Title: Frustrations with CS 6
Post by: Kirk Gittings on September 29, 2012, 08:12:53 pm: Any idea why CS 6 regularly "forgets" my preference settings-particularly painful are my my Auto Save preferences? This happens with all my pref settings-never all at the same time-but things like my history states, location of my scratch disk. This happens even when the program doesn't crash -which happens off and on-but always when it does crash. So the only thing I can rely on is to manually save-which I don't always remember. Windows 7, 24 GB Ram, 6 core always runs at 100% efficiency.

Also I have noticed that Auto Save Recovery only works with computer power interruptions but not when CS 6 itself crashes.... frustrating to say the least when it both crashes and has forgotten my auto save settings.

Does this happen with any other software ?
Any application crash log generated by PS ?
Any particular file size in PS ?
Could be a driver issue or a hardware issue - like memory, disk, or temperature.
Just some ideas.

Crashes always appear when grabbing some tool like Patch Tool.

No crash log. Just PS has encountered a problem and needs to shut down.

I just updated my graphics driver-lets see if that makes a difference.

Post by: darlingm on September 30, 2012, 01:18:20 am: I've been extremely frustrated with CS 6, and as I'm writing this post, I can't explain why I haven't downgraded. Otherwise a perfectly stable system, I have random crashes and forgotten preferences like you do. I've seen a ton of other people complaining about random crashes, and we haven't seen a fix yet. The thing that causes it most for me is going into any of the preference dialogs after it's been open for a while, but it certainly happens in other random places.

Let's hope so. Good luck!

No crashes since updating my video card driver!

What video card do you have & what video card driver version? I have an nVidia GeForce GT 240, and I'm on driver 301.42, which I could have sworn was the most recent when I re-installed my system upon purchasing a SSD drive four weeks ago. I see 306.23 is available, which I'll be upgrading to as soon as I have enough stuff closed down so I can reboot... Have a lot of windows open atm.

Post by: Kirk Gittings on October 02, 2012, 12:14:20 am: I have a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295 with version 9.18.13.593 releases 8/18/2012.

Still no crashes since updating the driver.
