Photoshop CS4 not working on VISTA > images are distorted ?

Hi All,

I have installed the trial version of Photoshop CS4 on my vista computer on everytime I open a photos it's all scrambled up. Only the preview of teh raw files seem to be working once in CS4 they are distorted !

Any idea what could be causing that ?

Thank you for your help

Kev

Turn off hardware acceleration in the prefs, something's not right with your graphics card or its driver.

Try posting your attachment within the message (the little camera icon). Attachments will be kept for days before we can see them. My first guess, without seeing the image, is that you look to see if your video drivers are up to date. Old drivers can do wonky things to a picture.

Here is the photo :

I use a spyder to correct my display color. It seem to be blocking me from chaning the accelration.

Could that be causing the problem ?

problem with OpenGL, upgrade Photoshop to 11.0.1 and also upgrade your video card drivers to the latest version and if it still doesn't help then disable OpenGL Drawing from Edit->Preferences->Performance and then restart Photoshop for it to take effect
