Can't get past welcome screen

  • March 8, 2020

I've just downloaded Dimension on my Mac after doing a clean install, but can't seem to get past the welcome screen:

 

Whenever I click 'create new' or 'open' nothing happens

Also there is nothing in the menu bar apart from 'Quit'... which also doesn't work, I have to force-quit the app

 

Could this be anything to do with my Mac being a late 2009 model? It is getting quite old now! But I generally don't have problems apart from it being slow at times

    the install has failed and yes its because your Mac is just too old to run Dimension... 2011 is the [min] age chip that has any hope

    If your photoshop welcome screen is stuck and you can't see new files or images opened:

    Disable your graphics card link to photoshop - it is no longer supported:

    Settings -> performance - checkbox disable "use graphics processor"
    Camera-raw -> Performance -> Use Graphics Processor "OFF"

    Then update your graphics card drivers as they are released, and after every upgrade, try to switch these settings on again - if it doesn't work, switch them off.

    Hi

     

    I am having the exact same issue, but my mac is a more recent one.
    Not sure what to do.
