Photoshop CS5.1 - Can't see my opened workspace [2012]

When I open photoshop, the workspace won't appear. It's layers show up on the layer menu, but the image and workspace are no where to be found. Entering full screen mode freezes. If i open photoshop and delete my settings, it fixes everything, but i am getting tired of setting all my settings back up every time i do this.

okay, just found that I can avoid restarting my computer by toggling Energy > Automatic graphics switching. Mght be worth a try if you're having trouble...

I have the same exact problem. The only solution I've found is to restart my computer. It definitely has nothing to do with workspace presets.

Here are my specs:

OSX 10.8.2

2.66 GHz Intel Core i7

4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Intel HD Graphics 288 MB

me too.. using a new retina MBP, and i suspect that there's a glitch handling multi monitors (i haven't had flawless dual screen performance, eg plugged in and gotten no response on the second monitor). Restarting sorted the issue for me.

PS doesn't seem to clever about multi monitors anyway, I've often found that fullscreen background won't extend to the bottom of the new screen when i plugin my external and i just need to restart PS.

You seem to use the term »workspace« for something other than what is referred to as »Workspace« in Photoshop, possibly »document window«.

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

I open a file, and the place where i work on the document doesn't show up, even though the file itself shows up in all of the panels.

When I enter full screen mode, this is what i see, and i can't go anywhere from here, the program has to be forced to quit.

Boilerplate-text:

Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
