I bought 2 new PC during the December holidays
and suddenly I see a message which I have never
seen before.

”’Photoshop has encountered a problem with the display driver, and has temporarily disabled GPU enhancements.
Check the video card manufacturer’s web site for the latest software.”’

The display card is a GeForce 7050 and I have updated the driver.

I am running CS4 and CS4 had no problems on my older PC
and older display card. (GeForce 5200)

I think I am busy picking up problems with my 2½ years old AL1914 ACER screen, (causing animated flickering *only sometimes) but there is no way PS can be so clever knowing this.

What would be the reason for the error message?

BTW (off topic) I bought this Acer for the sake of a ‘3 years on site guarantee’, but firstly I have seen in forums people complaining about Acer’s customer service, and secondly, the animation (sometimes very bad) happens once or twice a day, and some days not even. Proving this to a Acer consultant may be difficult.

I think that PS didn’t take (much/any?) advantage of GPU acceleration capabilities in earlier versions. I was a beta tester of cs4 and they were crowing about this -new –
feature… I’d report it to Adobe.

Thanks Jason. I’ll sort my problems out with my Acer screen and then with Adobe. I should say, after display of this message regarding disabling GPU enhancements, I do not notice any difference.

The message continue by saying "GPU enhancements can be enabled in the Performance panel of Preferences".

I went to the Performance panel and surely, GPU enhancements was disabled. I ticked ‘Enable OpenGL Drawing’, closed it and opened it again, and it kept on being enabled. Frustrating thus, but not serious.
