I have photoshop cc 2015. For the last 2 days it does not open when I double-click the icon. What can I do to fix this?
OK completely reboot Windows 7. When he started to look in the Task Manager under process for photoshop.exe it shouldn't be there. If it is highlighted and press the button end process. Now right-click the Photoshop icon and select run as administrator. Photoshop starts, you should see photoshop.exe in the list of running processes. When you close Photoshop it should disappear from the list.

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.htmlFor 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.

My hard drives do not open when I double click on them
Well, I tried to open my local drives by double clicking it or by entering. But a dialog box appears asking what application I want to open them. I tried in Folder Options and also in editing the registry. But, unfortunately, I couldn't get it solved. But I still think, I need to do some repair work. I scanned my computer for viruses and it's erased. If you could, please tell me a way to solve this problem.

2 screws open when I double-click on main.vi in the project manager
When I opened my main.vi project vi another Manager opens with her. Not really a problem but a little strange and annoying. LV2011.
If it's always the same VI which opens, VI is probably ready to open the front panel when loading. Look in the properties of VI-> the appearance of the window-> customize. Right Left side, the bottom box.

Hello. I use Photoshop CC 2014 on a MAC with os x LION. I also have Photoshop CS6 installed. When I double-click on a file in Bridge CC, it always opens in CS6. If I say 'OPEN WITH Photoshop CC 2014', or if I drag the file directly to the CC, 2014 in the Dock, it will open in CC. Since I want to double click or hit back in the deck, I constantly have to wait that the file opens in CS6, CS6 abandonment then opens another way to get into Photoshop CC 2014. I tried to disable CS6 by hiding, but double-clicking Bridge has nothing. Any ideas why this happens?
Check and adjust the file types Associations in cc Bridge preferences.

Bridge will not open the NEF files, when you double-click on them, using PS CC
I installed the latest version of PS CC and the bridge, but when I go to my Nikon NEF files and double-click it to open, they open in some weird Photo Gallery of the window, then I went Bridge preferences and reset settings, and now when you double click it nothing happens and they open at all. I use a PC with Windows 7.
I posted this question before, I need help, please
If you go into Bridge preferences > File Type Associations, it does the default list?
If it does not list Adobe Photoshop CC you can use the Browse button to
the Photoshop.exe in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC

Double click on an element of the extreme right or the last column
-All content automatically scrolls to the left so that the column of the element double you clicked is now in the first column of the windowIt is REALLY BORING because it causes bad clicks when it scrolls or to always click 4 times to open a folder or a file if it is located on the far right or the last column.
