1. Re: Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver
dec9 Dec 15, 2008 9:28 AM (in response to hrh gracie)dkperez,
When you do the switch on a 32 bit operating system the first part of the 1 gig of address is assigned to your video ram.
So, lets say to keep this simple, if your card has 250 megs of ram then only 750 megs of address space is remaining for your operating system to run on and what ever else. -
2. Re: Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver
(Brandon_Jackson) Dec 15, 2008 10:38 AM (in response to hrh gracie)I don't think the switch is relevant here. I am running into the same error described here (has happened several times) and I only have 2G of RAM in my XP machine. I get the same message when using transform and when sometimes using the text tool. I have an nvidia 7600GS 512MB card with the latest drivers and still get this error. Plus, when this happens, it only affects the open image, the other open images may still have OpenGL support features working. -
3. Re: Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver
hrh gracie Dec 15, 2008 5:53 PM (in response to hrh gracie)As I understand it (suspect at best) XP32 can address 4 gig of memory. the /3gb switch lets the applications get at 3 gig of that. If my video card takes the first 256MB, and XP is guaranteed the other 750 of the 1st gig, and in the CS4 performance preferences I should be giving it from 1462 - 1895 MB (I've given it around 1890), that leaves me with another gig or so... Is that limited to applications or can XP use it? In any case, I'm not crashing, I just get the message every so often about being out of memory. I don't recall ever seeing this with CS3, but new version, new oddities... -

(Clifton_Cline) Dec 19, 2008 11:10 AM (in response to hrh gracie)I'm getting the "encountered error with display driver, GPU features temporarily disabled" message as well. 3GB RAM, 9800GTX+, XP 32-bit. It used to work fine, not when the error started. Installed latest drivers, no solution. -

That's a typical scratch disk message, and probably not related to the "GPU features temporarily disabled" message. -

Chouray Jan 24, 2009 3:42 AM (in response to hrh gracie)1. Does Adobe monitor this forum -- and respond?
2. Who responds here? These are all questions and comments with no response.
I'm getting an error message "Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display drive, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements. Check the video card manufacturer's website for the latest software. GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences."
3. What are the GPU enhancements that are disabled?
4. What are the new Adobe features that require these enhancements.

John Joslin Jan 24, 2009 4:55 AM (in response to hrh gracie)This is a user to user forum.
Luckily, Adobe engineers pop in from time to time and give advice where they can but this is not Adobe tech support.
Regarding your error message, there are several hundred posts in several threads on this forum. Have a browse around.
Or there's alway google! -

The Type tool may also be affected (slow text appearance) if OpenGL is enabled on some graphic cards with certain drivers.
