My ps cs5 has been fine until today, now when I go to open any files or even a new file they open, show the file tab at the top and all the layers to the side but all I can see is a grey screen. I've tried zooming and moving but nothing. It scrolls up and down but all I get is the grey screen.

It's the same on all files I open
many thanks in advance for your help, hope you can solve it

Sounds like an out of memory error. other than that, i've never had that problem before.

Try clearing your Clipboard and the age old trash your preferences, Ctrl+Alt+Del (Hold) on start-up of Photoshop.

If that doesn't do the trick, perhaps a screenshot, with your PS settings displayed along with the problem may help.

Ctrl+Alt+Shift while starting will reset Photoshop preferences to factory. Ctrl+Alt+Del can be used to show what's running, CPU etc. (Windows).

You do need to provide more detail - you say that all you see is a grey screen, but then you say that it scrolls up and down. Do you mean that the Photoshop background is grey?

I agree that a screenshot would be great.

Ctrl+Alt+Del - oops, brain not engaged. Blush
