@minuardj47694956, Glenn was not asking about video.  He is talking about the driver (software) for your video card which is also known as a Graphics Card or GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).

I have a game ready driver to download for my video card,  I always download and install them- never have had an issue.

Is the file into which you are pasting in RGB color mode or Grayscale?  If it is Grayscale, you can change it to color under the Image>Mode menu:

I will keep in mind what you said. For now my photoshop is working okay. Thanks for your help. I think I know how to check the CPU driver. Good suggestion and thanks.

Are your video card drivers up to date?

Thanks for answering.  I never do video editing on my photoshop.
