Photoshop CS2 always stay on top, even when I click another app from the windows taskbar (right of the start button).
It's completly annoying me. Always need minimized, click the other app, reclick again on photoshop, re-reminimized.
I only have 1 screen at work so I can't let photoshop on one screen and work with the other app on the other screen.
I look in all photoshop menu, find nothing
I googled the problem, and find a adobe page explain this problem is a "feature".
I only want photoshop cs2 work all other app on windows and loose focus, let new app appear on top.
Thank you.
I had this problem and somehow solved it. But my solution may be just as fickle as why the problem occurs in the first place. But here's what I did:
On the layers palette (F7) I clicked on the small arrow just below the close "X" button, on the right. Then I selected "Pallete Options"
Didn't change any options but just clicked OK.
Now the entire window remained on top, not just the palettes. So I restarted Photoshop and it seemed to fix the issue.
I found that if you open up "edit > preferences > Memory & Image Cache" and set your memory usage up then it will fix it. I am on a Windows 10.

Go to Edit > Preferences > File Handling > Uncheck Enable Version Cue Workgroup File Management
I literally JUST found this on accident and fixed it after having issues with all my toolbars being hidden behind stuff, and not being able to minimize without clicking on the PS window first etc. Seems to have worked!

I am having same issue with CS2 on Windows 7 64 bit. To work around, I hit tab on keyboard when photoshop window is active, that makes all pallets invisible, then I can switch to any window I need to work on.
As per this article there seem to be issue with Microsoft update https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2142314
I need that one of our computers, when it boots, automatically opens Internet Explorer. IE should be Full screen (without the border and the address bar.. totally full screen) and open a default URL (no problem on this, just set it as homepage). Then I would need that if a textbox inside this page gets focus then the on-screen keyboard should show up.
can this be achived with standard windows settings or do i have to write my own program with browser inside? if i write my own vb.net program, can the program be totally fullscreen (without the X to close and without seeing the task bar)
what we need to do is set up a sort of a internet station where random people can browse a given page without having a keyboard and without having the possibility to access the system.
thanks
I would say it is possible - but I have no idea how to achieve this. There will be a registry setting of some sort which SHOULD enable the keyboard. Sorry - I barely touched this areas :(
My manager thinks he's seen other people "lock" the windows on screen keyboard to the bottom of their applications, effectively docking it with their window, and wants me to reproduce this. They're using vb6 and occasionally vb.net.
I've done a good amount of googling on the subject and I'm resorting to looking into the windows SDK at the minute, but if someone out there can save me a few days of pain by either confirming that it's not possible or pointing me in the right direction if it is I'd appreciate it.
I find that the keyboard locks if I open it from the taskbar icon. It will stay on the bottom of the screen then, even if I'm not on a text field.
No idea how to achieve that programmatically though
I've uploaded a VS2010 project at the below location. This test app should be run once you have a full screen application running. As soon as its running, you have 2 seconds to click back on your fullscreen application. It creates 2 modeless dialog boxes using the full screen application (which should be the last window to have focus) as the owner of the dialog boxes. One dialog is displayed, hidden, the second dialog is displayed, hidden and then the first dialog is displayed again in a cycle. What I find is that when the first dialog box is displayed for the second time, the taskbar pops up. I've spent 4 painful days trying to understand whats going on here and I am desperate for some help.
I received some help which suggested that when I call DestroyWindow to hide the dialogs, Windows would put focus "somewhere" - and in my case the taskbar. Previously when I asked this question I wasn't using the full screen application as the Owner of my windows. I would have thought that the focus should go back to the owner window? I have also tried calling SetFocus() and SetForegroundWindow() on the full screen application prior to calling DestroyWindow on my dialog - but the seems to cause the taskbar to appear everytime and I don't want that at all.
Please help!
Sample VS2010 Project
OK, indirectly related to programming, but does anyone know how to capture a a screen that pops up for a few milliseconds in Windows? (The screen popups up when I double click an exe) and then terminates the process.
Its too fast to actually focus on the information its bringing up, but it is defnintly saying something
Is there some kind of software than can playback screen in ultra slow motion?
Is it a console app or a winforms app? If it's a console app, you could drop to a command line and run it manually. Then you can clipboard the output.
