2. Re: Cannot write text on a textlayer, screen goes black in W8, OK in W7, same version (CC14) and computer.
Navigator99 Nov 21, 2014 2:08 AM (in response to Chris Cox)Thanks, but of course I did that earlier. As I said from W7 it works fine, but W8.1 Pro gives this problem. I use the Intel graphics build into in my system, driver for Intel 2000 graphics seems the same as for W8 (driver nr and such). So, bad luck I cannot use Photoshop on W8.
My system is 64bit, i7-2600 with 16 GB memory and Dell 2005 monitor. Version of the driver: Intel 2000, 9.17.10.3347 No better drivers available.
Thanks anyway

c.pfaffenbichler Nov 21, 2014 2:11 AM (in response to Navigator99)Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Navigator99 Nov 22, 2014 12:13 PM (in response to Navigator99)Thanks a lot. This is the correct solution to the problem.
Great! and a happy newyear!

Chris Cox Nov 22, 2014 11:00 PM (in response to Navigator99)Turning off GPU drawing is a bandaid -- you still need to update your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website (NOT Microsoft or a system builder) to pick up all the bug fixes.

c.pfaffenbichler Nov 23, 2014 6:30 AM (in response to Chris Cox)Like Mr.Cox indicated turning "Use Graphic Processor" off is but an indicator of where the problem lies, it is intended to serve a diagnostic purpose and is not a proper solution.
