Re: No 3-D
The Photoshop CS4 3D ability is based upon your graphic card having OpenGL capability - go to Edit>Prefrences>Performance... and check the box that says Enable OpenGL Drawing within the GPU Settings area of the tab.

Hope that helps

Re: No 3-D
Thanks Betty, But all those boxes have been ticked. I have used 3D in the past, and as far as I know haven't made any recent changes. to try and fix it I even uninstalled and re-installed PS. I'm running CS4 extended, and have a good graphics card, so it should all work.

Re: No 3-D
Oh well at least it works then - perhaps it was the other way around. *shrug* I'll have to check my settings.

*edit* Well OpenGL enabled or disabled works on my machine only slower without it - maybe on yours, Vibeke, there was some initial incompatibiliy have you tried it enabled as well as disabled now it's working again.
