• First Pro CS5 never uses more than 15% of CPU, so perform much more slowly than first 6.5!

  Hello.

  I make videos of marriage for a while. My material included map DV500DVD and first 6.5 CPU Core 2 Duo E8400, 2 GB of RAM, Windows XP SP1 (DV500 does not work with SP2 or SP3).

  The above system is quite old and absolutely not usable for HD videos. So, I decided to build another machine. The configuration is the following:

  OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.

  M/b: Asus LGA 1155, H67 chipset.

  CPU: Intel Core i7 - 2600K

  RAM: 4 GB DDR3

  HARD drive: 2 x 64 GB SSD, 2 TB SATA (RAID) 4 x (all drives connected to separate the controller PCI-E chipset fault intel isn't a problem here)

  I recently downloaded and installed the first Pro CS5 trial version, to see how he adapts to my needs. And I'm very disappointed. I started the first, chosen preset widescreen DV, inserted two static images on the timeline and made a mix alpha between them. Then put movie export. Not only it took too long to make, but it only used a nucleus, and the CPU usage is only 15%. Just out of curiosity, I installed first 6.5 on the same system, and he did this task about 10 times faster!

  That is, limitation of the trial version, or just first Pro CS5 cannot be used with this modern processor?

  Thanks in advance,

  Alex

  I can understand your experience... After I installed Windows 7 and CS5 Production Premium, adding another 8 Gig of Ram for my PC, dying on the fact that my Nvidia Quadro FX 4600 is not able to use the reading mercury and literally hours of waiting for spending returns, on a hunch, and after reading about someone else who did the same thing.  Finally, I took my old PP CS3 and installed on alongside first CS5. To my surprise, with 64-bit OS, CS3 running and makes exactly the same content about 4 times faster, does not idiosyncratic seizures slow when moving clips in the timeline, no white on the error screen "not responding" messages, etc.etc. I have no problem with After Effects or Photoshop CS5, they work fine, but first CS5 is close not functional as it gets. A: 30 minutes with some effects of magic bullet, even native capture HDV format takes about 10 minutes with PPCS3... and about 45 minutes with CS5. CS3 also reads smoother and barely stutters, so that I have to sit and to return with CS5 because of choking in order to continue working. One post suggested that I don't have enough gas in the machine, dual core AMD Opterons 3.2 GHZ, disks, 16 Gig ram working 7200 and 10 000 rpm... but cannot see how CS5 can maybe make CS3 on the same stage. What I'm missing here? I'm not whining just baffled.

• Vista has stopped turning the games run for a long time.

  Vista has stopped turning the games run for a long time. The display would go crazy and the sytem would lock. Gotta make a stop with the power button. No errors are recorded. I re-installed the game. Same thing. I reinstalled Vista 64. Same thing. I get about 3 minutes in the game and then locking the. 1 single game still work (BioShock2). COD - MW2 and COD MW lock the sytem. One is direct install, and the other is the steam. I have a video card Nvidia GTX 280 with the latest drivers from Microsoft. Before the reinstall, I tried to install the most recent NVIDIA. Did not help. Yet the locks without showing error. About half of the time it stops at my off video card a few seconds after that the display goes crazy. BioShock uses DirectX 10, and others use DirectX 11. I read on some sites that 11 causes the video crashes on some systems. I want to know is why 11 is working for so long and stop NOW. Is there a way to make the games all run on 10? COD BlackOPS crashes too. I played ALL these games over and over again until the last 3 weeks. If there was some error to post logs I would but there is not. Any suggestions on where to find some kind of problem that could cause this? The video card was removed, cleaned and put back into the computer. Still crashes. 1 in 4 of the games will take place without any problems. 3 will be blocking of the computer and the video trash in 3 minutes or less to start the game. The video is great, until blocking.

  Suggestions on how to fix or where to additional troubleshooting for the cause will be greatly appreciated.

  Try running the memory and the hard drive scan to make sure that both are good.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/check-a-drive-for-errors

  If both check good, the map may be at fault. In which case it is overheating you can manually increase the fan speed in the Nvidia Control Panel.

• Virus on my computer. Windows Vista has been altered by the virus and my computer does not have a product key

  My computer caught a SERIOUS virus that damaged my beta Windows Vista together. So I've upgraded to Windows 7, however, I have not the key product for Windows Vista or 7. Is it possible to set this up with Windows Vista or 7 because my product key for computers, which was at the back of it, has been erased or worn.

