Hope someone can help me. I just installed the trial version of CS4 on a Dell Optiplex 745 running XP SP3 with a Radeon X1300 (with latest drivers) and HP2465 monitor. I have also installed LR 2.1 on the same machine a while ago and it works flawlessly. I have huge issues with the CS4 trial version.
1. when i open CS4, when I click on file, almost all the entries are greyed out – except for Import, Automate and Scripts. even Exit is greyed out. if I click on Automate and get back, I can do normal operations like open, open in bridge, etc.
2. when i click on the spot healing brush tool, CS4 crashes. Error signature says AppName: photoshop.exe, ModName: icm32.dll.
3. when i go to smart sharpen, in the magnified view, there is no change if i move any of the sliders. all i see is a flicker.
4. When I try to edit in CS4 from LR2.1, CS4 opens but it does not open the image file.
find CS4 very flaky. i doubt it is the software as a ton of people are using CS4 successfully. I suspect the problem is with my confifuration – most likely display controller related.
Until this is resolved, i will go back to CS3 which works flawlessly on the same machine.
Can somebosy shed some light? Thanks & regards
