I am solving this problem by using "Hot Keyboard" program ( http:\\www.hot-keyboard.com ). I recorded mouse actions, such as zooming, and assigned to this records Photoshop standard shortcuts – Ctrl+, Ctrl-,….. It works!!

Instead of purchasing this $29.95 utility program, wouldn’t it be easier to call Adobe Photoshop customer support, to see if they can help you solve the problem.

Only if it’s legal copy.

"Hot Keyboard" is free for 21 days – enough to wait for good version of PS-CS.

Unfortunately, the problems with Photoshop CS go beyond an issue with shortcuts, and the shortcut problem can be fixed in a click if you’re using a legal version of PS CS.

Daryl … I think the "Good" version being waited for is not one that will come from Adobe.

Hi Don,

Yeah, I read that between the lines also. Meanwhile, I’m still hopeful for a good, problem-free version of PS CS from Adobe. The initial version 7.0 looks to be pretty worthless for me, unless I can identify some peculiar problem cause that is unique to my PC…problems persist in PS CS even after a weekend rebuilding from a wiped drive. At least I’ve got another 30 days now before activation is required, but I may activate it anyway, to see if that identifies the problem as being rooted in the activation process itself.

Hello Scott,

I totally understand what you’re saying and I do recognize my situation may be unique, but I’m really puzzled as to how that could be. Until I or we can identify the cause of the problem, bear with me as I will continue to vent my frustration some. I do contend that PS CS is buggy and I doing my part to try and isolate the problem; I welcome any useful suggestions on troubleshooting this issue. Quite honestly though, I’ve seen very few responses to my postings where I’ve speculated on the cause or even made reference to postings by others, which may be describing related problems. I know I’m not the only one to report the R6025 error about the pure virtual function call, but the other individual never returned to contribute any more information. I’ve given all the information I could at the time, and I continue to try and gather more. I’ll put up a new posting on this before long, rather than add it to existing threads that seem to be getting swept back further in the list and thus are becoming less likely to get the attention of folks with similar problems.

Regards,

Daryl

Daryl, so far you are the only one having a problem with the help menu. I know it’s not fun being the only one with the problem, but there it is. You would be far better off continuing to try and help us reproduce the problem than just complaining that Photoshop is buggy.

If a problem is reproducible on other machines, it is a bug with PS. If it is not, then the bug is in your machine, not PS.

viol8tion,

I know, I know…Yours is a pretty common answer to such a problem and I’m not ruling out my system. While it isn’t necessarily correct, the odds would appear to favor Adobe at this point. In fact, I’m doing all that I can to identify that it IS my system so that I can make the decision whether to keep PS CS or sell it.

Daryl, it’s not that I’m not rooting for you, I haven’t been offering any info because you’re doing everything I’d be doing in your shoes – except for replacing some hardware, which you’ve indicated you’re not prepared to do. Sorry dude. Still reading w/interest and if I have any thoughts I’ll chime in. Good luck!

Thanks Dave. Believe you me, I’d love to upgrade to a new P4 system and have given thoughts to going a cheaper route and just replacing my current mobo. But, what with all the other changes that would also seem wise to do as the result of that, I consider building a new system to be the wiser move, albeit farther delayes. There’s something about upgrading from an apartment to house that has affected things. Ha!

Actually, as I think of it, I’ll probably keep PS CS anyway, if only for my laptop. I’ve seen PS CS work without a hitch on a temporary install I performed on another PC, so, that as well as the lack of others reporting similar problems does point a finger at my desktop system. At least getting PS CS for the benefit of developing PhotoBars CS was worth the cost.

Regards,

Daryl

I was in the same boat when I went from pentium to a p3. Made more sense to do the whole she-bang! This one was easier (p3 -> p4) because I was able to go with a bare-bones system.