  The product key on the back of your laptop is for what version of
  Windows it came with and may not be used for all other versions. If you
  don't have a product key for Vista or Windows 7, the laptop
  no doubt supplied with XP. Is this correct?

  If it came with XP, it is very old and it is almost certainly elsewhere
  low power for Windows 7. In addition the drivers you need for Windows
  7 there are almost certainly not, and you will not be able to run
  Windows 7 on it.

  At this point, you are probably in trouble no matter what you do. You
  must reinstall Windows XP itself, but you no longer have your
  product key and you probably haven't a Windows XP CD no more. You
  can try to ask the manufacturer of the laptop to a XP CD and product
  key, but I doubt if you can get at this late date.

  You can buy a copy of Windows 7, but once, you are likely in a way
  low power for the drivers you need and it will be unavailable.

• Flash CS3 Pro CS6: games works more slowly?

  Good, everyone. I will try to explain the problem I encounter as concise as I can:

  I just got a new iMac (10.8.2) and I got all my stuff in CS3 hover over with a transfer system. However, Flash CS3 has this message "error initializing java runtime environment" and I can't get it repaired despite the number of 'solutions' that I found, mainly because the patches are for older versions of Mac and its operating systems. That said, if anyone has found a fix for this problem on the new iMacs and operating systems, please let me know and ignore everything that I'm about to ask questions on below.

  However, I decided to give a whirl CS6 and see if I should go ahead and upgrade to one. The problem that I am running is disconcerting say the least. I was doing a game in Flash CS3 and Actionscript 3 on my old Macbook Pro (2007-2008ish) and I managed to run at a solid 60 frames per second. This is not really surprising, given how little there is in the game so far, but I am concerned that they run slower when running through Flash CS6 on a computer more recent (2.9 Ghz Intel Core i5, 8 GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M 512 MB).

  I tested the executable (.app) both the .swf, and both run much slower than they should. Cadence plunges even when there is nothing on the screen except for the character and background. Curiously, if I have the game running in Flash Player 9, it works fine, but everything else (10 and more) runs significantly more bad.

  Anyone know why the game will run more slowly? I even tried to use hardware acceleration, and there was no change whatsoever. If the files that I opened, .as files both .fla, were at the origin of the CS3 files? Creating CS6 files from scratch and then bring the content and code on would fix the problem?

  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

  Ian

  Never experienced sth. Like this. It should not matter if you are publishing to Flash Player 9 (CS3) or 11 (CS6).

  I even tried to use hardware acceleration

  Hardware acceleration will be most often slow down your fps if you are not using the Stage3D/Starling features, you will need to disable your Flash Player via right click options, too, though. It would be my first guess would default to HwAcc a new installed Flash Player 11.5, so you must manually, turn off when it does.

  If its possible for you: load 2 (CS3 - swf, CS6 - swf) Versions of your game to the top and post the link, then I could test it in Windows to see if his mayba a number Macrelated.

• CS - 6 Prod Prem would work more slowly if loaded on a dedicated HARD disk

  Aloha,

  I have a custom built PC for video editing.  I ran before CS - 4 on this machine until I improved things to prepare for CS - 6.  The system has an AMD2 + PHENON QUAD CORE 2.3 GHz CPU, 8 GB of RAM, Radeon HD6750 vc.  The OS is WIN7 SP1 has 15 GB of space left on a dedicated 60 GB SDD, (a primary of 100 MB partition resides here also who may or may not be part of the remaining space).  My data, with no connection with what whether Adobe is located on 200 GB HARD drive, I have a drive HARD 250 GB to use for the cache files and preview a 500 GB of HARD drive to use for files of individual program CS-6 and a 1 TB of HARD drive to use for all source video and photos.

  I am concerned about the free space remaining to 15 GB on the SDS where WIN7, when CS - 6 is such a Devourer of space hoarding 10.5 GBs leaving about as left of 4.5 GB for future use.  I am wanting to know if I load CS - 6 on a partition on the HDD of 250 GB and use the rest of it for the cache files and preview it would run more slowly?  I don't see the alternative to load on SDS with WIN7 and hope for the best.

  Does anyone have any ideas?

  Mahalo-n-aloha...

  Windows itself can actually stop you install the files on your SSD if you're low on space. It will start more slowly at the launch of a disc paltter? Yes. It will be generally slower? N ° once loaded in mmemory, records don't matter beyond the file operations and swap...
