Hi everyone, I really hope that someone can help me out. Something really strange has happened to my PS7. I have tried everything and its doing my head in [doh] . Whenever I go to my browser in PS, it is stuck right in the top left hand corner of the screen. I try clearing the pallettes, resetting them to their original locations but to no avail. Its so far up in the corner that I can't navigate on it. Please, please, can someone come to the rescue?

If you tried resetting the palettes, you will have to Reset your preferences... hold Shift+Control+Alt when you start Photoshop... but save all the settings before.!

Thanks Pierre for your tip, but I still have the problem. I have attached a screenshot of what my workspace looks like. A real inconvenience as I use my browser all the time.

Would appreciate any advise or anyone else has for this prob.

Many thanks

[confused] Have you "maximized" your browser???? Ummmm... so obvious, I just had to ask!

ladyfinger007

did you see the warning " do you want to reset your preferences?"

WAIT!

Try to move the option bar (there is an zone where you can select it at the Left of the hand on the pic you've posted) move it...

Push the drop down arrow inside the circle on the File browser palette, select "dock to palette well", then undock it to somewhere else on screen.

Another solution is to hide your tools : hit [TAB]
then Switch to full screen mode: hit [F] twice, now, call the file browser : [Shift+CTRL+o]
it might be showing lower as there should not be any option bar visible

-Edited for clarity-

Tell us if one solution works for you!

:{ I wished it were that simple. Yes my browser is fully maximised and I have a 17 inch screen. Really at a loss..................

joanykins

Pierre, not quite sure wot you mean............... :{

ladyfinger007

about what? the option bar? it's the bar where you have the settings, under File, tools... there are two vertical lines where you can move the option bar

excuse me, but a little bit of manual reading helps, sometimes

Oh dear.........no peace for the wicked - or for everyone out there as well. Yes. now I understand wot you mean by the Options bar. Agree tho I have a lot to learn. Don't know about my browser tho. Doesn't say that is supposed to happen in the manuals. Well I tried everything you suggested but to no avail. Don't say I gotta reinstall???? Maybe it would be quicker?

[size=18px]Hooray. Thanks everyone for your help. Just posted to say nothing is rectifying my problem. Closed down Photoshop. Opened it up again to show my other half my problem - Hey Presto all is back to normal. So what do you say to that? Not a lot I suppose

Maybe it was your suggestions that helped. Another learning curve for me tho.

Wished I knew wot started the problem. Was it something I done? I will never know. ;\
