Error message while working in photoshop

Thank you! I will follow your suggestion for #2. Please send me the link to buy you a beer. -
Hi Brian, this popped up late last night. I tried going to preferences, but could not find this. I will post the screenshot of the message and the specs of my computer. I was going to call my IT guy but he is not good with issues around Adobe. Hope this is an easy issue.

Nice to know it is not just me that is frustrated with them!

Yes. I did calibrate and my prints were a good match. I am happy. I need practice in using the OSD button on the back side of the monitor and getting the toggle button to move the direction I want. I do love the size and the extra ports on the monitor.
-
I started to use the X Elite, then realized that the adjustments for brightness, color, etc was not on buttons on the monitor, but I had to open an App in the computer to use them. So I could not figure out how to keep the App open and still have the calibration screen up. I am trying again today. Hopefully it was due to the late hour and being tired.

Hi Brian. I have set up the Dell UltraSharp 27/32 4K USB-C Hub Monitor. I actually am very intimidated by this monitor! I don't fully understand All the ports. Anyhow, I have a Datacolor spyder X Elite calibrator. I was reading what calibrators Damien recommends, and saw there is a Spyder X 2 Elite. To calibrate the Dell monitor, which calibrator do you recommend?
-
Brian, I do use an external IPS monitor. If fact, I am purchasing this - Dell UltraSharp U2723QE 27" 16:9 4K UHD HDR IPS Monitor. I was not clear on why I need a laptop vs desktop. It is only because I travel to another state. I do have two external monitors I use when editing. So, Is the Dell laptop above acceptable if I do not need the IPS? I am still leaning to the Lenovo as I only purchase from B&H and I could not find the Dell laptop on B&H.

I am about to press buy at B&H for the Lenovo. My IT guy suggested this option. What is your opinion?

Hi Brian, I have spent two hours reviewing your recommendations for the specs that is needed to adequately run PS cc. I need a laptop as I spend days and weeks at another location. I use a monitor when editing at both locations. I will also need a new monitor. I looked at the Dell UltraSharp you listed. My first must have is the laptop. Please help me! I tried looking for a Dell laptop since you were so positive about Dell XPS line. I could not find a laptop that fit all the recommendations. I looked at Asus, Dell, and Lenova. Fortunately, money is not an issue. I want the best that is needed to run Photo Shop without issues.
-
I will do that. Thanks again.

LOL! I am so scared of messing up that if it is not the exact wording I freeze. I will follow your directions exactly. I am away from the computer now. I will let you know when I have succeeded.
