not supported by HP for use with Windows 8 and HP will not provide drivers or updates for the computer.

  BTW... I see that you have two of the same post... label, and the forum rules dictate a single post for a specific subject.
