Ok so bought a computer that has windows 8. When im designing in photoshop it does nothign but go black everytime i move the mouse. If i create new tex and try and it it it goes black and stays until I get the tex done. Also im haveing banwith issues and freezups with this software is anyone els having the same issues.

I've had the image disappear and it go black on me as well. Never lost anything and after clicking layers a few times everything came back. Annoying. No bandwith or freeze up issues. Running Windows 8 and CS6.

I'm currently running Windows 8 on a 32bit system. Running Adobe CS5.5, designing in Illustrator, Photoshop, ripping and printing in versaworks. Haven't had any issues at all.
So far I've notice its performing much smoother than Win 7 & Vista 64bit.
Mind you its only a 32bit Win 8, 4gb ram, quad core.

I have windows 8 pro with cs6 photoshop, illustrator, etc. And never had any problems.

CS6 has run very well on our Win 8 systems. We had some weird stuff early on, but we figured it out pretty fast.

Could be something simple. Check and make sure that the plugs on your your monitor / mouse / keyboard are tight in the sockets, and make sure your video card is properly seated.

If that doesn't do it, what are the specs on your computer?

Win8 Sucks

I purchased a new Win8 Dell XPS desktop, $1700 worth. Returned it after 4 days of trying to maneuver around it's issues. Purchased Win7 OS HP system with similar specs., it's stable, friendly, etc. I don't recommend Win8 OS to anyone. Toss Win8 OS out the window.

I have a feeling that Win 7 is going to be the next XP.

To me Win 8 should have been split into one version for tablets and mobile devices and the other version for regular desktop users. It's just too focused for mobile/touch devices for the desktop user. In my opinion for what it's worth.
