HOW TO CS6

[Mark101]

I need to do a fresh install of my OS windows 7 . How do I go about not loosing my actions and filters and such?
Ty for any help

Actions should not be lost. Plugins will probably need to be reinstalled.
Best to take backup copies of all the files first.

Your settings but not your filters will probably be here:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6

Thanks for the info. Any other tidbits of advice I should know about.

I wonder why you feel you need to do it? There is a way to clear all the settings back to default.

I have been having issues with BSOD and I have reloaded all drivers. The strange thing is that it is perfect in safe mode but then when you change out of safe it goes bsod as soon as you open

 

[Growltiger]

I think it unlikely that any application could cause a BSOD. Therefore a reinstall of Photoshop won't help.

I'm assuming you are running Windows 7 64 bit, not 32 bit?
And running the 64 bit version of Photoshop?

BSODs are generally caused by drivers or hardware problems.

You could get the dump and feed it to an online analyser to help find out the cause.

You were correct ,it was my gpu driver when it did and update and also my kepersky av software as well. Here is what I found on the gpu issue. Thanks for help Growltiger.

Actions, presets, etc should never be installed in Photoshop. Install in documents -folder-with proper .act. Net version will find it. Do not move them
