Liquify tool doesn't preview

When I'm using the liquify tool it doesn't preview the changes I have made, the changes appear when I have clicked ok but never in the tool when im making them which makes it impossible to work with.

I am running the latest version of Photoshop CC. I have tried resetting all preferences in photoshop (ctrl+alt+shift when starting the program). I have also tried disabling the GPU in preferences and that doesnt make a differnce.

My specs are:

Win 7

Titan Black (with the latest drivers)

32gb ram

I have tried everything I can think of to make this work but now i'm really stuck and I need the liquify tool for some projects at work.

Can someone please help me?

Curious.

Could you undo the changes and post another screenshot with all View Options apart from »Show Image/Visa bild« turned off?

I assume you tested the problem on multiple images?

Eventually my problem was solved with a graphics card driver update.

I'm not really sure what you mean with liquify dialog but in the first screenshot I have loaded the picture in liquify and made changes without any of it showing up (the image looks the same as it did from the beginning). The second screenshot is immideatly after I have pressed ok and the changes that I made in liquify appear on the image.

Screenshot 1 (changes made in liquify, but not previewing)

screen2.JPG

Screenshot 2 (immediatly after I have pressed ok in liquify the changes appear on the image)

I hope this was what you asked for, if not please specify what you meant and I will send new screenshots

nothing of the above have worked, I haven't selected anything before going in to liquify so there is no selection active.

When I press "visa nät" (show net/mesh) I can see that the mesh is changing in the liquify tool as I am using it but nothing is happening to the image.

I have tried resetting all preferences in photoshop (ctrl+alt+shift when starting the program).

Just to make sure: Did you get and OK the dialog asking »Delete the …«?

I have also tried disabling the GPU in preferences and that doesnt make a differnce.

Again just to make sure: Did you restart Photoshop so the setting takes effect?

Another option might be to set the backdrop to a lower Opacity.
