Photoshop crashes when changing screen mode

[Kristian Levin]

That is pretty much it pressing F results in a crash, it's not consistant, but it happens quite a lot and is costing me quite some time.
Anyone got ant idea what could be wrong.

Thank you in advance.

[Kristian Levin]

That's not very helpful Paul?

That's screen view mode.

May be the Open GL setting but not sure. Never encountered this situation on any of my machines or PS versions.

What CS version are you on?

 

[Kristian Levin]

Yes it's when I enter full screen...

I'm on CS6, and I've now tried to disable the GL settings. Doesn't the CS6 version seem very buggy?

 

[dv8_fx]

Not that bad compared to past versions.

Hang on... someone here may have encountered this....

 

[Kristian Levin]

I would love a solution, thank you

 

[dv8_fx]

Ahhhhh .... here we go...

There seems to be an issue with the F key use... 3D: OpenGL widget stops working in Full Screen Windows.

Hope this is the solution you need..

 

[Kristian Levin]

So if uncheck the open GL box, it might stop the crashes?

 

[dv8_fx]

Uncertain about that but you can try.

Visit the link I posted in case you may need the update for other fixes.

 

[Kristian Levin]

My photoshop have been updated to the the news version, do I need a special update?

 

[sprucemagoo1]

Going off you think cs6 is buggy, it may be a lack of ram or an inadequate possessor. What are your computer specifications.

 

[dv8_fx]

If your latest update is from adobe , it should be OK.

If your problem still persists, it may be your OPen GL setting or graphics card issue.

Try turning the GL off. If it still persists, someone here from a different time zone may have an answer.

And Spruce the sheep may have a point... lol...

 

[Kristian Levin]

I've turned it off now, and it seems to be working... Thank you so much man, you are saving us money!

On a Mac.... Should be good.

Spruce?

 

[Kristian Levin]

Yes I am on a mac, if that's whats your asking.

 

[dv8_fx]

With that spec, it's obviously a mac... lol...

 

[Kristian Levin]

Why is that?

 

[dv8_fx]

Nothing, Was just a side comment, I've seen those specs only on Macs.

Is your problem still recurring?

The Mac users of the forum will be on in while. They probably have a solution for you.
