Update your Java at www.java.com... then reinstall JAlbum.

Sounds like a bad install. You can reinstall PS or mess with the your Adobe gamma control.

Run Adobe gamma control from control panel, load the sRGB profile (sRGB Color Space Profile.icm), adjust to your needs and resave it. Backup the old one just in case before you write over the top of it.

BDP,

Did you upgrade to CS from a prior version of Photoshop? If so, then your answer may be as simple as this:

Copy the Color settings file from

C:\Documents and Settings\"your user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\8.0\Color Settings.csf

to

C:\Documents and Settings\"your user name"\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings\Color Settings.csf

The folder "Local Settings" is, by default, a hidden folder. If it's not visible then you will need to enable "show all files and folders" from the Folder Options applet.


Again, this applies only if you have upgraded from a prior version of Photoshop.

Hope it helps, otherwise, please let us know how you make out.

Thanks.

Its gotten worse, now I tunes is not working, it says my library is damaged...
I think its a bigger problem than I first thought.

I have done all you said about photoshop, but it didnt work, so I have bitten the bullet and upgraded to CS2 and it works fine but now, itunes , is not working.

This is vexing me muchly!

BDP,

I believe Itunes has a "repair" feature built into their uninstall through control panel. "Change / "Remove" I think it is.

Use the "change" button and you should be presented with an option to "Repair" the installation. If not, there's always reinstall?! :shk:

? Let us know ?
