Photoshop CS3 / CS4 showing same preview of all pallets for color, gradient, sahpes etc

[fahad_...@adobeforums.com]

I previously used to work on a x86 xp with version cs2 of photoshop and never had any problems. Recently upgraded to x64 xp and installed cs3 trial.

The abnormal behavior is when ever u want to style a layer or want to select any preset gradient, shape whatever, the pallets that hold the previews have same thumbnail preview for all the items in the category. For example in the default gradient pallet the 1st item u see is the one that goes from white to black. That gradient preview thumbnail is repeated on all the items in the pallet. when I click anyone, the preview of that particular item changes to random gradient, same for shape / color etc.

So i installed Cs4 trial which i thought had better support for 64bti system but same happens on that aswell.
Also while editing text it causes the text to deform into weird shape sometimes.

I havent tried installing cs2 back to see what happens cause i wanted to upgrade to cs3 or above.

Can someone help me out with this??

First off, reset your preferences to see if that solves the problem.

Then update your video card drivers...
