My particular Foobar reared its face in the form of “invisible images.”
That’s where you open a file and you can see all the layers in the Layers Pallet, but the work area is blank. Just an empty gray background just as if you had not even opened anything.

Ok the fix is much simpler than pulling out the install disk and going through all of that mess. Besides that would require you to save all sorts of plugins, brushes, action scripts, hotkeys, and anything else you have made custom to you give you a more productive and creative workflow.

Just erase your current preferences file and see if that fixes your photoshop woes.
Here’s how:

After starting Photoshop DO NOT WAIT for the the splash screen, and quickly press and hold <Alt><Control><Shift> simultaneously, if you are on a windows system. On a Mac press and hold <Option><Command><Shift>.

That little fix seems to fix about 85% of photoshop woes.

Oh, be sure to note any changes you have set-up in your preferences file, like scratch disk, units & measurements etc. Those are what you are resetting!

Happy Designing…

The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 56 of file “D:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscriptsExtData.js”:
ReferenceError: dwscripts is not defined

Well a search on the ole’ google turned up others have been having this trouble for years.

I would like to thank Heidi Bautista and her tip on how to fix this and cyberskillsguide  for helping find those pesky files that I swore were in another folder.

*note: Yes, I did have the hidden files in view mode.

Ok work flow continues, but still wonder what corrupted that file. Maybe a new Extension I added a few days ago…maybe

If this happens to you, hope this helped you out like it did for me.
