I’ve seen many messages about CS4 and Open GL problems but not this specific one. With Open GL support turned on I get a box right in the middle of the image at the very top. I’m running the latest nVidia drivers for my card (8800GT with driver v180x48 dated 11/19/08). I have the problem with SLI both enabled and disabled. When I disable Open GL support and re-open the image everything works fine.

So far, PSCS4 is running fine except for that. Which means I can’t rotate the canvas, but that isn’t a show-stopper for me. I assume this means I’m waiting for nVidia and Adobe to resolve Open GL issues. But any other advice would be appreciated.

using Photoshop CS4 Extended 64bit trial, with OpenGL support enabled i can’t see images!

I’m Running Windows Vista 64bit, 4GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 9800GTX.

Anybody have a solution? (other to disable OpenGL)

Sorry, but no. I have an ATI card, and when I drag an open image, the content disappears (XP Pro SP3). I have the latest drivers for my card, and I keep getting told to update my video drivers. Yeah, right.

Adobe keeps telling me that they can’t reproduce the problem. Again, yeah, right. Many people here have reported the problem, so yes, it’s reproducible.

I would add that I emailed Adam J. to volunteer to help (see the stickie post at the top of this list). Have yet to hear back from him, and it’s been longer than a week. I guess I’m a pariah. A money-paying pariah, but a pariah none the less.

Or you could guess that Adam is really busy and a few of the engineers are out sick…

no 3d functionality with CS4 so I upgraded my graphics card based on the following requirements:

< http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/systemreqs /> “Some GPU-accelerated features require graphics support for Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 2.0”

Using these criterion I found this card and bought it:

The ATI FireGL V3350 features full Shader Model 3.0 support and scalable ultra-threaded architecture with true 128-bit floating-point precision. Both OpenGL 2.0 and OpenGL shading language are supported in the unified drivers for the FireGL V3350, as is Microsoft DirectX 9 with Dx9 HLSL. Drivers are available for Windows XP, Windows XP64, and Windows 2000, as well as Linux 32 and Linux 64. Specs here:

<http://ati.amd.com/products/workstation/techspecs2.html>

Upgraded to the Feb 2009 drives and still no 3d support. Any suggestions..return the card? What card really works and cost less than $250?
