Re: [Digital BW] PS 6 Upgrade problem

2001-12-08 by Maris V. Lidaka, Sr.

I can say this:

I am running Win98SE with the Dell P991 19" monitor (Sony Trinitron) with the same nVidia Graphics card (though probably a different manufacturer - nVidia makes the guts and others incorporate them into the cards) and everything works fine.  So at least it is probably not the hardware.

I am using the Detonator 3 driver which works fine, so try that out.  They have come out with a new driver called XP 21.82 (which applies to Win98SE as well) which didn't work for me but has worked for others.  Maybe download a new nVidia driver and see what happens.

Subject: [Digital BW] PS 6 Upgrade problem


| I'm going to look in multiple spots for a solution but clues will be 
| much appreciated.
| 
| Got the Photoshop 6 upgrade last night, installed. fine.
| This morning out of curiosity I switched screen settings
| Control/display prop./settings/color - from High color 16 to true 
| color 32.
| 
| Shut down and restarted.
| 
| When I restarted I was unable to start PS 6 or PS 5.
| Unable to log on directly to www.adobe.com but can come
| in through the backdoor.  Also couldn't access Photoshop
| Elements or Canon Zoom browser.
| 
| I can access _Photoshop 4_ (and printed) MSword and obviously visit 
| other websites directly.
| 
| Exact error message...
| 
| Red circled X followed by 
| "Unable to continue because of hardware or system error.
| Sorry but this error is unrecoverable" with a Quit button.
| 
| System is Win98se, Pentium3 Display is a Dell P991 on
| 32MB DDR NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS (not that that means something to me).
| 
| Will be looking for solutions?!?
| 
| TIA,
