"open with" in Win7 not working

[celcius]

If you have done all I have suggested and you still seem to have a
problem then I'm out of ideas, sorry.
Hopefully somebody else can sort you out.

Thanks a million, Dave.
I did many searches and finally found out that many people like me have the
same problem with "open with" and Photoshop CS5.
I'm going to a presentation tonight in Ottawa at Adobe on Indesign CS5
(which I also have) and plan to ask the question there. After all although
the forum is Indesign, these people are with Adobe. If they can't help me,
they might point me in the right direction.
Best regards,
Marcel

Hi Trev!
That's what I'm doing right now. It's really not a big problem, except if I
double-click on a file to open it, it doesn't open with Photoshop...

I don't think it's an Adobe problem.
I have just installed PhotoShop CS5 onto Win7 64 bit and I can open a .jpg with
Photoshop and make it stick on the 'Open with...' menu.
Do you have any antivirus stuff running in the background?

Thanks Parko!
Dowloaded it. Ran it.
Got the following statement: "No Nero products detected or nothing
selected for clean. Exiting Nero General Clean Tool" (I got a list which
disappeared as fast as it appeared.
Marcel

You'll probably need to re-install the offending Nero product, then run
the Dl'd uninstaller utility. I had a similar problem 3 years ago with an
XP machine and an earlier version of Nero.

Thanks, Dave.
I've taken down the address. If I can't solve this another way, I'll try
this one.
Marcel

While you're there, browse a bit. NirSoft has a lot of things, many of
which are useful. Your useful set probably won't be quite the same as mine,
but it's a fun site.

Yes, Dave.
Eset Nod32, but I usually have no problem with it.

Hi Parko!
Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm coming here late. If you haven't solved your problem, try running in 32
bit.

That's a good idea, but CS5 installation is an either / or. I installed it
in 64 bit. MInd you, I can try a reinstall / repair

 

[celcius]

Wrong! CS5 will allow the installation of both 32 & 64 bit. I know cause I
both installed on my Windows 7x64.

Of course, you're right, Frank.
What I meant was one had the choice.
Hoewever, could you please enlighten me on one thing: How do I know which is
which once (and if) it's installed on both 32 and 64 bit. All I get is
Photoshop in the uninstall program. I'm asking because I re-ran the
installation and saw the 64 bit was the second one (the one below).
Secondly, Is there a merit in having both 32 and 64 bit?
Third. If I want only the 64 bit, can I unisntall the whole thing and
re-install, even if it's an upgrade and my CS3 is on anothe machins now?
Since this is a Win thread, you may answer me directly.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
Marcel

 

[celcius]

If you go to all programs/CS5 you'll see they are clearly marked:

Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64bit)

and

Adobe Photoshop CS5

Once you click on uninstall CS5 in Programs & Features, you'll see a
choice as to which individual programs you wish to uninstall. If you've
installed both the 32 & 64bit of PS you'll see both of those choices
listed.
As to the merits of both, 64 will run slightly faster and will use more
RAM but it will not run most all of the previous (old) plug-ins that will
still run on the 32 bit.

Therefore I'd suggest you keep both, but if you want to uninstall the
32bit, just simply select it when you click on the uninstall.
HTH

Thank you Frank!
Marcel

 

[J. D. Slocomb]

Thank you Frank!
Marcel

I hesitate to start an potential argument with Frank but I've got Win
7 installed on several machines, some in 32 bit and some in 64 bit and
frankly I can't tell the difference. At least not when I move from one
machine to another although if I were to run two machines side by side
I might.

If I were in doubt, I'd just install in 32 bit mode and go merrily on
my way.

This, of course, ignores the certainly valid fact that 64 bit is the
wave of the future so does one want to be part of the cutting edge, or
not?

One interesting data point: in downloading the volume license version of
Office 2010 from Microsoft's VLA site you've got the choice of the 32-bit
and 64-bit versions. The page from which you select which version you want
has the notation:

=====

Important: Microsoft strongly recommends the use of 32-bit (x86) versions of
Office 2010, Project 2010, and Visio 2010 applications as the default option
for all platforms. Learn more about the deployment considerations for x64
and x86 at Technet.

Hi, Marcel.

I can’t help with CS5 or Photoshop specifically because I’ve never run
either of them. (Closest I come is with Photoshop Elements.) But for all
applications installed in 64-bit Windows (including WinXP x64 and Vista x64,
as well as Win7 x64), the default location for a 64-bit app is the
C:\Program Files folder. For a 32-bit app in 64-bit Windows, the default is
to the folder that does not exist in 32-bit Windows: C:\Program Files
(x86). Note the “(x86)â€, which is supposed to signify the Intel x86 family
of CPUs (8086, 80286, Pentium, etc.).

Another way that SHOULD work is good ol’ Help | About. In IE8, for example,
the 32-bit version runs by default in a 64-bit Windows. Click IE’s Help |
About Internet Explorer; if you see “64-bit Edition†following “Version
8.0.7600.16385â€, then you are running the 64-bit edition of IE8; if it doesn’t
mention “bitness†at all, then you are running the 32-bit edition. I don’t
know if Adobe’s apps are this informative; please let us know if you find
out.

Hi!

Sorry to have taken so long to answer. I was of town.
I did find out about the default location. CS5 is as you said in the default
folder, not in (x86).
I finally gave up and was able to link JPEG's with Bridge CS5, which is a
good compromise.

Thanks for taking the time to write.

Hi, Marcel.

I’m glad you’ve had some success with this.

But you may have misunderstood what I said about the installation location; my explanation may have confused things.

I did find out about the default location. CS5 is as you said in the default

folder, not in (x86).

Unless it is a 64-bit application, CS5 SHOULD have installed into C:\Program Files (x86).

It is a 64bit application and has installed accordingly
