Photoshop CS2 and Aero Glass

Well, after finally getting photoshop to install and run properly I still
can't find a way to get it to run using the Aero Glass interface.

Acrobat 7 runs fine...why not photoshop?

Anyone have an idea?

thanks

Which version of Vista are you running? I'm using RC1 and Photoshop CS2
installed and runs fine as does the Aero Glass interface. Have had no
problems with either. Interestingly all of my plugins work fine to including
some older ones that had problems in XP!

I currently have the same problem, but i think it may be due to updates not
installing correctly. I have used photoshop on RC2 pervious and had Aero.
After re-installing RC2 and then installing photoshop CS2 the colour scheme
changes to windows classic. My only problem, at the moment, is that the auto
updates have not installed and i think this is the problem. I will have to
download all the latest updates individually and see if that cures the
problem.

I too am having the same problem with RC2. Tried to maually download updates
to CS2, but I am told there are non for my system. It would appear that my
CS2 is up to date but still will only work in Windows Basic colours.

My Photoshop 6.0 seems to work fine with Aero! ;-)

Is there anything you can turn off in CS2 to check if it is forcing this
behavior?

There are known compatibility issues with Photoshop CS2 and Vista RC2+. It
may or may not shut down desktop composition, disable Aero glass, or run at
all (workaround is run as Admin if UAC enabled).

Keep bugging Adobe!

John,

Yes sorry if it wasn't clear. Running it as admin. was to resolve the "not
running at all" issue. Overall point is Adobe Photoshop CS2 has some issues.
I'll speak with some friends that use it on a daily basis to glean some
tips.

It's not just Photoshop CS2 that does this. Macromedias Fireworks 8 also
changes the screen visuals to 'basic'. The error message for both programs
is the same. They tried to perform an action that causes the system to run
in Vista Basic. The system reverts to Aero when the programs are closed.

I had the same problem with updates for Photoshop. They were downloaded, and
I checked that they were in their various folders within the Updater folder.
When I ran update I got messages telling me that the update had failed. When
I restarted Photoshop it showed that it was now version 9.0.2 so that update
had worked. When I looked into the Updater folders there were no updates
there. I ran the check for updates from within Photoshop and it says none
available.

I came across something similar with the AJAX toolkit. The system said that
the installation had failed, yet when I ran Visual Studio the toolkit was
available.

Weird!

Graham.

Graham you have had the same problem as i have regarding Photoshop updates.
I used the automatic update when i first installed Photoshop on Vista and
found that half of them 'failed to install'. I then went to the download
page on the Adone site and downloaded all the available downloads. Again, on
attempting to install, half failed. It may be a case that, in keeping with
many other software manufacturer's, Adobe are not going to put out a fix for
these problems until Microsoft actually release Vista.

The most obvious way was after opening PS CS2 is to stop the dwm and then
restart it.
So after launching CS2 go to the run box and write:
net stop uxsms
and then then
net start uxsms

that brings back the glassey look when running CS2.
But sure there must be a more easy way to get it back...

This works, which is great, but is there any way of automating it? A little
batch file?

@echo
net stop uxsms
net start uxsms
echo DWM Restaret

and save it as a *.bat file
