I’m about to lose my sanity here.
I’ve used a working version of a PS CS6 before (I can no longer remember where I found it) and now when I’ve finally re-installed the program, it refuses to import any videos because the “DynamicLink Media Server is not available”.
Strangely I didn’t have the same problem with the newest version of PS (2021), which I however wanted to switch to an older version of PS because it’s so fucking slow on my current laptop that cropping & image resizing takes literally forever.
So here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Reinstalling it (obviously)
Disabling the Graphics Processor through a Performance tab
Restarting Photoshop
Restarting Windows
Enabling both CS6 + dynamiclink through a firewall on my laptop
Reinstalling the PS again
Resetting PS preferences
And guess what? It still. Doesn’t. Work.
Every time I try to import any kind of video, the loading screen stalls around 80%, gets stuck for a while and then displays that error message again.
I’ve come across this problem before and I do have a faint memory that disabling the Graphics Processor did the trick last time. Now nothing seems to work and I’m about to tear my hair out.
