Big PS Trouble :(

sara505

Hi. I have an antique version of PS - (5) too poor to upgrade - I was having problems (it was crashing upon save), so I uninstalled, reinstalled. The problem now is: When I open a file nothing shows up, except as a tiny thumbnail in the tool boxes - history, layers, etc. The other weird thing is, those windows - history, brushes, palette, layers - have no names.

Another weird thing is, when I open brush options, the window is very long - the width of the "canvas" (or where the canvas should be).

Can someone help me out - I have no PS right now - need it.

Something short of purchasing a new version, hopefully.

Fixed it! Re-installed for third time, restarted computer, voila, works perfectly. I still need to upgrade though. Someday.

On the upgrade front, you could get a v7 copy really cheap then use that license to upgrade to the furrent version. Should be cheaper than re-purchasing the full $600 license again.
